“Threatening the safety of an athlete or their family members over a sports bet crosses a bright ethical and criminal line, and it is entirely unacceptable,” the leagues wrote in the statement.

Arjan Blok, CEO of Nederlandse Loterij, emphasised the importance of player protection in a statement this week.

Akolade explains: “Every African country has its own legal framework, culture, and level of market development, so a single model might not work everywhere.
“What we do believe is that basic principles should apply across all markets. These include protecting minors, providing effective self-exclusion options, promoting responsible advertising and ensuring that people affected by gambling harm can access support.
“ARGN will help to shape these principles into standards while allowing countries to implement them in ways that fit their local realities.”
