After the news broke that 666Bet owner, Metro Play's gaming license was suspended by the UK Gambling Commission and Alderney Gambling Control Commission, its sponsorship partner, Leyton Orient Football Club, ended its contract.
“Leyton Orient Football Club has terminated their 2014-15 sponsorship deal with 666Bet after the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) temporarily suspended the online gambling license of their licensee Metro Play Limited”, said a statement from the club.
The club will soon announce plans for shirt branding for the remainder of the Sky Bet League One season.
666Bet also has sponsorship deals with Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion, which are still active at the moment.

It seems logical that Leyton Orient FC has terminated their sponsorship deal with 666Bet after the license problems of the online gambling company. But I wonder if they will be able to find a replacement sponsor soon and also the Premiership clubs Leicester City and WBA don't terminated their deals with that company although, on paper it will be much easier for them to find another sponsor because of theirs elite status.
