BET YOU’RE NOT A SMART TEAM!

My Club Betting is the solution to lack of grassroots funding

-

THE question had been swilling around in the mind of the founder of My Club for a number of years: How could revenue be generated to help grassroots sport?

Like many good ideas, it took a lightbulb moment over a pint to find the solution – and it was brilliant in its simplicity: use people’s normal betting habits to help their own clubs.

Thus MYCLUBBETT­ING.COM was born – and is now the champion of clubs nationwide.

The premise is simple: The club receive a free betting service at no cost. The members and supporters bet via the club service and the club is rewarded with free sports equipment.

Benefits

Unlike all other bookmakers, the service also gives money back – no less than 20% of net revenues (or £20 in every £100) return to the respective club for developmen­t every month.

MYCLUBBETT­ING.COM have been rolling out their tailor-made service to grassroots teams up to and including the National League, and many are already reaping the benefits.

Mid Sussex Football League club Ridgewood FC landed a brand new kit within just three weeks of receiving the service.

The Division Six side became the first club to take advantage of the unique offer from MYCLUBBETT­ING.COM and many more followed.Why wouldn’t they? It’s a no-brainer.

The Uckfield-based club did not have to pay a penny for the service.

Ridgewood FC manager Chaz Shires said: “We are delighted, we received a match ball when one person signed up, got another two match balls and a large kit bag when six people used the service, and now we have a full kit for 15 players because 11 have signed up.

“The service is just like any other betting service. It has been a fantastic addition to the club.”

There is no catch or hidden costs – just a bookmaking service that gives back.

Based in Carlisle, Eden Thistle FC play in the Westmorlan­d League and are glad they also took advantage.

Eden Thistle FC’s Philip Wynne said: “My Club Betting provides a fast, efficient service that our supporters are very happy with, because not only does it offer a huge range of sports betting opportunit­ies, they know that they are supporting their club.

“This has been a big costsaving benefit and it is a great initiative to help grassroots sports and clubs like ours. We also continue to benefit from a revenue stream – no other bookmaker gives back 20%, so it made sense to bet via My Club Betting.

“Signing up to the service was a no-brainer, because it was free.We received some top-quality kit from Errea and, in every respect, we consider ourselves to be the smartest club in The Westmorela­nd League.”

So the next time you are talking football over a pint, don’t forget to drop MYCLUBBETT­ING.COM in the conversati­on and see what it can do for your club.
