KTID1869fc Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Got to be honest, I’m a Killie fan who takes my 2 kids to the game and if Bargain Booze, Rothmans and Bet365 decided to team up and sponsor us I’d be delighted and take the £ quicker than they could get them out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton Bluebell Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Surely the anti betting stance by the club can’t be true? At any live TV game at RP,the moving adverts I see on the Frank Beattie Stand are mostly all adverts for betting companies.

True, but we aren't refusing the cash from the TV companies or the league sponsors, Ladbrokes. That would be financial suicide and the board know it. If Kenny Alexander offered millions, which he had made from gambling companies, would we refuse that cash too ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, still operates under the name of the Killie Lotto, but is about to be relaunched as a community product according to a recent club announcement (was tucked in at the bottom of a weekly email or news article somewhere). Think they were planning to invite agents take them through th renewed offering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midgeace9 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 There are many aspects to the Gambling / Drink sponsorship that would have been considered before coming to the difficult decision not to consider offers (if any). Football and Gambling/Drinking have been going hand in hand for decades (bookies, pools, booze fuelled trips, cheeky victory pints or 10 at the local) and it seems ludicrous that a football club would not want to be associated with a brand that would most likely appeal to the same general customers as the fans. As many have highlighted, it is everywhere you look in football and one less club (with a fairly small impression) not involved probably won't be changing the tide. However, just because a large number of customers are regular clients doesn't mean that it is a good fit. Firstly we have to look at the vulnerable members of society. Addicts are the obvious case here and more advertising is not going to help here but in reality the worst it could potentially be is the straw that breaks the camels back. The most obvious reason, as I see it, is to protect children and young adults. Advertisers know full well that planting the seed of brand recognition in a child brain will reap massive rewards in the long run. The evidence of how effective advertising is on kids via their trusted heroes is undeniable and sourced by multiple researchers. For this reason, this is why junk food is now banned for TV (and online) advertising at kids. Furthermore, gambling standards prohibit anyone who is, or seems to be, under 25 years to be featured gambling or playing a significant role in their communication. This is how they can circumvent this rule by having young footballers advertise on their chests instead. Money is good, cash is king but at what expense. Maybe not today but it might be the difference in a kid growing up to love the gambling or not taking part. For me this is worth Killie losing 100k a year over vs one of our own fans losing the same to gambling companies. Worse still, gambling debts contribute to the disgustingly high levels of suicide amongst young men. Stay clear please Killie. It's always been like that doesn't mean has has to always be like that 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
