Betting and Gaming Council backs Labour ambition to push sports for working class

The directive by the Labour government to provide working-class communities with better access to grassroots sports will have the backing of the Betting and Gaming Council.

The council, a trade association in the UK, is aware of the connections that sports have with working-class communities. Its members have contributed significantly to the growth of sports like lower league football, rugby league, darts, and snooker.

In the United Kingdom, betting partnerships benefit communities and sports leagues. For example, The English Football League receives £40 million from Sky Bet every year. Successful funding programs supporting grassroots initiatives and aiding in the upkeep and development of amateur football teams for local communities have been introduced by members Entain, Flutter, and bet365.
