LOL. and the gall to put out a hype video for it. Are the fans supposed to be pumped up about this?

Lol. Is Evander Kane really someone you want advertising your gambling business?

A video promoting an ad logo on their jerseys... they certainly are something special!

Clearly it's to entice all the Tier 1 fans to upgrade their current jersey with this one.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Flames followed suit.

That sweet, sweet government money...

Let's be honest, with the amount of money Oiler fans spend on future bets and lotteries, it is money well spent for that demographic. It is just so annoying that every fourth commercial is betting related. Now for Oilers broadcasts it will be every second. In a couple years they will be wondering why half the population are gambling degenerates.

I mean, about time advertisements have been based on their most active users

Didn't both the Flames and Oilers have PlayAlberta ads on their home helmets last season?

I assume the only way we won't see the same on the Flames' jersey this season will be if they decide not to sell jersey ads (yet).

Outside of gambling itself being an issue, its the target on young people that concerns me. The marketing of these orgs is focused in on 18–25-year-olds, who from experience have no money to mess with anyways

Those 10 dollar sports select and small wagers all add up.

It’s allowing to bet on the dumbest #### now as well. The NFL has a wager on every play.

I hope they add illegal alignment bets, with the amount of flags money is to be made. What a joke.

Gambling is for the most part stupid, harmful, and the faces of the game should've stayed away from those partnerships.

Gross to think that kids are watching Gretzky and McDonkey promoting them on TV and coming away with the impression that it's fine because those guys are promoting it.

there is something to be said about society being too bored at the moment. A shake-up may be required.
