Related Topics: Norwich City, EFL Championship

Norwich City Football Club has been criticised after it sent fans a promotional gambling email.

James Grimes of The Big Step campaign group said it had been alerted to the email by a fan who is a recovering addict.

He said it was disappointing after The Championship club publicly announced a move away from having gambling sponsors on their shirts.

Norwich City have been contacted for comment.

The emails, seen by the BBC, offered bonuses for people who signed up for a Spreadex Sports Account and placed a minimum bet.

The Big Step campaign is calling for an end to all gambling advertising and sponsorship in football.
