A new partnership has been announced which football fans are sure to be very excited about indeed. UKash, the online payment solution which is normally used for online casinos such as the Jackpot Grand Casino, now sponsoring Birmingham City FC, which means that fans of the club can now purchase match tickets and place bets on the games online without having to use a credit or debit card. This is going to make things much more convenient for many people, and is certainly a great sponsorship deal on both sides. The UKash voucher system has been a favourite with online bettors for a long time, and now this exclusive partnership means that Birmingham fans can use it in a number of very convenient ways.
The deal is intended to make it easier for fans to get tickets, while also letting them place bets online without having to change which method they are using, and the new arrangement will also allow UKash to advertise their services at the St Andrews grounds were Birmingham play. Up to 1,000,000 people watch the games there each season, which means that this is going to be a lot of great coverage for the online payment solution. It could bring them to a whole new audience, and that is clearly the thought process which was going through the minds of the management of the company when they decided to create this partnership with the football club. Ukash chief executive David Hunter has commented that “We are tremendously excited by the opportunities to increase exposure for the Ukash brand through this relationship with Birmingham City Football Club,” adding that “we believe the global audience for the Sky Bet Championship, which is broadcast in up to 92 territories, will very effectively support our own global ambitions.”
For Birmingham City FC, sales manager Shaun Petafi said “We look forward to building a long-term relationship with Ukash and providing our supporters with another convenient online payment solution,” and that “This system aims to add value to the Blues fans that prefer cash transactions, making online retail more accessible for all of our supporters.” The voucher system can already be purchased in hundreds of thousands of shops, newsagents, garages, and so forth across the UK and Europe. It works in a very simple way: users will simply pay for the vouchers with cash or cards at the shop, and they will receive a ticket which has a unique code printed on it. They can then log into any site which accepts this payment method, enter the code, and make their purchase. It is a very safe and easy way to make online payments as it means that there is no contact between the online merchants and your bank account, and there is also no way to trace the code back to that bank account even if they wanted to. It also has a great advantage over e-wallets as it means that you do not have to set anything up.
