The process was obtained by columnist Gabriel Perline, from the portal IG, and runs at the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice. In addition to Neymar, Felipe Neto and other influencers, Blaze and companies that mediate payments are also mentioned.
The author said he had invested R$62,000 in the platform’s games. In addition to compensation for this amount, the man wants compensation of R$1 million for moral damages.
In the process, he details that he always saw influencers posting videos in which they appear multiplying the value of their bets. When searching for information, the plaintiff found videos on YouTube that showed that the accounts used by the influencers were a “training” profile on the betting platform. In other words, in the videos made by content creators there was no chance of losing money.
“This finding leads us to the obvious, the platform’s training/fake/demo account has a different algorithm from the ‘real’ account, the person sees the influencers betting, earning so-called ‘extra income’, without knowing that they use the demo account, when betting on the ‘real’ account, with a different algorithm, the person loses their bets”, says the action.
