Entain’s counsel urges six Premier League clubs to use UK-licensed sponsors for 2026/27
Entain general counsel Simon Zinger sent letters dated May 15 to six Premier League clubs, asking them to commit to UK-licensed gambling shirt sponsors for the 2026/27 season. The letters raised concerns about Stake's "heavy reliance on cryptocurrency" and alleged BJ88 uses "unregulated payment methods like cryptocurrency" to avoid oversight, while noting several clubs' current sponsors lack UK Gambling Commission licensing.
