Tottenham Spur FC Gets Asian Betting Partner

This story was published more than 11 years ago.

English Premier League team the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has announced that they have signed Asian online betting firm Fun88 as the club's official Asian Betting and Gaming Partner.

The deal is for two years and began immediately after signing the contract. Both organizations will work to attract Asian punters through both internet and traditional activities including a co-branded microsite.

Commenting on the deal, Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy said: "We are delighted that Fun88 will become an Official Club Partner. This is the first time the club has signed a regional partnership in Asia and is largely down to the significant increase we have seen in the growth of our international fan base over the past few years."

“Over 60% of our global fan base comes from Asia, and together with the club’s reach through the Barclays Premier League broadcast platform, we are ideally placed to support Fun88’s continued growth in the Asian marketplace.”

Fun88 Founder Nick Lee also commented, saying: “This partnership brings together one of Asia’s top online gaming companies and Tottenham Hotspur, one of the most exciting and attacking clubs in the English Premier League."

“We are looking forward to working with the club to launch a new bespoke betting microsite. We believe that our knowledge of developing fun, interactive and engaging gaming platforms will provide Tottenham Hotspur’s international fan base with an exciting, new gaming experience.”

is this real??? because i'm a fan of TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR... i visit their website like once a week and i couldn't see this news coming up... however, the las time i visit the website, their gambling partner is still betfred.com and i don't think they have like two betting partners... or, if this news is right, maybe theyll change the splash page in a few days... who knows...

I don't think they are a jersey partner, but an Asian betting partner. I think its more of a branding thing.

nope... i didn't even mean the jersey partner... the jersey partners are AURASMA (when playing in domestic league) and INVESTEC (when playing in domestic cup and continental cup)... the betting partner can usually be seen on the splash page of their website as in my previous screenshot...

*UPDATE*
this news is proven to be true... they eventually have two betting partners which are BETFRED and FUN88... my bad anyway... sorry guys... i was just being so skeptical but i did some research anyway... sorry... sorry... sorry...
