Shirt sponsorship by gambling companies England possibly banned In England, there is also a chance that shirt sponsorship by gambling companies in the Premier League and Championship, among others, is over. The proposal to ban shirt sponsorship by gambling companies has been considered by the government in England for some time. A ban would be a major blow to the Premier League, as almost half of the clubs have an online casino or bookmaker on their shirts. Football clubs have become very dependent on the sponsorship of online casinos.
English media with casino advertising
According to English media, it may be prohibited in England to have a gambling company as a shirt sponsor. The proposal is part of a complete overhaul of the English gambling legislation. The change is mainly to ensure that the law is suitable for the digital age. The proposal has been enthusiastically received by opponents of advertising by gambling companies. However, they feel that the ban should not only apply to the club at the highest level. Gambling companies also sponsor a lot of matches in the Premier League, but also, for example, in darts. For example, William Hill is always clearly visible.
