The regulations state that no player, referee or staff member is allowed to bet on "competitions organised by the LFP".

In the 2013/14 season, 87 professional players were found guilty of betting offences by the LFP, with 37 of them being sanctioned with fines. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Toby Davis)
