Leicester City slammed for allowing links to porn star Eva Elfie via sponsor BC Game
A Leicester City supporters’ group has accused the club of tarnishing its family-friendly reputation by allowing itself to be linked to porn and unlicensed gambling.

A Leicester City supporters' group, the Foxes Trust, has criticized the club for endorsing a porn star and an unlicensed offshore gambling sponsor. The trust, which has long been critical of Leicester's current front-of-shirt sponsor BC Game, a crypto bookmaker without a UK or US license, has now raised concerns over BC Game's partnership with Russian adult content creator Eva Elfie.
The trust stated that the club's decision to associate with BC Game, a gambling company that allows clients to use cryptocurrencies and has unclear funding origins, has tarnished Leicester's family-friendly reputation. Almost three-quarters of fans surveyed expressed negativity towards the BC Game sponsorship, with only five percent finding it acceptable.
The trust urged fans to purchase shirts without the BC Game logo. Despite the controversy, Premier League and English Football League rules do not currently prohibit clubs from partnering with unlicensed gambling firms as long as their services are not accessible in the UK. Leicester City has yet to comment on the matter.
