We are proud to be associated with the 76ers franchise as they kick off what I’m sure will be a successful 2019-20 season.”

“FOX Bet has masterfully honed its unique brand positioning in the US; an experienced, longstanding European sportsbook, a savvy media company, and now an affiliation with the 76ers that further endears its brand and product to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey market and sports community,” said Adam Davis, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment Chief Commercial Officer. “Recognizing the passionate 76ers fan base, FOX Bet and our team look forward to amplifying a multi-tiered activation approach by creating dynamic, digital content and continuing to drive engagement with our brand, team and league.”
In celebration of the agreement, FOX Bet customers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will see special offers and promotions in the early part of this NBA season.
