BigPlay teams up with Tipico in Ohio, commencing their collaborative venture
In a strategic move to expand its presence in the North American market, global sportsbook operator Tipico has formed a partnership with Cleveland-based sports and entertainment network, BigPlay.
BigPlay, known for its coverage of local sports teams, is a fast-growing sports media company that produces content around football, basketball, and baseball. The partnership is expected to create a popular spot for high-profile sports personalities and athletes at the BigPlay VIP Player Lounge and Studio at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland.
The first legal sports bet on the Tipico platform in Ohio was placed at midnight on January 1, 2023, by Cleveland football legend and BigPlay host, Bernie Kosar. Kosar, a Super Bowl XXVIII winner and college football national champion, made a $19,000 moneyline bet on the Cleveland Browns to win their Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
David Paschkes, Chief Commercial Officer of Tipico North America, stated that the partnership with BigPlay is a "natural extension" of the company's goal to reach impassioned fan bases in Ohio. Dave McAllester, Founder of BigPlay, added that the partnership will provide Ohio sports fans with "unparalleled action" in the future.
Tipico offers a range of online and retail sports betting and gaming options to customers worldwide. The company aims to establish itself as a major player in the North American market and to establish a successful and long-lasting presence in the state of Ohio through its partnership with BigPlay.
BigPlay's live shows and streaming programs, which feature high-profile sports personalities and athletes, are also part of the partnership. This collaboration is set to revolutionise the sports betting landscape in Ohio, potentially influencing the market's growth and engagement. However, for precise details on the partnership and its market impact, more specific and current information would be needed.
- The partnership between Tipico and BigPlay may extend to include casino-games, as Tipico offers a variety of online and retail sports betting and gaming options to customers worldwide.
- With the integration of Tipico's sports-betting platform, BigPlay VIP Player Lounge and Studio at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland is poised to become a hub for not only high-profile sports personalities and athletes, but also casino-and-gambling enthusiasts.
- The upcoming integration of sports-betting, entertainment, and casino-games options into BigPlay's live shows and streaming programs could potentially popularize football, basketball, and baseball, even further, in Ohio's growing sports market.
