Experts have criticized the rhetoric used by sports clubs regarding their commitments to end betting sponsorships, arguing that the language often lacks concrete timelines and accountability measures.
The criticism comes amid growing pressure on clubs to sever ties with gambling operators, with several leagues and governing bodies considering stricter regulations on gambling advertising.
Analysts say that while many clubs have publicly stated intentions to reduce reliance on betting revenue, few have provided detailed transition plans or set firm deadlines for phasing out such partnerships.
