  /  autty

Tottenham have terminated their betting deal with controversial gambling firm 1XBET according to reports on Saturday night, just four weeks after Sportsmail highlighted concerns over the betting company's licence having been suspended in Kenya.

1XBET, who were Tottenham's African betting partner, were also using huge billboards with England captain Harry Kane and other Spurs players in the African country, where gambling has become a massive social issue amongst.

Campaigners claimed the adverts lured young people into addiction.

Following Sportsmail's report, further issues were raised concerning the company's conduct, with the UK Gambling Commission confirming last month that there were 'ongoing enquiries into 1Xbet and their relationship with licensed operator FSB'.

The Sunday Times had reported that the 1XBET brand had been used to promote gambling on children's sports and cockfights as well as a Pornhub casino and their UK licence had been suspended while the Gambling Commission's inquiry was ongoing.

Sportsmail revealed in July that Spurs had expressed their concerns to 1XBET and were seeking reassurances from company about its practices in Kenya.

Now the Sunday Times has reported that Spurs have terminated their agreement with the company, though Liverpool and Chelsea still have sponsorship deals with the firm.
