Match research
We represent the legal houses of Colombia. Any doubt that arises has no cause for us and we invest a lot of money as if there were doubts about what we do.
We have a sponsorship contract and we pay a fee to have a t-shirt or a billboard, but we have no connection with the championship, we have nothing to do with it in the development of the tournament.
Warning systems
Regarding the legal bets that we monitored, there were none, certain types of bets can be canceled automatically, but those that we cannot control are illegal ones or illegal betting houses, we cannot control this.
We have verified some issues that have happened, but here is a complicated issue and it is the evidentiary issue. Sometimes we remove the offer and it becomes uncomfortable in Colombian soccer, the idea is to have the betting offer within the category.
What we have seen the most are some doubts in B, the most important thing has been that we are calm.
We have a social responsibility program already established, where it lets us see how much you are betting and if you are going over your budget. We have a topic of messages to minors, we have a social development program.
