“As leaders in our respective industries, both the Club and 188BET share a common goal of further growth across the UK. As well as shirt sponsorship, the agreement also includes provision for significant branding at the DW Stadium and representation on the Club’s official digital and social media channels.”

The opportunity to sponsor a leading Rugby team with the history, heritage and standing of the Wigan Club was just too good to pass up.
