BVGroup Names Tracy McGrady as Safer Gambling Ambassador for BetVictor in Canada

BVGroup has announced that former NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady will take on the role of Safer Gambling Ambassador for its BetVictor brand in Canada. McGrady, widely recognized for his 16-year NBA career, including a season with the Toronto Raptors, will work to promote responsible gambling practices across the country.

Promoting Responsible Gambling in Canada

As a well-known figure, particularly in Toronto where he played during the 1999-2000 NBA season, McGrady’s involvement is aimed at raising awareness of responsible betting behaviors among BetVictor’s Canadian customers.

His role will emphasize the importance of safe and responsible gambling within the iGaming sector in Canada.

McGrady’s Statement on the Role

Speaking about his new position, McGrady said: “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’s Expanding Partnerships

Earlier in 2023, BetVictor expanded its sports partnerships, including becoming the official betting partner for British boxer Joe Joyce during his rematch against Zhilei Zhang.

The company continues to enhance its visibility in key markets, while prioritizing its commitment to responsible gaming initiatives.
