Enthusiast Gaming Collaborates With White Claw 0% Alcohol During “0-100 Happy Hours” Campaign

Campaign to Feature Luminosity Gaming creators and professional esports athletes to promote White Claw 0% Alcohol via interactive head-to-head challenges

Los Angeles, October 24th – Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (“Enthusiast Gaming” or the “Company”) (TSX: EGLX), a leading gaming media and entertainment company, today announced, in partnership with White Claw™ 0% Alcohol, a non-alcoholic premium seltzer from leading alcoholic seltzer brand White Claw®, an interactive live streamed challenge. This event kicked off on September 26th, 2024 and is continuing for a six week-period through October 30th with two additional events.

Through Enthusiast, White Claw will authentically connect with the gaming community through a series of head-to-head challenges that prominently showcase Luminosity Gaming content creators during each live stream of the “0-100 Happy Hour, Presented by White Claw 0% Alcohol” series. Over the course of the six-week challenge, these live stream showdowns will feature six popular Luminosity members such as Sweetdreams, Coney, and Jay3 competing and enjoying titles such as Apex Legends and Golf with Your Friends to encourage friendly competition amongst viewers.

The “0-100 Happy Hour” live stream campaign with White Claw 0% Alcohol aims to promote an alternative to other product segments with alcohol-free consumption while gaming to encourage peak performance. Viewers can engage with their favorite creators as they partake in all the action refreshed by White Claw 0% Alcohol – and look forward to a unified game for all participating creators this fall.

“A drink for all occasions, White Claw 0% Alcohol is a game-changing, premium non-alcoholic seltzer that has the depth and complexity that tastes, feels, and looks like no other non-alcoholic drink,” said Kevin Brady, Vice President of Marketing, Mark Anthony Brands Inc. “As a brand, we exist to refresh social connections, which is why we are thrilled to partner with Enthusiast Gaming to offer a beverage that is refreshing drinking occasions while delivering a delicious option to fans exploring a damp lifestyle.

The next live stream event will take place on October 24th at 3 PM ET and the finale on October 30th at 9 PM ET will feature a Halloween themed favorite with six Luminosity creators taking on the “0-100 After Party” with the popular party game Among Us.
