Betcenter Launches Affiliate Programme with Income Access

Montreal, QC. 7 th November 2016 – Betcenter, the Belgian retail and online sportsbook operator, has announced the launch of a new affiliate programme for the company’s online sports-betting brand in partnership with Income Access, the iGaming-focused marketing software provider and part of Paysafe Group. The programme will be managed using the affiliate management software of Income Access.

Founded as a retail sports-betting operation in 2005, the Betcenter online sportsbook was launched in 2014 and holds a license from the Belgian Gaming Commission. The brand offers players a wide range of classic sports-betting options, such as tennis, football, basketball and hockey. Betcenter also features live-betting functionality for wagering on matches as they happen. The platform is mobile-responsive and offers players both iOS and Android apps. In addition to its cross-device approach, the brand supports a wide range of languages, including English, Dutch, French, German and Turkish.

Betcenter offers players an ongoing 100% welcome bonus of up to €100 on the first deposit, a bonus programme offering up to 30% on top of regular winnings, and a member card programme that includes free bets and withdrawal privileges at the operator’s more than 150 Belgian retail betting shops.

The launch of the Betcenter affiliate programme, which will be powered by the Income Access platform, allows European affiliates to promote the brand. The programme features a revenue share commission structure of up to 35%, depending on the number of depositing players affiliates refer.

“It is written in our corporate DNA to look for strong long-term, cooperative partnerships, and the affiliate channel and our partnership with Income Access lets us do just that,” said Wim Cox, Online Director at Betcenter. “With the dedicated technology support of Income Access, the contribution of the affiliate channel to our sportsbook will be win-win for our brand, helping us increase our market share.”

The programme will be managed by Betcenter’s in-house team of affiliate managers, who are committed to supporting affiliates to develop tailor-made campaigns for individual success.

“We’re excited to launch Betcenter’s affiliate programme on our software,” said Nicky Senyard, Managing Director of Income Access. “Given its strong retail presence and brand name recognition in Belgium, Betcenter offers a significant opportunity to sports-betting affiliates focusing on the European market.”

“There are a ton of users for fantasy but they’re already fans of the sport,” Solosky said. “It’s hard to convert a fantasy football fan to NASCAR, but you can do it with football betting with something like BetMGM, which has other types of betting.”

Nascar Enhances Sports Betting Program Heading Into The 2022 Season

Nascar is taking drastic steps entering the 2022 Cup Series season in order to maneuver itself as a national leader in sports betting.

With DraftKings and BetMGM already sponsoring Bubba Wallace and Richard Childress Racing, respectively, it is a sign of a changing ecosystem in the world of Nascar.

The sanctioning body is determined to continue its uptick when it comes to sports betting after becoming the first league to partner with American Gaming Association in September 2020. Not only is Nascar implementing new ways for fans to bet on races, but the sport’s leadership is making sure it won’t hurt the integrity of stock car racing.

“Nascar partnered with the American Gaming Association and any betting issues we have, we work with them with limits and any other gambling things,” Joe Solosky, Nascar’s managing director of sports betting, said. “On the integrity side, we don’t want to compromise our integrity. The garage access could potentially expose the sport and we’ve seen this happen in other sports where athletes get in trouble.”

Solosky’s team often meets with Nascar’s stakeholders, including drivers, team owners and race officials, to discuss the ever-changing world of sports betting. Thanks to a partnership with Sportradar’s Integrity Services, everyone who works in the sport must participate in a tutorial about race fixing and sports betting before taking a quiz about what you can and can’t bet on.

As of December 2021, more than two dozen states and Washington, D.C. have legalized online sports betting, with rules for participation varying per state. Ohio and Massachusetts have pending legislation that may soon make it legal to participate in sports betting, creating an even larger market.

The Good, Bad And Ugly From The Green Bay Packers’ Win Over The San Francisco 49ers

In September, New Jersey became the first state to surpass $1 billion in sports betting, and that number is only expected to increase.

“I think Nascar is not alone in this in that all of the leagues see it as a way to monetize and grow the sport,” Solosky said. “There aren’t a lot of people who have this experience and we’re demystifying it at the league level.”

With a booming market, Nascar believes this is a unique way to convert people to become fans of stock car racing. Unlike fantasy sports, which is a market in itself, the people who participate in sports betting and aren’t familiar with the sport may go from being a casual fan to a die-hard fan.

“There are a ton of users for fantasy but they’re already fans of the sport,” Solosky said. “It’s hard to convert a fantasy football fan to NASCAR, but you can do it with football betting with something like BetMGM, which has other types of betting.”

In October, Fubo Sportsbook became the fourth authorized gaming operator of Nascar, joining BetMGM, Penn Interactive and WynnBET.

Among the enhancements for Nascar’s sports betting program is a redesigned Nascar BetCenter from The Action Network, which includes unique content creation.

“We’re thrilled to renew and expand our partnership with Nascar,” Chad Millman, chief content officer from The Action Network, said. “They’ve been at the forefront of bringing innovative content and gaming options to fans for several years, reminding everyone that the rush of betting races is the perfect complement to watching them.”

Looking ahead to 2022, Nascar is working with Genius Sports on how the sanctioning body can help reshape the way the sport is wagered on.

Over the offseason, Nascar is working with Genius to explore the possibility of creating feature matchups and different types of betting (over/under, spread betting). With the Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Coliseum rapidly approaching on Sunday, Feb. 5, Nascar believes this will be a unique event that enables more distinct betting opportunities for fans through heat races.

“2022 is a big year for us because it’s the first year we’ll have an apples-to-apples comparison,” Solosky said. “We’ll have all of our partners for the whole season and we’re going to activate some tracks.”

With 87 outlets (70 betting shops and 17 kiosks) as well as a comprehensive online sports betting offering, Betcenter is the second-largest sports betting provider and agent in Belgium. The company was established in 2005 and today has 150 employees.

Merkur Sportwetten backs Belgium

With retroactive effect to 1 January 2020, Merkur Sportwetten GmbH, a subsidiary of the Gauselmann Group, has increased its holding in the Belgian sports betting company Betcenter Group NV from 50.1% to 74.9%. After the partial sale, Seydi Tekin will remain the managing partner of Betcenter for the long term; Carsten Schaudienst will continue to be active as a board member.

Business relations have existed between Merkur Sportwetten and Betcenter for approximately four years. The Belgian company has been using products of Cashpoint Malta, a subsidiary of the Gauselmann Group, in its sports betting shops since 2016. Merkur Sportwetten purchased a share of 50.1% of Betcenter at the beginning of 2018. This holding has now been increased by 24.8%. It has been agreed that the purchase price shall not be disclosed. The partnership will also be visible in terms of external image: In future, the MERKUR sun will shine alongside the Betcenter company logo.

Seydi Tekin

“In 2018, we decided to sell part of our business in order to be able to further expand our business activities in Belgium and grow more strongly as a company. We found an ideal partner in Merkur Sportwetten, which supports us as a technology partner for system bets as well as financially. The partnership quickly brought benefits and we were able to double our turnover in the past two years”, explained Seydi Tekin.

Markus Ettlin

“Together, we want to increase the already large footprint of Merkur Sportwetten under the Betcenter brand in Belgium. In line with this, we will further extend the omnichannel product offering (physical as well as online) in the coming months”, announced Markus Ettlin, Managing Director of Merkur Sportwetten.

With 87 outlets (70 betting shops and 17 kiosks) as well as a comprehensive online sports betting offering, Betcenter is the second-largest sports betting provider and agent in Belgium. The company was established in 2005 and today has 150 employees.

Merkur Sportwetten GmbH is a subsidiary of the Gauselmann Group and joins together the Group’s entire sports betting business. This includes the betting operator Cashpoint Malta as well as the sports betting brands XTiP (Germany), Cashpoint (Austria and Denmark), Betcenter (Belgium) and Totolotek (Poland).

The Gauselmann Group, which was established in 1957 and has its headquarters in Espelkamp (Germany), is an internationally operating, family-run business in the entertainment and leisure industry. It develops, produces and distributes slot machines as well as the associated games, operates the well-known MERKUR Casino chain in Germany and abroad and is a licence holder for the operation of state-owned casinos. Furthermore, the Group is active in the areas of sports betting and online gaming.
