Government to launch consultation after Everton’s deal with Stake.com went ahead amid warnings from Gambling Commission

Progress with plans to kick unlicensed gambling operators out of football has stalled since February, when the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said a review would begin in spring.
