PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Football: Gambling (8 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with Premier League clubs on gambling sponsorship on their websites.

Asked by:
Dr Beccy Cooper (Labour)

Answer

All major sporting bodies, including the Premier League, have published their gambling sponsorship Codes of Conduct, setting minimum standards for socially responsible gambling sponsorships. As part of the Code of Conduct, clubs must ensure that no gambling sponsor logos or other promotional materials relating to gambling sponsorship appear on sections of their website which are designed to be viewed and used specifically by children. The Premier League’s decision to ban front-of-shirt sponsorship by gambling firms will also commence by the end of the 2025/26 season.

The Department will closely monitor the implementation of the Codes to ensure they have a meaningful impact.
