New Government Rules Mean No More Gambling Sponsorship

[jossiel]

Well, these gambling sponsorships are the ones that interest more players to play and even makes the league better. As far as I know, the whole league has this huge profit because this gambling sites contributes to it, it is their massive contribution the reason why this league is also having a massive profit. Why would they remove that?

Since there are a lot of rich people that gains from this, I also think that this will not happen.

Sponsorships from gambling services or websites are bringing contributions to one's team. With the easy type of sponsorship for these clubs, they don't have to do that much yet they get money just for the exposure.

They don't want to enforce gambling and being viewed by their audiences but aren't they aware that there was a lot of sportsbooks that are putting their leagues and matches to have something to bet on?

Simply stupid if you ask me.

Allowing some companies to sponsor and blocking others has nothing to do with fairness. That same fairness that sports are supposed to promote!

Who's there to say what company can be displayed on uniforms and what cannot be? This should be decided by the team not some government asshole.

Government has intervene with the law they will impose, it's not up to the teams now to decide about it, and I believe this new Government rules is for the entire league, not on a certain team alone.

If that gives a bad effect on the club owners, shirts sponsorships, they can object to the government and send the letter about that, so the government can modify the regulations that will not be harmful to the club owner. But if the government still on their decision, the club owner and the shirts sponsorship can not do anything except following what the government wants. We hope the government can hear the club owner asking to find a solution together, which is not make some side get the effect.

Unfortunately the government does not serve the club owner, it serve the people and by saying people, that's more than the number of the club owners, this regulation is for the people, maybe not so favorable for the club owners, but it is what it is, that's the changes that needs to be accepted.

Not the best time for this kind of news, many sports rely on sponsorship it's added revenue and good advertising for a gambling site they thrive on that and this has proven to works and benefits both industry, they should oppose this and try to appeal this, it's been handed without consultation, which should be the case if they want to implement new rules, they did not see it's bad impact for both parties.

Indeed. Other people thinks that sponsorship is just a little thing to run some sports, yet little do they know that it is the main fund source of many teams plus some income from gambling that uses the sports games as well. This would really be bad once implemented as it might decrease the chance of certain teams to play more as they wouldn't have any more profit with it, and would have also impact drastically the gambling space.

Correct, big leagues can depend on the sponsorship that they get from their TV rights to sustain a great deal of their expenses, but small leagues depend very heavily on the attendance they get directly in the stadium, things that they sell at the stadium, like food, beer or memorabilia and they depend very heavily on the sponsorship that they get from the gambling industry, if the government denies those kind of leagues the right to accept that sponsorship many teams and even whole sports could probably disappear.

I think there's no harm on banning t-shirt sponsorship, just maybe a little, unless there's a lot more behind that t-shirt sponsorship. Sponsorship is just a little token of gratitude for a certain team because they are doing great and give nice profits to the sports betting agencies. But I guess the government is just too paranoid to even ban such sponsorship, I mean there's no merit on doing so. They should confront first the betting agency regarding to this matter because they might just want tax in order to increase their benefits in every gambling platform.

Maybe that is the government's reason to protect their people. We could hope that besides making that regulation to the club owner, the government can announce to their people about the danger of playing gambling, and will give punishment to their people if they caught playing gambling on the illegal casino. I think that can make their people think twice to gamble, which may reduce the gambling activity in that country.

Or this is just a Movement so the gambling operators will lobby and offer more under the table amount ?
we knew how gambling becomes the Milking Pot of the bad government people specially those who have been elected locally .
I use to work in government and i knew how they take money from the gambling operators.

They are paranoid because they realize that there's a possible risk of a betting site sponsoring a certain league, it's all about its credibility and on how it promote the gambling nature in a certain sports, some countries do allow gambling but they always put some limitation, and that includes this example.

I guess this is the limitation you are talking but you know it has a big impact on the league, it's millions of money lost because of the government regulation, but then again, they can protest because this regulation does not literally stop their operation, it just limit the profitability on their side.

A lot of sportsbooks to be exact and as long as there are a lot of them available online, I don't think their goal to lessen or minimize the addiction of the gamblers there. These sponsorships are just one of those legs that keep the league running, taking those off might not stop the league but people will still see the effect on it.

They are so focused on what they are seeing and not knowing the root of the problem.

Yes, everything is for the purpose of taxation. When some form of pressure is provided automatically the Betting agencies will take necessary steps. Sponsorships were the major revenue source for the teams. In recent days more number of cryptocurrency accepted gambling sites too got into the sponsoring of different leagues. Governments try to make revenue, same is the Betting agencies. This doesn't gonna stop people from gambling.

They only acted now so probably they are seeing some problem, maybe we did not see the complete reason in the article shared but there should be a serious reason on why this law or rules was approved and implemented or will be implemented.

I don’t get what the government achieves by doing this?Maybe they are trying to lower the exposure to gambling from fans and television fans but this will not be effective.The majority of gamblers are from the internet and not from tv ads.The only impact this will have is lowering the yearly revenues for many teams,not a great move by the government.

Even government suspended or make a law to vanish gambling sponsorship to be aired on their national media televison still the promotion for gambling can be done in any kind of social media platform that we have nowadays. And im fact even if gambling businesses didn't promote their games in a television gamblers were still a gambler and they will make a way to become a partly member of the said gambling that they were being entertain and attracted even without sponsorship.

The power of social medias are far better than anything now, it can reach everyone who knows and understand how to use the internet, the influence that it can take are very wide.

This action may affect to some point but entirely those gambling house can continue without any interference as long as they have the authorizations/permits they can continue to work using  other platforms to advertise.

More on individuality effects. if sponsorship will limit for both players and teams.

I don't really think this is the case, a great deal of the money that sport clubs get come from gambling sponsorship, there are clubs that are so rich that they do not really need that money and they do not have any kind of advertisement on their T-shirts or they can put advertising for beneficial causes like charities, but the majority of sport clubs cannot really afford this luxury, and when we add that the pandemic has really caused financial troubles for them because they cannot allow as many people as before into their stadiums this is a measure that could severally affect their ability to keep themselves in business.

The decision to come up with rules like this when the entire sporting market is suffering from huge financial loss is absurd, these advertisement revenue is going to the government as taxes and then the live audience revenue is not there for over a year and even the rich Arab owned Chelsea and Manchester City are feeling the heat and some of the clubs are desperate and these kind of hurdle by the government will not help anyone either.

This is yet another case of overregulation, we understand that laws are necessary but it is important to not put too many unnecessary laws in place or they will just create inconveniences to businesses for no reason at all, trying to ban gambling sponsorship is a mistake, will this reduce gambling addiction? No, so why ban it? They are reducing one of the few sources of revenue that clubs have at the moment, and we must remember that sports is a huge industry all over the world so not only they are reducing their profitability they need to think of all the jobs that will be lost if the do this especially in a moment where everyone is trying to keep their job no matter what.

Who's there to say what company can be displayed on uniforms and what cannot be? This should be decided by the team not some government asshole.

Sponsorship has been with sports ever since, they go together it's part of commercialism and commercialism in sports is what helps to keep the team moving and keeping the team together and paying the services of their players and staffs, this is indeed a stupid decision by the government.

Stupid things happened and this is one of those decision.

Sponsorship is indeed should depend from the team who will carry the name/brand of business, it should be freely worn by the players
or teams from the managements perspectives. Government should implement taxes instead of preventing business to reach more  possible
participants.

I think that behind all this there is some kind of reticence among the elites, and the information about the possible ban on gambling advertising is spread in order to influence someone's decision. No matter what they say, I don't believe that the government is concerned about the financial well-being or mental health of its citizens.

Arent they seeing the possible benefit that they could get if they would just let them be and just imposed some additional taxes with it? For sure teams and management

would really deal out with this set-up rather than on imposing restriction about sponsorship and just like what been said that teams do need up these things on somehow
and add up for them to sustain knowing that there expenses which are needed to be paid off and having these sponsors would able
to patch it up somehow.

How government did really come up into this conclusion? Are they out of their minds?
