As part of the deal, Given will be a part of LeoVegas’ social media platforms, as well as give his insight on the biggest stories in the footballing world.
Given said of his new role: “I’m delighted to sign for LeoVegas. After many years of playing in the Premier League for some really incredible teams and representing Ireland at major tournaments, I look forward to sharing my views and football tips.”
Meanwhile, Sam Behar, Director of UK and Ireland at LeoVegas Group, added: “To have an Irish sporting hero like Shay Given on board shows the huge strides LeoVegas is making in the Irish market.

In recent news, LeoVegas posted a 1% revenue drop for Q3 2022.
Total revenue for the year stood at €295.2m, which topped 2021’s total of €292.9m up to the same point and will be far greater by the end of the year.
For LeoVegas, the complete revenue haul for 2021 stood at €391m, which – so long as the Swedish business does not have a nightmare of a Q4 – it should be able to beat come the next set of financial results in early 2023.
