Titanbet Teams Up With John Barnes

Titanbet.co.uk has signed former Liverpool and England star John Barnes as a brand ambassador for their new UK-facing sportsbook.



The 50 year-old earned 79 caps for the national team during a career that saw him lift both the First Division and FA Cup on two occasions while at Anfield.

Titanbet, run by Playtech subsidiary PT Entertainment Services, is in the process of acquiring a UK licence and planning a number of initiatives to attract new UK-based customers.



As well as online content that will include written and video blogs, Barnes will be involved in other media work for Titanbet.co.uk to increase awareness of the brand.



His first engagement was to unveil a street art project celebrating his former team’s European heritage ahead of last week’s Champions League game against Real Madrid. You can view footage of the event here.

Brand spokesman, Russell Yershon, said they were delighted to have signed the former winger: ‘I’m confident John will have great resonance among football punters who remember his mazy runs in one of English football’s most successful teams.’



‘More importantly, he will give us a platform to position ourselves in the UK market alongside the more established players.’

John Barnes commented: ‘It’s a privilege to sign with Titanbet.co.uk in an ambassadorial role and I am very much looking forward to working with the brand to grow its presence in the UK market.’

The appointment of Barnes, who now works as a pundit for ESPN in the UK and SuperSport in South Africa, follows a deal to become the betting partner of The Sun’s daily sports betting column.         



Titanbet.co.uk also recently made its first foray into British horseracing, after agreeing a deal to sponsor twilight racing and a National Hunt meeting at Kempton Park.
