May 3 – English Championship club QPR has agreed a shirt sponsorship with on-line bookmaker CopyBet who also become the club’s official betting partner.
The agreement will see CopyBet’s branding feature on the back of the first team’s playing shirts from next season.
While the Premier League will introduce a ban on betting company front of shirt sponsorship from the 2026/27 season, the UK government did not extend the ban to EFL clubs who are free to retain shirt sponsorship deals and broker new ones.
CopyBet offers pre-match and in-play betting with more than 18,000 events daily. The bookmaker offers enhanced prices around major football matches, including the Premier League, Championship and Champions League.
Meanwhile, all new R’s fans that sign up will receive a no deposit £5 free bet to place on any QPR match throughout the season.
CopyBet allows punters to copy bets from any Tipster on the platform. Once a user has found a Tipster they like, they simply have to follow them, and the CopyBet platform will automatically copy their bets,
Tipsters are ranked based on their recent betting performance.
Anton Ivanov, CopyBet UK’s business development director, said: “As passionate football supporters we are extremely happy to be involved with such a historic English club. It is set to be an exciting season for CopyBet working with QPR.”
No value was given for the deal which was described as being multi-year.
Euan Inglis, QPR’s commercial director, said: “We are excited about this new partnership with CopyBet. Their model is very different to others in the marketplace with their innovative use of Tipsters.
“Anton and the team at CopyBet have been a pleasure to deal with as we embark on this multi-year partnership, which will include a number of creative, collaborative initiatives.”
