Gbets signs partnership with Paarl Rocks cricket franchise

Cricket Boland today announced a partnership with Gbets, the sports betting subsidiary of the Goldrush Gaming Group as exclusive naming rights partner to its men’s professional cricket team. 

The Rocks is a world class cricket franchise hailing from the Boland region in the Western Cape. The franchise is filled to the brim with current and former Proteas’ internationals as well as developing talents that are sure to be household names soon.  

Angelo Carolissen, president of Cricket Boland said that the franchise is ecstatic to have Gbets on board: ‘’We have agreed to keep ‘The Rocks’ as the official name for the professional team across all formats of the game. This builds on the success of what we have achieved with the Paarl Rocks in recent years. We are also ecstatic to have Gbets on board as our partner, and effective immediately our team will be known as ‘Gbets Rocks’.

Director of Gbets Online, William Reyneke, said that the decision to sponsor the Paarl based side was an easy one: ‘’Sharing a vision of high motivation, integrity and success, Gbets is proud to partner with The Rocks. With both parties growing aggressively, our never-say-die attitude resonates strong among both brands. It was also essential for Gbets to join forces with a champion team that shares the vision of winning and success.’’

James Fortuin, Chief Executive of Cricket Boland added that the Gbets sponsorship marks a historic day for the franchise: “It is a historic day for cricket in the region. The Gbets sponsorship will go far in assisting us with our objectives to become a force in the ‘A’ division of the new domestic league structure in the country. We see this as a natural evolution of success of the Paarl Rocks and to deepen our relationship with our loyal fans across our region, nationally and internationally. Gbets, you have chosen the correct bet: Cricket Boland and Gbets Rocks!’’

Reyneke echoed these sentiments, stating that success is the core of the partnership: “Our vision of mutual benefit and commitment to our respective supporters and customers is very much a priority. It gives us great pride that the big names of Gbets Rocks will don their iconic gold and purple kit with Gbets at the forefront. We also believe the team-name of Gbets Rocks is truly fitting for both parties and indicative of a winning vision founded on legacy and success!”
