"Alpine Canada is thrilled to welcome PointsBet to the ACA corporate family. They are a true Canadian operator in an exciting emerging space, and their support of athletes and the ski community in Canada is a wonderful reflection of that," said Therese Brisson, Alpine Canada's CEO and President.
ACA recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and has long been the home for elite ski racing in Canada; it supported several Olympic, Paralympic, World Cup, World Championship as well as X Games winners.
Founded in the Australian mature sports wagering market, PointsBet is an online gaming and sports betting operator in the US. Licensed within Australia, the United States, Canada, and Ireland, it is working towards expansion with a potential launch date of PointsBet Canada.
"PointsBet Canada is committed to bringing our nation's fans gold medal experiences, and we are excited to be partnering with our world-class Canadian skiers as they follow their dreams and represent our great country on the world stage," commented Scott Vanderwel, PointsBet Canada CEO.
"It was important for ACA to partner with an operator that had a stellar track record as a safe, legal market operator.
"As Alpine Canada was considering a sportsbook partnership, we made it a priority that they be Canadian-based and completely committed to safe, legal, responsible gaming and PointsBet Canada checked all of the boxes," said Mags Doehler, VP Partnerships and Marketing at Alpine Canada.
