Arturo Vidal has launched his own betting platform Juego con el King: a new scandal?
Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich midfielder, and now a player of the Chilean club Colo-Colo Arturo Vidal announced the launch of his own betting and casino platform called Juego con el King. The athlete spoke about this on his social networks.
According to Vidal, a special lottery will be held for new users of the service with cash prizes, game consoles and smartphones. In his post, he wrote:
"Play with King, a new platform where passion for sports turns into a chance to win! High odds, 24/7 support and fast payouts! Register, bet and win on juegaconelking."
The project is aimed at the Chilean audience, which is explicitly stated on the company's official website. However, at the same time, the platform does not indicate the presence of licenses to operate, which has already caused dissatisfaction among representatives of the country's legal gambling operators. The latter have long opposed the influx of unlicensed brands that threaten the regulated market.
The situation is complicated by the fact that according to the rules of the International Football Federation (FIFA), active athletes are prohibited from being owners of bookmakers due to a possible conflict of interest. In this regard, in the near future we can expect an official reaction from football structures.
Vidal's project has just been launched, and a scandal is already beginning to flare up around it. Time will tell whether it will develop further or the athlete will have to curtail the business.

At first, I thought that the news was fake. Then I went to the site - and it really works! Tin.
wonder if the people will really run to register? Or they will still understand that without a license, the risks are crazy.
It seems to me that he simply did not think about the consequences. Usually football players are stupid
He seems to be still playing, and has not finished his career. I wonder how it all ends.
He doesn't give a, he has millions in his account, if he gets banned, he will open another office.
As always: they are ready for anything for money. Then they are surprised that their careers are collapsing...
