IFR

Entain urged England’s Independent Football Regulator (IFR) to use existing rules to prevent clubs in the top five divisions from receiving sponsorship money from bookmakers without a UK licence. The company argued that no further legislation or regulatory powers are needed, while clubs can still display gambling brands on shirt sleeves and elsewhere after the planned front-of-shirt logo ban takes effect next season. Entain also linked unlicensed betting promotion to illegal match streams and risks to consumers.
