Zona de Azar Reino Unido – Premier League ends Sponsorships with Betting Houses

Reino Unido.-  July 18, 2024 www.zonadeazar.com  The Premier League, the biggest and richest football league in the world, can now end sponsorship agreements with betting houses from the 2026/27 season.

In this way, it only takes two seasons for the teams to establish alliances with companies in the sector.

English aficionados dismantled their ties with the gambling houses

Unlike our country, English fans do not have good eyes on the agreements between sports clubs and clubs.

In 2023, Chelsea renounced its association with Stake after a survey carried out among its fans, which showed that 77% of fans disapproved of the association between the club and the betting house.

The smallest clubs close agreements with the betting houses

Clubs with smaller budgets have taken advantage of this last period to close commercial agreements with companies in the sports sports sector.

Recently, Southampton, a club that recently ascended from the EFL championship, belonging to the second division of English football, partnered with Rollbit, which replaced the other betting house, Sportbet.io, which was São Paulo’s main sponsor until the beginning of the season.

Only three Premier League teams have betting houses as sponsors

In the last season of the Premier League, only three teams collaborated with betting houses. They were:

• Aston Villa (Betano);
• Crystal Palace (Net88);
• Wolverhampton (Debet).

The decision of the Premier League should change the sponsorship scenario

The Premier League decision promises to change the panorama of sponsorships in English football in the coming years.

Meanwhile, the next season starts on August 16th and the teams can also establish commercial associations with companies in the sports sports sector.
