Mansion, Matchbook and Interwetten firm up football sponsorships

Online gambling operator Mansion Group has inked its second English Premier League sponsorship deal in as many months.

Last week, the Gibraltar-based Mansion announced that it had signed on as official main club sponsor of Crystal Palace FC. Mansion says its logo will adorn the club’s kit, which suggests that the two-year shirt deal the team inked with online payments group Optimal Payments last year came to a premature conclusion.

Mansion CEO Sagi Lahav said his firm looked forward to working with Crystal Palace on “a number of initiatives that will enhance the visibility of both our brands, whilst providing a platform for CPFC fans, and our Mansion casino members, to benefit from the partnership.” The deal follows Mansion’s recent shirt deal with AFC Bournemouth, which only recently won promotion to the EPL.

A little lower down the football pecking order, online exchange betting specialists Matchbook.com have inked a new sponsorship deal with Football League Championship squad Brentford FC. The deal is for one year with an option for a second year, and will see Matchbook’s logo adorn the front of club’s kit, a promotion from the 2014-15 season, when Matchbook’s logo appeared on the back of the shirt.
