So, Switzerland’s gambling watchdog, Gespa, is sniffing around FIFA’s blockchain “right-to-buy” tokens. 🕵️♂️ What’s next, investigating if soccer is actually a sport? 🤷♂️
The Gambling Law Fiasco
Apparently, Gespa is trying to figure out if FIFA’s fancy blockchain tokens are just a glorified slot machine. Manuel Richard, the guy in charge, says they’re not done poking their noses into this. 🧐 In a chat with Bloomberg, he basically said, “We’re not sure if this is gambling or just FIFA being FIFA, but we’re gonna keep digging.” 🕳️
Richard told Bloomberg, “We’re not closing this case just yet. Next stop: more paperwork. Yay.” 📑 Meanwhile, no one actually complained-Bloomberg just asked, and Gespa decided to make a federal case out of it. 📰
These tokens, launched in 2024, are like a lottery ticket but with more steps. Pay $999, and *maybe* get to buy World Cup tickets-if your team doesn’t choke. 🥅 So far, FIFA’s made $15 million off this scheme. Cha-ching! 💸 But hey, only eight countries’ tokens sold out. The rest? Probably sitting in someone’s digital junk drawer. 🗑️
Critics are like, “This is gambling with extra steps!” 🎰 Most people will end up with useless digital trinkets. But FIFA’s like, “It’s not gambling, it’s *collecting*!” Sure, Jan. 😐 The whole thing smells fishier than a post-game locker room. 🐟
Remember the good old days when tickets were just… tickets? First-come, first-served. No blockchain, no tokens, no nonsense. Now it’s all “conditional access” and secondary markets. 🤦♂️ FIFA’s turning soccer into a crypto casino, and Gespa’s here to ask, “Wait, is this even legal?” 🏛️
