What are the rules for soccer betting?
Football betting is prohibited worldwide for all players, coaches, trainers, club staff, managers and authorized agents involved in the game within the Premier League, EFL, National League, Women’s Super League, Women’s Championship and the North, South and Isthmian championships. Participants covered by the ban are prohibited from betting, either directly or indirectly, on any football match or competition held anywhere in the world. The ban also includes betting on any other football-related matter, such as player transfers, coaching appointments or team selection. It is also not allowed to pass on inside information to someone who uses the information for betting. Inside information is information that you know because of your position in the game and that is not publicly available, such as injury or team selection news. You may not use inside information to place a bet or instruct someone else to place a bet on your behalf. Likewise, you may not pass on confidential information to someone else who uses it for betting.
