The online gambling company PokerStars has announced a multi-year partnership with Formula One motor racing team Red Bull Racing. As a part of this deal, which will begin in the 2022 F1 season, PokerStars' logo will appear on the team’s cars and race suits.
Will the Partnership Bring Both Sides More Success?
“Following last year’s blockbuster Formula One season, I am delighted to kick off 2022 by announcing PokerStars as a new partner. In our sport, we see constant evolution, not only applied to the cars but also to new technologies that are focused on reaching the sport’s global fanbase to provide new and interactive experiences for them to enjoy.’’ mentioned Red Bull Racing team principal and chief executive Christian Horner.
Flutter International chief executive of Pokerstars Dan Taylor added: “Red Bull Racing is an ideal fit for PokerStars because it’s not just about what you offer fans and players but the ethos and vision behind how you offer it. Part of our vision for PokerStars is to create the world’s most epic casino, built on player experiences, giving our community moments they’ll never forget. Red Bull Racing’s phenomenal success is built on its bold, innovative, and passionate ethos, which has led to incredible success both on the track and in becoming one of the world’s most popular sports brands.’’

A few years back, the number 1 poker room globally added a sports section called ‘Betstars’, which, in 2021, was rebranded to Pokerstars Sports. To be honest, reviewing the sportsbook left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, being operated by the largest group in the world and holding several Tier 1 licenses means that as a site it can definitely be trusted. There are hundreds of markets available to choose from in football and basketball, alongside multiple special bets. I also find the Spin and Bet feature very intriguing, where you can improve your odds up to ten times. On the other hand, I found quite a few areas where the offering needs to be improved. The overall payout is below par, especially for football bettors. The absence of a Live Chat is notable and deposit limits are low. In addition, having to move your funds manually from poker to sports is a little annoying. All in all, the betting offering is not great. I would use it mainly as complementary to the poker section.
