Rule change means League of Ireland players face bans for betting on any football worldwide

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

The new FIFA regulation bans players in the League of Ireland from betting on any football worldwide. PFA Ireland boss Stephen McGuinness wants players to avoid working with betting companies. Shamrock Rovers' sponsorship deal with 888 has expired after two years and won't be renewed. Dundalk's contract with Bet Regal is the only active shirt deal for a betting firm going into the 2023 campaign. The FAI will visit all clubs before the season starts to spell it out. If found betting, players could be punished with a ban and disciplinary action. It is more serious than betting in Bolivia.
