MoPlay is aggressively marketing itself as a game changer in the sports betting world under the hashtag #MoveOnUp. The betting company claims it provides “a fast, simple, personal and secure service, aimed at enhancing the user experience like never before.”

No figure was announced for the deal. MoPlay replaces Marathonbet as the Official Betting Partner of Manchester United. Marathon had previously replace Bwin in August 2015 who had paid £2.4 million for a three-season deal starting with the 2012-13 season. In March 2015 Bwin launched a Bwin Manchester United Casino which was replace by a Marathonbet casino app, which in turn was replaced by Marathonbet’s Manchester United branded casino app in August 2016.
