myBet.com unveiled as new partner of Germany national handball team
Kiel, March 24, 2011 - myBet.com, the sports betting portal of the
Kiel-based financial holding company JAXX SE, is the new official partner
of the German Handball Federation (DHB). As sponsor of the national team,
myBet will be demonstrating its support through its presence at all home
games of Germany's handball teams. The partnership was kicked off at the
European Championship qualifier against Iceland on March 13 in Halle,
Westphalia. The sponsorship deal covers all games of the national team up
until the end of 2012; the next match is on April 16 in Rostock, against
Norway.
One particularly eye-catching feature of the partnership will be the
myBet.com logo on the floors of the playing areas on which Heiner Brand's
team will be challenging for honours. myBet.com will also be visible on
perimeter bands, on the sponsors' boards at the press conferences and in
the VIP lounges at the match venues.
'Handball is an extremely exciting sport that depends more than most on
power, stamina, inspiration and speed, and it creates a fantastic
atmosphere. Attributes that are a perfect fit for myBet.com,' explained
Mathias Dahms, Management Board spokesman of JAXX SE. 'And the Germany
national handball team enjoys an exceptionally good reputation. We are
looking forward to this partnership generating a further boost to the image
and recognition rating of myBet.com, which is already one of the most
popular brands in the sports betting world.'
For JAXX SE, myBet.com is the main building block of its strategy of
expansion. Against the backdrop of the sports betting market's impending
liberalisation in Germany, JAXX aims to give myBet.com's brand recognition
a major boost and quadruple the number of users.
