Betway encourages South Africans to support the Boks

Betway invited South Africans to get their names behind the Boks on May 27. When the Springboks played against the Barbarians in Gqeberha on June 20, they carried not only the hopes of a nation but also the names of 23 selected fans on their shorts. This initiative, in partnership with Betway, replaced the brand's logo on the back of the shorts to honor everyday supporters. Jason Shield, Head of Sponsorship at Betway Africa, expressed the significance of fans in every tackle, trial, and victory, stating that this initiative provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to see their names alongside the Springboks. Supporters entered the competition by visiting www.behindeverybok.co.za and sharing their personalized preview on social media using #BehindEveryBok. Rian Oberholzer, CEO of SA Rugby, emphasized the importance of fans in the team's journey and how this unique initiative recognizes their passion. The winners had the chance to experience a special moment in Gqeberha alongside Betway Squad campaign captain Jean de Villiers during match week. The entries for this opportunity were officially open, with a closing date set for June 11, 2026.
