Isle of Man based bookmaker 188BET has added Everton to the growing list of Barclays Premier League clubs for which the firm is the official betting partner.

Last season it had deals with Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Bolton and Wigan, with the latter two also sponsored by the company, whose logo appears on their shirts.

Although financial details have not been released, the latest deal is believed to be worth as much as a seven figure sum annually to the Merseyside club.

Chief executive of 188BET Andy Scott said: 'Everton Football Club is another fantastic addition to our valuable portfolio of partnerships with Premier League football clubs'.

Everton chief executive Robert Elstone was equally pleased, adding: 'We are delighted to become the latest member of the 188BET family of Premier League football clubs'.
