Racism in Football Peaks in Europe

By GamblingKingz editorialPublished Updated

Soccer is experiencing racism like never before. What officials should do to protect players and punish fans is being hotly debated. The latest case of fan racism took place yesterday during the Serie A match between Juventus and Cagliari. After scoring a goal, Bianconeri striker Moise Kean was heckled by Cagliari supporters. Widespread outrage ensued when he celebrated with his arms raised in the midst of the abuse. The blame was placed on him. Both his coach and his teammate spoke out against Kean's choice of celebration, a decision that they apparently felt deserved not only the scowls of the nearby fans, but also a few boos.

Moise Kean Faces Racism in Italy

European Football Fans Should Face Penalties for Racism

Several witnesses spoke of reports of racism rearing its ugly head in Europe in recent months. Italian soccer has suffered for years from fans abusing players of African descent. But this is a sunny day, and the spotlight has shone so brightly this time that the whole of Europe is now grappling with the issue of real fans in stadiums. Members of the England national team recently saw some of their number jeered during a Euro 2025 qualifier against Montenegro. Quite unprecedented is the decibel level at which calls are now being made for officials to come up with some sort of remedy to tackle the problem of racism in football.

Recourse for Racism in Football

In 1993, FIFA and the European governing body launched the Let's Kick Racism Out campaign. It was a response to the very high levels of racism that existed in football. It was a noble effort, but it failed to come up with a way to punish fans who abuse players on the pitch. Coaches in the Barclays Premier League have spoken out in condemnation of such actions in football, going so far as to say they will stop the show if fans start doing this. There have been suggestions that teams should play behind closed doors and, if necessary, games should be stopped altogether. The latter would be difficult to enforce.

  • the licence an operator names, and its entry in the iGaming Ontario register when it has one
  • every offer against the terms the operator itself publishes
  • the cashier page for the methods, limits and fees it lists
  • provincial rules against the regulator’s own pages

A figure we cannot point at a source for does not go on the page, and the number out of ten beside a shortlist row is a position marker for that table — see how we rate. We do not hold player accounts, take deposits or pay out winnings.

Betting should stay a game

GamblingKingz is a Canadian casino and betting guide. We are not an operator and we take no bets. Every site here is checked for three things: whether it is registered with AGCO and iGaming Ontario or holds only an offshore licence, whether it keeps balances in Canadian dollars and pays out through Interac, iDebit, Instadebit or a Canadian bank, and whether the bonus it advertises has terms a player can actually read. Links to operators are commercial and can move brands up or down our table; where a brand has no verified Canadian bonus figure we leave the row out rather than convert a euro package into dollars. Ontario-registered sites are not allowed to publish welcome offers to Ontario players, so the figures shown for those brands are the rest-of-Canada offer. Bonus terms, limits and payout times change — read the operator's own terms before you deposit.

Canada licenses gambling province by province, not federally. Ontario has run an open market since 4 April 2022: an operator registers with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and signs an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario (iGO) — 48 operators and 82 sites were on the register as of 22 July 2026. Alberta opened second, on 13 July 2026, under the iGaming Alberta Act, with AGLC as the regulator. Every other province runs its own operator instead — PlayNow in British Columbia, Loto-Québec, Atlantic Lottery, PlayAlberta — and issues no private online licences, so residents elsewhere play on offshore sites, which is not an offence for the player. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission, inside Quebec, has licensed offshore operators since 1999. Recreational winnings are not taxable in Canada; playing professionally is the exception.
