Asian-focused online betting operator TLCBET has been announced as official betting partner of Middlesbrough FC for Premier League season 2016/17.
TLCBET marketing confirmed its ‘Boro’ betting partnership ahead of this weekend’s start of the English Premier League, as newly promoted Middlesbrough take on Stoke City.

We’re delighted to be putting the TLCBET brand on the global stage and we are confident we can promote Boro in Asia….
