Gamebookers, the global online betting and casino company has offered £30,000 to the eventual winner of the Wimbledon’s women’s singles competition in response to Wimbledon organizers defiance in awarding equal prize money to men and women.
The £30,000 set aside by Gamebookers will make up the shortfall to take women’s prize money to £655,000, equal to that of the Men’s competition.
Luke Brill, Global Marketing Director said, “We were amazed that Wimbledon should take such an outdated view on equal prize money. The possibility of action by women’s tennis players could devalue the quality and enjoyment of the tournament for all. There is little we can do to influence policy decisions of the organizers, however if we can redress the pay balance then it’s possible we can keep the Women’s competition truly competitive.”
Gamebookers is one of Europe’s Leading online gaming portals offering both sport betting and casino . In a recent analysis of its customer base, tennis was the second most popular sport for gambling behind football.
