Aren't betting sponsors being banned in 2026 anyway?

I would be surprised if Halo or MSC are not the next sponsor. Seems the next logical step.

All that does is create a huge void for other state / corrupt / illegal / shell companies to step into.

e.g. some random crypto company with 10 social media followers.

Dodgy betting company 8xBet is still listed as an official club partner on the ITFC website . Clicking their logo brings you to a co.uk page telling you they’re no longer accepting new customers.

I’m sure it’s all totally legit 👀👀

My point is that Ashtons 'rejection' of betting companies isn't the big statement that he makes it out to be.

Ah I see - yes, loopholes like that are part of the cynical side of my OP.

Just look at cricket in Asia. Betting is banned so, in an entirely innocent coincidence, you have sponsors such as DafaNews.

Been told by Mr Sheeran no less that it's Halo

Personally liked the idea of MSC more

Not available to new and existing customers! Weird.

It gets advertised on the ad boards at PR as well and other grounds.

I have a vague recollection of the Club batting it off as just being a Premier League wide sponsor imposed on them.

Stick the company in Google / X for a read all about them, lots of new articles.

Think it’s a Premier League partner more than an independent club partner. Probably something we had to have pushed on us.

These sponsors are all incredibly dodgy. We should be getting rid of all of them from UK football, no exceptions.

Yeah it's not good reading, I just can't find anything about them being a prem partner. only club ones.

He's been very vocal about it, I don't see any way he could not stick to his word.

If/when 8xBet turns out to be another betting-related put-up job, I dare say none of the outlets reliant upon favourable access to ITFC will ask any questions.

There are advertising hoardings at every Prem game with at least one bookmaker from the same overall group so it's very likely true.

I received the following response:

Thank you for your email.

We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch, we are proud to have a fan base that cares deeply about the Club.

When we embark on a new commercial relationship, we always work to ensure that it’s the right fit for the Club, both in reference to the commercial terms and the partner itself. 8xBet work with several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester City, Leicester City and AFC Bournemouth, all of whom like us have done the required level of due diligence.

Kind regards,

**END**

I am unhappy about the club's association with 8xBet. You don't have to look too hard to find information of concern on the internet.
