Ep 89: Paquetá & Brazil - Spot fixing in the spotlight

iGaming Daily - A podcast by SBC Media

The footballing world has once again found itself engulfed in a betting scandal, this time revolving around West Ham and Brazil's Lucas Paquetá.On the heels of Ivan Toney's suspension for over 232 betting breaches, the FA has now been made aware of irregular betting patterns in his native Brazil on bookings received by Paquetá, who according to the Daily Mail has been under investigation from the FA for 5 months. While the world discusses how this decision may impact Paquetá's footballing career, iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit LatinoAmerica, will turn our attention to what impacts this could have in Paqueta’s home country Brazil, who have recently been putting the final touches on its regulated sports betting market and probably couldn’t have come at the worst time. We have the ideal panel to discuss these issues, with host James Ross joined by Insider Sport editor Joe Streeter, SBC's head of LatAm Media Lucía Mouriño, and SBC Notícias Brasil Senior Journalist, Isadora Marcante.
