Betway Announce Multi-Year NHL Partnership

Betway, a premier online sports betting brand, and the National Hockey League (NHL) today announced a new multiyear U.S. partnership, naming Betway an Official Sports Betting Partner of the NHL. This deal represents Betway’s first sports betting partnership with a North American professional sports league.

Launching tomorrow with the start of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Betway will receive significant brand exposure on NHL game broadcasts via a corner in-ice brand position and camera-visible dasherboard. These signage placements will be for all games of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs and 2021 Stanley Cup Final, will continue throughout the duration of the partnership and be broadcast to fans on a global basis. Betway will also receive a corner in-ice brand position at NHL tentpole events, including the NHL Winter Classic, NHL Stadium Series and NHL All-Star Weekend.

Anthony Werkman, CEO of Betway said: “It’s an incredibly proud moment as we announce our first North American sports league partnership with the NHL. Starting with the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Betway brand will receive major exposure to sports fans around the globe and that will continue at other NHL tentpole events throughout the calendar, which is hugely exciting for us.”

“The Stanley Cup Playoffs is the most exciting two months in sports and delivers a tremendous opportunity for fan engagement on a global basis,” said Keith Wachtel, NHL Chief Business Officer and Senior Executive Vice President. “With the sports betting category continuing to evolve at a rapid pace, we’re thrilled to launch our new partnership with Betway at this very exciting time of our season. Betway has a very aggressive growth strategy and are an ideal partner to engage with our avid fan base.”

Betway is the flagship sportsbook brand of Super Group (SGHC) who earlier this month announced it had entered into a definitive agreement with Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp. (SEAH), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, to bring its leading global online sports betting and gaming group to the U.S. public markets.

Super Group CEO, Neal Menashe said: “This deal strengthens our global strategy to partner with the biggest leagues in the most popular sports around the world. Tens of millions of viewers will see the Betway logo on the ice for these prestigious games as we make ourselves known to a new audience in the U.S. and beyond.”
