666Bet has agreed sponsorship deals with six non-league clubs who will appear in this weekend's FA Cup first round, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/. The six - Conference South sides Basingstoke Town, Gosport Borough and Weston-super-Mare; AFC Fylde of the Conference North; Ryman Isthmian Premier team East Thurrock United; and Evo-Stick Northern Premier League Division One South club Norton United - will be known as the '666Bet Super Six'.

The agreements will run until each team is knocked out of the competition, with four of the six wearing 666Bet logos on the front of their playing shirts. Basingstoke Town and Weston-super-Mare will feature the logos on their shorts.

Barry Martin, the chief executive of 666Bet.com, said: "From Premier League to non-league, 666Bet is proud to be involved in football across all levels of the beautiful game. We are looking forward to seeing the '666Bet Super Six' in action this weekend and hope they can pull off a few shocks in the FA Cup first round."

666Bet launched earlier this year and has already hired Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp as a brand ambassador and forged partnerships with Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion.
