Tempobet scores with Manchester City

Asia-facing online sportsbook Tempobet has become an official regional betting partner of English Premier League club Manchester City.

Tempobet, which already has similar deals in place with other Premier League clubs, as well as Spanish Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, will be allowed to use Manchester City’s crest on its website under the terms of the multi-year deal.

The operator, which will also have access to a number of City’s players for a forthcoming television commercial and photoshoot, said that the partnership for the Asia-Pacific region puts it “into the front rank of best-known sports betting sites”.

Tempobet managing director Mark Clayton said: “We’re very confident that a deal of this status will allow us to engage with football fans all over the world and help us showcase our compelling and highly competitive sports betting offering.”

Tempobet was founded in 2007 and offers sports betting as well as casino, virtual games, binary options and lottery.

“We are delighted to welcome Tempobet to the Manchester City family,” said Damian Willoughby, vice-president director of partnerships (Asia-Pacific) for City Football Group. “Tempobet are a world-leading gambling company with an extensive presence in the Asia-Pacific region, where our fan base continues to grow.”
