Unibet has announced a partnership with Essex County Cricket Club to become a sponsor of the club in a two year deal.

The deal will see the betting company become the official betting partner of the County, and will also include stand sponsorship at The Essex County Ground.

Unibet will be offering Essex fans a welcome offer as well as odds on all Essex matches and ball-by-ball betting on the county’s major games.

A Land Rover will also be at The Eagles’ T20 games, which will give out free bets and merchandise.

Currently, Unibet’s cricket portfolio includes sponsorship of the Caribbean Premier League T20 and the broadcast sponsorship of the Indian Premier League, plus a cricket TV ad on Sky Sports.

Graham Gooch, Essex CCC ambassador, said: “We would like to thank Unibet for its support moving forward. The backing of such a large company can only bode well for the future, as the club looks to grow both on and off the pitch.”

Unibet UK marketing manager Chris Watson said: “We are passionate about Cricket at Unibet, and Essex County Cricket Club perfectly matches our friendly, passionate and expert brand values. As official betting partner we look forward to providing Essex CCC fans with a variety of exciting and innovative bet types while allowing people to bet live in play, with ball-by-ball betting on big matches. 

“We are delighted to be involved and to ensure Unibet is the place to go for all bets on Essex for the next two years and beyond.”
