Chile lawmakers propose barring footballers from promoting betting companies
A bill presented in Chile would prohibit professional footballers from appearing as the public face of betting advertising. Lawmakers Marco Antonio Sulantay and Hotuiti Teao said the proposal seeks to address conflicts of interest and exposure among younger audiences; it also cites concerns about potential match-fixing risks without accusing any player.
Betting operators and sports advertisers may face restrictions on using professional footballers if the bill advances.
