We examine the new Code of Conduct for Gambling Related Agreements in Football, endorsed by the Premier League, The English Football League, the Women’s Super League and The FA. What will it mean for the relationship between football and gambling sponsors going forward?

The Premier League, EFL, The FA & WSL have agreed to a new code of conduct for betting related sponsorship deals. Taking effect from the start of the 24/25 season the voluntary code has 4 pillars: ⚽️Protection ⚽️Social Responsibility ⚽️Reinvestment ⚽️Integrity Last year all PL clubs agreed to remove betting sponsorship from the front of matchday shirts by the end of the 25/26 season. So far 4 PL clubs have signed 2 year deals which will conclude before these new regs take effect.

During my time at Ampere Analysis, I wrote an article about betting companies sponsoring football, and why this is important for clubs. Please do have a read! https://lnkd.in/eAbcE349

Going Out With A Bang! Despite a voluntary decision to ban front-of-shirt #sponsorship by #gambling companies in the future 2026/2027 season, more than half of England's Premier League clubs are sporting prominent #advertising by #betting and #iGaming firms -- conservatively worth some £60 million-a-year. The decision by the 11 of 20 #EPL clubs to wear the gaming logos follows blue chip William Hill's three-year sponsorship deal with the four-tier Scottish Professional Football League, #SPFL. The moves, not surprisingly, have caused consternation and condemnation by anti-gambling activists. But sponsors stress that both football and gaming are “legitimate and lawful leisure [activities] enjoyed by millions of people". #sportsbetting #Compliance #soccernews #footballnews #gamblingnews #gamblingindustry #integrity evoke Per Widerström bet365 BET365 GROUP LIMITED #iGF #iGamingFuture #insight #thebeautifulgame UEFA Champions League Guy Laurent Epstein Matt Zarb-Cousin #GAMBAN #cleanupgambling Neil Doncaster Stoke City Football Club Aston Villa Football Club Kaizan Betano AFC Bournemouth Dafabet 邓 杰 dj88vip Brentford Football Club Hollywoodbets; Crystal Palace Football Club #Net88 Everton Football Club #Drake Stake Fulham Football Club SBOTOP Leicester City Football Club BC.Game Nottingham Forest Kaiyun Esports Southampton Football Club Rollbit West Ham United FC Betway Group https://lnkd.in/dT5MMry4

🎰 ‘So I must leave, I'll have to go, To The UAE or Monaco, and win a fortune in a game...’ (ABBA, 2024). 🇦🇪 Is the UAE about to become the Middle Eastern hub for gambling, and more specifically, sports betting? 🎲 This week the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) launched its official website, which had up until Sunday been inaccessible to the public. ⚽ Sport betting companies have dominated global sports with major partnerships, from the likes of Stake entering the world of Formula 1 with Sauber Group through to 11 (over half) of the Premier League having betting related front-of-shirt sponsors. With the Premier League stepping away from front-of-shirt sponsors from the end of 2025/26 season, perhaps the UAE will provide a major opportunity for those brands looking to remain relevant in a number of sports the UAE has become a major venue of…. #UAE #SportsPartnerships #MiddleEast #SportBetting #Gambling 💡 On the subject of F1 and ABBA - Did you know, Slim Borgudd, the drummer for ABBA, was also an F1 driver for parts of the 1981 and 1982 season?! 🥁 🏎 https://lnkd.in/e9ZW86-g
