Everton will receive a written warning after their shirt sponsor was outlawed – thanks to a link with adult actress Bonnie Blue.

A video probed by the Gambling Commission showed the Stake logo on screen while the porn star – who claims to have slept with more than 1,000 men in a day – was stood outside Nottingham Trent University vowing to 'sleep with 180-barely legal 18 year olds'.

It has now been deleted and was never promoted by an official Stake account. However, the matter was investigated by the Gambling Commission due to concerns over sexual content being used to promote gambling, and Stake - an Australian online betting firm - has decided to give up its licence in Great Britain.
