SUNBET ENTERS THE ARENA
BMW X2 – It’s Not Just a Giveaway, It’s a Statement

Pretoria, 17 February 2025 – Sunbet is making a bold statement in the South African betting landscape with its biggest giveaway yet. In partnership with Evolution Gaming, Sunbet awarded one lucky winner a brand-new BMW X2, valued at R1 million, at an exclusive event at Time Square in Pretoria this past Saturday, February 15. The grand prize? A sleek BMW worth over R1 million, paired with a luxurious weekend getaway at Time Square.
While high-stakes giveaways are not new to the betting world, this marks a first for Sunbet —one that signals its arrival as a major player in the industry. The giveaway isn’t just about luxury; it’s about pushing boundaries and bringing the thrill of high-performance betting to life, much like the essence of its Come. Alive. brand messaging.
“The Come. Alive. campaign is all about capturing the excitement of every moment, and that’s exactly what this giveaway embodies,” says Justin Palte, CMO at Sunbet. “We’re not just rewarding our players; we’re elevating their experience.”
Tyler Gentle, Sunbet’s Casino product specialist, emphasised the importance of this collaboration: “Partnering with Evolution Games allows us to offer world-class gaming experiences, and this BMW giveaway demonstrates the strength of that partnership and the excitement we want to bring to our players.”
Sunbet’s partnership with Evolution Gaming has allowed it to expand its offering with world-class live casino games, and this collaboration has now extended into a once-in-a-lifetime prize. Players earned their entries through selected Evolution games, making this giveaway an immersive extension of the premium gaming experience Sunbet is known for.
BMW X2 winner, Ruan Pelser, graciously accepted his win in front of a live audience at Time Square, and drove away in a luxury SUV that perfectly mirrors the exhilarating nature of Sunbet’s betting environment. The event served as a celebration of Sunbet’s continued growth, reinforcing its commitment to delivering premium rewards and unparalleled excitement to its customers.
Justin further shares how they are redefining the betting landscape: “We wanted to create a promotion that not only rewards our players but also reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences” Sunbet is all about giving players more—more excitement, more rewards, and more reasons to keep coming back. Giving away an R1 million BMW is just one example of how we look to step up to the plate and offer the world-class experience you’d expect from Sun International. Thanks to our valued partner, Evolution, we made this incredible prize a reality, and there’s plenty more on the way.
This is just the beginning— Sunbet is where you play bigger, win bigger, and ‘Get More from Every Moment” while you “Come Alive” like never before,” Palte adds.
