Bwin.party Extends MotoGP Sponsorship

Bwin.party and MotoGP World Championship have extended their relationship, with the online gambling operator to continue sponsoring the event and providing online betting on all races.

Two more years

Bwin.party has sponsored the MotoGP World Championship since 2004, and will continue to back the world's biggest motorbike racing series for another two years. Under the new agreement, bwin will be title sponsor for the Czech and Spanish grand prix races and will have a highly visible presence at other races.

MotoGP is particularly relevant for bwin because its motorcycle races are popular in Italy and Spain, two of the large regulated markets on which the company is focusing. As bwin.party CEO Norbert Teufelberger pointed out, "MotoGP is one of the most exciting sports in the world and is a perfect fit for the bwin brand."
