Betfair Secure Naming Rights To Wentworth Park Gold Cup
Hot on the heels of the rich sponsorship agreement between leading Australian bookmaker Centrebet and the NSW GBOTA, the NSW Greyhound Breeders, Owners and Trainers Association have today announced that betting exchange Betfair will receive prominent signage and sponsorship of the Group 2 Wentworth Park Gold Cup.
Betfair and NSW GBOTA officials will mark the start of the partnership on Saturday night, with the unveiling of feature signage and presentation to the winner of the Betfair.com Stakes.
Association Chairman, Geoff Rose said the announcement of the Betfair agreement marked an exciting week in the GBOTA's year, following other sponsorship deals concluded earlier in the week.
“Betfair are a progressive wagering entity and we have great delight in welcoming them on board as the Group 2 Gold Cup sponsor,” Rose said.
NSW GBOTA Executive Officer, Brenton Scott, stated that the agreement cemented Betfair's position as Wentworth Park's betting exchange partner.
“We are confident that the relationship with Betfair will complement those in place with other wagering operators,” said Scott.
“The wagering market place now irreversibly includes traditional TABs, corporate bookmakers and betting exchanges.
Betfair's Media and Communication Manager Hugh Taggart, believes the sponsorship agreement will only serve to increase the exposure of the outstanding greyhound product already on display in NSW.
