The Rabbitohs will join a long list of teams that have partnered with Betezy which includes the Gold Coast Titans, Newcastle Knights and Cronulla Sharks.

The NRL approved the partnership and the new website set up for the Rabbitohs team will be called Bunnybet. The Rabbitohs will receive a six figure sponsorship from Betezy plus commissions from advertising. These commissions will be based on the turnover and will create revenue for the club.

The CEO of Rabbitohs, Shane Richardson commented on the partnership: “We’re delighted to be able to announce a new partnership with Betezy today. NRL Clubs are trying to bring new revenues into the game, and we feel that sports betting is going to be an increasing source of funding in Rugby League over the coming years.”

Richardson also stated that the Rabbitohs team was approached by several sports betting agencies and they decided that Betezy was the best choice for their team.
