The price of the agreement was not specifically revealed, but it became clear that the deal was a six-figure one.
The Director of Marketing and Operations at Betway Anthony Werkman commented on the deal and shared that the UK-based sports betting operator had been very glad with the agreement, especially considering the fact that the company was the first one to release a bespoke sports betting microsite in 2015. He also admitted that since then, the operator had made large investments as part of its strategy to expand its presence.
Mr. Werkman also explained that the British company had always been focused on providing its customers with high-quality services, so Betways had been looking for partners who shared the same point of view, values and ideals.
