Online Casinos Advertising Ban Protested by Soccer Club

Top 21 Online Casinos - Online Casinos Advertising Ban Protested by Soccer Club

League 1 Club Toulouse, a French soccer club, recently protested against a French ban on advertising for online casinos gambling by wearing a slogan that represented online casinos on their shirts during a game at Olympique Marseille. The slogan replaced the name of Toulouse’s shirt sponsors, the leading online casinos poker company, 888.

This move followed the decision made last week by the French Professional Football League to ban its clubs from advertising any form of online casinos gambling and betting. Advertising boards were ordered down for Monaco of the online casinos betting firm, Bwin. This was ordered to be completed before the kickoff of the League 1 match against Le Mans on Saturday. The ban came after the two joint chief executives of Austrian online casinos betting firm Bwin Interactive Entertainment were investigated earlier this month for alleged violation of French gaming laws.

Gambling is a state monopoly in France and online casinos betting firms are strictly prohibited from soliciting clients on French territory. Bwin are the shirt sponsors of Monaco and have sponsorship deals with several other League 1 clubs, including Le Mans, and other leading European teams. It seems that the French are following in the footsteps of the US in holding a tight reign over online casinos gambling companies and their influence and integration into the European country. How the soccer teams and clubs of France, and their fans, will be affected by this unwavering stance remains to be seen.
