SPONSORSPARTNERS
Arsenal and Betfair have renewed and expanded their partnership until 2019. The new deal sees Betfair become the club’s official betting partner in the UK, Europe, South and Central America.
The expanded partnership gives Betfair increased branding at domestic fixtures played at Emirates Stadium and additional hospitality on a matchday for key clients and customers. They will also have access to first team players to develop promotional and marketing activities, and can engage with the club’s broad support base through Arsenal’s online and social media channels.
Betfair, now one of the world’s largest online gambling businesses since its recent merger with Paddy Power, plans to expand its offering to Arsenal supporters through a combination of offers and exclusive bets around key fixtures throughout the season.
Paul Gambrill, marketing and brand director for Betfair, said: “We’re thrilled to be extending our contract with Arsenal, after a hugely successful first season with the club. Arsenal are a fantastic club and we look forward to engaging with their incredible fan base again next season and beyond.”
Arsenal’s chief commercial officer, Vinai Venkatesham, added: “We look forward to working together to further engage Arsenal supporters in the UK, Europe, Central and South America.”
