The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s (OLG) Proline+ brand has been named as the official sports betting partner of Real Sports (RS).
Owned by Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment (MLSE), RS is located beside Scotiabank Arena, in the heart of Toronto’s sports and entertainment district, with the aim of enhancing the fan experience.
Proline+’s partnership with RS kicks off this Sunday, Jan 29, with an exclusive fan experience at the venue – home of Toronto’s largest screen and 100-foot bar – during the NFL Conference Championships.
Dave Pridmore, OLG’s Chief Gaming Officer, commented: “Proline+’s partnership with MLSE will create memorable moments and interactive experiences for sports fans.
“The combination of these two trusted brands will allow fans to get ‘closer to the action’ and interact with their favourite teams in new, exciting ways.”
Fans attending the event will have the opportunity to win NFL apparel and other Proline+ prizes, meet NFL Alumni players, and get up ‘close and personal’ with the real Vince Lombardi Trophy.
This latest deal is one of several sports betting agreements clinched by the OLG brand over the past six months, with the NBA and MLB also getting onboard in Ontario.
Jordan Vader, Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships at MLSE, added: “As an organisation that takes pride in delivering best-in-class fan experiences, we value the power of collaboration with partners that share this passion.
“Whether it be in the home of their favourite Toronto sports team or at their go-to restaurant for the game, we look forward to working with Proline+ to creating unique and unforgettable moments for our fans.”
