Winamax plays a strong hand with OGC Nice

French Ligue 1 football club OGC Nice has agreed a commercial partnership with online poker operator Winamax.

The deal covers the 2015-16 season and grants Winamax branding space on the front of Nice’s playing shorts.

Winamax will also benefit from visibility throughout Nice’s Allianz Riviera stadium and tie-ins across the club’s website and social media channels to launch fan initiatives.

Earlier this month, Winamax agreed a similar deal with Nice’s Ligue 1 rival Olympique de Marseille running across the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.
