Britain’s gambling regulator said on Wednesday it would write to three Premier League soccer clubs – Everton, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City – warning them of the risks associated with promoting illegal gambling websites on their shirts.

The UK Gambling Commission had said earlier in the day that Stake.uk.com would no longer be a licensed gambling website following an investigation and added the operator, TGP Europe Ltd, will shut down the site by next month.

Stake.com is the front-of-shirt sponsor of Everton and online gaming platforms Kaiyun and BC Game similarly sponsor Nottingham Forest and Leicester City.
