I can't find any law on that and since betting companies are external third parties not covered by the rules of any football association I imagine their reputation might be harmed if they broke GDPR and started reporting customers to their employers.SutekhForbury LionIt could be argued that betting on matches wasn't what bought the club into disrepute, what bought the club into disrepute was Bowen being charged and suspended by the FA for betting offences.morganb No other member of staff has been caught betting on football matches. There were the (suggested) payments to Olise's agent where a couple of others were involved too but didn't they just get a stern telling off (as first offence?) rather than the suspension that Bowen got for his repeat betting charges.
If it had remained internal then maybe the club would have dealt with it differently, although I don't know if the club are obliged to notify the FA in such circumstances.
Maybe there is more to this, maybe the club have further evidence which was not presented to the FA? Although if that was the case, I imagine Bowen wouldn't be fighting this.
Aren't betting establishments obliged to inform the FA if they find that a player/manager has placed a football related bet through them?
However, if they think it's insider trading whereby a person involved in football is betting on something they can make happen, like getting theirself sent off then that's something they will do something about, probably the same when a top jockey paces a big bet on a rival to beat him/her.
