The Cincinnati Bengals and Betfred announced a multi-year partnership to make Betfred the team’s official sports betting partner.
“The Bengals continue to look for exciting new ways to enhance the fan experience and this partnership will provide additional opportunities to engage with our fans. We look forward to working with Betfred to create fun, fan-focused activations that add to the excitement on gameday,” Brian Sells, VP and Chief Marketing Officer of Cincinnati Bengals, said.
Betfred USA is the wholly owned US subsidiary of Betfred Group, a UK-based bookmaker that owns and operates over 1400 betting shops in the UK with over 50 years of experience. Betfred is currently operating in six states and continues to grow its US presence.
“This is an exciting opportunity to partner with the Bengals as we continue to expand Betfred across the US and into Ohio with the launch of sports betting in the near future. The Bengals are a premier franchise with a passionate fanbase and a history of innovation that aligns with our brand. We look forward to engaging with fans across the state as we introduce them to unique betting promotions and content throughout the year,” Mark Stebbings, Chief Operating Officer at Betfred Group, said.
Legalized sports betting in Ohio will officially begin on January 1, 2023. Pending appropriate licensing and regulatory approvals, Betfred plans to launch a mobile sports betting app for fans to place wagers on sporting events anywhere in Ohio. The partnership also includes a variety of fan engagement activations, promotions and free-to-play gaming opportunities. Betfred was represented in the deal by SCCG Management.
