Chris Newsome — Official Ambassador of 1xBet

Christopher Elijah Duque Newsome, born on July 25, 1990, in San Jose, California, is a Filipino-American professional basketball player for the Meralco Bolts in the Philippine Basketball Association. Though he began his youth in baseball and football, he turned to basketball in seventh grade and quickly excelled, helping his high school win a state championship. Newsome continued to build his athletic profile at New Mexico Highlands University before transferring to Ateneo de Manila, where he earned Mythical Five honors in UAAP Season 77. Selected as the fourth overall pick by Meralco in the 2015 PBA draft, he signed a three-year deal and made his professional debut that October.

He emerged as PBA Rookie of the Year in 2016, later earning accolades including All-Star selections, All-Defensive Team honors, and a Finals MVP award during Meralco’s 2024 Philippine Cup championship. Versatile on the court, Newsome plays both guard and small forward positions at 6′2″ and has shown consistent scoring, athleticism, and defensive strength. Internationally, he has contributed to the Philippines’ success in 3×3 and 5×5 competitions, winning SEA Games gold and competing in the Asian Games. Off the court, he is admired for his leadership, hard work, and community engagement, making him a strong role model for fans and aspiring athletes alike.

We partnered with Chris Newsome at 1xBet because his values — hard work, discipline, and a never-ending desire to succeed — are exactly the same as ours. Chris chose to work with us because we are dedicated to doing a great job and because we both love connecting with fans and communities across Asia in a real way. Chris saw 1xBet as more than just a sponsor after his amazing 2024 Philippine Cup win with Meralco and great performances on the international stage. We’re a brand that supports him as an athlete and as a person. We’re working together to give Filipino basketball fans great opportunities, such as special meet-and-greets, free stuff, and digital interactions with other fans. Chris hopes that this partnership will encourage the next generation of athletes, especially those from areas that aren’t well represented, to stay focused on their goals and follow their dreams. With 1xBet by his side, we’re dedicated to making memories that will last a lifetime and bringing more attention to the sport in the region.
