Luxbet officially our new major co-sponsor

[mightytiges]

So that's DSE = $1.1m and Luxbet $0.8m per year?

I'm guessing the announcement will be either Thursday or Friday?

you're forgetting Nissan on the shorts MT

Doh! So it's DSE = $800k, Luxbet = $800k plus Nissan's $300k? I thought the front jumper sponsor paid a bit more?

and some incentives.

Not only is Richmond hopeful of achieving record membership figures of more than 35,000 full subscribers for 2009 —the current numbers are 25 per cent ahead of last year — but the Tigers will this week finally announce a major sponsorship agreement with Luxbet following the AFL's new policy enabling betting shops to become key club sponsors after they have had a commercial arrangement with the league for a year.

Luxbet, an affiliate of the AFL partner Tabcorp, will become the name emblazoned on the back of the Richmond jumper. Although the deal remains less lucrative than the club was initially seeking it leaves only Melbourne as the AFL club without a major sponsor.

Although the deal remains less lucrative than the club was initially seeking ...

I take it it's less lucrative than the AIG sponsorship that fell through which was supposed to be an improvement on the AFG sponsorship. I presume it would be comparable to the Sportsbet  sponsorship.

No DSE pays more being on the front and take off a bit from Nissan.

I am pretty sure that last year when they announced DSE it was reported that it eas around $900-$950K a year

and some incentives.

I presume it would be comparable to the Sportsbet  sponsorship.

Yeah that's my understanding

You would bloody well hope so otherwise Andy D and the AFL have screwed us in protecting an existing sponsor of theirs when they haven't done so in the past with other clubs .

I see the sponsor logos have been removed on the mainpage of the RFC site.

EXCLUSIVE:

RICHMOND is poised to announce this afternoon betting agency Luxbet as its co-major sponsor.

The new sports betting agency will feature on the back of the club's jersey this year. The other co-major sponsor is idiot Smith, which will appear on the front of the jumper.

Industry sources suggest the LUXBET deal was worth around $1 million per season.

The deal means Melbourne is the only AFL club without a major sponsor complement.

Luxbet guy on SEN says it's only for a year.

[one-eyed]

It's done  .

Luxbet guy just said it on SEN.

* Luxbet will be blazened on the back of the Richmond guernsey for the Freo game.

* 1 year with option to go further.

* Tigers are going somewhere. Fantastic vision and buzz. Exciting times for Richmond and exciting times for Luxbet - 35k members, indigenous education centre, state of the art new facilites at Punt Rd and Craigieburn.

* On Cousins - proven class performer. Luxbet look at it as they back Richmond and Richmond backs Cousins so Luxbet backs Cousins.

If we got $1 million then that is a good result, and far better than the reported $700-800,000 per year that was speculated previously.
