Fulham signs up new betting partner
4 days ago by Stephen Carter 0 Fulham has become the latest English Premier League club to sign a new betting partnership, announcing a three-year deal with Worldlink Sport.

Worldlink will provide betting in-stadium as well as through the club’s website and mobile app for Fulham fans, using technology developed with bookmaking partner BetButler, the “betbroker” platform which sources best odds across more than 60 online bookmakers, including Paddy Power and Ladbrokes.

Fulham FC Alistair Mackintosh said he was “absolutely delighted” to bring Worldlink on board as one of the club’s partners. “They impressed us not only with their product but their commitment to a long-term partnership”, he said.

Worldlink MD Neil Riches added: “We’re looking forward to providing the Fulham fans with an enhanced-betting experience, and developing a long-term relationship with a Club of such international prestige.”

The deal follows Worldlink and BetButler signing a deal in June to provide up to 66 amateur clubs in the three divisions of the Ryman League with mobile and online betting and gaming portals.

A host of EPL clubs have announced betting and gaming partnerships with leading European and Asian operators in the lead-up to the new season which kicked off at the weekend. These include Manchester United with bwin, Liverpool with Paddy Power and 188Bet, Spurs with Betfred and Fun88, Everton with Paddy Power and Dafabet, and West Brom with Dafabet.

Betting partnerships are seen by operators as a more cost-effective way of tapping into the global popularity of the EPL than higher-profile and more expensive shirt sponsorship deals. Three Premier League teams are however currently in shirt deals with online gambling brands – Swansea with 32Red, West Ham with SBObet and Wigan with 12bet, with land-based operator Genting, which also runs a UK online gaming business, also sponsors Aston Villa. This is however less than the number of clubs sporting gambling brands in the English top tier last season, after Tombola’s deal with Sunderland expired this summer, West Brom decided to terminate its relationship with Bodog 12 months early and Sportingbet-sponsored Wolves were relegated into the Championship.

Paddy Power to pay Nicklas Bendtner €100K pants fine

Published Tuesday, Jun 19 2012, 16:25 BST | By Mayer Nissim |

​

Paddy Power has confirmed that it will pay Nicklas Bendtner's €100,000 (£80,600) fine forshowing the brand's name on his underpants during Denmark's game against Portugal.

The bookmaker quipped on its blog that UEFA had decided to tackle the matter "after solving all the social, political and race issues surrounding Euro 2012".

"We can't do anything about UEFA's chilled-out attitude to racism or political oppression, but we can do something about the Pantsgate," the company said.

"We've decided to foot the bill for the fine. Paddy Power are paying Bendtner's massively over-the-top €100,000 fine."

Paddy Power's head of mischief Ken Robertson added: "We pride ourselves on listening to our customers and what we heard loud and clear yesterday was that Nicklas Bendtner should not suffer as a result of UEFA's double standards.

"We don't believe that Nicklas should be penalised for nothing more serious than wearing his lucky underpants which in fairness was only a bit of fun."

Paddy Power then listed other UEFA fines as a contrast with that given to Bendtner:

Euro 2012 - Russian FA fined £96,000 for fan violence ahead of the game with Poland
Euro 2012 - Croatia fined £20,000 for pitch invader, throwing missiles and lighting of flares
Euro 2012 - Germany fined £8,000 for fans throwing missiles onto the pitch v Portugal
Euro 2012 - Portuguese FA fined £4,000 for delaying the start of the second half v Germany
2012 - Porto fined £16,700 for racist incidents
2008 - Croatia fined £10,000 for racist incidents
2007 - Serbia fined £16,500 for racist incidents
2004 - Spain fined £45,000 for racist incidents

One onLy need to observe the number of goaLs' averages after the 90th min stoppage time to concur..

It seems that in England, the players are allowed to bet but not on matches involving their own teams.
There was a story once that Paul Scholes said he went to place a bet on Michael Owen scoring a hattrick. That was before Owen joined Man Utd, probably while he was still at Liverpool.
Nothing wrong with that apparently and btw, I think Owen did score a hattrick.
