ntain is providing customers of its global gaming brands with new media content, promising special access which Formula 1 fans can only enjoy through its PartyCasino and partypoker brands.
This marks a further stage in the partnership between McLaren F1 and Entain’s Party brands, which began at the start of this year’s F1 season. International TV ads will run from now to the end of the season in mid-December, initially in the UK, promising customers special access to the McLaren F1 team through PartyCasino and PartyPoker.
In a similar way to the “Drummers” campaign ads launched ahead of the Euros earlier this year by Ladbrokes, Entain’s UK sports-betting brand, the new PartyCasino ads focus on mass entertainment experiences for customers and the thrill of big sports events.
Paris Anatolitis, Managing Director of Party Brands and Commercial Director of Entain, said: “We want Party to be a destination for customers around the world who enjoy games and sharing experiences around the sports and activities they love. This is about creating recreational content which encourages people to take a look and explore new ways of enjoying themselves with our brands.”

The new campaign coincides with a range of new offers, available via the McLaren F1 access pages on the PartyCasino and partypoker websites. These include:
Super Fan competitions: Inviting fans to answer questions that test their knowledge of F1. The latest Super Fan quiz invites customers to match pictures of F1 race cars with the date they raced. Fans can see how they score against others on a leaderboard, competing for a prize, on this occasion a McLaren F1 helmet.
See the Unseen: A new video, lifting the lid on the people behind McLaren Racing, is also released this week featuring McLaren Racing CEO, Zak Brown. This is the second in a series of exclusive McLaren interviews, led by McLaren F1 driver Daniel Riccardo. Next month there will be further “See the Unseen” videos, featuring the McLaren F1 pit crew and its engineering team, ahead of a second featuring Daniel Riccardo expected in December.
Exclusive free-to-play McLaren F1 games: Entain plans to launch a first exclusive free-to-play racing game built around McLaren F1 available only on its Party brands next month, which sees Grand Prix events taking place in Mexico and Brazil. Entain has itself built the new game, with design input from McLaren F1 on the cars, to put fans into the driving seat with challenges to overcome once on the track.
This is the first year in a multi-year partnership between Entain and McLaren F1, with both companies promising further exclusive content and experiences for fans in 2022.
