We guarantee that Chelsea fans will see a variety of interesting and engaging activities from the partnership over the next three years. And of course, we will fly our blue flag as high as possible!'
As part of the partnership, 1xBet will run a 'Guess the Score' competition throughout the 2019/20 season, offering UK-based fans a chance to win tickets to Chelsea matches, signed club merchandise, and Stamford Bridge Megastore vouchers.
