PlayaBets has launched a prominent brand partnership with rugby star and World Cup winner Faf de Klerk.
Known for his on-field boldness and off-field charisma, highlighted by the famous "speedo moment", de Klerk's character resonates deeply with the company's disruptive spirit against industry giants.
The two-time Rugby World Cup champion will star in marketing and advertising for the brand - including in Playabet speedos.
De Klerk's original "speedo moment" was his iconic appearance in South African flag-themed swimming trunks during Rugby World Cup celebrations.
The moment gained fame after South Africa's 2019 Rugby World Cup victory, where de Klerk joined fans and runners in the speedo for a playful meet-and-greet and street run.
