Wildz and FC Schalke 04 agree to a two-year sponsorship agreement
Wildz Casino has recently signed a two-year sponsorship deal with German football club FC Schalke 04, marking a push to expand its brand visibility in sports. This agreement will place the Wildz logo prominently at Schalke's Veltins-Arena and on the club’s social media platforms. However, for a brand that was once at the top of the casino world, one might argue that Wildz’s priorities have shifted from players to profits.
Sponsoring sports teams might increase exposure, but it also raises ethical concerns. When famous athletes promote online casinos, especially to young fans, it mirrors the way some streamers irresponsibly target minors, promoting gambling using "candy wrappers" or gimmicks. This form of advertising risks normalizing gambling in ways that could be harmful to younger audiences, blurring lines of responsible promotion.
Wildz was once highly rated by players, partly for its strong RTP (Return to Player) offerings. Yet, in recent years, it has reduced RTPs rather than investing in better gameplay experiences for users. A focus on raising RTPs could create a fairer, more appealing environment for players—a more customer-centered move than funding high-profile sports sponsorships.
FC Schalke 04 CEO Matthias Tillmann has commented that the partnership emphasizes "fair play and the fun of the game," aligning with the ethos of Wildz. However, if the casino truly wants to support fair play, prioritizing competitive RTPs and player benefits over flashy sponsorships might speak louder to a fair gaming experience.

Spartan113 Informative, thanks to the author! Now I will know that this has happened. The lesson for the future is to check everything three times.
MisterM1mba One thing is clear – if the software is buggy, then it is a casino problem. Why should a player suffer?
Yukiiihira The coefficient for the passage of the Villa is almost 10! I took it purely for fun, you never know, suddenly like Barca once.

Smoolbeansam Do I think it's getting harder and harder to understand the rules in these new slots? It used to be simple - you spin the reels and look at the lines. And now there are some pedestals, cascades, respins... I'm completely confused! And what is volatility? Can anyone explain it in simple terms?

This is concerning. Sports stars influence young fans, and promoting casinos feels like a step in the wrong direction. Wish casinos would show more responsibility with their marketing.
Wildz, how about bringing back competitive RTPs before signing sports deals? At least make it fair for us players. Sponsoring sports stars won't make me go back if the RTP is low.
I remember when Wildz was all about high RTP and fun gameplay! It seems they’d rather boost their name than keep players happy. Lowering RTP was a big disappointment for me.
Honestly, when I see my favorite team promoting an online casino, it feels off. Gambling ads should be kept away from sports that attract kids—this could really backfire.
I used to like Wildz, but seeing them splash money on sports sponsorships instead of raising their RTPs for loyal players feels like a sellout. Athletes advertising casinos sends a mixed message, especially to young fans.
