A Fun88 spokesperson said: “Fun88 is delighted to continue its association with Newcastle United football club.

“Together with the club, we live the dream of expanding our fan base across all continents, especially in Asia.

“Fun88 is optimistic that the partnership will assist us in becoming the leading gaming and entertainment platform in countries across the world.”

Lee Charnley, Newcastle United’s managing director, said: “We are delighted Fun88 has renewed its relationship with Newcastle United and committed its support to the club over a number of years to come.

“Building on the success of our partnership to date, we look forward to this next phase and working together to engage fans and grow our collective reach around the world.”
