Fans of football and online gaming will soon see two of their passions collide now that Crawley Town Football Club and internet casino 32Red have announced a business deal. This move will see 32Red acting as a sponsor for Crawley Town, emblazoning player shirts with their logo.
                32 Red has just completed a deal that will result in Crawley Town FC players wearing shirts that sport the casino's site logo throughout the next two years. This isn't the first time that the online casino has acted as a sponsor for a football club either. 32Red previously sponsored Aston Villa and Swansea City, both teams who went on to enjoy great success during the time their uniforms were branded with the site's logo. Mark Quayle, 32Red's Head of Marketing, said that his company is "delighted to support Crawley Town as they look ahead to their second season in League One" and that 32Red's "previous football sponsorships have been a great success."
                Quayle also acknowledged the link between 32Red sponsorship and Aston Villa and Swansea City's success, saying that he "[hoped ] the trend of 32Red being a 'lucky sponsor' continues" for Crawley Town FC. The league's Commercial Manager, Ewan Dunlop, expressed a similar sentiment, calling the sponsorship "a tremendous deal for the football club." Those interested in picking up a branded shirt can expect to see the redesigned apparel — available in adult sizes only — hitting store shelves in the near future.

The casino offerings from online gaming networks 32Red and Sky Vegas both awarded its members with some of the largest cash rewards to be reported this year. Each of the site’s slot machines recently paid out enormous amounts to lucky players, making a landmark for early 2012.

32Red’s winner struck it big on 9th January, within the same day of registering at the virtual casino site. The player deposited £40 and sat down to play video poker through the Supajax progressive jackpot — a game based on the popular Jacks or Better style of play. Shortly after starting the game, the 32Red player triggered the progressive jackpot to win more than £50,000 in cash. Sky Vegas also awarded an enormous cash prize to one of its members through its Leprechaun’s Luck slot game. The five reel, 20 payline title provides the chance to win large sums through its two bonus rounds. Triggering these can lead to winning the slot’s progressive jackpot — which one lucky player did before receiving a windfall of £147,000 in cash.

32Red told press that the money came “as a big shock” to the Supajax winner, as she or he had “created an account with us [only] 13 hours prior to playing.” Sky Vegas released a statement that detailed its winner’s £147,000 prize, describing it as “a mammoth reward for the very humble one pound used on the game” by the player.
