why online betting sites are fighting

It is a debate that continues to agitate French fans. The French team did he really lose the last match of the World Cup against Tunisia? As a reminder, the end of the match proved to be confusing between the two teams. Guided by the time, the French thought to equalize in the 98th minute after a goal by Antoine Griezmann, but after validating the goal, then blowing the end of the game, the referee was called by the video of the assistance to the arbitration (VAR ) to report an offside position by the attacker. He therefore decides to disallow the French goal and therefore offers the victory to the Eagles of Carthage.

Problem, the rules of the game published by theCouncil of the International Football Federation (IFAB), state that “if play is restarted after being stopped, the referee can only carry out an analysis in the event of a mistaken identity or an offense liable to exclusion (violence, spitting, biting, offensive remarks or acts, rude or offensive)”. The French Football Federation has also filed appeal about this topic.

However, officially, France has, for the time being, lost the match. This situation has become like this a puzzle for the different sports betting sites.

Platforms with different strategies

Official partner of the FFF since August 2021, the site Betclick he thus announces that he will grant, “exceptionally”, two good results. Through a message on social media, the company assured bettors that they bet on a victory for Tunisia as well as those who predicted a draw they will see all their bets validated. Same thing for bets on a goal by Griezmann. This desire to stand out
by Betclic it could therefore be seen as a commercial strategy that aims at keep some of its users… and attract others.

Other platforms preferred not to communicate on the matter and automatically followed the official result. Questioned on Twitter, Unibet he explained to internet users that the club had to “follow the official result given that it is 1-0 for Tunisia”. It remains to be seen what the platforms will do in case of a new turnaroundcertainly unlikely.

As a reminder, gambling addiction prevention messages systematically accompany announcements and advertisements in favor of online betting.
