Spreadex becomes shirt sponsor of EPL team Burnley FC

UK financial trading and sports betting firm Spreadex has announced that it has “reached the Premier League” by becoming the principal front of shirt partner of Burnley Football Club for the coming season. Burnley FC placed 17th in this past years Premier League standings narrowly avoiding relegation.

The Spreadex Sports logo will be worn by Clarets players across the home, away and third kits during Burnleys sixth consecutive top flight campaign. The new 2021-22 kits will be revealed later this week, while Spreadex said it will work closely with the club on a range of community and charity-based initiatives across the course of the season.

The multi-million-pound shirt deal also includes rights, such as LED perimeter board advertising, player access across the season, and presence across Burnleys website, CRM and social media channels. Spreadex is the only company in the world to offer customers access to traditional sportsbook betting as well as sports spread betting and financial trading. The firm, which now employs more than 150 staff at its headquarters in St Albans, has been operating since 1999 and is regulated by both the Gambling Commission and Financial Conduct Authority due to its unique product offering.

Spreadex saw an 8% decline in Revenue in 2020, £49.1 million versus £53.3 million in 2019, with a decline in sports activity somewhat offset by increased financial spreadbetting.

Burnley Football Club has also pledged to donate £5 for every third-choice shirt sold towards Alzheimers Society, which Spreadex will match.

Players will wear the new home kit for the first time in a pre-season game against Oldham Athletic on July 24.
