Recommendation 15
15
Paragraph: 85
Require gambling sponsorship code to reduce adverts and mandate more safer gambling messaging.
Recommendation
The withdrawal of gambling sponsorship from the front of Premier League players’ kit is welcome, but it will not significantly reduce the volume of gambling adverts visible during top-flight matches. The Government must work with the Premier League and the governing bodies of other sports to ensure that the gambling sponsorship code of conduct contains provisions reducing the volume of gambling adverts in stadia. The Code should also require that a higher proportion of gambling advertising in stadia is dedicated to independently-developed safer gambling messaging.
