Neymar came under the gaze of the French authorities after advertising gambling games

According to RMC Sport, the authorities were notified after Neymar lost €1 million on roulette last month. The session was broadcast on the Brazilian Twitch channel as part of a commercial partnership with Blaze, an operator not approved in France.

Online casino games from unauthorized operators are banned in France, as is their advertising, writes News.ro.

The National Gambling Authority is trying its best to combat and regulate this growing market, which is very popular among minors.

It is specifically aimed at the publicity made in connection with this operation. The context of online casino advertising on international platforms is very difficult to control.

It remains to be seen whether Neymar was in France during this live broadcast, the quoted source said.
