The Russian gambling firm has blocked access to its site in the UK, but is still actively promoting itself on 🎅 social media, including relationships with its Premier League partners. The Sunday Times investigation into the firm’s global operations found that 1xBet 🎅 was promoting a casino featuring topless croupiers, taking bets on children’s sports, advertising on illegal websites and cockfighting live streams 🎅 emblazoned with the three club’s logos. In response to the findings, the Gambling Commission confirmed it had launched an investigation. Some 🎅 of the clubs’ top players, including Roberto Firmino, Willian and Olivier Giroud, have all fronted campaigns for the Russian company, 🎅 which is now based in Cyprus. The three Premier League clubs, who finished second, third and fourth last season, all have 🎅 close ties to the 1xBet. Last August, Tottenham revealed 1xBet as their official betting partner for Africa. The firm’s licence has 🎅 since been suspended in Kenya – a country with an endemic problem with gambling addiction – over betting industry-wide tax 🎅 issues. |
