Nick Lee, spokesman for Welton Holdings Limited, owners of Fun88, added: “Sponsoring Burnley is in line with Fun88′s ambitions to move our brand to the next level in Asia, as well as giving Fun88 a key platform to reach out to the European market where it intends to penetrate in the next season.
“As part of the club sponsorship Fun88 will be launching a number of marketing initiatives in the next few months. This will further reinforce Fun88’s association with the club,” Lee added.
