The creation of FlaBet could provide Flamengo with a significant new source of revenue
|
0The Deliberative Council of Flamengo is about to vote on the creation of an exclusive betting house for the club, 'FlaBet'. The proposal is expected to receive approval, but the project faces resistance due to concerns about possible conflicts of interest. FlaBet's proposal aims to take advantage of the growing sports betting market in Brazil.
With the popularity of betting on the rise, Flamengo sees an opportunity to generate additional revenue and increase fan interaction with the club. However, the initiative is not unanimous among council members. Opponents of FlaBet raise important questions about the club's integrity and transparency.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW NEGOTIATION TRACK
The main argument against the creation of the bookmaker is the potential conflict of interests. The concern is that the direct association between the club and a betting platform could compromise the credibility of sporting competitions and Flamengo's image. There is a fear that sporting decisions could be influenced by financial interests related to betting.
The vote to decide the future of FlaBet is scheduled for the next few days. The result will be crucial to determine whether Flamengo will move forward with this ambitious project. The club's management has made every effort to clarify advisors' doubts and concerns, highlighting the financial benefits and the adoption of measures to ensure transparency and separation between the club's and the bookmaker's operations.

Bookmakers are the biggest sponsors of 15 of the 20 Brasileirão teams.

0It is not new that bookmakers already dominate the main sponsorships of Brazilian football Series A clubs, and also of other clubs around the world. In this sense, the figures traded in the Brasileirão are close to almost half a billion reais per year.Market on the rise
The betting houses are biggest sponsors of 15 of the 20 teams in the Brasileirão. Only Bragantino, Cuiabá, Grêmio, Inter and Palmeiras do not have companies in the segment as their main sponsor. The combined value exceeds R$450 million annually. Of all those involved, only Criciúma and Vasco did not disclose the amounts involved in their commercial agreements.
The largest contract is that between Corinthians and Vai de Bet, which totals R$123 million per year. Flamengo, receiving R$85 million annually from Pixbet, appears close behind, followed by Superbet's agreements with São Paulo and Fluminense — at base values of R$52 million and R$42 million, respectively, not counting bonuses.
In addition to sponsorships, the segment also entered the naming rights business. Casa de Apostas purchased, at the end of last year, the right to name Arena Fonte Nova for four seasons for the sum of R$52 million.
Sponsorships multiplyingThe high Investment from bookmakers has been leveraging sponsorship values, making clubs receive more money. Vai de Bet's contract with Corinthians, for example, was closed at the beginning of this year, as was the readjustment of Pixbet's agreement with Flamengo.
For people linked to the segment and sports marketing, the tendency is for figures still increase. The very competition between companies in the sector makes contracts more crowded. As a result, clubs move more money in an increasingly inflated market.
