The NCAA denies partnership with gambling platform PlayTime Entertainment after broadcast promotions caused confusion.Summary
The NCAA clarified there is no partnership with PlayTime Entertainment, an online gambling platform, despite its branding and speeches appearing during the Season 102 opening-day broadcast. This led to confusion and criticism about gambling's influence on student audiences. An investigation revealed a league-commissioned agency negotiated directly with Cignal TV, unaware the NCAA had rejected the proposal. The NCAA is investigating and may terminate the agency. This incident echoes past controversies over gambling promotions in Philippine sports, such as with 1xBet in volleyball events.
