Dutch clubs prepare for 1 July ban on gambling sponsorship
The Netherlands is due to prohibit gambling sponsorship of sports clubs and venues from 1 July 2025, the final stage of its online gambling advertising restrictions. AZ has named AFAS Software as the replacement for Kansino from the new season; Roda JC said it remains content with its decision not to take a gambling sponsor, while Almere City said it would not replace the amount paid by One Casino.
Clubs losing gambling sponsors may need to replace sponsorship income as the ban takes effect.
