Bundesliga’s Hoffenheim takes a punt on Tipico renewal

German Bundesliga football team TSG Hoffenheim has agreed a four-year extension to its partnership with betting provider Tipico.

Tipico has been a premium business partner and official betting partner of Hoffenheim since 2010 and the new terms contain the option of extending for an additional season. Financial details were not disclosed, but the new contract commences from the 2014-15 campaign.

Tipico, which was one of the first private betting companies to obtain a license in Hoffenheim’s Schleswig-Holstein locality, will continue to collaborate with the club on promotions such as the recent ‘Tipico Golden Ball’.

Hoffenheim concluded the 2013-14 Bundesliga season with a ninth-place finish.
