NetBet is a pioneer in football in Brazil, closing first with Fortaleza in 2018, shortly after the Federal Government sanctioned MP 846, related to fixed-odds betting in the country. Shortly after that, several sponsorships followed, such as the BJJ Stars, Liga Universitária de São Paulo tournaments, clubs Vasco, Caucaia and Red Bull Bragantino. The firm already had UFC fighter Júnior Cigano as ambassador.
In his words, ZR11 magnifies the house: “I am very happy with this call to be part of a great team again! Now I can hit my chest again and say that NetBet is undoubtedly a giant in its segment.”
A “titan” in football
Zé Roberto has played in giant clubs such as Portuguesa, Real Madrid, Flamengo, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Santos, Hamburg, Al-Gharafa, Grêmio and Palmeiras.
Having a long-lasting career and many victories, the midfielder was practically guaranteed presence in the Brazilian team during his time as player, being a starter in the 2006 World Cup in Germany and scoring a goal in the victory of Brazil against Ghana, for example.
Although he has a great identification with Palmeiras for being the team where he ended his career, he also had a great period in the German football, with 5 seasons played in Bayern Munich and 4 Bayern Leverkusen.
Zé Roberto has a German passport and is the second Brazilian player with the most games in the Bundesliga. He states that it was in Germany where he became a complete athlete: "It was there that I understood that my body was my work tool and that I needed to take very good care of it to achieve longevity, as I did later."
In Brazil, winning the Brazilian Championship and the Brazil Cup with Palmeiras were just some of his victories.
Sports betting in the country
Marsio Schneider, NetBet's Marketing Director, explains that "the choice of Zé Roberto as brand ambassador could not be better. An example of race, dedication, overcoming and determination, ZR11 is a figure that represents all this and more. Image that represents NetBet, which has been successful around the world for 20 years and now comes to Brazil with all power."
With presence in more than 20 countries, the website has a system and support in Portuguese, with the possibility of any transaction via PIX, a system launched by the Central Bank. The sports betting modality is a lottery where the bettor tries to predict the results of real sporting events, such as scoreboards, number of cards, who will score the first goal, etc. In it, the bettor knows at the moment the bet is placed, how much he can win in the event of a hit using a multiplier.
