Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is one of the brightest stars of modern football. For many years, he successfully defended the gates of Real Madrid and the Belgian national team. In addition to his sporting achievements, Courtois is also known for his participation in advertising campaigns for various brands, including bookmakers.
The star goalkeeper has turned his back on a staggering €100 million offer from 1xbet. Despite the impressive amount offered by 1xbet, Courtois has chosen to stay loyal to his current club and continue with his current project. This bold move demonstrates that Courtois values long-term career growth and success with his local team over the short-term financial gain of a contract with 1xbet. This decision deserves immense respect and shows that there is still room for true loyalty in modern football.
At the beginning of his career, when Courtois was playing on loan for Atlético Madrid, he actively collaborated with one of the largest online bookmakers – Bwin. At that time, Bwin was one of the main sponsors and advertising partners of the Madrid club, and Courtois became the face of this bookmaker. The footballer often appeared in Bwin commercials and participated in various marketing activities of the brand. Courtois' collaboration with Bwin continued for several years, until his transfer to Real Madrid in 2018.
After a successful spell at Atlético Madrid and a stint at the Royal Club, Courtois began looking for new opportunities for endorsement deals. In 2021, he signed a deal with another well-known bookmaker – 888sport. This deal involves Courtois’ participation in various marketing activities for 888sport, including filming commercials, posting on social media, and participating in promotional events. The amount of the deal has not been disclosed, but given Courtois’ status as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it can be assumed that this is a very lucrative deal for both parties.
