The EPL has urged to set some injunctions control betting live ads due to the concerns that it could cause putrid behaviour.
Although, such actions can become the reason for a dispute between William Hill and English Football Association (FA) authorities as to their partnership due to the fact that William Hill is a sponsor of FA Cup in local club competitions.
The FA and EPL refused to comment this new free-will advertising ban.
This action appeared just after iGaming Business informed that four operators also supported a free-will intention as a part of an engagement to guarantee more responsible advertisement.
The four gambling operators are planning to sign up to a number of regulations and set up a watchdog so as to control the operators’promise to fund a new promotional campaign about responsible gambling and to make sure that TV ads keeps more responsible gambling means.
