The most recent example, the Rugby Football League (RFL) imposed a three-month ban on Midlands Hurricanes head coach, Richard Squires, for violating RFL betting regulations in April 2022.

One month of the ban will be suspended.

A compliance investigation found him guilty of breaking several rules, including the RFL’s Code of Conduct on Betting and related activities.
