Unlicensed gambling companies could lose the right to sponsor Premier League clubs under new government plans. Ministers launched a consultation after a series of controversies and regulatory concerns. Several top-flight teams, including Everton, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently display brands linked to online casinos or bookmakers without a British licence. Clubs have already agreed to remove all gambling logos from the front of shirts after this season. The voluntary ban will not cover sleeve sponsorships or other commercial partnerships. That gap would still allow unlicensed firms to promote their brands through English football. The government now wants to close that…
