English Football League clubs cash in on fans' betting losses

English Football League clubs are taking a cut of betting losses from fans. The arrangement was ditched at the start of the 2019/20 season, but some clubs will continue to receive payments until the end of 2023/24 campaign. There are calls for the government to investigate if Premier League teams are benefitting from similar deals. Sky Bet supports the evidence-led measures being introduced as part of upcoming gambling act review.
