FBC Melgar has proudly confirmed Stake as its new Official Sponsor for the 2025 season. This strategic alliance strengthens the club’s commitment to growth and success, marking a significant milestone in the history of “El Dominó.”
Stake, recognised as one of the world’s leading online betting platforms, will feature its logo exclusively on the chest of the men’s first team jerseys.
Additionally, Stake will also appear on the chest of the women’s team and Liga 3 jerseys, marking a historic milestone for the club as it is the first time FBC Melgar’s Official Sponsor has supported all these categories comprehensively.
This agreement highlights Stake’s commitment to FBC Melgar and its support for the club’s growth across all its categories.
Ricardo Bettocchi, Administrator of FBC Melgar said: “This alliance with Stake reinforces our commitment to keep FBC Melgar as a reference in Peruvian and South American football. Having the support of an international brand that trusts our project is a great step to continue strengthening all our categories. We are excited about the benefits that this collaboration will bring to our institution and to the entire ‘rojinegra’ family.”
The partnership includes various initiatives aimed at enriching the fan experience, both at the stadium and through special activations and exclusive benefits. With this sponsorship, Stake and FBC Melgar strengthen a bond that promises great achievements both on and off the field.
Stake expanded its regulated market footprint by securing casino and sportsbook licences to launch in Peru’s online gaming market last year. The operator also has a strong regulated presence in Latam through Stake Colombia, and Stake Brazil.
Diana Otálora, Latam Manager at Stake, stated: “At Stake, we are proud to partner with FBC Melgar, a historic club that represents passion and excellence, reinforcing our vision of connecting with sports communities in Latin America and actively contributing to their success. This agreement, in the context of the growing regulated market in Peru, reflects our intention to contribute to the development of football at all levels and our presence in the region.”
As part of this collaboration, Stake Peru is launching unique promotions for “rojinegros” fans. Users can register at stake.pe using the affiliate code DOMINO to receive a free bet of S/20 to enjoy a complimentary wager and experience the excitement of football with even more passion.

ACR POKER INJECTS DAILY DOSE OF THRILL INTO TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE WITH LAUNCH OF DAILY MYSTERY BOUNTY EVENTS

Monster top bounty of 10% of the total prize pool up for grabs starting this weekend
ACR Poker today announced the addition of Daily Mystery Bounty events to its tournament lineup starting this Sunday, August 3rd, delivering unmatched entertainment, thrilling action, and big wins to the tables.
Daily Mystery Bounty tournaments turn traditional bounty formats on their head. Once players are in the money, instead of receiving a fixed reward for eliminating an opponent, players receive a Mystery Bounty Chest revealing a mystery reward, with the top bounty prize being 10% of the total prize pool.
“Mystery Bounties are just pure fun,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “You never know what you’re going to get when you knock someone out, it could be some random treasure or a monster bounty that flips your whole tournament. With same-day events, fast action and bounty madness on your daily calendar, it keeps the adrenaline going and makes every hand way more exciting.”
The Daily Mystery Bounty schedule features a range of tourneys and buy-ins, with highlights including the $250K GTD Sunday Funday ($215 buy-in), the $150K GTD Major Mash Up ($66 buy-in), and the $100K GTD Moorman’s Mayhem ($630 buy-in). Starting this Sunday, players can log into the ACR Poker client, open the Tournaments tab, and find the full lineup of Daily Mystery Bounty events in the regular schedule under upcoming events.
And don’t forget, the Mystery Bounty madness continues in ACR Poker’s massive Dual Venom tournaments taking place from Sunday, August 10th to Tuesday, August 26th. Not only are the $2,650 buy-in tourneys offering huge guarantees of $8 million in the NHL event and $2 million in the PLO event, but there are massive bounties on the table for those who knock out their competitors.
In the Venom NLH, eliminating just one opponent could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000. While in the Venom PLO, which ties ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha tourney ever, there’s a juicy $200,000 bounty for the taking. And that’s not all, every knockout in both tourneys earns players a minimum bounty of at least $5,000.

AGA Research Reveals Consumers Know Sweepstakes Casinos are Gambling

As gaming regulators, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures continue to scrutinize the business practices of online “sweepstakes” casinos, new research shows that consumers overwhelmingly use these platforms to gamble – and that sweepstakes operators are heavily targeting players in key states. By exploiting loopholes in the law, these operations undermine the integrity of the legal, regulated gaming marketplace.
According to Sensor Tower data compiled by the American Gaming Association (AGA), half of all online, real-money casino advertisements seen by consumers in early 2025 promoted offshore “sweepstakes” casinos. The data shows these unregulated operators concentrate their advertising in populous states.
“These operators present themselves like legal, regulated platforms – but they operate outside the law and regulation. There are few if any responsible gaming tools, no regulatory oversight, and no consumer protections. It’s a dangerous subterfuge that puts players at real risk,” said AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York.
Despite operating outside the regulated gaming market, “sweepstakes” casinos are widely perceived by players as gambling platforms, with 68% of users saying their primary reason for playing is to win real money. This confusion is no accident – many of these sites mimic the look, feel, and language of legal operators, blurring the line for consumers and reinforcing the need for clearer enforcement and public education.
Key findings include:
• 90% of sweepstakes casino users consider the activity to be gambling.
• 69% describe sweepstakes casinos as places to wager real money.
• 80% of sweepstakes players spend monthly, and nearly half spend weekly, without the safety nets offered by regulated operators.
The number of monthly sweepstakes casino players is twice as high in states lacking sweepstakes prohibitions.
“Sweepstakes” casinos aggressively market on popular digital platforms throughout the country. Legal, regulated gaming operators, by contrast, advertise responsibly in legal states where consumer protections and regulatory oversight are in place.
“The data is clear. Consumers see right through the ‘sweepstakes’ casino facade and they’re calling it what it is: gambling. We look forward to policymakers continuing to enforce their laws and create clarity through new policy measures to protect their residents,” added York.
