    Betdaq are a pretty high-profile company to be sponsoring a League One club so this is reasonably impressive from the commercial team

    Or most clubs (quite rightly) wouldn't touch a betting company with a barge pole.

    Yet another own goal by the regime.
    Hardly, there are loads of these betting type companies sponsoring clubs. I bet the Stoke fans don't mind that they're bankrolled by the money from Bet365

    I'd love a Charlton kit like the Leeds one last season (i.e. no sponsors and just a plain retro type)

    just checked on sunderland website @Sir Chrissy and you can only purchase a plain sunderland shirt for kids so no sponsor at all on it, would imagine this is the rule with betting companies as there sponsered by dafabet.

    Same with Blackburn

    You say most clubs but half the Premier League has a betting company/online casino as a sponsor now.

    Bournemouth, Palarse have Mansion
    Burnley and Sunderland have Dafabet
    Leicester have King Power
    Stoke have bet365
    Swansea have BetEast
    Watford have 138.com
    West Brom have uk-k8.com
    West Ham have Betway

    It's where the money is, clearly.

    BETDAQ seem to be intermediaries rather than a place you stick £10 on Hazard to be the first goalscorer

    Well all I can say is well done CARD and the protests. Seems the fan protests might have put off some other more natural Charlton partners and perhaps BETDAQ and their ilk was the easiest (only) best option.

    I think it's pretty much the only options they have left. The club doesn't currently employ a Commercial Manager to build these commercial partnerships (they keep resigning for some reason), they've seen a large withdrawal from traditional fan-influenced companies who want nothing to do with this regime or provide support and backing to it (other than Swisdom and ITRM it seems), and the wider knowledge throughout the game that this is a toxic club would naturally put off most national companies.

    So they are left with commissioning an agency to find a partner for a nice fee / percentage, which more than likely will be a gambling or money lending company as those companies are keen to buy up the exposure, not really worried about fan opinion (and potentially gain access to a large amount of potential customers, whether that is through the sharing of contact details / mailing list, or driven by offers on club output to its mailing list)

    Be careful when returning anything to club this year / making online entries that there's no small print box about sharing with official partners

    Ha, ha here we go again, it wouldn't matter if the Pope was sponsoring our shirts, you'd still find something to moan about or spin it to your advantage!

    SHG, I'm surprised at you, you are one of the more sensible posters on here, but we only have BETDAQ as a sponsor because of CARD and the protests, that's laughable!

    I very rarely gamble, but this company are sponsoring us for three years which in L1 is probably better than most. Thanks BETDAQ for the money and yes, lets hope it does help us get back to the Championship!

    http://www.sportsrevolution.co.uk/premier-league-clubs-turn-to-gambling-companies-as-big-name-brands-leave-game/

    This was from last season
    Premier League sides are turning to a slew of betting companies for sponsorships as lower-tier clubs struggle to pique interest of big-name brands. There are now eight betting companies sponsoring Premier League teams including bet365 sponsoring Stoke City; Watford sponsor 138.com and TLCbBet sponsoring West Brom. The betting companies are replacing well known consumer brands that previously adorned the shirts of some of the lower tier Premier League clubs:

    You obviously don't support the protests.

    even more reason not to buy an official shirt in my opinion. Personally, I have always despised those clubs that have gambling site names on their shirts because they are effectively promoting gambling to kids and getting kids who wear the shirts to promote gambling for the betting companies. Fortunately in our case we have the perfect scapegoats to focus the blame on and be able to still love the team and club. I guess every cloud has a silver lining as they say.

    Funny thing is that smoking brands are a big taboo thing to advertise, as they ruin lives and make you ill, however betting firms are embraced with open arms. Nothing against casual betting but gambling addiction is a growing problem in the UK and the sexing up of betting shows no sign of slowing down.

    Of course nobody is holding a gun to people's head to have a bet.

    I should imagine we are pretty limited as to getting a company to want there name across the front of our shirt.

    I like the occasional bet. I still do the pools, albeit only because I've got a standing direct debt and can't be arsed to cancel it, so it would be hypocritical of me to object if it's not for the fact that the club and those shirts are promoting gambling to kids and are selling shirts to kids to wear that promote gambling. If they want use the shirt to promote gambling then they should also add a disclaimer and a warning on the shirt in the same sized type face.

    Always remember Richard Murray at a Bromley Q&A when chairman saying he wouldn't embrace gambling sponsorship as football clubs have a social responsibility....

    Hey ho, Richard

    Yes, and that was always the way despite the money available being very decent.

    Those firms didn't align with Charlton's values. What are Charlton's values these days?
