| Gambling sponsors weren’t banned altogether then… on 15:59 - Jun 30 with 1830 views | MattinLondon | So PL clubs can say that they are taking the problems of gambling seriously by not advertising it predominantly on the shirts. But not so seriously, so that they can still rake in sponsorship money from that sector. |  | |  |
| Gambling sponsors weren’t banned altogether then… on 15:59 - Jun 30 with 1827 views | Zx1988 | I agree that it's a fairly naff compromise, but at least the sponsors won't be anywhere near as prominent on the shirts. |  |

Maybe we'll have an official gold huckster sponsor next season too: https://www.theguardian.com/po |  |

I'm surprised that Tismo Geneve haven't reappeared, with their unique take on 'covered market' watches. |  |

I wouldn't buy a replica shirt with a gambling sponsor on the sleeve, as I wouldn't want to promote that industry. |  | |  |

As a Colchester supporter, I have to say the classiest thing about the club is its sleeve sponsor, which is a guitar shop. |  | |  |

I know that gambling isn’t the most savoury of industries but I’m pretty certain that the vast amount of gamblers are able to gamble responsibly. Not looking for an argument but are they really parasites? |  | |  |

Indeed. My issue, which I've shared before, isn't with gambling per se which i think is a personal choice. The issue is the relentless barrage of gambling adverts whenever you attend or watch sport. It means the suggestion/temptation to gamble is ever present. |  |

Yes, I wouldn't want to ban gambling but it needs to be heavily regulated. There's a massive difference between putting a few interest bets on in person at a sporting event and having an app, probably multiple apps, to hand on a phone. That the bookies go to great lengths to ban anyone to successful and keep encouraging the mugs is where the parasitism comes in. |  |

I'm not massively anti-gambling. I have the occasional, very small-stake punt. But I find the way the whole industry is marketing itself nauseating. I hate the whole culture, the ads are almost all offensively cringe. I'd rather go back to fags and booze being the source of most sponsorship, honestly. Let's kick betting back to the days of something you had to do in a smoke-filled shop alongside seedy old men, hoping nobody saw you going in. |  |

As someone who is a compulsive gambler and now almost 8 years bet free I find it absolutely disgusting the way these so called firms are allowed to do what they do. 24/7 in your face, they are targeting people with adduction tendencies. I am willing to do whatever I can to help people now. |  |

It clearly needs tough regulations but that is way OTT. |  | |  |
