Winamax will continue to enjoy brand visibility at Nantes FC homeground, Stade de La Beaujoire and other promotional opportunities related to the club and its players.

Under the terms of the deal, the LeoVegas logo will feature on Brentford FC’s home and away shirts for the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons.

In addition, the LeoVegas brand will appear on various items of Brentford training wear and throughout home stadium, Griffin Park.

“This partnership marks an exciting growth in our sports offering, and offers the perfect platform for us to engage with more football fans – something which is important for us to do over the coming months as we focus on the evolution of our sports betting product,” Jon Sinclair, head of LeoVegas in the UK and Ireland, said.
