Government to crack down on gambling operator sport sponsorship

Good to know that during every sports game the 87 adverts from drug dealers are licensed and not some unlicensed or shady lobbying billionaire ruining lives type. Thanks Gov!

• Move will prevent unlicensed operators from sponsoring sports clubs, as part of wider measures to tackle illegal gambling market
• Ban would stop illegal firms using Premier League clubs as platform to appeal to British audience
• In addition, a new cross-industry taskforce will bring together social media platforms, banks and law enforcement to protect fans from harm

Unlicensed gambling operators face being blocked from sponsoring British sports teams, including Premier League clubs, as the Government sets out plans to consult on a ban as part of its crackdown on illegal gambling.
