Chile – Vote on sports advertising ban delayed
By James - 20. března 2023
Zástupce Marco Antonio Sulantay has demanded that the bill that seeks to prohibit advertising during sports events be discussed after it was withdrawn from the Chamber of Deputies. The bill had been approved by the Sports Commission in the lower house and was scheduled for a vote this week.
In Prosinec 2022 Poslanecká sněmovna jednomyslně schválila zákaz poslance Sulantaye on the advertising of sports betting. The ban was approved in general terms with 118 votes in favour, one against and three abstentions.
Projekt navrhuje zákaz jakékoli smlouvy mezi online sázkovými platformami se sportovními organizacemi, ať už profesionály, kluby, asociacemi, nadacemi, federacemi a dalšími. Další článek iniciativy zakazuje reklamu a sponzorství platforem ve vztahu ke sportu, „bez ohledu na médium nebo podporu, kterou je přenášena nebo publikována, a bez ohledu na dobu nebo událost, ve které je inzerována nebo sponzorována“. Kromě toho zakazuje reklamu těchto platforem prostřednictvím sponzorství dresů a na jakémkoli sportovišti.
The lawmaker asked why the initiative had been withdrawn adding that the delay at the very last minute led to questions over transparency. “There is a lot of pressure here because of the money committed,” he said.
The deputy also criticized the presence of Národní asociace profesionálního fotbalu (ANFP) officials in Congress offices last week, prior to the vote on the project. “I demand that, for transparency, the project be voted on as soon as possible and thus avoid further suspicion,” he said.
