I think Stake.com would have included a clause in the contract, that if Everton gets relegated out of the league, then the contract between them gets terminated. It is obvious that you cannot pay a team, if they do not qualify to participate in an tournament, where you want to advertise your company.

It is a pitty that Stake.com are only sponsoring the lower ranked teams in the championship, but I guess having them sponsoring two teams in the lower ranking, gives them more exposure.. than sponsoring one higher ranked team. Tongue

Also.... the Drake stream took a lot of money out of their pockets... and that might be why we will not see a pre-monthly.

I think it's quite alright considering those are getting viewership as well, they can't just do sponsorships on Manchester united or city or Liverpool etc etc, those are huge amounts and they will not be able to get it. There are way too many clubs who do not like gambling sponsorships neither because they feel like it's too risky, it could get banned any moment and that is why they prefer lesser money most of the time and get other stuff. I think it would be wise to continue down this road as long as FA allows them to do so.

It's not that easy because betting and sportsbooks are always getting extra audit by these organizations and even if a single thing is missing, they do end up not allowing them to sponsor anyone. So doing it is really valuable without a doubt.

The regulation is really something that will become more and more strict the upcoming years. In Belgium a lot of soccer teams are sponsored by (fiat) casinos and in a couple of years that will be forbidden. No idea how the clubs will solve that as these sponsors bring in a lot of money…

@babygun I believe that Stake will be evaluating their strategies for the long term too as I recall that the UK government was keen on passing strict rules for gambling sites and this would effect their sponsorships with football clubs in a negative way. Furthermore I believe that one should not underestimate a team just because it’s playing in a lower level because their fan’s maybe easier to target hence Stake maybe targeting those team’s.
