Comment exprimer ça en bon français? Merci...
Voici le contexte:
Leigh Matthews told a press conference just a few days ago that the Australian Football League should sever all ties with the bookmaking industry. “I would prefer that nobody bet on the AFL. It's one of the unfortunate progressions in the evolution of the world that betting agencies now bet on everything. I think that's really unhealthy. I think [the AFL] should say to the betting companies `you want to bet on the footy, fine, but don't include us. Don't ask us to have rules and regulations ***that pander to people who might want to bet on a game***.”

brosser dans le sens du poil
CMJ's idea gives the right meaning, I think. I suggest sth a little more metaphorical... as sueaberwoman says, 'to pander to' is not exactly a neutral term -
"un règlement qui permet de brosser d'éventuels parieurs dans le sens du poil"
