Expanding Presence across Sports
The partnership deal with Fiorentina is the latest step of the brand’s international development, which saw so far Olybet team with two of the major leagues in the US to become the official betting partner of the NHL and NBA in the Baltic region.
In June, Olybet’s parent company Olympic Entertainment Group signed deal with the NHL to allow the professional hockey league to utilize Olybet’s presence at various establishments in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and gain further exposure in the region.
The NHL deal followed the blueprint of the sponsorship agreement Olympic Entertainment Group signed with the NBA in the summer of 2020, under which the professional basketball league designated Olybet as its official betting partner in the Baltics and Slovakia throughout the summer of 2022.
