Dodgy gambling sponsors in football 16:45 - Mar 30 with 1100 views

I see 8xBet are all over the ad boards at Bournemouth and the ITFC.co.uk still lists them as an official club partner even though clicking on their logo returns a 404 not found error.

Then this:

All rather murky.

Not sure what happened with 8x but TGP Europe have operated in the UK with lots of different brands. I have accounts with 4-5 of them (that can no longer be accessed, obviously).

TGP have a UK gambling licence. The licence for 8x does not show as inactive. The domain shows as inactive. 8x are covered by the TGP licence.

I'm not posting this in support of 8x, I am simply pointing some things out.

Advertising just changed from them to another gambling firm, and then back again etc.

I hate Ed Sheeran's music, and find all the partying in the changing room stuff a bit cringey, but despite that I'm delighted he is our sponsor rather than 'Gambleslag999' or whatever latest tacky gambling outfit is doing the rounds.

Best ever shirt sponsor was Brighton having Skint Records. I'd love us to get something as cool as that, but almost anything is better than gambling.

Cheers for info. Sounds quite a tangled web. Wasn’t sure if 8x are still advertising to reach their Asian markets. It’s all very unsavory.

It is. I noticed they were advertising during the Bilbao/Osasuna game earlier as well.

I've made jokes in the past about about Ed's music and our shirts but as you say, I'd rather him on our kite than some iffy gambling scumbags.

Every ad board a carousel of desperation.
