Gambling and football have become inseparable as betting companies increase their presence in Europe’s top leagues. And people are paying with their lives. Fans are bombarded by adverts on shirts, stadiums, press conferences and TV. The relentless ads target those most vulnerable and even children are being pulled into the murky world of betting. This is how gambling is poisoning the beautiful game.

(Small mistake, sorry Indian Oil! At 1:44 we got the wrong picture: xp95 is of course a high-octane fuel and not a betting company. We did a lot of research for this video, as we do for all our stories. But mistakes happen now and then.)

I hate gambling because when the team you're betting on wins you're just happy because you won money, not because you love the club. It creates an artificial feeling of happiness when there is no emotional connection with a team or a player.

I got addicted when I was around 16. Won my first two bets, got greedy and kept betting until I lost all my pocket money. I was so ashamed of myself that I haven't placed a sports bet ever since.

Main problem of gambling for me is that I can’t stop until I have lost all my balance. When you are winning you just keep on placing bets and chasing the excitement.

Football is no more about passion. It's only about money and how to get more and more money.

I'm from Tanzania, 90% of sponsors in Tanzania Premium League are betting companies. There is a positive impact of this companies, financially. But there's a lot negative impact outside the pitch. The number of teenager's and adult addicted with gambling is very high, even in rural areas because of strong marketing through this football teams.

I prefer betting on boxing matches rather than football because at least if the opponent looses my money at least he will be getting a good beating

I am a Chinese football fan but only have been closely following football 10 years ago. Recently I was gifted fifa22 and started playing it shocks me how many Chinese online gambling companies have got premier league teams wearing their shirts. Gambling in China is illeagal on all forms because people can easily getting addicted ( my own experience is at asians seems to get more attracted to it comparing to other races )

It's sad, even Football KZfaq channels which have a lot of young kids watching are showing betting ads and some even are trying to get into the act by doing prize giveaways that require viewers to purchase a raffle ticket.
