And since Bitcointalk is an independent forum, I don't understand how the rules should affect your ads here with the use of the teams, if the .io website isn't a business under the UK jurisidiction.
I guess it is better to be safe then sorry. Maybe there is possibility of some competitors reporting such adds and then some governing body pressuring the clubs to kill the deals.
And I hate that legal wording "Top flight footballers and footballers with a considerable following among under-18 on social media." Wtf that means, SB can't use Saka pictures cause teenege girls are following him but they can use Xhaka pictures cause he has majority of his following among older male population? Took those two as example, have no idea about actual stuff.
