Pro League Network signs deal with Birches Health
The PLN has signed a collaboration to increase access to responsible gaming resources.
US.- Pro League Network (PLN), a producer of live sports for sportsbook operators, has signed a deal with Birches Health, which focuses on increasing access to responsible gaming resources and problem gambling treatment. Birches Health will offer virtual support to PLN’s audience of over 500,000 subscribers.
The PLN audiences will have access to online solutions through direct integrations of interactive learning modules.
Pro League Network co-founder and partner, Mike Salvaris, said: “We strongly believe in responsible gaming and this is another important step in that direction. We’re proud to partner with Birches Health and look forward to offering their support to our fans.”
Elliott Rapaport, founder of Birches Health, added: “Pro League Network’s audience includes a strong cohort of 18- to 34-year-old males, a demographic clinically proven to be more susceptible to at-risk gambling behaviors. Teaming up with PLN means we can provide users – at times new to these niche sports and betting opportunities – with educational resources, customized learning modules, and insurance-covered treatment, all to ensure we are reducing potential gambling harms together.”
