A well-known betting company, Betfred, has reiterated its dedication to the Super League, the top rugby league competition in the UK and Europe. The organization’s association with the league, which started in 2017, is scheduled to last for a further three years. The partnership has grown over time to include Challenge Cup, English national wheelchair rugby teams, and both men’s and women’s wheelchair rugby.
The Super League and Betfred have an expanded partnership that includes a 25% increase in sponsorship. Additionally, the alliance launches a ground-breaking project: a custom full-size pitch covering for wheelchair rugby league. Following its debut in the Wheelchair Super League Grand Final in Manchester later this month, this specially created pitch covering will be used for the World Cup final between England and France in Leeds.
Betfred and the Rugby Football League will continue to work together to encourage responsible gambling among rugby players in addition to their sponsorship agreement. The reaffirmed relationship emphasizes the significance of ethical sports sponsorship while taking into account the principles of the just recently adopted Sports Sponsorship Code.
The managing director of RL Commercial, Rhodri Jones, emphasized the importance of this alliance for the rugby industry. According to him, Betfred and the Super League share a lot of ideals, which helps the relationship work well. Jones also recognized Betfred for its unwavering support, which has been essential to the league’s resiliency through trying times.
Jones underlined that the novel Wheelchair Rugby League playing surface offers exciting potential for the sport’s expansion, building on the success attained during the World Cup the previous year. It provides as a concrete illustration of Betfred’s dedication to Rugby League at all levels.
Fred Done, the founder and chairman of Betfred, lauded the alliance and claimed that it is one of the business’s most fruitful alliances. He praised rugby for its commitment to diversity and desire to be one of the world’s most inclusive sports. Done expressed his happiness at supplying the new Wheelchair Rugby League pitch covering and at helping to further the sport’s attempts to become more inclusive. Betfred is still a committed partner in promoting rugby in all of its forms, including wheelchair rugby, women’s rugby, and men’s rugby.
As long as this agreement exists, Betfred will continue to support the Super League and the rugby community as a whole.
