The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has moved to prevent football clubs in the UK from actively promoting betting companies on social media.

The council decided it was time to take action following a tweet by the official Arsenal Twitter account that promoted gambling with their sports betting partner, sportsbet.io. In the tweet, the club suggested a possible bet on their upcoming match against Southampton followed by a clear call to action.

The new rules come into effect on March 1st
