Bet-At-Home Extends Schalke Sponsorship

By GamblingKingz editorialPublished Updated

German Bundesliga football club FC Schalke 04 has announced the extension of its sponsorship deal with leading online gambling operator Bet-at-Home.com.

The Malta-listed group, which is owned and operated by the BetClic Everest Group, said it would extend its contract with the Bundesliga club for another two seasons.

Bet-at-Home will be the premium partner of Schalke 04 as the team heads to the UEFA Champions League, having secured automatic qualification by finishing third in the domestic table.

Bet-At-Home will remain the football club's chief sponsor until at least June 2014.

Klaus Gruber, Sponsorship Manager for Bet-At-Home.com, said of Bet-At-Home's extension of the Schalke sponsorship deal: "Our brand has worked with the best sports clubs in Europe for many years and FC Schalke 04, as one of the biggest football clubs in Germany, is a very attractive club for an international company like Bet-At-Home.com.

Schalke 04 and Bet-At-Home Well Suited

"The past year has shown that we are an ideal match because we can use our collective creativity," he said. "In the future, FC Schalke 04 will play an even more important role in all of our communications throughout Europe."

FC Schalke 04's Marketing Director, Alexander Jobst, said he was delighted to be working with one of the industry's leading providers in the online betting arena, and the team was delighted that the already very productive partnership had been extended at such an early stage.

"From FC Schalke 04's point of view, we also appreciate our future involvement in Bet-at-Home.com's Europe-wide advertising campaigns," he added. "It shows the emotional importance of our club.

Bet-at-Home Awarded German Gambling License

The sponsorship deal with the football club comes one month after Bet-at-Home was granted an online gaming license by the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.

The gaming license taxes companies 20% of their gross gaming profit and allows them to offer sports betting services to German players.

Recently, however, a new government was elected in Schleswig-Holstein that appears to be anti-online gambling, leaving Bet-At-Home and the other licensees such as Bwin and Bet365 questioning their future in the German state.

  • the licence an operator names, and its entry in the iGaming Ontario register when it has one
  • every offer against the terms the operator itself publishes
  • the cashier page for the methods, limits and fees it lists
  • provincial rules against the regulator’s own pages

A figure we cannot point at a source for does not go on the page, and the number out of ten beside a shortlist row is a position marker for that table — see how we rate. We do not hold player accounts, take deposits or pay out winnings.

Betting should stay a game

GamblingKingz is an independent Canadian casino and betting guide. We are not an operator and we take no bets. Every site here is checked for three things: whether it is registered with AGCO and iGaming Ontario or holds only an offshore licence, whether it keeps balances in Canadian dollars and pays out through Interac, iDebit, Instadebit or a Canadian bank, and whether the bonus it advertises has terms a player can actually read. Links to operators are commercial; the order of our table does not depend on them, and where a brand has no verified Canadian bonus figure we leave the row out rather than convert a euro package into dollars. Ontario-registered sites are not allowed to publish welcome offers to Ontario players, so the figures shown for those brands are the rest-of-Canada offer. Bonus terms, limits and payout times change — read the operator's own terms before you deposit.

Canada licenses gambling province by province, not federally. Ontario has run an open market since 4 April 2022: an operator registers with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and signs an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario (iGO) — 48 operators and 82 sites were on the register as of 22 July 2026. Alberta opened second, on 13 July 2026, under the iGaming Alberta Act, with AGLC as the regulator. Every other province runs its own operator instead — PlayNow in British Columbia, Loto-Québec, Atlantic Lottery, PlayAlberta — and issues no private online licences, so residents elsewhere play on offshore sites, which is not an offence for the player. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission, inside Quebec, has licensed offshore operators since 1999. Recreational winnings are not taxable in Canada; playing professionally is the exception.
