Brees, who this season is transitioning from signal caller to a broadcasting career with NBC Sports, PointsBet’s official sports betting partner, will deepen the NBC Sports and PointsBet relationship as he forays into the sports betting landscape to contribute as a PointsBet global brand ambassador while the company continues to expand and realize the growing online gaming opportunity in 2021 and beyond.

“Today is a massive day for our company as we welcome Drew Brees into the PointsBet family,” said Johnny Aitken, PointsBet USA CEO. “Drew is renowned for his tireless work ethic and achieved great success in his career regardless of the obstacles in front of him, possessing the scrappy, well-prepared challenger, win-at-all-costs mentality that embodies PointsBet’s DNA. We look forward to collaborating for years to come and integrating Drew across our portfolio to complement PointsBet’s market-leading technology infrastructure and strategic approach to the competitive sports betting space.”

As part of the exclusive, multi-year relationship, Brees will also become a significant PointsBet shareholder, taking an equity stake in the company to further illustrate the shared vision.
