Reaction
- On June 5th, Felipe Neto, one of Blaze's sponsors, reacts. From then on, the Rio native uses his Twitter to speak out after a storm of criticism he received for promoting the casino. He defends the company, claiming that it is the target of a “smear campaign”.
- Neto argues that “all betting sites and casinos have complaints and pose risks, but only Blaze is being persecuted”. He questionto the reason of only going after one site when they are all involved in similar activities.
- Felipe Neto highlights that he has always warned his followers about the risks of betting, something that, according to him, TV, football teams and several YouTube channels have never done.
- It is worth mentioning that other influential names on the internet were also mentioned in the video, such as Júlio Cocielo, Maicon Kuster and even Neymar was included in the bag.
- After the published position, a follower accuses Felipe Neto of being an affiliate of Blaze, but he denies it and calls the YouTuber who accuses him of being a liar.
- Furthermore, Neto also reveals that the Flow Podcast, which Daniel Penin participated in on Monday (5), is also sponsored by a bookmaker, Esportes da Sorte.
For Felipe Neto, Blaze should not be the only one responsible
- Felipe Neto argues that the responsibility for promoting a betting house should not only fall on him, but also on football teams and TV channels, such as Rede Globo.
- According to him, Rede Globo profited R$175 million from a contract with PixBet for the World Cup. On the other hand, it is not known how much the influencer earned from the Blaze business.
- Finally, he suggests that the criticism is not about online casinos, but about influencers making money.
- Still on social media, Felipe Neto said he will sue the YouTuber who accused him.
- Back to the video, Penin also narrates in the publication's description that he is even suffering reprisals for the complaint: “I am putting my channel at risk by making this video, considering that many other channels are being penalized and having their videos removed from YouTube for try to go head to head with Blaze.”
- Felipe Neto was contacted by the report through his advisor, but did not respond. Daniel Penin was contacted through his social networks, but, until the publication of this report, he also did not respond. Blaze does not provide contact forms for the press, nor does it have legal representation in Brazil.
