Premier League clubs at risk of legal action over unlicensed casino sponsors
- The Gambling Commission warned five Premier League clubs, including Wolverhampton and Burnley, over sponsoring unlicensed casino sites in 2025.
- The warnings followed findings that casinos lost UK licenses in May 2025 but continued accepting UK customers and sponsoring clubs like Leicester City.
- Several clubs remain halfway through sponsorship deals with casino sites that lack licenses and unlawfully accept UK gamblers, risking officer prosecution.
- CEGA director Will Prochaska said it “really wasn't very difficult” to access these sites and criticized the Commission for taking “far too long” to act.
- The events highlight enforcement challenges and legal risks for clubs and underscore ongoing campaign calls to end gambling advertising in football.
