The University of Maryland on Wednesday announced a new multi-year deal with sportsbook PointsBet, the latest partnership between an NCAA program and a bookmaker and the first for a Big Ten school.
As part of the agreement, PointsBet signage will appear in and around XFINITY Center and Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium. The sportsbook will provide education on responsible gambling to university staff, students and fans. The partnership also will include a philanthropic component that will be announced at a later date.
Financial details were not disclosed, but a source familiar with the partnership said it is a “seven-figure deal.”
