Gambling sponsorship in sport has become widespread in recent years, but this ubiquity has drawn ever-louder criticism, Daniel O'Boyle writes. With bans either in place or incoming in Europe, will betting brands disappear from strips in the UK? And if so how can the industry adapt to the loss of a major marketing channel - and sport to a significant source of funding?

A cultural shift in the industry has seen operators look to ramp up their responsible gaming controls, with many bringing in external help to do so, writes Daniel O’Boyle. But can external consultants really play a role in changing company culture?

The Industry Group for Responsible Gambling’s Responsible Gambling Week has grown rapidly since its 2017 launch. Chair John Hagan explains its aims to Daniel O'Boyle and says the sector needs to prove its year-round commitment to safer gambling

In the wake of last week's damning BBC report on the industry's treatment of those addicted to gambling, operators are keen to show they've made massive changes. However those campaigning for stricter regulations on operators say they are still hearing similar stories to those featured on the programme.

The operator told iGamingBusiness.

The UK government has officially launched the long-awaited review of the 2005 Gambling Act, with stake limits, the role of the Gambling Commission and new ad restrictions to be considered.

The player protection debate is evolving to look at how online slots are designed, rather than just how they are offered. Daniel O’Boyle and Jake Pollard investigate.

Much of the player protection debate has focused on action that operators should take, rather a deeper look at how products such as online slots are created.

Yet questions about how the gambling products themselves work have grown louder in recent months, with regulators, legislators and campaign groups all focusing more attentio

As Odyssey Sims was called for an offensive foul midway through the third quarter of the Sparks’ 79-57 victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Thursday night, tensions flared between the two teams.

The crowd at Staples Center erupted in cheers as Maya Moore missed the resulting technical free throw. Seconds later, boos rang out as Candace Parker was called for a foul on a block against Sylvia Fowles.

There wasn’t much proof from the spirit of the players or the fans, but the matchup didn’t mean wha

Despite LAFC beating the Portland Timbers 3-2 on Wednesday, its Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup status remains in doubt because of a dispute over the eligibility of midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye.

The draw for the semifinals of the competition has been delayed while U.S. Soccer considers an official protest from the Timbers on the grounds that LAFC fielded too many international players.

The tournament rules state a professional team “may have no more than 5 foreign players listed,” similar to Major Le

This time it can’t end in a draw.

For the second time in four days, LAFC will meet the Portland Timbers at Banc of California Stadium. Sunday’s MLS game ended in at scoreless tie, but there will be a winner Wednesday at the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Though it’s the same team, LAFC coach Bob Bradley said the knockout game will be a different challenge.

“We have to play them under very different circumstances; it’s a Cup game and it’s a night game,” Bradley said. “Those are some big differences

D.C. United put the ball in the net twice. The Galaxy did so five times.

But for the Galaxy, only the first two counted.

The Galaxy failed to preserve a lead for the second consecutive game, tying 2-2 on Wednesday night at Stubhub Center with the team that has the worst record in MLS. But with three goals nullified because of offside calls, coach Sigi Schmid was critical of the officials.

“I didn’t think the referee had one of his better games today,” Schmid said.

In the opening five minutes

Adama Diomande entered LAFC’s game against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening with an already-prolific tally of four goals in four games. As he came off to a standing ovation in the 75th minute at Banc of California Stadium, he’d improved that to seven goals in five games, scoring the first hat trick in LAFC history and helping his team to a 4-1 victory.

Diomande’s goals came in the 25th, 43rd and 55th minutes as LAFC won its fifth in a row, including two games in the U.S. Open Cup.

TAMPA -- Cornerbacks usually know how DeSean Jackson is going to beat them. With speed.

It's no secret. It's been known since before he entered the NFL, and cornerbacks have been reminded again and again since his 2008 debut.

How fast is Jackson? His 22.6 mph recorded on a 56-yard reception against the Arizona Cardinals was the second-highest top-speed of any ballcarrier in the league last year, behind Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill. His 17.7 yards per reception, the product of countless deep bal

Jameis Winston has an impressive-looking group of weapons on offense for 2017. With Mike Evans, Cameron Brate and new additions OJ Howard and Desean Jackson to throw to, he may be perfectly set to take his game up a level in his third year.

Winston's spent plenty of time praising those around him, but he has an equal level of respect for the guys on the other side of the ball. And they might play their own part in helping Winston improve going into this season.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — From junior forward Jessica Shepard’s layup to make the game 12-6 and her score to make it 24-16, 10 minutes and 36 seconds of basketball were played.

Mabrey had a layup attempt swatted away by the ferocious junior center Teaira McCowan.

And those were all the shots Notre Dame took during that stretch, more than a quarter of the game.

It wasn’t that the Irish (35-3, 15-1 ACC) weren’t seeing the ball. They had plenty of possessions, but the second the ball was inbounded, every

COLUMBUS, Ohio — In groups of two or three, almost every player in Notre Dame’s locker room was huddled around a phone playing the same song, a tribute to the team by Indiana rapper Tevin Studdard.

“Some guy tweeted it at us,” graduate student forward Kristina Nelson said.

“That was lit. He literally put the whole team, everybody in there,” senior guard Mychal Johnson said.

She’s right. Every member of the roster — the walk-ons, the injured players, the AP second-team All-American that hit th

In the atrium of Notre Dame’s Guglielmino Athletics Complex sits seven iterations of the statue college football players dream of winning.

But behind those seven Heismans sits six more trophies, a selection of some of the “other” individual awards in college football.

In the middle of those six sits the Outland Trophy.

Given to the best interior lineman in the nation, it doesn’t get the recognition the Heisman does. Its purpose, after all, was to recognize the players that John H. Outland fel

In 2015, Daelin Hayes was set to play for USC.

He was set to one day stare down Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush and attempt to sack the Irish signal-caller.

He was set to be teammates with Trojan offensive stars Deontay Burnett, Ronald Jones II and Sam Darnold.

And his favorite college player was Jaylon Smith.

He made no secret of it, admitting he loved to watch Smith in an interview while still committed to one of Notre Dame’s biggest rivals.

Nothing but green grass between him and the goal line.

That’s a situation Josh Adams, at the time only a freshman, had already seen before. He broke out for a 25-yard touchdown in his debut against Texas, a 70-yard score against Massachusetts and an FBS-season-record 98-yard tear down the sideline against Wake Forest.

It’s a situation he would see himself in again, adding two more touchdown runs of over 40 yards in 2016. Against Temple last
