I guess if he actually does have an addiction which has been reported then I'd assume that is fair reason to.
Tonali & Zaniolo questioned by Italian police for illegal betting activities | Tonali charged by FA for betting while at Newcastle

Too much money and too much time, bad mix. There must be legal ways to bet, rather than stake money on something he knows is banned.
Dude they can bet on anything but football and playing on illegal betting platforms
not that hard.
No Pity for whatever punishment they get.
That was my thought. Addiction or not it’s stupid.
.....and people wondered why no one else was in for hin?
10 month ban for Tonali is incoming. Supposedly
some hands are gonna get chopped off for this.
10 months is a ridiculously low ban...
they didn’t want him making any easy money betting on an obvious length.
Conveniently the ban will end just in time for the start of next season. But that's still him done for the season and missing out on the Euro 2024 next summer.
AC Milan have played a blinder if they knew about this, and Newcastle are also thick as shit.
I don't think @RonaldoVII is doing that at all - rather just saying that if this was one of our players, a) he'd have the book thrown at him and b) there's no way he'd be given such a free ride in the media. From what I've seen/heard Tonali is basically coming out of this as some sympathetic character in all of this.
Perhaps. I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt and deleted my post
10-month ban for Tonali.

And he misses the EURO?
Mental that he only gets 10 months
Is this why he was forced out of Milan?
Will go back to Milan post-ban.
Yep, confirmed he'll be out of the Euros.
Easy to imagine that he’ll be going back and forth to Italy over the next 10 months.
I just love the thought that Newcastle couldn't believe their luck when they were approached to sign him.
I feel the media reporting on this incident would be a lot different if this was a United player.
Hearing some outlets saying the ban is too harsh and that it’s not his fault as it’s an addiction etc. Plus the love in from Newcastle and their fans, he’s basically cost them a tonne of money and knew that he’d be caught.
Lucky to only get 10 months.

My cynicism tells me Newcastle will appeal and have the ban reduced to six months.
On what grounds?
Oh ok.
On the grounds of this briefcase filled with money
Ivan Toney had his ban reduced from 15 months to 11 and then to 8 on the grounds of gambling addiction- so maybe along those lines?
EDIT: and also on the grounds of what @horsechoker said after the head of the FA receives a “special invitation” to head down to the Saudi Embassy
Seemed to be banned a lot quicker than Ivan Toney was, that seemed to drag on for some months.
Yeah potentially, but was he actually banned by the FA or in Italy? Romano's tweet doesn't specify. Who would Newcastle appeal to?Ivan Toney had his ban reduced from 15 months to 11 and then to 8 on the grounds of gambling addiction- so maybe along those lines?

I mean it's of course not possible and I'd not be particularly surprised but it already doesn't seem like a massive ban considering his admission of guilt.
The Italian FA deal with things a lot faster. City would probably be relegated to the lower leagues by now
If we are talking about a guy who has a genuine addiction giving him 10 months with nothing to do is really not going to help him at all.
Football once again appears to be failing these guys.

Nice to see the £70m man who doesn't want to be in Newcastle, get a 10 month ban, so he can go home.
Sadly some people probably believe this.
Not sure Newcastle can appeal to the FA as it wasn't them who banned him, its the Italian FA., who are as clean cut as they come and wont take any bribes.
wanna bet?
This is rather a mild punishment considering that he bet on his own team's games (That was him, wasn't it?).
