McGrady remains a popular figure in Canada, particularly in Toronto, where he played during the 1999-2000 NBA season. His involvement as Safer Gambling Ambassador aims to raise awareness of responsible betting behaviours among BetVictor's Canadian customers.
McGrady stated: “Safer gambling is an important issue across Canada and I look forward to helping to promote this message alongside BetVictor to encourage Canadian customers to bet and play safely and responsibly.”

BetVictor continues to increase its visibility across key markets while maintaining a focus on promoting responsible gaming practices.
