One of the major poker site providers, Everest Poker has announced they have concluded a sponsorship agreement with the French football club Olympique Lyonnais. Under the agreement, Everest Poker logo will appear on the t-shirts of the French Ligue 1 Team in all away matches. From August 7, the logos of the online poker site will be seen on the shirts.
The collaboration comes just weeks after Everest Poker received a French poker license from the French gambling authority ARJEL. Besides the online poker operator, the sports betting site BetClic also got a sponsorship with the French soccer team. Both companies are part of casino gambling and sport betting group Mangas Gaming. The new away shirts of the French national team shirts were designed by Adidas Lifestyle in the colors crimson red and gold and carry the logo of Everest Poker. The home jerseys bear the logo of BetClic. Sandrine Mangia-Park, director of Everest poker in France said: “Everest Poker is a community which brings together all kinds of players, from amateurs to pros. By becoming a sponsor of Olympique Lyonnais, we want to associate the sport values of the poker online community with those of Lyon’s football team.
Pushed by our commitment to strengthen our link with players and to gain ground in our growing market, we are confident this partnership will be a true success thanks to the joy offered by our partners’ performance.”
