LONDON: The Football Association says it will review the betting element of FA Cup broadcast rights related to ties being viewed on a gambling website.
The matches were only available to watch if the customer had placed a bet or deposited an account with £5 in the 24 hours before kick-off. “We will review this element of the media rights sales process ahead of tendering rights to the new cycle from the 2024/25 season onwards,” said an FA spokesman.“The FA agreed a media rights deal with IMG in early 2017, part of which permits them to sell the right to show live footage or clips of FA Cup matches to bookmakers. Bet365 acquired these rights from IMG to use from the start of the 2018/19 season.
