Team Bottcher, the newly-formed curling team, has named PointsBet Canada as its official sports betting partner for the upcoming Olympic quadrennial.
Ben Hebert, Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant and Brendan Bottcher bring together past national and Olympic champions for the 2023-2026 Olympic run.
Chief Commercial Officer Nic Sulsky at PointsBet Canada commented: "It was a no-brainer to partner with players who have not only won before on the national stage, but also internationally at the World Championships and Olympics."
Bottcher, the captain of the team said: "We’re thrilled to be partnering with PointsBet Canada. Having a world-class operator like PointsBet Canada on our team will not only help us in our pursuit of championships, but also help us connect in innovative ways with our nation’s curling fans."
PointsBet is a corporate bookmaker listed on the Australian Stock Exchange with operations in Australia, the United States, Canada and Ireland. The bookmaker has its Canadian base of operations located in Toronto.
Hebert added: "From day one, PointsBet Canada has been a supporter of curling in Canada. From their partnership with Curling Canada, the upcoming PointsBet Invitational, or sponsorship of individual teams, no sportsbook has shown a commitment to our sport like PointsBet Canada."
The CEO of PointsBet Canada, Scott Vanderwel said: "As one of the few locally based Canadian companies, we know how important it is for our industry to not only engage fans, but grow grassroot participants."
He continued: "We are excited about our long-term partnership with Curling Canada and Team Bottcher as it will help us to continue our pursuit of growing the game of curling."
This is just another of many recent partnerships between PointsBet Canada and Canadian sports.
