Online bookmaker Betway has ended bets on football player transfers across all of its territories following two high-profile disputes involving Premier League players. It has called on other bookmakers to follow its lead.

English Premier League players Daniel Sturridge (then at Liverpool FC) and Kieran Trippier (then at Tottenham Hotspurs) were both sanctioned by the English Football Association this year for breaching betting rules.

Sturridge was given a four-month ban and a £75,000 fine in March after the FA decided the striker had passed insider information to family members so they could bet on his then-mooted transfer to Sevilla FC.

Kieran Trippier was charged by the FA in May for leaking information to friends about his transfer to Atletico Madrid in summer 2019. He has until June 26 to respond.

According to FA rules, registered professionals must not bet directly nor instruct or enable anyone else to bet on the result, progress, any other aspect of the sport, including transfers.

“The FA have strict rules on betting and we feel that offering odds on players to move to specific clubs highlights a grey area which has caused issues in the past. It is best removed as an option. When there are hundreds of prices and markets offered on most games, this is part of the football betting experience that we are happy to see shut down,” Alan Alger, Head of Corporate Communications at Betway, said.

“The increased allocation of funding for prevention represents a significant and necessary step forward. We fully support the Government’s commitment to safeguarding children and young people and while gambling harm prevention must be multifaceted, education must remain a central pillar of this strategy. We have consistently advocated for greater investment in universal education and early intervention, equipping young people with the knowledge and resilience to navigate the digital world. Long-term, sustainable funding for services that facilitate prevention education is essential to delivering a comprehensive public health response to this issue.

“An effective prevention strategy must also extend beyond the classroom, ensuring that safeguarding leads, parents, youth workers, and other trusted individuals have access to evidence-based training and resources to support and protect young people effectively.

“The third sector plays an indispensable role in delivering high-quality prevention work. The expertise within specialist charities must be embraced and fully integrated into the new commissioning framework. It is imperative that existing good practice and demonstrable impact are recognised and retained. Charities have been instrumental in driving progress, and sustained investment in their work will be crucial to achieving our collective goals.

“We look forward to collaborating with OHID, policymakers, and sector partners to shape this new era of prevention. Through cooperation, innovation, and accountability, we can establish a world-leading infrastructure that effectively reduces gambling harms and safeguards future generations.”
