The sports betting and online gaming group Esportes da Sorte issued an official note, after being the target of an investigation by the Civil Police of Pernambuco.
According to the legal director, Gabriel Oliveira, the company defends itself against the accusations made by Operation Integration, claiming to operate ethically, with procedures approved by the Central Bank.
The statement also reinforces that the company is a pioneer in defending responsible gambling and its positive impact, generating more than 100 thousand jobs.
Official note from the Esportes da Sorte group
” Esportes da Sorte was created with the purpose of bringing entertainment and fun through an already consolidated market of great importance in the most diverse nations, including those considered “first world”. We went further, evolving into a new and legalized activity.
We humanize digital, we treat our partners and customers with utmost respect and transparency, always positioning ourselves eye to eye.
As everyone knows, we are validated within the highest standards of law and ethics, so much so that we are in the homes and lives of Brazilians every day, always through people, companies and institutions that align with our philosophy, whether through sports, major events, influencers and, of course, such respected organizations that, as could not be otherwise, placed us in the highest places on the podium, presented us in places never before occupied by others, after all, we are the bet chosen by the people.
So, now, it couldn’t be any different. The situation of recent days, triggered by Operation Integration, does a disservice to the nation and undermines what should be its purpose, the truth. We are “guilty” of transparency, “guilty” of having proof and operating legally, including all financial operations being carried out through honest institutions and procedures approved by the Central Bank.
More than 100 thousand jobs created
We are pioneers in raising the flag of responsible gaming and caring for our customers and partners. We fight bravely for effective, safe and responsible regulation. We achieved.
They accuse us of obscurity when, since our emergence, we place ourselves inside a room full of spotlights in the midday sun. We are certain of our innocence, we remain where we have always been, at the disposal of justice.
We are sure that this will all be remembered as a sad, unreasonable, disproportionate and irresponsible episode in history. What is happening advocates the country’s regression. The irresponsibility we are faced with has torn apart what is known about fundamental guarantees.
It is not just Esportes da Sorte and its leaders, the first victims of assumptions. They attacked more than 100,000 direct and indirect jobs generated by the sector, tarnishing the livelihoods of committed people, professionals from the most diverse areas, fathers, mothers, grandparents and children.
But we remain confident in the serious, impartial people committed to the truth who are part of such honorable institutions. They say that the damage to our image will be irreparable, a fact that we vehemently disagree with. We will emerge much stronger, after all, we are much more than BET.
Gabriel Oliveira, Legal Director Esportes da Sorte”.
