TORONTO, ON - - Canadian-based premium online sports betting, casino and free-to-play company BET99 and the National Hockey League (NHL®) today announced a new multi-year partnership naming BET99 an Official Partner of the NHL.

BET99 will partner with the NHL to launch their new Free-to-Play game called "NHL PrePlay", and fans in Canada can access it now at
www.nhl.com/NHLPrePlay
. Each game day during the NHL season, fans will be provided a set of predictive outcome-based questions. Questions will include "Who will win tonight's game?", as well as queries using NHL Edge (Puck & Player Tracking) data, such as "Which of these players will have the hardest shot?" Fans will be awarded points based on correct answers and the top points recipient for the 2022-23 NHL season will be crowned the Grand Prize winner and receive CA$100,000.
"NHL PrePlay" will include some of the most robust prizing the NHL has ever offered. Additional prizing includes NHL Shop gift cards, weekly ticket giveaways and a monthly trip giveaway to an NHL tentpole event (e.g., NHL Winter Classic®) of the winner's choice.

BET99 will also receive broadcast exposure for its various brands through Digitally Enhanced Dasherboards, the League's advanced approach to dynamic dasherboard advertising during U.S.-based NHL regular season and Stanley Cup® Playoffs games broadcast on Rogers Sportsnet throughout the agreement's term. The new agreement also provides an array of exclusive marketing rights and designations that will connect BET99's brands with NHL fans through the NHL's vast marketing, digital, and social media channels.
"This partnership is groundbreaking for Canadian hockey and sports fans," said Jared Beber, CEO of BET99. "NHL PrePlay will amplify fan engagement and excitement around NHL games, especially the prizes, which include access to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Designed to support our focus on education within the gaming space, the game offers opportunities for players to explore the space and become more knowledgeable without making real-money wagers. Not only is the NHL PrePlay program innovative and a great access point for new and potential bettors, but the educational aspect also fits well with our focus on responsible gaming. We'll also leverage our partnership with NHL star Auston Matthews, taking this agreement to the next level."
"We're thrilled to partner with BET99 and to promote BET99.ca and BET99.net on this unique and innovative Free-To-Play platform," said Jason Jazayeri, NHL Vice President, Business Development. "This collaborative partnership has allowed us to create an entirely new Free-to-Play game that will focus on delivering a fun and immersive game to our fans, while also providing a level of access and prizing that we haven't seen before in our sport."
As a leading Canadian online sports betting, casino and free-to-play company, BET99 understands the importance of responsible gambling and offers a range of tools, tips and support options to ensure that players are educated on responsible gambling practices and engage in sensible and safe game play.
