PANews reported on October 17th that, according to Bloomberg, Swiss gambling regulator Gespa has filed a criminal complaint with prosecutors, accusing FIFA's "FIFA Collect" platform of providing unauthorized gambling services by selling blockchain tokens tied to World Cup tickets (including "Right to Buy" and "Right to Final" tokens). Gespa stated that the products involved were part lottery and part sports betting, and launched a preliminary investigation into the platform earlier this month. The platform allows token holders to purchase tickets first or trade them on the secondary market. FIFA has not yet responded. Gespa stated that it is legally required to notify the competent prosecutor upon becoming aware of any violations.PANews reported on October 17th that, according to Bloomberg, Swiss gambling regulator Gespa has filed a criminal complaint with prosecutors, accusing FIFA's "FIFA Collect" platform of providing unauthorized gambling services by selling blockchain tokens tied to World Cup tickets (including "Right to Buy" and "Right to Final" tokens).
