Is it time for football to cut ties with gambling?

Available for over a year

Whether it’s through sponsors on the players’ shirts or advertising around the big games, the betting industry and football have never been closer. Yet with the government’s imminent white paper expected to loosen that grip, we assess the pros and cons of football’s relationship with gambling. Does sponsorship and advertising glamorise a dangerous vice that can foster addiction and ruin lives? Or is it merely reflective of a popular modern pastime that millions enjoy? Would a total ban pave the way for more ethical brands to invest in the game - or leave a hole in the finances of football’s cash-strapped clubs? Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Alistair Magowan Producer: Sam Sheringham
