UK ad watchdog spanks Kwiff’s non-existent betting odds

The UK’s advertising watchdog has slammed a betting operator for offering fake odds, something that is generally frowned upon by the betting public.

On Wednesday, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) upheld a complaint against Eaton Gate Gaming Ltd, which operates a mobile betting app in the UK under the Kwiff brand. Kwiff’s unique selling point is its propensity to randomly “boost or supercharge” a customer’s betting odds up to 2,000x higher.

Two punters complained about a Kwiff television commercial that claimed one of its customers had his odds on “Paris Saint Germain to beat Celtic” supercharged from 11/8 to 80/1. This claim was repeated both in the commercial voiceover and accompanying text, yet the complainants claim Kwiff had never offered odds of 11/8 for PSG to beat Celtic.

Kwiff’s defense centered around its claim that a punter had placed a £5 bet on “PSG to win & only one or no team scores” and that the advert displayed a ‘simplified version’ of this wager.

Sazka Group acquires Croatian gaming operator SuperSport

Czech Republic gaming operator Sazka Group has acquired Croatia’s largest sports betting operator SuperSport.

Last Friday, the Sazka Group announced that it had bought a controlling stake in SuperSport, Crotia’s leading online and land-based sports betting operator in revenue terms. The price Sazka paid to SuperSport owner Danko Ćorić to complete the transaction wasn’t disclosed.

Sazka Group CEO Robert Chvátal celebrated the acquisition as a way to “gain access to an attractive market” while also strengthening Sazka’s position “in the dynamic sports betting sector via the internet.”

SuperSport began life in 2000 and quickly established itself as a major player in Crotia’s legal gaming market with over 300 retail betting shops and an online sportsbook. An online casino site launched in 2016, and the market’s first locally licensed online poker site followed in 2017. The company has a payroll of roughly 1k staff and its Croatian betting license is valid until 2025.
