win2day is the Erste Bank Open’s new premium sponsor
With the expansion of Fairplay Sponsoring to include Austria’s most important tennis tournament, the Austrian Lotteries gaming site is bringing wheelchair tennis to the big league.
win2day is Austrian Lotteries’ gaming site and the only licensed provider of online gaming in Austria. As ÖTV’s main sponsor since 2023, the next step is to become a premium sponsor of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna starting in 2024. This commitment to the ATP 500 category tournament supports the country’s most important tennis event.
Long live Fairplay for all: with win2day’s sponsorship, this is the first time that wheelchair tennis will be included in the tournament. win2day will make additional wheelchair-accessible stands available on the qualifying weekend, at the exhibition tournament as well as on the Main Court in the Stadthalle arena. This ensures an equal appreciation for non-disabled and wheelchair-using tennis professionals and fans. In the run-up to the event, win2day will also be giving away hundreds of free tickets.
“Since last year, Austrian tennis and win2day have been a perfect match,” says Georg Wawer, Managing Director of win2day. The brand is already the main sponsor of the win2day ÖTV State Championships, the win2day ÖTV Wheelchair Tennis State Championships and the win2day Tennis Bundesliga. “This partnership for Austria’s biggest and most important tournament is an absolute highlight for us. Thanks to win2day and Austrian Lotteries, wheelchair-using tennis professionals are now also getting the visibility they deserve,” Wawer adds.
“We’re delighted that we’ve been able to strengthen our sponsorship portfolio with win2day as a very competent partner. This is an additional confirmation of the positive and sustainable development of the Erste Bank Open into one of the most successful sporting events in the country. This commitment also extends the content of the tournament, which is particularly important to us. In this context, the integration of wheelchair tennis plays a particularly important role,” Herwig Straka, Tournament Director of the Erste Bank Open, emphasises.
The co-operation was agreed for several years into the future. The 2024 Erste Bank Open will take place at Vienna’s Stadthalle and Heumarkt from October 19 to 27.
win2day is the main sponsor of Austrian ice hockey, basketball, beach volleyball, tennis, table tennis and American football. Fair play as an attitude is the top priority: women’s, men’s and disabled sports are always supported with the same level of appreciation.
