This includes betting on matches and other football-related matters such as transfers, signings, managerial appointments and sackings, or team selections.
Late last month, Bradford City midfielder Harry Chapman was charged by the governing body with breaching betting rules.
The charges related back to 2017 when the ex-Middlesbrough and Sheffield United player was playing for Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
Bradford said in a statement that Chapman had the club's "full support" and will continue training with his team-mates.
