Australian online sports betting operator Sportsbet has renewed and upgraded its relationship with the National Rugby League (NRL).
On Friday, the NRL announced it had re-upped with Sportsbet on a new pact that will see the Northern Territory-licensed bookie serve as the NRL’s official wagering partner until 2020. The deal is valued at “more than $60m” (US $44m) which the NRL says will “enable funds to be put back into the game at all levels.”
The deal provides Sportsbet, the down under division of the newly merged Paddy Power Betfair behemoth, with first crack at advertising during NRL events on official TV broadcasters Nine Network and Fox Sports, as well as with radio networks. Sportsbet will also work with the NRL to accelerate the league’s digital offering, opening up new opportunities for data analytics, insights and direct marketing.
Andrew Abdo, the NRL’s head of commercial, said the deal came with some conditions, including controls to restrict wagering promotion, particularly with an eye towards protecting underage sports fans. Sportsbet will also “fund and implement a market leading responsible gambling program.”

UK-listed online gambling operator 32Red says it started 2016 off on a financial tear while also announcing a new shirt sponsorship with English Premier League footballers Leeds United FC.
On Friday, 32Red issued a trading update covering the year-to-date through May 11, during which like-for-like gaming revenue was up 39% from the same period last year. Throw in the contributions from Malta-licensed online casino brand Roxy Palace, which 32Red acquired last summer, and revenue is up a hefty 71% year-on-year.
As for that shirt deal, 32Red says the pact will last three years, commencing with the 2016-17 EPL season. In addition to having their logo adorn the chests of Leeds players, 32Red says the deal offers them primo visibility throughout the team’s Elland Road home stadium as well as access to Leeds’ global fan base via the club’s digital and media platforms.
Interestingly, 32Red’s traditional red logo will appear blue on the team’s shirts. The color swap is a nod to the longstanding animosity Leeds fans have shown EPL rivals Manchester United, whose association with the color red makes 32Red’s traditional logo a non-starter if it hopes to get off on the right foot with Leeds fans.
