“After the success of last year’s edition and having felt the emotions that this Rally can handle, we felt the need to go further and give our customers the possibility of having a unique experience of participating and winning a Porsche 718 Spyder,” said João Vaz, BETWINNER PR Director.

OneLife Rally is an adrenaline kick with a good cause. It supports communities by being a role model, fighting against prejudice, engaging in charity, and most of all by inspiring people. Lottery and partnership with BETWINNER help to strengthen OneLife Rally’s efforts for empowering people and creating equal opportunities – for a better, shared future. “We want to give people hope and encourage everyone to follow their dreams and never give up,” adds OneLife Rally CEO, Nick Papis.

OneLife Rally 2021: Responsible entertainment

This year, the rally will take place from June 26 to July 3, having 7 stops – Istanbul, Sofia, Pristina, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Budapest, Prague.

What makes OneLife Rally special is that it is not fenced and each visitor can get close to the cars, take pictures next to them, and in some cases even sit inside. In this way, the organizers encourage young people to be creative and daring, break the stereotypes and social barriers. “We promise a lot of security due to the pandemic, but also a lot of spectacle, accelerations, and fun. We are creating memories that last and make life special – when driving becomes a philosophy,” says OneLife Rally CEO, Nick Papis.

BETWINNER family is happy to be a part of this fantastic event from the start line and through all pit stops in each city.

BETWINNER, on its part, commits to quality, striving to support various sporting events. Becoming OneLife Rally’s first exclusive bookmaker sponsor in 2020 was a great pride and joy for the team.

João Vaz, BETWINNER PR Director, says, “We are delighted to confirm our continued sponsorship of OneLife Rally. Over the past 12 months, we have built a genuinely positive partnership with OneLife Rally that has helped us extend our profile and brand exposure within the supercar fan segment. Our sponsorship of OneLifeRally has proved to be successful and beneficial for sports, business, and people. That’s why we gladly extend our partnership to 2021.”

During the OneLife Rally and beyond, BETWINNER offers a personal approach, easy payment methods, reliable payouts, quality content, and worthy odds. BETWINNER sportsbook includes over 1000 events daily and offers many interesting lines to bet.
