EFL Ligue 1 Portsmouth defender Rasmus Nicolaisen has been penalized for a betting violation. The Football Association fined the athlete £2,500. The athlete is guilty of betting on 53 matches in November 2020 – one of them was in the FA Cup, in which Portsmouth participates. The extenuating circumstance for Nicolaisen was that the Danish footballer has recently been in England – since the summer of 2020 – and does not know all the local intricacies of rates. Portsmouth supported their defender, calling him a conscientious and professional athlete. The FC noted that all players and team employees are prohibited from participating directly or indirectly in betting on any football competition in the world. As My Lucky Story reported, the Swedish company Svenska Spel was left without a license for slot machines in a bar located in Sundsvall due to the behavior of visitors to this drinking establishment. Earlier it became known that in Sweden the bookmaker Hillside Sports was fined, which accepted bets on the match of football clubs in which there were minors. Recall that the British regulator imposed a fine of $ 8.23 million on the online casino operator Casumo for non-compliance with social responsibility requirements.
