Comercial pursues HanzBet over unpaid sponsorship and signs EsportivaVip
Comercial Esporte Clube said on 23 July that it had taken legal action against HanzBet, seeking overdue payments and a contractual penalty after the sportsbook announced it would cease operations at month-end. The club named EsportivaVip as its new master sponsor under a 15-month contract; a HanzBet brand representative blamed the shutdown on a dispute with its operating partner, EA Entretenimento e Esportes LTDA.
The dispute concerns unpaid sponsorship obligations, while EsportivaVip’s 15-month deal replaces HanzBet as Comercial’s master sponsor.
