Swansea City Football Club Announce Sponsorship Deal with 32Red Online Casino

32Red Plc and Swansea City FC announced today a partnership that will see the award-winning online gaming firm become the South Wales club’s official shirt and gaming sponsors.

The two-year sponsorship deal will see the 32 Red logo placed on the front of the Swans’ home and away shirts, while the Gibraltar-based company will also become the club’s official online gaming partner.

32Red Online Casino offers players over 350 unique casino games and a choice of welcome bonuses and monthly rewards. The poker site provides thousands of poker tables where players can enjoy games of Texas Hold’em, Omaha poker and more in addition to online bingo and a mobile phone casino.

The deal also reverses the current trend where an increasing number of professional clubs are failing to secure shirt sponsorship in today’s difficult financial climate. Swansea City’s vice-chairman, Leigh Dineen, was delighted to secure 32Red Casino as club sponsor, especially as 32Red’s previous shirt deal was with Premier League Club Aston Villa.

“It shows how far the club has come,’’ explained Dineen. “32Red were talking to a number of other football clubs, including some in the Premiership, about shirt sponsorship; but we are delighted to become their chosen partners in football. We are now a Championship club with a Premiership sponsor – and that’s something we are very proud of.”

Dineen added, “It was also encouraging to see a number of companies express an interest in becoming our main sponsor. There were some very interesting discussions over the course of last season, but 32Red was without doubt the best deal for us. It is a modern company with global reach; has pro-active ideas and will help us spread the Swans message to the international stage. We are really excited about working with them and I’m sure we will make a great team.”

The deal also represents an exciting and potentially lucrative opportunity for the club to share revenue drawn from 32Red’s online casino, poker and betting services. The club will be announcing some exciting initiatives on this link for its official website and supporters’ on July 1.

Ed Ware, CEO of 32Red, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Swansea City, one of the most exciting clubs in the Championship. Swansea has become a highly progressive team over recent seasons and we are looking forward to an exciting time as the club’s main sponsor.”

“The deal means we will once again raise our profile throughout the UK by becoming part of the football scene. And, thanks to the increased media coverage of the Championship, we expect our tie up with the Swans to deliver significant interest in our award-winning online casino.”

The sponsorship deal was facilitated with the help of Jim White and his commercial consultancy company, The Changing Face, and David Little of Magrath and Co in London. Both are avid Swans fans.

Will live dealers achieve “Reality Star” status at Europa Casino?

Europa Casino recently introduced a team of new online dealers to their live games. Some hope this exposure will open up celebrity career opportunities.

The media is replete with successful celebrities who got their first shots at stardom on “reality” gigs. These include entertainers such as Jade Goody, Jennifer Hudson (plus new fiancée, David Otunga), and most recently Susan Boyle, who rocked Britain’s Got Talent with her captivating rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream”.

As online streaming technology advances, Internet exposure is becoming the next serious platform for affording that lucky somebody a real shot at the limelight.

Europa Casino’s recruitment of new European “live dealers,” has one woman seeing herself one step closer to her own dream of stardom. Twenty-four year old Emily Perkins of England has high expectations from her live dealer stint with Europa. “I know that many prominent people visit Europa Casino and I think that getting my face out there will open the door for my acting career,” Emily shared.

Since originally launching the live dealer service, these games have become extremely popular among the growing online gaming community. When you consider this community numbers in the tens of millions, Perkins’ dream of achieving mass exposure seems a lot less far-fetched.

The live games at Europa Casino offer an interactive gaming experience, with players waited on by live dealers, who deal via the hi-tech video feeds provided by Playtech.
