We're talking football on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, as the SBC News team (joined by former Editor Ted Menmuir) discuss UK football governance, with the appointment of a new football regulator.

Viktor Kayed is once again in the host's chair for this episode, as he's joined by the two Teds. Ted Orme-Claye, SBC News Editor, and Ted Menmuir, SBC Media's Editor-at-large. The three discuss the establishment of the independent football regulator in the UK and its potential implications, particularly on the gambling industry.

Viktor and the Teds touch on the primary responsibilities of the IFR, what initially brought on the discussion, the potential knock-on effects to the gambling industry, the possibility of the IFR targeting betting sponsorships, public outcry regarding the prevalence of gambling sponsorships, the possibility of a standardised sponsorship ban across all leagues and the relationship between the IFR and the UKGC.
