It’s official – The betr sports betting brand is live and has launched into the Australian betting market.
Matt Tripp leads betr and the ownership consortium, including News Corp Australia, Las Vegas-based Tekkorp Capital, and ASX-listed BetMakers Technology Group.
We believe the betting agency and media organisation partnership will quickly prove to be a formidable brand in the Australian market.
In the UK, Sky BET has shown the way with its ownership of the media and betting brand. Similarly, in the USA, FOX Bet and FOX are forging a similar path. NBC Sports also has announced a partnership with Pointsbet to a similar effect.
What does that mean for the “other” Australian betting sites like Sportsbet? Time will tell. However, you can be sure advertising will get much harder if the media brands also own their own betting agency.
This could kick off an arms race for media organisations and betting brands to team up and leverage each other’s exclusivity.
