Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Premier League has asked clubs to vote on whether to bring in a voluntary ban on gambling sponsorship on shirts before potential government action.<\/p>\n

Half of last season\u2019s 20 top-flight teams had betting sponsors on their shirts, with the government hoping to decide on a ban before 21 July. The Premier League is supportive of a voluntary move where gambling sponsors are phased out within three years.<\/p>\n

But 14 of its 20 clubs would need to vote in favour for it to be approved. An email was sent to clubs on Monday, with a decision expected within the next week.<\/p>\n

Last week, government sources said a final decision was yet to be made and that a ban on shirt sponsorship was still on the table.<\/p>\n

But it is understood that a voluntary ban has been discussed and could offer a middle ground for clubs and avert any legislation on a much-debated topic.<\/p>\n

Everton and promoted side Bournemouth have both recently signed new shirt deals with betting firms, while Crystal Palace have dropped theirs in favour of a car retailer.<\/p>\n

A voluntary move is likely to disappoint campaigners, who have been urging the government to act and impose a ban which would also include league and social media sponsorship, plus pitch-perimeter advertising.<\/p>\n

A University of Glasgow study claimed that more than 700 betting-related logos can be seen during the course of a match.<\/p>\n

The Premier League declined to comment. Its clubs are likely to be less affected by a ban, because they can draw on other types of sponsorships. But the English Football League, sponsored by Sky Bet, has said it would cost their clubs \u00a340m a year.<\/p>\n

It is not believed that a ban would affect EFL clubs, but choosing only top-flights clubs has been described as \u201cincoherent\u201d by campaigners and has been a point of contention for the Premier League.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said: \u201cWe are undertaking the most comprehensive review of gambling laws in 15 years to make sure they are fit for the digital age. We will publish a white paper which sets out our vision for the sector in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
