Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers?

[harapan]

There is no point for them to do that. What's football if viewers are not gambling? What are their reasons for trying to reduce gambling?
The ads before the match, during halftime and after the match are all gambling ads. Majority of the ads on the light boards are gambling ads, sports betting ads, online casinos.
Aside that, I feel this is not fair to gambling companies. So a beer company can have their name on the front of club jerseys but gambling companies can't?
I just don't see how this is going to reduce the number of people that gamble.

[seleme]

Interesting decision by Premier League representatives but what about back side of the shirt?
I doubt it will cause huge difference before and after this decision, marketing teams still do their best to promote the bookies even if they don't let it on front side of player's shirt. Maybe it will has some effect in the long term, let's see what will numbers show us after few years.

The Premier League have confirmed clubs have voluntarily agreed to remove gambling sponsors from the front of their matchday shirts from the start of the 2025/26 season.

This is a move to try to reduce promotion of gambling in the premier league with it's increasing audience, do you think it can successfully reduce the number of people who gamble? What do you think? Will these gambling platforms not just move to other sports, do you think other sports that wear their sponsors name in England will adopt this new development in the premier league?

I think it won't change even if the players' soccer jerseys are completely abolished, it will only reduce the cost of screen printing on shirts, the rest of the gambling platforms can still sponsor football matches and their platforms appear on billboards next to the football field and I think there are still many ways to advertise the gambling platform in other ways to increase the expansion of advertising within the primary league, if it does have an impact I think in terms of adoption it might be slower but the policy won't affect anything other than that in my opinion.

[maydna]

It can reduce the number of people who gamble but also will not reduce the number of people because if people already know about the match schedule, they will still bet on the team of their choice. Casinos will also continue to provide betting on matches of many sports because they know that people need a place to be still able to bet.

And if you see that people are still going to bet, the casinos or sports betting sites will likely still be around and provide people with betting schedules. And even if it were banned in the UK, people could still use casinos or sports betting sites that originated outside the UK.

Isn't it like, kind of too late? Sponsorships on their shirts were really effective in the past since people only had those (and some minor sources probably) as a source of advertisement, but with how the internet and social media has developed and how people are growing into it, they can probably get away with doing most of it online.

Football fans especially know how there's a lot of gamblers among their midst, and anyone entering the scene would probably get to hear it themselves here and there. I reckon whichever platform used to advertise there would be affected, but only temporarily and shouldn't be that big of an effect itself.

[danherbias07]

The bomb was already planted.
Even if they take out the sponsors' names on the shirts of every player in every sport, the mind of the people already knew where they can put their bets.
Plus, there are other ways to do it. Commercials, advertising, and more. I think they just want to make more money out of these businesses. The payment will be higher for TV channel owners and it would go directly to them instead of paying up the team owner.
Who knows if they are really the ones making all this ruckus about taking it out of their shirts so that the profits will be for them only?
If these gambling businesses are not doing commercials anymore, there's none coming in for them but they cannot blame them, it's a different world now with streaming services available.

[PX-Z]

Not at all, any kind of stopping of promotions on some platform cannot stop or even reduce the people who gamble. That's not effective as what it is.
Remember the banning of bitcoin advertisement in Google and Facebook or even on all of the social media sites? Besides people get more interested about it, then later get another ATH.

Just like that, even those who are aware of their gambling activity as a hobby, entertainment or addiction cannot affect that mere reducing of promotion or visibility of these "gambling company" in the public.

This is only one event it will have no impact at all unless they restrict gambling in their country, but a restriction on gambling promotions will not reduce the number of people gambling, gamblers will be looking for casinos to play online or offline whether there's a promotion or no promotion.
The ones that will suffer are new casino platforms but old gambling platforms they are already established their brand for easy recall among gamblers.

[livingfree]

Nope.

Most casinos that have been advertising through the "front" shirt have already capitalized the popular of the teams they're sponsorsing. And it won't reduce the number of gamblers that have been gambling already but instead could potentially just slow down the growth but not the reduction of gamblers.

The exposure can be reduced but that doesn't mean that there's no other way that the audiences won't see those logos throughout the matches from the PL.

[qwertyup23]

Not gonna affect people.

People still gonna gamble, especially in "Football" which generated the most revenue on gambling. As you can see, even in the World Cup on QATAR with most religions countries.

Gambling revenue comparing 2018 world cup has just increase 13% without any betting sponsor.

Though it will not have that much impact, I think it is still a fair move for the league to implement this kind of prohibition to limit gambling sponsors. Though I do agree that this kind of implementation is just a "front" in order to boost their image to the public but it will not affect anything at all.

If the league is really concerned in addressing the issues with gambling, then they must implement measures that will indeed remove any kind of gambling sponsorship on their advertisements or promotions.

[QueenVera]

Well this is gambling and anything can actually happen at anytime.
But I also don't think that removing gambling sponsors from the front if their match day shirt will really stop people or reduce the number of persons who bet or gamble on English premier League, tis is because this is one tod the biggest leagues and people are already anticipating this matches and we all know that this is one period that bit the gambler ls and also the casino and gambling houses make alot of money and the awareness and consciousness to gamble is already there  but I think it will also reduce the sponsorship of this casinos in the forthcoming premier League.

[decodx]

Personally, I don't think this move will really work in reducing the number of people who gamble. Sure, it's a good thing they're trying to cut down on promoting gambling in the Premier League because more and more people are watching it, but the demand will still be there. The gambling platforms will probably just move on to other sports or try to reach their audience in other ways.

I've always believed that the front of any football team's jerseys is much prettier when it only has your club crest on it and nothing else.
Likewise, the upper part of the back should only contain the player's name, followed by the number and an advertisement below it.
The others, should come in the sleeves of the shirts, only.

About reducing the promotion to gambling, I doubt it, because the advertisements that are released on the sides of the field have much more visibility and impact (when well elaborated on the electronic panel) than those static images on the players' shirts.

Removing gambling adverts from matchday shirts doesn't necessarily mean total removal gambling sponsored adverts on players' shirts, only the matchday shirt will not carry casino adverts, but then this will reduce the level of the advert visibilities greatly since not all fans will watch the training sections that the advert are allowed, but the whole world will watch premier league match and that is the best exposure for those casinos.

Well since this has become the case, it. Will become necessary for those casinos to look else were to promote the platforms with fewer restrictions, I think the move is in line with government policy to reduce gambling exposure mostly among those under age who may find football an interesting sport to watch.

Less gambling sponsorship means less exposure for the casinos so yes it should reduce the number of new gamblers visiting their casino when EPL is one of the most watched leagues.

But like what goldkingcoiner said, there are still ways for casinos to partner up with EPL teams though so that upcoming change in sponsorship might not be that significant.

Instead of moving, they'll just try to expand as they can still get some exposure in the EPL even though they're not the main sponsor and possibly spend the remaining budget with another team.

[Eternad]

This is a move to try to reduce promotion of gambling in the premier league with it's increasing audience,

Probably they are doing this to make the essence of the sports emphasize rather the betting itself. Premier League probably realized that spectators usually focus on gambling rather than the sports itself due to their bets.

do you think it can successfully reduce the number of people who gamble? What do you think? Will these gambling platforms not just move to other sports, do you think other sports that wear their sponsors name in England will adopt this new development in the premier league?

Nope, it can’t decrease the number of people gambling since the Premier League match is not the place which gambling advertise their company. Online bookie is already widespread online and a simple act like this won’t affect the general economy of gambling industry.

About other sports. It’s due to the management discretion whether they will follow but I think they will not since sponsorships is what makes the franchise profitable to run in long term.

[Poker Player]

 

Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers?

I think not,

Not gonna affect people.

Meh, there will still be ways for organizations to promote gambling.

It would not have much on an impact in the amount of concurrent gamblers in our society,

I also think this will not create any difference in gambling.

It will lessen the exposure of gambling platforms but I do not think that it will have an effect to the gambling industries.

Nope its not, people will gamble even if they would not see those adds on their shirts since as long as they can see a opportunity to place a bet on their favorite team and there's a platform exist where they can do that they continue to gamble.

I agree with these fellas that it won't have much of an impact, if at all. In the end I think that gambling ads will be like tobacco ads, which will be banned around the world, although people will continue to smoke and gamble.If the public authorities wanted to, they could ban smoking and gambling, and although this would increase the black market, it would greatly reduce the number of smokers and gamblers. In the end, I see these measures as part of an overall policy of demonization of activities that is complemented by high taxes.

[Strongkored]

Isn't the ban only on the front of the player's costume? meaning that it can still be included in other parts such as the arm or the back and also this regulation will take effect in 2026/2027 meaning that there will still be plenty of time for clubs and sponsors to determine the steps for this ban. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12856367/premier-league-clubs-agree-to-withdraw-gambling-sponsorships-on-front-of-shirts
But is it possible to reduce people from gambling? I don't think so because they will still get information from many things, and the old match videos that are still circulating will also allow many people to see the sponsors of the gambling site.
Of every step taken to reduce gambling, it will not work 100% perfectly unless the government or the internet shuts down permanently, although they can still gamble at offline casinos or bet with friends when matches are held.

[gantez]

If the decision to remove gambling companies ad from front page of jersey, it will have some effect on it because the increase to gambling is because the ads is in face of everyone. There is reason and difference of front page ads and back page. If the price for front page ads and back page ads is not the same, the effect will not be the same.

In truth, the increase in viewership in the Premier League is not all related to sports betting, but to the number of fans of football teams playing.
This is only natural, considering that after the Covid19 pandemic all activities are allowed, so football lovers flock to watch the matches of their proud team.
Maybe the number of gamblers is increasing rapidly especially in sports betting, but not all of them will watch live games because they prefer to watch Livestreaming and still be able to monitor what they are betting on.
By the way, sports betting is gaining more and more interest among gamblers, especially football.
