Online gaming operator Mr Green has partnered with former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan in a long-term deal that sees the batsman sharing his sporting expertise in exclusive video and written content.

Vaughan goes Green

The former world number-one batsman will preview a number of key events in the sporting calendar, including the upcoming Ashes series, and offering some tips.

Vaughan said: “Mr Green has that unique smartness to how they do things, and that’s what I like about them. I’m into my sport and like the occasional a little fun bet so hopefully I can get involved and help some punters win a few quid.

“Mr Green is just that little bit different and that’s what I like about them.

“There are some great sporting events coming up over the next few months, from the British Lions tour to the Ashes, the Premier League will be back before we know it, and I’m looking forward to giving out some great tips and offers,” said Vaughan.

Enda Gaffney, head of sportsbook at Mr Green, added: “Michael fits the brand perfectly.

“This type of deal will see us better engage our players via exclusive content and further add to the entertaining experience at Mr Green.”
