BHA says UK racing should be exempt from gambling advertising restrictions
British horse racing does not expect advertising restrictions to apply to the sport, British Horseracing Authority communications director Greg Swift said at a BHA event. Chief executive Brant Dunshea said any new rules should target illegal gambling operators; the BHA cited racing’s reliance on sponsorship, media rights and the betting levy.
Any advertising restrictions could affect racing’s sponsorship and other betting-linked income.
