Spurs Cut Ties With Sponsor 1xBet as Liverpool & Chelsea Warned Over Links With Gambling Company

Tottenham Hotspur have ended their partnership with Russian betting company 1xBet after the organisation lost their license to operate in Britain.

1xBet were forced to block access to their website in the UK amid numerous accusations of regulation breaches, including taking bets on children's sports and advertising on illegal websites.

Spurs had been sponsored by 1xBet before the investigation but, according to The Times, they have now terminated their deal with the Russian organisation. Striker Harry Kane had also been used publicly to promote 1xBet, as did Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and Chelsea's Willian.
