Marathonbet is marking the deal with a UK-specific sign-up promotion of enhanced odds of 10/1 on Liverpool to finish in the top four in the upcoming 2015-16 Barclays Premier League season, following a sixth-placed finish last term.

This deal sees Marathonbet join 188BET and Comeon! as regional betting partners, tapping into Liverpool's fanbase through stadium branding at Anfield, access to first-team and former players and club legends and further exposure through Liverpool FC's digital platforms.

Shaun Simmonds, head of sponsorship at Marathonbet, said: "This stands as a milestone in the history of Marathonbet. Liverpool is one of the most famous sporting organisations in the world and we're extremely confident that this partnership will help Marathonbet become an increasingly recognised brand on a global level."
