Although there hasn’t been any official confirmation as of yet, many signs point to the real possibility that Viktor Blom has entered into some sort of sponsorship deal with Unibet. After the recent parting of ways with Full Tilt, Blom was up for grabs and it would make perfect sense for Unibet to extend their hand.

The company has been working on restructuring its business model after going fully independent and they’ve been investing a lot of money into marketing and promotions. Bringing a recognizable name like Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom on board would certainly go a long way toward helping with rebranding efforts if properly structured.

Although Unibet hasn’t come out with an official statement, Viktor, who is usually not very active on Twitter, tweeted yesterday to announce his participation in the Unibet Open and the high stakes cash game that will be taking place at the same time.

Alex Dreyfus, owner and leading man of the Global Poker Index, whose Twitter activity has also increased over the last few days, hinted at this possibility as well.

Given that Unibet was originally a Swedish company, the idea of this partnership makes even more sense. The Swede would certainly profit in different ways from this deal as well.

The Unibet Open in London starts in a couple of weeks (on November 27), so if the sponsorship rumors are true, that would be the most likely time for it to be announced. Our own Rikard will be on location during the tournament so we should be able to get first-hand information at that time.

Of course, the obvious question after all this is – what’s going on with Gus Hansen ?
