Schalke nets extension with bet-at-home.com

Online gambling company bet-at-home.com has penned a two-year extension to its sponsorship agreement with German Bundesliga football club Schalke 04.

The partnership was initially launched last year and the new agreement, effective from the end of the current football season, will run until June 2016.

Under the deal, bet-at-home.com will benefit from television-visible branding at pitchside in Schalke’s Veltins-Arena and on interview backdrops at the stadium’s mixed zone and media centre.

Additionally, the bookmaker will have a presence on Schalke’s official website through a dedicated betting section.

Schalke is currently sixth in the Bundesliga table after 16 matches of the 2013-14 campaign.
