Manchester City F.C. Faces Criticism over Obscure Gambling Partner 8Xbet's Mysterious Owners
Manchester City signed a sponsorship deal with 8Xbet in July. The company was established in 2018 and is aimed at Southeast Asia. Its social media accounts are run in the United Arab Emirates. The club's owners are from the UAE. It has not been suggested that the EPL football club is involved in any way. The club ended a previous sponsorship with 3key in April. 3Key was a gambling company that didn't exist. 8xbet's social Media accounts seem to be run by a Dubai-based marketing firm.
Manchester City F.C. is a partner of 8Xbet. The company was established in 2018 and has a website named 978bet launched towards the end of 2021 and rebranded to its current name in January 2022. 8xbet has its gambling licence issued in Curacao in the first half of the 2021. The club has worked with relevant parties to activate some marketing assets in respective territories to meet the business objectives of 8 Xbet, but there is no information about the social media presence.
Manchester City F.C. is a partner of 8Xbet. The owners of the company remain unknown. There are reports that the addresses of some of its employees are a mobile phone shop in Da Nang, a Marriott hotel in Ho Chi Minh Ville and a shack in Can. CEO Trinh Thy Trang has a fake LinkedIn profile with a picture that can be purchased for $45. England's striker Sheringham is the only representative of this company.
