PointsBet has scaled its operations and is today recognized as an online premier gaming provider with operations in multiple locations around the world. In a recent announcement, the giant gambling operator revealed that it had forged a partnership with Notah Begay III. Begay’s role in the PointsBet business will be to act as a link between the partners of the betting services provider and the management.
The partners being targeted in this initiative are GOLF Channel and NBC Sports through an extended collaboration with NB3 Foundation. In his role as a brand ambassador for PointBet betting, Begay will support various company initiatives running in various tribal communities. The responsibility that lies ahead of Begay will be integrated into the company’s long term quest to position itself as a sportsbook of choice for golf game gamblers.
As part of his official duties, Begay will offer consultation to PointBet management in matters of gold offerings appearing on the betting app. His experience in the golf world also makes him an expert digital content creator on the sport.
For PointsBet customers looking forward to an online golf experience, Begay’s presence is a demonstration of the company’s commitment to popularizing golf. Fans of golf now have an opportunity to indulge in their favorite sport at their own convenience. For those who could use some insight into various players or golf games, Begay and his team will ensure up-to-date insight is available on the site.
Judging from the other partnerships that PointsBet has with key players in the golf world, there is no doubt that the betting giant is living up to its goal of growing into and beyond regular sports. Some of the organizations that PointsBet has partnered with to grow golf are GolfPass, GolfNow, PGA TOUR, Rocket Mortgage Classic, TPC Colorado Championship and various local golf groups around the country.
What we cover
What does it mean to partner with NB3?
The collaboration Begay by extension means that PointsBet will also be in partnership with NB3 Foundation. This alliance offers a rare opportunity to the NJ betting operator that will allow its impact to be felt among communities of Native American descendants throughout the country.
Before PointsBet, the NB3 Foundation under the leadership of Begay has been instrumental in shaping the lives of native children living in the United States. By offering support to programs designed to promote the cultural heritage of indigenous communities, NB3 has been actively involved in bringing up an active and healthy generation of native children.
Weighing in on the news of the appointment of Notah Begay III as the new brand ambassador of PointsBet, the CEO of PointsBet operations in the US, Johnny Aitken, expressed his excitement in partnering with the golf pro. He is optimistic that partnering with Notah is a great step in achieving PointsBet’s goal of building capacity in the sport. From his statement, it is obvious that Notah is incredibly knowledgeable in golf matters. This, coupled with the fact that Notah has over the years built strong working relationships around the country is going to be an asset that PointBet will definitely leverage.
Ultimately, the management of PointsBet is working towards the organic growth of the company into a premier sportsbook that can be used by golfers regardless of their location. Aitken is confident that the extended association of his betting outfit with the operations of NB3 Foundation offers a genuine platform for the betting operator to serve the native community.
Many gambling operators are guilty of taking from the communities in which they operate without much consideration for giving back. The current initiative with NB3 changes this narrative for PointsBet. Actually, this is a model of the operations that the betting operator has in New Jersey and other vibrant communities in other states that they are setting for others to emulate.
Who is Notah Begay III?
Golf enthusiasts may have already come across this name in golf tournaments and most recently for his role as a golf analyst. His participation in the PGA TOUR as a player stands out because he was the only full blooded Native American in that capacity.
He earned a spot in professional golf history books for shooting a 59 in a golf event that had been sanctioned by PGA TOUR. If you thought you might have seen his face around Stanford, you are probably right; he graduated from the university in 1995.
Notah is particularly elated that PointsBet is taking golf seriously enough to consider adding it in its sportsbook offerings. He appreciates the management of the betting services provider for expressing deep insight into the unique nature of the sport. Golf is a game of values that can only be upheld when there is collaboration between the players, organizers and the community at large.
This new venture offers a new hope for Begay and Native American communities spread out in various states in the United States. The professional sportsman turned analyst anticipates the creation of worthy interactions between communities and betting organizations as a result of such associations.
Final Thoughts
PointsBet has been in the news many times for its efforts in promoting responsible gaming. Apart from offering support to those that feel directly affected, the company has been preaching awareness to empower those that have not yet fallen victim. With people like Begay in such close proximity to the executive management of the betting operator, the company has an advantage as far as tackling problem gambling is concerned.
In addition to marketing the brand in line with his role, Begay will also offer consultancy to PointsBet in matters concerning golf integrity; Begay knows what the best practices are and PointsBet will mop up this knowledge to pull in golf stakeholders. Using its position as the exclusive official sports betting partner of NBC Sports, PointsBet has a giant premium media platform for promoting its activities. Part of the agreement with NBC, PointsBet gets marketing slots all year round on all platforms linked to NBC Sports.
