Betway backs Grand National

Online bookmaker Betway has signed up as the official betting partner of the UK’s Grand National Festival at Aintree.

The deal will run for three years, from 2017 to 2019, and is worth “seven figures,” according to Betway – or at least £1m (€1.2m/$1.3m).

The horse-racing festival will take place from April 6-8 this year.

Betway, which is an authorised betting partner of the British Horseracing Association, also sponsors the Champion Chase at the UK’s Cheltenham Festival.
