The UK Gambling Commission issued warnings to three Premier League clubs—Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Leicester City—regarding the risks of promoting illegal gambling websites on their jerseys. This comes after the regulator halted operations of Stake.uk.com. The clubs are advised to conduct due diligence to ensure that consumers in Britain cannot transact with unlicensed sites. The Commission's investigation unveiled issues surrounding Stake's promotion that could lead to legal consequences for the clubs involved. The Premier League has already decided to end gambling sponsorships on kit fronts by the 2026-27 season.
The Gambling Commission warned Premier League clubs of potential fines or imprisonment for promoting illegal gambling sites, emphasizing due diligence to protect consumers.
The UK Gambling Commission's investigation led to the decision to shut down Stake.uk.com, as it no longer holds a license for operations in Britain.
