Hopefully Aquis can also be persuaded to sink a few hundred million into a new stadium too. It'd be just across the road from their casino so it'd mean more punters for them

Jersey looks alright, sponsor's logo looks fairly subtle

Thanks @MarkJ, I was wondering who Aquis were and what they did.

Not sure that Casinos/Betting/Gambling companies and sports sponsorship is such a good thing, but then again I loved the Bensen and Hedges World Series Cricket games "Back in the Day" and was never tempted to take up smoking on the back of the huge $ that Tabacco companies poured into sports sponsorship.

I wonder if it will actually say "Aquis" on the front of the jersey's. I suspect it will say "Canberra Casino" instead.

I believe Aquis have plans for some mega-casino up in Queensland too, so they may be interested in promoting the brand name, not just the local casino

Being a Canberra team, I wonder how many punters will think that it is the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service that are the sponsors.

AQIS sounds like Aquis.

Maybe that will mean the Canberra Casino will be re-branded The Aquis Canberra Casino. As I don't think many people could relate the casino to Aquis otherwise. Likewise the QLD mega casino will probably be name the Aquis Resort.

Awesome news for the brumbies, 6 year deal on the major sponsor offers some good security/stability. Good signs from the new CEO.

hopefully this is just a rant by an internet nutter but if some of what this bloke says is true then it might all go a bit Firepower-shaped

Yep, righto -dead, Chinese Government?:

Firepower that owns a Casino! Worth the risk.

That Canberra Casino is an expensive one. It also closes (or at least used to close) at 6am. Those two facts probably aren't mutually exclusive.
