A wave of gambling site promotion ahead of the World Cup football matches

Ahead of major football events, sports-focused Telegram channels have begun an aggressive advertising wave for online gambling sites targeting the Iranian public. The channels جام جهانی فوتبال Sport Bad News and فوتبالی| اخبار و خبر ورزشی سه are promoting the site 'Derby Bet', while promising a "100% bonus on first deposit" and diverse deposit options including cryptocurrencies, bank transfers, and "voucher" services.

The advertisers emphasize the importance of using sites with "international licensing," with the channel Sport Bad News noting that the promoted site holds an 'anjuan' type license. Conversely, the channel Soccer IRAN | نت ملی chose to promote the 'Maf Bet' platform, which displays an "official license from Curacao" and promises users daily benefits including a "Free Bet" and a wheel of fortune.

It should be noted that all reported channels operate as sports content platforms that combine editorial content with sponsored advertising for gambling platforms. The ads highlight the speed of fund withdrawals (up to 5 minutes at 'Derby Bet') and data security as key selling points for users interested in placing bets during the tournament.
