MARKETING FIRST FOR MY BOOKIE
Getting noticed on the silver screen
Costa Rican based sportsbook MyBookie has scored a marketing coup in online
gambling...it has signed an exclusive product placement agreement with Warner
Brothers for the upcoming film 'Lucky You,' starring Drew Barrymore and Robert
Duvall.
The agreement makes provision for the MyBookie website to be
prominently featured in the film and within the storyline. The movie features
a college student who hits it big online then turns his sights to Las Vegas, where
he tries to beat the odds in a quest for the world championship. Eric Bana and
comedienne Debra Messing also star.
"This is definitely a first
for our industry, and we are currently looking at a variety of potential partnerships
within the television and music industry," says Mike Nichols, founder of
MyBookie.com. "We see our products really as an extension of the entertainment
industry as a whole."
In business since 1997 MyBookie is a fast
growing gaming site on the Internet, and recently announced the upcoming launch
of its newly developed brand NINE, slated for July. In addition to providing bet
facilities on a multitude of sports, news, financial, entertainment and political
wager options it also offers online casino action on BlackJack, Poker, Roulette,
slots, craps and other casino games.
