A major setback for ANFP and Chilean sports
This measure was analyzed by Baeza, the legal representative of the platforms Betano, Betsson, BetWarrior, Coolbet, and Latamwin. In an interview with adnradio.cl, he assured that “this cannot be good news" for Chilean sports.
"It cannot be good news that a new platform stops sponsoring sports in Chile. In addition to the announcement made by Betway a few days ago, now we have Betsson, one of the most important sponsors of sports worldwide, which supported the regulation of online betting platforms in our country for over a year," said the lawyer, who warned of possible sponsorships fleeing from football clubs in the coming days.
"We cannot rule out that other platforms may stop sponsoring football and other sports, which undoubtedly could leave hundreds of athletes in Chile without the necessary resources to practice their sports and compete internationally," he revealed.
"The defamation campaign is leaving sports in Chile without sponsorship, and they have done it with the sole intention of taking over a market that does not belong to them," he concluded.
