The Gambling Commission has issued warnings to Bournemouth, Fulham, Newcastle, Wolves, and Burnley regarding sponsorship deals with TGP Europe, an unlicensed gambling operator. TGP Europe had its UK license revoked due to insufficient checks on business partners and violations of anti-money laundering regulations. The Commission cautioned clubs they might face prosecution for promoting such unlicensed businesses. They are now expected to demonstrate effective measures to prevent consumers from transacting with these sites. This incident highlights the increasing scrutiny on gambling sponsorships in the Premier League.
