Online Sportsbook Bet365 Stays in Premiership

The English Premier League's Stoke City FC has clinched an extension to a lucrative sponsorship deal with leading online sportsbook Bet365. The agreement will see the Bet365 logo feature on the shirts of Stoke FC players for the next three years.

The deal is evidence of the sportsbook's commitment to the club, which has benefitted from Bet365's financial and moral support since it was promoted to the top flight of English soccer back in 2008. Bet365's loyalty to Stoke City comes as no surprise: the Bet365 brand fought its way to global success from very humble beginnings in a portable cabin based in Stoke-on-Trent, UK - Stoke City FC's hometown.

As a Premier League sponsor, Bet365 has its advertising beamed into 650 million households worldwide each year. A good thing then that this sportsbook can indeed provide a truly global, online sports betting service: in 16 different languages and 20 currencies from Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia, Bet365 offers betting markets in an eclectic range of international sports, including, to name but a few:

• American Football
• Soccer
• Australian Rules
• Cricket
• Gaelic Sports
• Ice Hockey
• Winter Sports
• Volley Ball
• Boxing
• Tennis

At Bet365 you don't have to have your wagers in before the games begin. The sportsbook offers in-play betting allowing you to bet as the action flows, and place educated and strategic wagers. Live streaming is also available, so you can follow a match online as you fill out your bet slip. Much of the action from Euro 2012 and this summer's Olympic games will feature in Bet365's live betting markets, so it's worth signing up now to find your way around this sportsbook before the summer's mouthwatering line-up of sporting action starts. Bet365's current sign-up reward for new members is a 100% deposit match bonus of up to $200.
