Betting community OLBG has rolled out a fresh initiative for Dorking Wanderers fans this season, putting the spotlight on supporters and community figures who go the extra mile for the National League South club.

The ‘Wanderer of the Week’ scheme lets fans nominate anyone connected to Dorking Wanderers who deserves recognition, whether that’s for a cracking performance on matchday, a community effort, or simply a memorable moment involving the club. Winners receive OLBG-branded DWFC shirts, and here’s the clever bit: both the nominee and the person who puts them forward get one.

More Than Just the Football

What makes this work is the breadth of it. OLBG isn’t just celebrating goals and assists. They’re looking at the wider picture: volunteers, local supporters, anyone making a genuine contribution to what Dorking Wanderers represents.

It’s a proper community-focused approach, which fits naturally with a club that’s built its identity around fan engagement and grassroots authenticity.

Fans already signed up to OLBG’s dedicated Dorking Wanderers email can submit their nominations directly. The platform also delivers weekly match previews, exclusive video content featuring manager Marc White, and regular competitions offering everything from merchandise to matchday experiences.

Exclusive Access and Prizes

Alongside the weekly recognition scheme, OLBG continues running its broader competition programme through OLBG Prizes. The current headline offering is the Bunch of Amateurs Matchday Insider Experience, which grants access most fans never see.

Winners get to follow the BOA filming crew throughout matchday, watch content creation unfold behind the scenes, stand pitchside during Marc White’s pre-match interview, and view the game from the VIP filming area next to the dugouts. After the final whistle, they can put questions directly to White and potentially a player. Travel support included.

Additional perks for email subscribers include Player of the Month voting access, with automatic entry into prize draws for shirts, tickets, and even the opportunity to present the award itself. There’s also regular behind-the-scenes insight from the dressing room and boardroom, giving supporters a genuine look at how the club operates week to week.

Strengthening the Supporter Connection

The timing makes sense. Dorking Wanderers have built something special in recent years, climbing through the non-league pyramid while maintaining strong ties to their fanbase.

OLBG’s involvement amplifies that connection, creating tangible ways for supporters to engage beyond simply turning up on Saturday afternoon.

For fans wanting to get involved, signing up to the free email service opens the door to all these opportunities. It’s a straightforward way to deepen your connection with the club while potentially landing some proper rewards along the way.

What the team thinks

Baz Hartley says:

Nice to see OLBG investing in grassroots football with something that isn’t about driving sign-ups or deposit requirements. This kind of community sponsorship builds genuine goodwill without the usual strings attached, and frankly more operators should be looking at local engagement that doesn’t involve another welcome bonus with 40x wagering. The cynic in me wonders if there’s a brand awareness play here, but if Dorking fans are getting something tangible without having to opt in or place a bet, that’s a proper community initiative worth recognizing.
