Wave of advertisements for gambling sites ahead of the World Cup

In the last 24 hours, the Telegram network has been flooded with marketing content from online gambling sites, attempting to attract users ahead of the upcoming World Cup events. The publications, coming from sources such as جام جهانی فوتبال Sport Bad News, Soccer IRAN | نت ملی and other channels, focus on promises of monetary bonuses and fast deposit processes.

According to the channel جام جهانی فوتبال Sport Bad News, a site named 'MafBet' is offering its users a '100% sign-up bonus', 'weekly loss refunds', and 'the option for fast withdrawal', while claiming to hold an 'official Curacao license'. At the same time, these channels as well as the channel فوتبالی| اخبار و خبر ورזשי سه are promoting the site 'DerbyBet', which promises users a 'double first deposit' and notes that it operates under an 'Anjouan license'.

The publications emphasize the financial accessibility of the sites, as it was noted in فوتبالی| اخبار و خبر ورزשי سه that the site 'DerbyBet' allows 'deposits via cryptocurrencies, vouchers, and Rial payment methods'. It is worth noting that the reporting channels are likely operating as affiliate marketing platforms for gambling sites, and therefore their content is distinctly biased in favor of promoting the mentioned sites, without presenting risks or critical reports regarding the reliability of the platforms.
