Betway’s US expansion

This is not the first NBA team Betway has teamed up with. The firm now has deals with more than eight other NBA teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and the Chicago Bulls. Betway also has relationships with franchises and organizations in other major sports, such as the New York Islanders, the NHL, NBA, and the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Betway has gradually expanded its reach across the US. It now has online sportsbooks live in New Jersey, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. To help with its expansion, Betway’s parent company began trading last month on the New York Stock Exchange. Super Group completed a reverse merger with a special purpose acquisition company to go public.

In addition to Betway, Super Group also owns a multi-brand online casino offering called Spin. The group has licenses to operate in more than 20 jurisdictions.
