"As Europe's leading online sports betting operator, football is fundamental to our long-term success, making up approximately half of our total sports betting revenue of 261 m euros ($320m; £204m) in 2011," said Norbert Teufelberger, co-chief executive of Bwin's parent company, Bwin.party.
He also went on to state. “Man Utd has 569 million followers outside of Europe, providing us with a great opportunity to offer jointly designed and innovative products in countries that do not yet allow real money online sports betting,".
After having reviewed what the major executive has said, it is easy and clear to see what Bwin is trying to achieve with these compelling partnerships.
The betting company is aware of the many nations that are yet to authorize the use of gambling sites within their borders. Therefore, being partners with such strong and reliable institutions like Manchester United, give the brand a sense of trust and professionalism that may give it the chance to enter seemingly prohibited territories.
