PointsBet Canada and the Trailer Park Boys on Friday unveiled an exclusive partnership that will see PointsBet go where no other sportsbook has gone before – Sunnyvale Trailer Park.
The two parties said the multi-year deal will include authentic content collaboration appearing on the Trailer Park Boys and PointsBet Canada-owned channels.
The Trailer Park Boys will be appearing in PointsBet’s advertising campaigns, activations and special VIP-style events.
In conjunction with the announcement of the new partnership, PointsBet Canada released a clip teasing the company’s first ad featuring the Trailer Park Boys, which consumers will see beginning Monday, January 17.
