Stake no longer has a license to operate in Britain, yet Everton is still advertising its brand on their shirts. Promoting illegal gambling is a criminal offence, but no one appears able to enforce the law. Makes a mockery of the whole regulatory framework!

Revealed: How gambling dominates European football Almost 300 clubs around Europe have betting partners this season, and 1/3 have shirt logos. Some teams exploit loopholes with ‘gateway’ sponsors as campaigners say deals risk pushing more into addiction: investigate-europe.eu/posts/revealed…

The investigation is published with the Guardian today... “The prevalence of gambling money in European football has been laid bare by new research that shows two-thirds of teams across 31 top divisions have at least one betting partner this season.” theguardian.com/football/2025/…

We (Leon Xiao Conor Heath) highlight how Gambling operators are acting against the spirit of Italian law, which aimed to ban all gambling sponsorship in sports How? They simply add a non-gambling suffix (e.g. .NEWS) to the logo Will this occur after the UK front of shirt ban?

My mum was sucked in by a slots venue while undergoing cancer treatment. She'd spend every penny she had there, & often money she didn't have. Councils can't stop these venues multiplying until the laws change. Please sign my petition to make it happen you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop…

The second B365 ad I’ve seen that uses a (generic) ‘hand’ to ‘Clive’. Just to be clear I would never voice or contribute to a gambling ad. It’s not me.

it’s nice, but i can’t help but feel it’s missing a giant front sponsor for a chinese crypto casino which has only been in operation since april 2025 and whose directors have no traceable presence in the UK
