Australian Football League Signed Partnership Deal With BetEasy
Australia is one of the countries that is leading in the gambling industry with all of the venues and the infrastructure that they use for the development of the industry. Gambling is one of the major activities for the citizens as the vast majority of Australians have been involved in one or another type of gambling activity.
It has been working this way for very long. Some time ago it was published and additional researches were conducted in order to figure out the number and the general activity of citizens involved in the gambling activity. It came out right as there is an extremely high rate of gambling addicts in the country. It is a well-known fact that most of the gamblers are already addicted to gambling. They gamble in the casinos as well as in the online casinos and most of them bet. Betting is perhaps one of the most popular activities in Australia. There are a lot of sports developed in the country. Especially the horse racing and football. Both of the sports are very popular among the citizens as Australians love to watch sports as well as to participate in the matter of betting.
The Collaboration
There have been recent partnerships with the sports teams with the betting operators in Australia. From one side this is the good news as more people will have the opportunity to take up the activity and track the progress and performance of the teams, while the other side of society considers this to be very bad news.
It has been reported last week that the Australian Football League (AFL) signed up the partnership with one of the largest betting operators in Australia, which is the BetEasy. The contract will be valid for another five years, making it one of the leading operators in the country as well as leaving it to be one of the major activities for the country.
There is the other side of the coin as well. The footballers and sportsmen actually bet themselves and get a profit out of it, which is criticized by many people and it is said that it is against moral conduct and simply is not the correct approach to the subject. The main issue with the signed partnership is that the very high rate of addicts in the country remains as the main issue for the families as well as for the government.
The government has already taken up some measures in order to cease the problem. There have been implemented several regulations in order to help out addicts and to prevent some more addition within the citizens. Consequently, it is not a surprise that many people would have been unhappy regarding the news of the partnership of Australia’s main sports, and the major player in the sports industry Australian Football League to be anyhow connected and corresponding to the gambling sector and industry.
Two Sides Of The Coin
According to the reactions and the comments that have been made in regards to the five-year partnership, many people consider the new deal to be against the morals and against the nature of the sports as well as the values, which should be the core base of the AFL.
To be precise, there have been several comments made regarding the partnership, stating that this can increase the number of gamblers even more if considering the love and the interesting in betting from the side of Australian citizens. It can also increase the number of addiction to gambling, which is not really what families and generally people ould have to love to happen in the future with future generations. Despite the negative comments the partnership seems to be very efficient and beneficial from the economical point of perspective.
This is something that should be considered as well if talking about the big deals from the two major operators of the two major industries in the country. Though, for some people, the deal still abandons the moral conduct of the AFL, which is unacceptable if especially considering the big interest from the society of the performance of the team and the big interest towards the betting. The new agreement is no how expected to cease the problem with the addiction for now, unless introducing the new regulations in the future.
