Majority-owned by The Stars Group, Beteasy has secured the first official wagering partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA) in Australia.
As exclusive official wagering partner of the NBA in Australia, BetEasy has gained the rights to use NBA assets in marketing materials and will have its products promoted directly to NBA fans in the country.
Additionally, BetEasy will become the presenting partner of “NBA Pick‘Em: Weekly 6”, a free-to-play game where fans can win great prizes for predicting NBA games. The game will launch in Australia later this year.
The partnership will be promoted throughout Australia, on BetEasy’s assets and the NBA’s online platforms, including the league’s official local destination, the NBA App and the NBA’s localized Facebook and Twitter accounts.
BetEasy will also use official NBA betting data while working closely with the Association to protect the game’s integrity and promote responsible wagering.
“Basketball is the most-popular and fastest-growing sport for Australian wagering customers and our partnership with the NBA will allow us to offer the best NBA betting experience for our customers,” Matt Tripp, BetEasy CEO, commented.
“As we continue to explore international opportunities in the sports betting space, we are thrilled to extend our partnership with The Stars Group to include BetEasy in Australia,” Scott Levy, Executive Vice President & Managing Director of NBA Asia, added.
“Australia has set the standard for cooperation between leagues and sports betting operators, and we are excited to leverage the local and global expertise of BetEasy to create the best possible gaming experience for our passionate NBA fans in Australia.”
Our readers will recall The Stars Group clinched a deal with the NBA late last year, becoming an authorized gaming operator of the NBA in the U.S. under the BetStars brand (see previous reports).
