Wolves boss Gary O'Neil believes football has a responsibility to protect players from the dangers of gambling.
Newcastle's Sandro Tonali has been banned for 10 months following the outcome of an investigation into alleged breaches of betting rules.
Ivan Toney, the Brentford striker, is still serving a playing suspension for betting until January while Nottingham Forest's Harry Toffolo was given a suspended five-month ban after 375 breaches of the rules. "I was surrounded by a lot of gambling, senior pros in the dressing room where you thought, 'this is normal.' It's important the lads understand what it can mean for family life, missing games like some players are.
"It's important we understand what it can do. If I go back to when I was playing it was everywhere. It was part of the culture, it was on the team bus, people checking scores at half-time. The hard thing is it's not as obvious as other addictions.
