The Premier League have confirmed clubs have voluntarily agreed to remove gambling sponsors from the front of their matchday shirts from the start of the 2025/26 season.
This is a move to try to reduce promotion of gambling in the premier league with it's increasing audience, do you think it can successfully reduce the number of people who gamble? What do you think? Will these gambling platforms not just move to other sports, do you think other sports that wear their sponsors name in England will adopt this new development in the premier league?
If only to reduce the type of gambling promotion, it still makes sense especially to prevent teenagers from gambling. but to reduce the number of people who gamble, it seems something that will be a long debate. why, because, we are no strangers to gambling, in fact there are many media that can be a place of promotion for gambling. for example, what we most often encounter related to gambling promos is on the internet. whether it's from site advertisements, applications, social media, YouTube, everything can be a promotional tool for casino business people.
So, the question is, is what the Premier League management is doing a good idea or solution, of course not at all. after all, they just said "voluntarily" well, is this obligatory. if we refer to the keyword "voluntary" it means, can be followed or not. one more thing, i agree with what @goldkingcoiner said. that is, the clubs sponsored by the casino, can put the casino's name behind the back, or wherever it is, except for the front.
