To be honest apart from Betway who I know sponsor West Ham as I saw a picture just now. I couldn’t tell you who sponsors who anymore.
I used to boycott certain companies due to their choice of team to sponsor but now I couldn’t tell you who sponsors who as I rarely watch any other football other than Charlton I couldn’t tell you who have sponsored anyone of our opponents to date so far this season.
Our opponents so far this season have been sponsored by:

It's about time. I've always felt so uncomfortable seeing betting sponsors on football shirts and I hated it when we had Betdaq. If your sponsor is something you can't put on a child's shirt then they shouldn't be your sponsor.
There's also the fact that there's a clear link between gambling and the racist abuse players suffer online during and after matches. Not only is there a problem here, but players tend to get a lot of abuse from abroad when they do something that stops someone getting their win, and it's incredibly hard for us to police, meaning the it's on the social media companies, who do next to nothing. Obviously these companies will still advertise abroad and it won't stop abuse, but clubs making money off a system that funnels abuse towards their own players is crazy

It's like alcohol though, the vast majority can do it without any issues (I don't want to use the word "responsibly" as that really is inappropriate) but for those that it does effect, it consumes them.

I've been watching interviews of people who have serious gambling addictions.
It's very sad and it ruin lives.
I don't think it is a problem that is easy for anyone to understand. They cannot stop but are too ashamed to openly admit the problem while it's occurring.
There will always be counter arguments for everything but I do think the existance of gambling is more of a problem then a benefit for the world we live in.
Obviously, the concept of it will never just vanish, but it could gradually get reduced. The money could be spent on better things. Not just filling up rich peoples pockets.
I used to spend a proportion of my wages on betting.
It all adds up. I probably overall chucked thousands away...and for what?
I'm personally pleased to say I now have no fixation on gambling. It no longer drags me in at all 🤷
I'm lucky that I used to lose on it quite often...so it made me give up early!
listened to Talksport yesterday, their whole output now seems to be geared only towards promoting sports betting- and their adverts are just for tools, vans and even more betting. I hope the Americanos resist the lure of the betting sponsorship- BETDAQ was enough.
I've been getting offers from gambling companies to sponsor my stuff on YouTube. I've resisted them over the years but nobody else is as interested as they are. I think the PL ban means they're looking at other places to get involved. We get the same amount of footballing eyeballs as Championship clubs so it makes sense.
It's such a headache because the money is huge to me, and could finance my work for a year and help me stop working 60-70 hour weeks. But on the flip side, the blowback could be really damaging. It's really easy to say "don't take their money, have principles!" or whatever, but far harder to have that perspective when it's your life and livelihood that's at play.

Jimmy, would you have any input as to how they advertise on your site?
Yes it would probably be my choice as to how we present the sponsor, within reason.
For Hello Fresh I get the manager to cook a meal and people think it’s funny and don’t care that it’s an advert. So we’d be aiming for something like that. Like Paddy Power. They’d be a great partner for us!
I think the difference between Hello Fresh and a gambling co is that you'd need to be careful about checking the requirements for warnings associated with gambling advertisements, so you don't inadvertantly fall foul of those. Probably worth checking how the Not The Top 20 boys handle their betting show stuff, and any other content creators that get similar sponsorship, to see if it's something that'll work for you.

Perhaps there is a way to detect it and stop the problems before it erupts.
Probably a bit far fetched to give everyone who has a betting app on their phone an mri scan but someone might have the answers!
