You Bet We’re Celtic - November 2007
Celtic FC are proud to present celticfcbet.com, the club’s new official online betting platform. Celticfcbet.com will provide Celtic supporters with their own betting arena and as the site was designed with input from the fans, the experience of betting on Celtic, with Celtic will be unique.
A collaborative effort between Celtic Football Club, Nordic Gaming and Blue Chip Games and BD Sport, celticfcbet.com is the Club’s first Celtic branded sports betting platform and will feature over 70 different bets for each Celtic game, home and away including Livebet – the opportunity to place bets during each Celtic game as the action unfolds. The site is complimented with poker rooms and Casino games will be added later in the season, giving Celtic supporters a comprehensive gaming experience. The site will be marketed and managed by Sports marketing and sponsorship consultancy BD Sport Ltd.
Celticfcbet.com welcomes Celtic legend Bertie Auld and fan favourite, John Hartson as official ambassadors to the site. The ambassadors will be placing a £25 bet on every Celtic game this season, each hoping to win money for their chosen charity, Bertie has chosen the Breast Cancer Unit at the Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow, whilst John Hartson’s choice is the Children’s Hospital at Morriston Hospital in his home town of Swansea. Bertie’s Bets and Hartson’s Hunch will be a regular feature on the new site along with the latest sporting news and betting odds.
Celticfcbet.com’s Keith Long is excited that the site has been produced with fans of the club in mind. “We are delighted to have been instrumental in developing a fan focused site for one of the most successful and well loved clubs in Europe. We feel that the website will offer Celtic supporters, globally, the best possible online betting experience, reflecting their passion and commitment to the Club”
