The FA wants to preserve what is great in the beautiful game and has devised rules regarding betting in football to help protect the integrity and future of football.

These rules apply to everyone involved in football, from the players and managers, to the match officials and club staff.



A worldwide ban on betting on football was introduced for all those involved in the game at Premier League, English Football League, National League and The FA Women's Super League and The FA Women's Championship levels, as well as those at clubs in the Northern, Southern and Isthmian leagues and all other Participants who do not fall into the category below.
Participants covered by the ban will be prohibited from betting, either directly or indirectly, on any football match or competition that takes place anywhere in the world.

This also includes a worldwide ban on betting on any other football-related matter. For example, the transfer of players, employment of managers or team selection. The passing of inside information to somebody that uses the information for betting remains prohibited.

What is inside information?

Inside information is information that you are aware of due to your position in the game and which is not publicly available - for example, this may be injury or team selection news.


You are not allowed to use inside information to place a bet or to instruct someone else to do so on your behalf.

You are not allowed to pass inside information on to someone else which they use for betting.

You can be considered to have passed inside information by word of mouth, email, writing, or even social media postings.

You may be in breach of the Rules if you pass inside information on to someone else even if you did not know that they were going to use it to bet.

I presume players also sign some kind of contract to make it legally binding?

punishment does seem harsh after seeing that

Having read the written reasons published yesterday on the FA website I have to say I think he seems exceptionally lucky to have got away with as many of the charges as he did. Seems absolutely clear he knew his mates were using the information he was giving them for betting. At the very least he's been incredibly naive.

I hope he gets away with it on appeal anyway because I like him, but the story put out about him innocently discussing his future with his mates is very clearly not true from the evidence provided and from his own admissions in cross-examination.

Sky’s report on the shenanigans. Also reports he got a character reference from his 2nd Dad.

That Rob Draper is spot on about bookies and player transfers.

The bookies are just ****** because they lost some money, but they're more than happy to take people's money in the first place
