Betsson becomes an Official Sponsor of Colo Colo in 2022

 

Chile’s top team becomes another major milestone in Betsson’s expansion plan in South America

Betsson Group, the global gaming operator behind the sports and entertainment website, betsson.com, announces that it has signed a one-year sponsorship agreement with Colo Colo in Chile.

Regarded as the most successful club of Chilean football and the only one that has never been relegated, Colo Colo has positioned itself as the most popular team in Chile and the top winner of the Chilean First Division with 32 titles. This sponsorship marks another step in Betsson’s international brand strategy of partnering with local and international reputable sport competitions.

During 2021, Betsson Group has been very active in sponsorships in Latin America. Besides being the official regional sponsor of CONMEBOL Copa América 2021, Betsson also became the naming sponsor of Peru’s Liga 1 and of the Campeonato de Ascenso in Chile. Betsson is also the betting partner of La Roja on a digital level, making it the first sponsor in this category for the Chilean National Team.

Betsson’s support for South American football has now extended to Colo Colo which is the only Chilean team that has won the prestigious Copa Libertadores. This South American premier club football tournament, organised by CONMEBOL, returns this year with Colo Colo once again being one of the participating teams.

Andrea Rossi, Commercial Director for South America at Betsson Group said, “In our drive of expanding in the region, we are also partnering up with local football clubs which we can support and grow. Besides allowing us to further strengthen our brand awareness in the region, it also gives back to the clubs, allowing them to invest more in their players, staff and facilities making the sport we all love – football – more electrifying.”

The global sponsorship agreement between Colo Colo and Betsson Group will cover the 2022 season with the possibility of renewal. Once Colo Colo is back on the field, the renowned team’s jersey will sport Betsson’s logo on the sleeve, fully respecting the historical colors of the club, adapting to black and white in its home and away version.

Likewise, at Colo Colo, President Edmundo Valladares appraised the agreement. “We are very pleased about this sponsorship. Colo Colo is once again synonymous of great and good and attracting such commercial agreements. This helps us in positioning ourselves as a very valuable institution, both from a sportive point of view and certainly also on the global arena which we, as leaders of football on a national level must have.”

On his part, the Commercial Manager of Colo Colo, Samuel Pérez, said that “We are very proud to welcome one of the most important gambling operators in the world, Betsson, to our family of sponsors. We consider this agreement as a milestone and the beginning of a new stage for the club. Associating with a company with 55+ years of international experience will undoubtedly help us to improve Colo Colo’s positioning at a regional and global level.”

ADG PSA: Consumer Protection Alert – Rise in Fraudulent Online Casinos Targeting Arizonans

ADG PSA: Consumer Protection Alert – Rise in Fraudulent Online Casinos Targeting Arizonans

 

The Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) is issuing this Consumer Protection Alert to inform Arizonans of a concerning nationwide trend that has now reached Arizona. Fraudulent operators are falsely claiming that legitimate Arizona casinos have launched online gaming platforms. These illegal online casino platforms are presenting themselves as legitimate platforms by offering illegitimate or illegal gaming services. Online casinos (often referred to as “igaming”) are not legal in Arizona. Any claims otherwise should be treated as highly suspicious. These scams not only put players at financial risk but also undermine the integrity of Arizona’s regulated gaming industry.

ADG has received multiple reports of fraudulent online casinos targeting Arizonans, as well as complaints from patrons who have been misled. These scams are being widely disseminated through social media advertisements directing consumers to download apps and visit websites, and are enticing unsuspecting consumers to spend money on illegitimate games.

The Arizona Department of Gaming urges residents to verify the legitimacy of any online gaming platform before engaging in play. Many of these operations are not legal or regulated, leaving users vulnerable to fraud, identity theft, and other serious risks. Due to their unregulated nature, ADG is unable to resolve complaints and disputes arising from unregulated and illegal gaming sites, leaving victims with little to no chance of recovering lost funds. It is important to remember that just because you can download the app, visit the website, and play the games, it does not mean it is a legitimate and legal gaming platform.

In light of these developments, the Department encourages both Arizona residents and visitors to visit our website to find a list of all regulated casinos and licensed event wagering and fantasy sports operators legally taking bets in Arizona. The list can be found on the Department’s website at gaming.az.gov. Legal, regulated operations provide important consumer protections not found in the illegal market, helping ensure a safer experience for participants.

The Dangers of Illegal Online Casinos:

Fraudulent online casinos often mimic reputable platforms, using familiar branding, flashy advertisements, and enticing promotions to lure victims. These unregulated operations leave participants vulnerable to:

  • Financial loss through fake gaming platforms or fraudulent prize fees.
  • Identity theft resulting from shared personal or financial information.

Common Red Flags of Illegal Platforms:

These deceptive platforms often use tactics such as:

  • Mimicking branding of legitimate Arizona casinos, including similar or actual logos and names.
  • Enticing promotions that appear too good to be true, such as excessive bonuses or guaranteed wins, luring players into providing sensitive information.
  • Incorrect Website URL/Mobile App – Fraudulent sites often use web addresses that closely mimic legitimate casino names but have slight misspellings or different domain extensions (e.g., .net instead of .com).

How to Protect Yourself:

  • Check before you bet: verify the licensed and regulated casinos and operators in Arizona.
  • Be skeptical of advertisements or promotions on social media promising guaranteed wins or no-risk gaming.
  • Avoid sharing personal or financial information with unverified sources.
  • Look for sites that include resources for dispute resolution, as well as self-exclusion, responsible gaming messaging, or a toll-free helpline number.

Reporting Suspicious Activity, Fraud, or Identity Theft:

If you encounter fraud, identity theft, or suspicious online gaming operations, apps, or websites impersonating a casino or claiming to be a licensed operator in Arizona, please take the following steps:

  1. Document the website URL, app, business name, and any promotional materials associated with the fraudulent operator.
  2. Report it to ADG at [email protected] and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office Consumer Information and Complaints Unit at (602) 542-5763 or by visiting azag.gov/consumer.
  3. Cease activity on the platform and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions.

If you suspect identity theft, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”): for help in English, go to IdentityTheft.gov and for help in Spanish, go to RobodeIdentidad.gov.
