Betr, founded by sports betting veteran Joey Levy and media mogul Jake Paul, is the first direct-to-consumer micro-betting focused sports betting company which has also launched a new media venture for the next generation of sports fans, highlighted by Paul’s weekly show with top athletes.

As part of the agreement, HOFV gains limited equity interest in Betr, revenue sharing, and the partnership incorporates opportunities for cross-marketing, branding, and engagement with consumers of both companies.

Betr will be powered by micro-betting technology industry leader Simplebet, where Levy previously served as co-founder.

Betr will focus predominantly on micro-betting, a growing form of betting that introduces instant gratification to the user’s experience by enabling the moments that drive U.S. sports consumption – such as pitches and at-bats of baseball games and plays and drives of football games – to become discrete betting opportunities, as well as simplifying the user experience.

“This partnership amplifies two of our key business verticals in gaming and media to further our strategic goal of continually creating new and unique sports content and experiences for our fans and guests to enjoy,” said Michael Crawford, HOFV President and CEO. “Betr positions our company to obtain the necessary licenses to make a dramatic impact in the mobile betting space and will drive meaningful value for our stakeholders.”

Betr CEO Joey Levy stated, “We are excited to partner with HOFV on launching the world’s first micro-betting focused app in Ohio. Our differentiated product, combined with our sports media company built for the next generation of sports fans along with HOFV’s strengths and access to unique content experiences in Ohio and throughout the country makes us confident this will be a successful partnership. We are also pleased HOFV has taken an equity position in Betr as part of this agreement – enabling us to preserve cash while providing HOFV upside in Betr’s success. We are grateful for HOFV’s belief in our company’s vision and are looking forward to introducing something different to this indus
