What can be a consequence for a player using the services of an unlicensed agent?

The consequence for a player using the services of an unlicensed agent is typically a warning or reprimand. This reflects the governing body's stance on maintaining professional standards and the integrity of the sport. National federations or sports institutions often have regulations requiring players to work with licensed agents to ensure that they are represented properly and legally. By issuing a warning or reprimand, they are emphasizing the importance of adhering to these regulations without necessarily imposing harsher penalties unless there are repeated offenses or egregious violations.

The potential for automatic team transfer or immediate contract termination would typically only apply in more severe cases of wrongdoing, particularly if there was a breach of contract or illegal behavior involved. Increased player salary, on the other hand, does not relate to the use of an unlicensed agent, as the consequences are more aligned with compliance and maintaining a regulated environment in the sport.
