Ligue 1: Winamax announced as shorts sponsor of Olympique de Marseille until 2016-17

Winamax, the online poker site and sports betting operator, has become the shorts sponsor of Olympique de Marseille (Ligue 1) until the end of the 2016-17 season, announced the club on 30/06/2015. The red W - the logo of the company- will be visible on the front left and and right rear of the shorts of Marseille players.

The company replaces the fast food chain Quick in this space. Winamax will also receive the visibility on the advertising boards. A "bet" tab is now on the main page of the OM website which sends fans directly to the site of their partner. The French company replaces Bwin as the club's official betting operator. Bwin had signed a three-year contract in August 2013, so the contract has been terminated a year before completion.

"Many initiatives will allow players on winamax.fr and supporters of the club to enjoy benefits such as seats in boxes for at matches, the chance to win shirts, events at the Stade Velodrome, including the Golden Barre before each home game, or even free bets allowing fans to benefit from Winamax's best odds. Other surprises are planned…
