US.- Betfred has signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with the Iowa Wild American Hockey League Team. The deal includes marketing opportunities in digital, print, radio, and TV as well as on gamedays within Wells Fargo Arena.

Iowa Wild fans will be able to participate in actions for new giveaways including suite sweepstakes, ticket giveaways, and exclusive merchandise for the 2022-2023 hockey season.

Bryan Bennett, chief operating officer of Betfred, said: “We’re extremely proud of our partnership with the Iowa Wild and are excited to be part of the expansive American Hockey League community. We recently launched our new betting app in Iowa, and we knew this would be an amazing opportunity to continue investing in the state. We look forward to getting started and providing Wild fans an engaging experience for the upcoming season.”

Brent Arnold, senior director of sales, of the Iowa Wild, added: “We are excited to announce Betfred as our exclusive partner in the Sportsbook category. We look forward to the tremendous addition Betfred will bring to our Iowa Wild fan experience.”
