Office Pools Bets [OPBets] is an online sports betting platform operating out of Ontario, Canada. They exist to elevate traditional gambling for the betterment of Canadian bettors, sports fans, and our local communities.

We approached this project with a customer-centrist focus. Everything was related back to our market strategy, and customer profiles as we built communications channels, brand standards and graphics. We focused on three key market profiles operating in Ontario – the only province where live-action sports betting in Canada (currently). The challenge was aligning our visual styles to customer expectations of what sports betting platforms look & feels like.
