Entain urges football regulator to act on unlicensed gambling sponsorships
Entain has asked the Independent Football Regulator to act against English football sponsorship deals involving unlicensed gambling operators. The government has said it plans to propose rules limiting such sponsorships to Gambling Commission-licensed companies, but its planned spring consultation had not taken place; Entain wants action before the season starts in August.
A change could affect which gambling companies may sponsor English football clubs.
