Leading gambling operator Betway has been announced as the official betting partner of Eintracht Frankfurt FC, a Bundesliga German football club.
Under the three-year partnership, Betway’s branding will be promoted at the Deutsche Bank Park stadium on the LED screens and cam carpets. The partnership also includes the creation of exciting content that promises to bring fans closer to the action than ever before.
Anthony Werkman, the Betway CEO, said in a statement to SBCNews: “We’re excited to be partnering with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, in a multi-year agreement. Bundesliga is one of the most recognised football leagues globally; therefore, it will be a great privilege to see the growing presence of the Betway brand at the Deutsche Bank Park stadium.
“With the team again qualifying for the Europa League, the Betway brand will receive exposure across the continent. We’re also looking forward to working closely with the club and delivering exciting content to their loyal fanbase.”
Axel Hellmann, the spokesman for the Board of Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG, added: “We are entering into a strategic partnership with Betway in a difficult phase, which makes it even more significant.
“Betway wants to expand its business not only throughout Germany but also in the Rhine-Main region in particular. We are pleased that we will make a positive contribution to Betway’s further growth with our emotions and brand strength around our club.”

In addition to the above, Betway has launched its new France-facing website Betway.fr in partnership with sportsbook provider Sportnco.
The launch of the new website allows players in France to wager on various sports and competitions, and the new Betway.fr website incorporates Sportnco’s Player Account Management (PAM) system.

The group will be a fantastic addition to the country’s online and mobile sports betting scene and brings a wealth of experience, know-how, and competitive spirit to the space.”
