Rangers’ new front-of-shirt sponsorship with Kindred Group cements British football’s longest running partnership
- The Rangers-Kindred relationship first began 10 years ago in 2014
- Unibet and Zero% Mission branding are the primary front of shirt sponsor for all four kits – with sister brand 32Red supporting the club as the Training and Warm Up Kit Sponsor
- EPIC Risk Management Gambling and money management workshop made available to all Rangers players.
- Unibet continues to be the only operator to include a responsible gambling message on its front-of-shirt branding
- As part of the agreement, Kindred has renewed its funding of men’s mental health initiative – Team Talk – which will be delivered by the Rangers Charity Foundation
Kindred Group – home to Unibet and 32Red brands in the UK – has agreed a substantial new front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with Rangers FC, cementing the partnership as the longest running in British football.
Kindred have already partnered with Rangers for 10 seasons, significantly investing into the club’s outreach work in the local community. The partnership will continue to fund Rangers Charity Foundation’s delivery of Team Talk – a men’s mental health initiative. Team Talk leverages the club and its players, manager and staff as a mechanism to engage with men about their mental well-being.
The Group’s Unibet brand will adorn first team shirts while 32Red – which was the previous front-of-shirt sponsor – will continue to support the club as Training and Warm Up Kit Sponsor.
“Zero% Mission”, which is Kindred’s Responsible gambling message, will also appear on the new shirts which are available now. Kindred remains the only gambling operator to feature safer gambling messaging on front-of-shirt advertising in the UK.
Part of the company’s ‘Journey towards Zero’, Kindred’s Zero% Mission represents the brand’s ambition to reach 0% of its revenue derived from harmful gambling. It is based on educating fans and players about the tools available to keep gambling safe and enjoyable – and to signpost where to go if there are problems.
Sam Mead, General Manager UK, Kindred Group, said: “Kindred’s partnership with Rangers is British football’s longest running and one of the most impactful. Rangers are a club with a rich history, who have a passionate and loyal fanbase – so we are delighted to be partnering with the team once again.
We join the supporters in wishing the team the very best in the ongoing season – together, we hope we can make it another successful one.
“We recognise that we are in the privileged position to support clubs and their communities – a responsibility we take very seriously. That’s why since we began working with Rangers, the basis of the partnership has always been to showcase the Rangers Charity Foundation’s wide-ranging work that is so important – including the men’s mental health initiative Team Talk. This fantastic work will continue over the course of our latest partnership.”
Rangers Chief Commercial Officer, Karim Virani, commented: “Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted to extend our longstanding partnership with the Kindred Group. This partnership is the longest running of its kind in British football – and has helped the club enormously over what will be 15 years at the end of the deal we’ve announced today.
“Most importantly, we’d like to thank them for continuing their vital support of the club’s Foundation – especially through the Team Talk mental health initiative. The health and wellbeing of our local community is very important to ourselves and Kindred. We are all looking forward to the opportunity to continue driving forward new initiatives that will benefit both our supporters and the people of Glasgow.”

Jackpot.com Launches in Colorado Providing Consumers Mobile Lottery Access Across the Centennial State
Today, Jackpot.com, the online platform and app that allows individuals to safely and securely order official state lottery tickets and scratchers from their mobile phone and other devices, announced its launch in Colorado. On the heels of the Colorado Lottery’s 40th anniversary last year, the Centennial State will feature both draw games and Scratchers (digital scratch off games).
With Jackpot.com, Colorado players can instantly buy tickets for nationwide games such as Mega Millions and Powerball, as well as their favorite state lottery games, including Cash 5, Pick 3, Lucky 4 Life, and more. The innovative platform purchases tickets on behalf of its customers from an official state lottery retailer, displaying a scan of their ticket and transferring winnings under $600 in real-time to their account. For prizes greater than $600, Jackpot.com securely delivers the ticket to the winning player so they can collect the winnings from the Colorado Lottery.
“At Jackpot.com, we remain committed to growing the safe and secure access to the lottery across the country and we could not be more excited to add Colorado as our seventh state,” said Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder, Akshay Khanna. “Last year, the Colorado Lottery reached $4 billion in proceeds and they give back millions of dollars each year to state parks, schools, and various projects. They’re also notably invested in responsible gaming, which has been a staple at Jackpot.com since its inception. We can’t wait to become part of the Colorado community and provide an accessible and reliable lottery experience for players.”
Not only will Colorado residents have access to their favorite state lottery games, they’ll also have access to Scratchers – the digital scratch ticket offering focused on expediting the convenience and the processing times of scratch-off games. Jackpot.com will launch with five of the most popular scratchers in Colorado, including $3,000,000 Supreme, Casino Ca$h Chips, $250,000 ORO, and more. Customers simply have to “scratch” their device screen with their finger or mouse to reveal their scanned ticket and potential winnings. Jackpot.com delivers the industry’s fastest online lottery scratch card experience after undergoing a comprehensive business process review by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), which ensures its method for ordering and processing lottery scratch tickets is accurate and functions as expected for both Jackpot.com and the player.
This year marks the Colorado Lottery’s fourth consecutive year generating a new sales record, amassing over $900 million in revenue. This year’s success translates to more than $196 million in funds allocated to beneficiaries throughout the state. Since its first ticket sale in 1983, the Lottery has allocated over $4.2 billion to good causes across the state.
Jackpot.com has continued to raise the bar for responsible gaming through the integration of modern conveniences and safety guardrails, one of the key distinctive features of digital lottery platforms. The company has significantly invested in responsible gaming protections by allowing customers to set spend limits, setting default limits on daily deposits, providing access to local and national responsible gambling resources, self-exclusion, self-suspension and automated notifications that offer help should problematic behavior be detected. Jackpot.com is the only lottery courier service to launch with iCap certification from the National Council on Problem Gambling.
