It is widely expected that the review of the gambling laws will clamp down on the publicising of betting companies, notably on players’ jerseys in the Premier League and the Football League.

Eight of the top clubs now have gambling sponsors’ logos on their shirts while others have sponsors named on sleeves or have concluded deals for advertising on training kits and in stadia.
