I think that more statements from the article must be added
"To assist clubs with their transition away from shirt-front gambling sponsorship, the collective agreement will begin at the end of the 2025/26 season."
Premier League clubs will be allowed to secure new gambling sponsorship for the front of shirts until the ban commences.
Current sponsorship deals with gambling companies can remain in place for the next three years too.
It is understood that gambling brands can feature in other areas, which include shirt sleeves and on advertising hoardings, beyond the 2025-26 campaign.
That means it's still safe to for the club to wear shirt-front gambling sponsorship until three years later. It's quite clear that if the new regulation is still allowing gambling sponsorship to advertise their service but in the different area of shirt.
I will add more.
Carolyn Harris, the chair of the Gambling-Related Harms All-Party Parliamentary Group, believes shirt sponsorship by betting companies "normalises" gambling for children, and that gambling sponsorship in sport in all its forms should - and would - be banned. it seems like that KYC may be very useful to protect children from gambling.
It seems like that KYC will be playing a very important role to prevent the children to play gambling. I see no solution other than implementing KYC. That will be enough to prevent children to gambling rather than fully banning gambling sponshorships.
