Own Goal for Winamax As Bordeaux FC Severs Partnership After Twitter Gaffe

Social media can be a precarious place, a mistimed tweet or ill-judged Facebook post can be seen by millions of people the second it hits the internet. This has often landed people and companies in hot water and one of the latest organisations to join that club is French poker operator Winamax.

Around six months ago, the company became a partner with French football side FC Girondins de Bordeaux. It was a relationship that was due to last three seasons, however that was cut short following a diatribe of tweets by Winamax ridiculing the on-field misfortunes of the club.
