Zico at Afiliados Latam: “I’ve always supported gaming and I’m happy to be a Pixbet ambassador”

Pixbet scored a goal at Afiliados Latam, BiS's partner event, by bringing the brand's ambassador, the glorious Zico, to Espaço JK. “Galinho de Quintino” participated in a lecture with Alessandro Valente, president of Afiliados Latam and BiS, signed autographs at bookmaker’s booth and spoke exclusively with Games Magazine Brasil. “I've always liked to set aside some change to play in casinos, in Las Vegas and Monaco, and I've been to bingos in Spain many times,” he said.

Pixbet scored a great goal by partnering with Zico as brand ambassador a few months ago, and at Afiliados Latam one of the greatest Brazilian football players of all time, was with the bookmaker at the event.

The brand ambassador participated in a panel with Alessandro Valente, where he spoke about his rich and successful career, the social actions in which he always participates and welcomed the partnership with Pixbet.

“I don't see anything wrong with betting. For a long time, when I was still living in Quitino, I played the jogo do bicho many times and helped to hide some points from the police pursuit, since it was always a criminal misdemeanor. But they are workers and I have always respected them and been respected by them, even before I was Zico,” he said.

For him, there is no problem in setting aside “a little money to bet. I've always done my little thing, I've played in casinos in many places around the world, like Las Vegas and Monaco, as well as I went to bingos in Spain,” he said, noting that “I've always been in favor of gaming.”

“We have to respect the wishes of each one with regard to betting. Each one has the right to come and go, as long as he respects the other's right. Some say it can become an addiction. For me, it's a big exaggeration, as there are very few people who engage in gambling to the point of becoming addicted. Sports betting is entertainment and even completes the act of cheering on for your favorite team,” he said.
 


“As for Pixbet, it is a joy to be with them as a brand ambassador and a great satisfaction for them to sponsor my favorite team, Flamengo,” he said.

Finally, he told GMB: “I will take advantage and bet on Pixbet in Brazil as a World Cup champion. I will still wait to analyze the odds, in the future, to choose the top scorer of Qatar 2022.”
