Topic: BetKing sponsors kenya football , is it a publicity stunt ? - page 6. (Read 723 times)

My question, is this Betking in the topic is the same as the Betking that do some irregularities in crypto?

Betking.com, the one in the topic, doesn't support crypto. Betking.io is the one that does have negative reviews.

Might be Betking.io use other domain so that it can be dragged by the popularity of Betking.com? AFAIK, website name can be registered as same as long as they are using different domains?

Can someone clarify this or I'm totally wrong here?

The same. They've stolen my bounty reward. So i have doubts about people which too greedy to pay their workers for advertising (and we are not talking about their scam ICO where investors lost their money) but ready to spend so big amount of money for charity and football.

Exactly! For those that don't know their history, their move is great! However, a lot of us here in the forum know the truth about their profile. So I am assuming it is only a publicity stunt, maybe to rectify their bad reputation. But they need to address first their old issues before spending a lot of money to some sports team.

I think I'll consider this a good news if I don't know the reputation of BetKing in the forum, but no.. a scam site always have a dark reason behind the action. For those who don't know about the site, they can check the account in the forum - https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/betkingio-565024.

Seeing that it's Kenya, I think it's more likely that the actual amount spent on the league is a lie and part of a publicity stunt.
I.e., pay some officials in charge a gross sum, in turn they lie about how much you spent and you get off with some great advertising.

However, promotion of companies in a league's name isn't uncommon at all. In Greece the league licences its name to a company each year for a sum of money. From 2007 to 2017 the top league was named after the national betting company, and then 2017 2019 leagues was named after a water company that became a sponsor! Even a team did it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthi_F.C. and also had a car manufacturer's name in its crest for a few years. It's good advertising for the companies and good money for the teams to utilized.

IDK if this case is true in terms of the amounts, sounds like not, but Kenyan league could sure use some money and it would do good if managed right. Not unlikely that there was a sponsorship but I think the level of the amount sounds a bit much though.

AFAIK Betking has an issue and scammed people from the forum. There were feedbacks left on Dean's account. Before sponsoring, they should pay more attention to those people that they've brought inconvenience to make this news more reliable.

Rather than directly getting into large scale investment, it might have planned to enter the platform through second tier teams. If things go stable, automatically it'll focus on the next level of sponsorship. Sportsbet initiated the plan sponsoring for a football league, and it's success might have made betking go for it.

the article could just be a stunt by betking. they have been accused many times in the forum and did an ICO as well that god knows how it turned out. its very unusual for a scam to get into an article that surprisingly get an $11M deal.

i would be be surprise if betking will also have a dispute over taxes like the previous sportpesa. FKF better make sure of this deal and ask for show money. 

First of all, I want to say that I have not seen many positive comments about the service you mentioned.  Also, it is useful to know at the end that since the football league you mentioned belongs to the small country, there is a possibility that the bets made with match-fixing and similar events will affect the match result.  For this reason, I do not recommend you to use the service you mentioned or bet on the matches in this league.

Betking scammed me for $700. There's no way they have 11 million to spend.

Apparently Betking is sponsoring the Kenya football federation but Sportpesa Withdrew all sponsorships which actually supported local football teams .


Good thing :
-They are supporting the female league which is mostly overlooked

-By doing this they are extending their business to more people which is legal betting.

What do you guys think ? Should more betting sites and companies make a reasonable investment in popular sports , not only reasonable but responsible because as I see they are focusing on women and second tier teams..

This could mean it's giving the business a positive review.

P.S. Thank you so much for educating me about the scam , therefore I do think we have something more to discuss here :-

So BetKing Doing this must be a part of a big plan where they try and clear their image and at the same time scam more people for the long run , but 11 million$ is a lot ! Where are they getting all this money from .

I found this on Google :


But the thing is , I saw online and there are many websites out there related to BetKing , this can be just a vicious circle where more scammers use the name of the scammers themselves to scam more people.

______________

They might be trying to improve their image ??

Am really sorry for all the people who got scammed , I do hope you guys can leave your opinions and reviews here which would prevent future Investors to engage in such activities that might cause them to loose a lot of money .
