MOONTON Games announced a partnership with VISA, which will become the Official Payment Partner of the M7 World Championship.

VISA x M7 World Championship Partnership, Official Payment Partner to Support Young Generation in the Digital Economy World!
As the Official Payment Partner of the M7, VISA will play a pivotal role in elevating the M7 through premium fan experiences and secure payment solutions. The partnership reflects a shared vision of empowering youth to live and play while advancing financial inclusion through digital innovation. VISA, the world leader in digital payments, will join forces with MOONTON Games to provide MLBB fans seamless access to world-class esports experiences.
Facilitating payments across more than 200 countries and territories, VISA empowers people across the world to engage confidently in the digital economy. This partnership marks the payment giant's first collaboration with MLBB Esports - integrating its secure payment technology into MLBB's global digital community. MLBB has been named by numerous awards as the world's most popular mobile esports title in 2024 - including The Esports Awards, the Mobies, and the GamingonPhone Awards.
This year, it has continued to dominate the esports landscape, emerging as the most-watched title in Esports World Cup (EWC) history. With close to 60% of MLBB's 1,5 billion players aged between 19 and 32, this partnership extends beyond the game, it empowers the next generation to enjoy the digital experiences they love by opening the doors to safe and seamless digital transactions. Across Southeast Asia, where MLBB's most passionate fanbase lies, digital payents are reshaping how people interact with the economy.
At the heart of this shift is cards infrastructure, which remains the backbone of the payments ecosystem that drives digital wallets and contactless spend. This foundation gives young, digitally active consumers greater confidence to explore online experiences - from spending to playing and connecting with communities. By bringing this into the MLBB Esports ecosystem, the partnership ensures, broader access to the digital economy for youth worldwide.
Adrian Cher, Global Head of Partnerships, MLBB Esports at MOONTON Games, said: "Having VISA onboard for the M7 World Championship is a huge milestone for the industry. It shows how far MLBB and mobile esports have come-now attracting global, mainstream brands. While this is all incredibly exciting, more importantly is how this partnership allows us elevate the M7 experience for our fans. Every partnership should make a difference-and with VISA, we are going beyond esports. Having them onboard provides the youth reliable payment solutions, empowering them to thrive in the digital economy while pursuing their passions.
As the Official Payment Partner, VISA will integrate secure digital payment processes into MLBB's global esports ecosystem. Visa cardholders can enjoy an exclusive 20% off on M7 tickets throughout the regular sale, granting them access to the seventh edition of MLBB's flagship international tournament. They will also stand a chance to win exclusive M7 insider experience through Mythic VIP tickets, premium seating, backstage tours, and meet-and-greets. The full campaign details will be released at a later date.
Danielle Jin, Chief Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific, VISA, said, "We're thrilled to partner with MOONTON Games as the Official Payment Partner for the M7 World Championship, bringing VISA's secure and seamless payment experiences to one of the world's most dynamic esports communities. At VISA, we believe in empowering the next generation to pursue their passions-whether in gaming, competition, or connecting with friends-by making digital payments simple, safe and accessible,"
"Through this partnership, we're not only supporting the growth of esports, but also making it easier for young fans and players to enjoy the game, connect with their community, and access exclusive experiences. We look forward to celebrating the spirit of competition and innovation with MLBB fans at the M7."
