Athletico Paranaense midfielder and the face of the operator Novibet, Arturo Vidal, was asked by one of his Twitch channel followers about betting houses, and he defended the financial contribution of this industry.
Arturo Vidal, a midfielder for Chilean National Team and Athletico Paranaense, made a case for betting houses after tumultuous days for the relationship between such platforms and Chilean football.
It is worth noting that the ANFP (National Association of Professional Football) received instructions to terminate its contracts with online casinos, while some clubs in the National Championship decided to remove their advertising from their jerseys.
During his usual Twitch broadcasts, 'El Rey' was asked about his view on betting platforms in Chilean football, and he staunchly defended them.
"All countries are using betting houses for football to grow, for money to come in because they contribute a lot," Vidal stated.
"Here in Chile, it seems like we want to sink local football. We are already sinking, and even more so now with these things, taking money away from the teams, from the national team, which is suffering a lot," added the Athletico Paranaense midfielder.
To conclude, Arturo Vidal emphasized: "If no one else puts money in, where are we going to get it from? How is football going to grow like this?"
