Wigan Warriors to partner Asian-facing online
gambling site for the 2010 season
The Asian-facing and Isle of Man-based online gambling
firm 188Bet has signed its first rugby sponsorship
agreement - a one-year deal with rugby league football
club Wigan Warriors, becoming the team’s official
betting partner for the 2010 season.
188Bet
already sponsors English Premier League soccer clubs
Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers, and its logo will
now appear on the sleeves of the team’s home and away
shirts.
“188Bet is already establishing itself as
a big name in professional team sports being principal
sponsor with Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers as well
as partner deals with Chelsea, Aston Villa, Liverpool
and London Wasps RFC,” said Mick Hogan, Chief Executive
Officer of Wigan Warriors.
“We are delighted that
it has now extended its support to Wigan Warriors for
2010. Having listened to its future plans regarding
sports sponsorship, we are excited to be in partnership
with it for the forthcoming season.”
The
agreement will also see 188Bet offer match-day betting
services to rugby fans at the team’s DW Stadium, which
is the home for Wigan Athletic, along with an online
service.
“Having already developed a strong
relationship with Wigan Athletic, the company was keen
to associate itself with Wigan Warriors,” said Andy
Scott, CEO of 188Bet.
“The club is a likeminded
and progressive organisation with similar ambitious
plans for the future that will allow 188Bet to enter
into a new sporting sector. Wigan Warriors has a strong
brand profile in England and internationally and we see
it as the ideal partner and look forward to developing
the association further.”
