Online betting and gaming brand, Betway, recently launched its first US marketing campaign, “For the Sport of It.” The campaign features a 50-second spot that attempts to highlight the sense of community betting creates around a sport, making the fandom more crucial than actually winning the game. Created in partnership with full-service agency, Deutsch New York, “For the Sport of It” will run across film, paid social, digital and Out-of-Home.
