I don’t think there will be an IF, I read somewhere recently that government are looking at the bad example & influence it has on youngsters, lot of bollox really but that’s the pc world we are now in.Wonder if they are waiting in the wings to take the main kit deal if they ban gambling sponsorship
Give it a rest, gambling addiction causes untold misery, nothing pc about itI don’t think there will be an IF, I read somewhere recently that government are looking at the bad example & influence it has on youngsters, lot of bollox really but that’s the pc world we are now in.
Companies that are proven to rake in most of their profits from people with a problem or an addiction. A pity we dropped Allsopp and Allsopp for an identikit gambling company as soon as we got into this league.I don’t think there will be an IF, I read somewhere recently that government are looking at the bad example & influence it has on youngsters, lot of bollox really but that’s the pc world we are now in.
Indeed, but would Frasers+ be that much different? Entice people to spend money they haven't got and then keep them in a cycle of debtGive it a rest, gambling addiction causes untold misery, nothing pc about it

It's not really. Tobacco sponsorship was banned years ago, Alcohol also...I don’t think there will be an IF, I read somewhere recently that government are looking at the bad example & influence it has on youngsters, lot of bollox really but that’s the pc world we are now in.

Historically but not really true now. They don’t want problem gamblers. There’s a lot of work that goes into identifying problem gamblers and preventing them from playing. They want a lot of people who lose a modest amount and then wealthy people happy to lose a lot.Companies that are proven to rake in most of their profits from people with a problem or an addiction.

Would be very pleased if CBS or something similar took it on next season

With gambling the genie is out the bottle. Take alcohol, people aren’t drinking less because they’ve taken it off shirts. People may disagree but it would be tokenism to do it. A proper measure would be to limit U25s to a £50 a week deposit limit. This would mitigate problem habit development at the time they’re most vulnerable and likely to do so.
It's bad PR having a gambling sponsor on a shirt or any association with a football club, so much rather we didn't have any at all.Historically but not really true now.

Statistically a lot less young people drink heavily or at all. Not saying its all down to no advertisement but I'm sure it's a part of it. Just because you can't break the cycle for some doesn't mean you shouldn't for the next generation.Historically but not really true now. They don’t want problem gamblers.

Do you think with alcohol it’s more to do with increased information about health impacts, e.g. alcohol’s impact on mental health? Not saying it is but there’s other variables.Statistically a lot less young people drink heavily or at all. Not saying its all down to no advertisement but I'm sure it's a part of it.

Yep and they’re businesses. There’s a difference and admittedly fine line between that and actively encouraging problem gambling and targeting problem gamblers.I hear you, but then I also recently turned down a job offer at an online casino where my entire role would be supporting getting people gambling more.
Then explain why I still get harrassed by the same companies who happily took thousands of pounds from me 10 years ago. Or why 60% of profits come from 5% of customers? Or the suicides of people who were getting targeted right up to the end.It’s not
I don't think we'll find it hard to attract different sponsors for the most popular sport on the planet.I might be old school but for me personally I don’t see a gambling site on a shirt or on a Sky advert and suddenly feel the need to place a bet.
Same as I don’t see a McDonalds advert and feel the need to eat a burger.
At the same time I understand that I don’t have an addiction to either gambling or eating.
Either way, football and all sports will need to compensate for the loss of income of gambling adverts are banned
What have you done in the first instance?Then explain why I still get harrassed by the same companies who happily took thousands of pounds from me 10 years ago. Or why 60% of profits come from 5% of customers? Or the suicides of people who were getting targeted right up to the end.
It's a scumbag industry.
Christ. That's not the fucking point. Clearly you don't understand addiction at all.I might be old school but for me personally I don’t see a gambling site on a shirt or on a Sky advert and suddenly feel the need to place a bet.
It's an industry that gets most of its profit from people with a problem. According to you that seems to be just fine because it's comparable to a shop or a restaurant. Just watchWhat have you done in the first instance?
Second example is true of every business, and not per se linked to targeting problem gamblers.
Thirdly, horrific and definitely true of the past, but not what is being done now (albeit they could never truly know the welfare of the customer).
Unless you were born in the 14th century I’m not sure how you can claim to be old school when it comes to advertising.I might be old school but for me personally I don’t see a gambling site on a shirt or on a Sky advert and suddenly feel the need to place a bet.
