Euro 2024 sweepstakes could land remote office workers in hot water with the law, potentially facing hefty fines or even prison time.
Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate unveiled his squad last week, with notable absences including Manchester City's Jack Grealish, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Tottenham's James Maddison. Many across the nation will be organising a sweepstake, a form of gambling where each participant pays a small entry fee and is assigned a competitor before the tournament begins.
If a person's chosen team triumphs in the event, they'll bag their prize, typically a portion of the money raised by everyone's involvement. Most adults will have joined in at some point, but many won't realise that this seemingly innocent activity could be against the law.
