Second Worldlink Commercial Sports Betting Site Goes Live
Whyteleafe Football Club in Surrey to Benefit
Worldlink Group PLC (LSE: WGP), the listed company with patented
technology covering the transmission and receiving of change data
on all mobile devices, announce today that Whyteleafe Football Club
has become the second club to take advantage of the
Worldlink/Betbutler collaboration to offer a share revenue of bets
placed through the Worldlink/Betbutler service on all sports
betting. Initially this service will be available through desk-top
units but will be upgraded to work through all mobile devices in
early April.
The first Club to take this service was Ramsgate FC who have
already seen useful revenues flowing into the Club since the
service was offered in February
Whyteleafe FC competes in Division 1 South of the Ryman Football
League. It is a genuinely local football club serving the
communities of Whyteleafe, Caterham, Warlingham, Kenley and across
east Surrey. As such it draws its support base from the local
area.
Mark Coote Chairman of Whyteleafe FC commented: "Playing in one
of the most attractive grounds in non-league football, and with
some of the friendliest supporters, it's always worth paying the
'Leafe a visit. Although we get tremendous support from the
locality we are always looking for additional ways to generate
revenues and this link with Worldlink and Betbutler will generate
some additional revenues without increasing any demand on our
supporters. Those who bet regularly can give a lot back to the club
by using the service that will go live on our website. Even those
who will have the occasional flutter on the Grand National will
also be helping the club significantly by using the
Whyteleafe/Worldlink/Betbutler service. The beauty of what is being
offered is that we know we are ensuring those who support us get
the very best odds for their bet so benefits are available for all
parties.
Neil Riches, Managing Director of Worldlink added: "The pilot
study at Ramsgate has worked well on the pc based model and we are
now about to go live at Ramsgate with the mobile version which
should make the sports betting service through Ramsgate FC more
available. Ramsgate FC have undertaken a marketing campaign to make
supporters aware of the service and they have already received
useful revenue from the PC-based service. Importantly for
Worldlink, the first revenues for the company are also being
generated and although it is early days it is clear that the
Club/Worldlink shared revenuemodel will prove very successful for
all parties."
