Australian Football League (AFL) has signed a yearly €4.9 million gambling partnership deal with BetEasy, that will run for up to five years.
The main actors in the sport seem to be on board with it, like Magpies coach Nathan Buckley. He actually criticised penalising players betting on themselves and yet getting profit from it.
“There is a bit of an irony in penalising someone for gambling but then receiving money for it,” he said.
Still, there are some negative comments on the AFL and its gambling involvement.
“The AFL will abandon their right to moral leadership in the community. These ads groom our kids to become addicts and exploit their love of their football heroes,” Alliance for Gambling Reform spokesman Tim Costello said.
