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.

Titan Casino raises the stakes on 2009 Champions League

While Europe remains gripped with curiosity as to who will win this year’s UEFA finals, Titan Casino is offering members a double incentive on the outcome.

It’s been two weeks since the final whistle blew on an extraordinary semi-final match that saw Manchester United defeat Arsenal, 3-1. The finalists, Barcelona and Man Utd, are now preparing for the biggest match of the year to determine who will be Europe’s top football team in 2009.

After United’s defeat of Barcelona in the 2008 Champions League semi-finals, both teams feel they have something to prove. Can Ronaldo help his team win the tournament for the second consecutive year, before his rumoured move to Real Madrid next season, or will Barcelona’s star player, Messi, help lead his team to a revenge victory?

New Gladiator Themed Slot Machines at Casino Tropez

The notoriously popular actor-turned-rapper, Joaquin Phoenix, can now be found on the new ‘Gladiator’ themed slot games at Online Casino Tropez

When Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from film last year and made his musical debut as a hip hop artist, Hollywood was taken by surprise. More recently, Phoenix can be seen at the online Casino Tropez, where his image is being used on the new 25-line slots game, Gladiator.

Phoenix’s career shift into music has not fared successfully, and the aspiring rapper has received a mostly mixed reception from both the hip hop community and his fellow thespians. What has successfully garnered attention is his downright bizarre behavior on a recent episode of the David Letterman Show, which spawned a backlash of speculations with regard to Phoenix’s mental health. Most notable was a hilarious impersonation delivered by Ben Stiller at the 81st Annual Oscar Awards.

The slots machine game to which Joaquin has been linked features symbols from the 5 time Oscar-winning film Gladiator, in which he starred. The unique mini-film excerpts seen when hitting a big pay-line show the actor at his best, portraying the fearsome Emperor Commodus. Other slot symbols include the images of the late Oliver Reed as Proximo.

Journeying to the bonus round is bound to get the adrenalin pumping, as members travel through winding corridors to the main arena along with the gladiators. The Gladiator game features two different bonus levels as well as a Gamble option – giving players the chance to double their winnings.
