William Hill To Sponsor Crystal Palace F.c.
By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Aug 22, 2014
New deal follows agreement earlier this week to sponsor Aston Villa
The UK online and land betting group William Hill plc is expanding its football sponsorship strategy with gusto, it seems; following an agreement to sponsor Aston Villa earlier this week (see previous InfoPowa report) it announced Wednesday that it has also inked a deal with Crystal Palace FC for the 2014-2015 season.
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish welcomed the betting group as his club's official betting partner, and said he looked forward to a long association with the gambling group.
Kristof Fahy, chief marketing officer at William Hill, said: "The Barclays Premier League is the most watched domestic football competition in the World – and this deal with Palace gives us a gateway to introduce a whole new global audience to the William Hill brand."

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
