Premier League teams using schoolboy players to promote gambling sites
It said the animated figures, bright colours and motifs from children’s fiction meant the promotions for Rainbow Riches – which included a leprechaun – Fishin’ Frenzy and Lucky Wizard ‘were likely to be of particular appeal to under-18s’. EFL clubs would be exempt altogether on the grounds that the estimated £40m loss of annual income would be catastrophic for lower league clubs. Any voluntary ban on gambling sponsorship would only apply to front-of-shirt deals, so sleeve and training kit sponsorship from the betting industry would continue to be permitted.
The ban was lifted two months later, but the league said such will be subject to scrutiny from an independent panel to ensure they reflect a “fair market value” and are not a means of distorting revenue to allow for greater spending under Financial Fair Play rules. City finished 10th in the Premier League in the first season of Mansour’s ownership, then fifth and third, before famously winning the competition in 2012 with a memorable 3-2 win over QPR, including two stoppage time goals, edging out rivals Manchester United.
A clear example of this would be the use of logos on sports’ shirts.’ ‘More needs to be done to protect children from the risks of gambling, and sports clubs need to consider their responsibility.’ The Industry Group for Responsible Gambling code requires that ‘gambling operators do not allow their logos or other promotional material to appear on any commercial merchandising which is designed for use by children. The study by Glasgow University warns that such adverts are luring vulnerable children and adults into gambling.
But since Labour relaxed betting legislation there have been 75 deals in which gambling firms have plastered their logos on the chests of football stars. The watchdog said the changes would make it quicker and easier to take action over breaches such as misleading promotions and bonus offers, as well as unreasonable restrictions on withdrawals of winnings. ‘We have concerns about (that) but what we want to do is keep working with the club to make sure that they are doing what they need to do to help increase visibility.
We understand a lot of work still needs to be done.’ ‘We understand everyone’s views and there are times that those of certain countries aren’t going to sit easy with people,’ said United With Pride secretary Mark Betham.
