Just last week, the gambling site launched its operations in neighboring Tanzania whereas it also signed a deal with Spanish League La Liga in April.
And now SportPesa UK has inked a deal with top English Premier League club and nine-time England champions Everton FC.
The deal that was signed on Monday, takes effect from June 1, and will see the SportPesa brand feature on the Club’s shirts for the 2017/18 season.
