Football: Respect and dialogue needed to restore normality as breakaway league is strongly disapproved

The FIFA President emphasised his full support to the European sports model, a successful model of openness and inclusivity, promotion and relegation

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called for respect and dialogue as he expressed FIFA’s strong disapproval of the proposed European breakaway league project, and has requested that the concerned parties consider their position in line with respecting the institutions that exist to protect the interest of national, European and global football.

“FIFA is an organisation which is built on values, the true values of sport,” said the FIFA President in his address to the 45th Ordinary UEFA Congress in Montreux, Switzerland. “It is an organisation that is built on our statutes, the statutes that define the institutional framework, with the pyramid, with FIFA, the confederations, the associations, the leagues, the clubs, the players. And at FIFA, we can only strongly disapprove the creation of a super league which is a closed shop, which is a breakaway from the current institutions, from the leagues, from the associations, from UEFA and from FIFA, which is outside of the system. There is no doubt whatsoever of FIFA’s disapproval for this.”

The FIFA President emphasised his full support to the European sports model, a successful model of openness and inclusivity, promotion and relegation, and a model that he promoted in his 16 years at UEFA: “FIFA is here, and I am here today as FIFA President, to bring full support to European football, to UEFA, and the 55 member associations of UEFA and of FIFA, to the leagues, clubs, players and to fans. To all the fans, all over Europe, and actually all over the world as well.”

“We can see that there is a lot to throw away for the short-term financial gain of some,” the FIFA President added. “People need to think very carefully, they need to reflect, and they need to assume responsibility. They need to think not only of their shareholders, but they need to think about all the people, of all the fans, of all those who have contributed to make European football what it is today. It goes back not only decades, it goes back more than one hundred years. People – with love, with passion, with commitment – have created all this. And we need to protect this. It is our task.”

“FIFA is a democratic organisation, an organisation that is open,” the FIFA President concluded. “Everyone can bring ideas and proposals, but always with respect for the institutions, leagues, associations, UEFA and FIFA. With respect for the history and with the respect for the passion of so many people around the world. I understand as well that in these particular days, emotions are very high, but we need to always keep the line. Football is hope, and it is our responsibility to make hope reality. So we hope that everything will go back to normal, and that everything will be settled, but always with acting responsibly, with respect, with solidarity, and always in the interest of national, European and global football.”

Through the OnAim Architecture, operators can quickly launch campaigns designed to boost retention, support upsell strategies, or achieve specific KPIs. Engagement can be scaled using a broad range of gamification tools or accelerated with pre-built promotion templates based on proven feature combinations. The toolkit is completed by a drag-and-drop Landing Page Builder, allowing teams to create unlimited, fully branded promotion pages in minutes.

Excellence Isn’t Measured by Promises: PlayamoPartners, Tag Heuer, and the Logic of Formula 1

Published

on

In iGaming, premium isn’t a promotional stunt. It’s a standard—measured in consistent payouts, high-quality traffic, and performance that earns recognition. PlayamoPartners × TAG Heuer × Formula 1.

The iGaming space has long mastered the art of noise. Hype comes easy. But increasingly, growth is being substituted with spectacle—trips, stunts, one-off “wow” events.

Helicopters, yachts, exotic getaways—they look impressive, sure. But they rarely offer what partners truly need: predictability, respect for business models, steady communication, and clear rules of engagement. The issue isn’t the price tag—it’s the absence of structure.

The question for the market is simple: is premium about the show—or about trust?

True premium doesn’t scream for attention. It selects, sustains, and rewards. Just like in Formula 1, success isn’t driven by emotion or chance—but by discipline, team coordination, and timing.

An Industry Like a Race: Speed Without System Equals Loss

iGaming often operates like a sprint—fast onboarding, fast boosts in numbers, fast pivot to the next offer. In that model, partners become disposable.

But speed only matters when paired with the right conditions: a skilled team, reliable tools, strict discipline, and transparent processes. Without them, speed breeds chaos—and every mistake comes at a cost. The faster you go, the more expensive it gets.

A premium partnership plays the long game. It’s stable, not flashy. Clear KPIs. Repeatable workflows. Predictable payouts. In this race, the winner isn’t the one who accelerates the fastest—it’s the one who handles every curve with control.

PlayamoPartners is built for this. The system favors quality traffic—PPC, SEO, media buys. Fraud and shortcuts aren’t tolerated—not as a rule, but as a principle. Partnership requires both sides to meet the same standard.

Traffic Channels at PlayamoPartners:

  • PPC

  • SEO

  • Facebook*

  • Social

  • ASO

  • UAC

  • SMS

  • Email

  • In-App & PWA

There’s one hard line: incentive traffic is strictly forbidden. Bidding on brand keywords in PPC/SEO? Fully prohibited. No shortcuts. No cheap wins. Quality over quantity.

The Payout Model: Stability as a Signal

Premium isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about reliability. At PlayamoPartners, payouts are consistent. Hold times max out at two weeks for FB, ASO, UAC, In-App, PWA. Most sources have zero delay. In a space full of promises, predictability is the real currency of trust.

Another mark of maturity: PlayamoPartners only works with in-house products. Full control from A to Z. No external handoffs. No diluted responsibility. Just a clear decision-making chain.

That’s why premium here doesn’t feel artificial. It feels like regulation. In Formula 1, regulation is the law of the industry.

Why TAG Heuer Fits

TAG Heuer isn’t a name-drop—it’s a symbol. Of precision. Of longevity. Of performance when timing matters most. A brand historically trusted to measure time where every fraction of a second matters. In that world, status doesn’t come from loud promises. It comes from control, consistency, and discipline.

In 2025, TAG Heuer returned to Formula 1 as its official timekeeper.

That’s not coincidence. It’s a statement. That time isn’t metaphor — it’s a tool for mastering results.

Back in 1969, TAG Heuer became the first luxury brand to place its logo on a Formula 1 car. In 1971, the first to sponsor a team. That wasn’t trend-following. That was trend-setting.

And in 2025, TAG Heuer became the first-ever title sponsor of the legendary Monaco Grand Prix — a race synonymous with elite competition, invitation-only access, and status earned, not staged.

Perhaps most telling: TAG Heuer’s partnership with McLaren lasted from 1985 to 2015.

Thirty years. That’s not hype — that’s resilience. And it’s exactly the logic premium programs should operate on.

How PlayamoPartners Rewards — Without Selling

In this market, rewards often come dressed as sales tactics. At PlayamoPartners, it’s different.

Premium Rewards is a private system. Not a storefront. Not a spectacle. The rewards aren’t bait—they’re a quiet, logical endpoint in a well-run system.

Those who get rewarded are the ones who play the long game. No shiny one-hit wonders. Just consistent, qualified results.

No raffles. No promises of “everyone wins.” Just clear criteria: quality, volume, and stability.

Partner rewards include:

  • TAG Heuer timepieces

  • MacBook Air

  • iPhone 17 Air

  • AirPods Max

Not giveaways. Not clickbait. You have to earn them. In an industry that often tries to buy loyalty with noise, this approach is intentionally quiet. And all the more convincing.

What’s Really on Offer

Not gadgets. Not even rewards. What PlayamoPartners offers is a system—one built on performance and reliability. One where partners are treated as value-creators, not variables. Where execution speaks louder than emotion. Where premium is simply the default mode of operation.

Confirmed by scale: 10,000+ active partners. A decade in the game.

Geography & Growth

PlayamoPartners operates globally but focuses on Tier-1 markets. Priority geos include:
Canada, Australia, DACH, Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Poland.

Restricted geos:
USA, UK, Israel, Netherlands, France (including territories), Baltics, Ukraine, Belarus, and selected African and Asian markets.

Why? Because selectivity is part of quality.

Models & Terms

Available iGaming models: CPA, RevShare, Hybrid. Deals are negotiated individually based on traffic quality, placement terms, and lead performance. Because in a mature system, numbers aren’t slogans—they’re the product.

The Portfolio

PlayamoPartners manages 17 in-house brands:

Playamo, Bizzo Casino, Dragon Slots, Avalon78, National Casino,
20Bet, Woo Casino, CasinoChan, Cookie Casino, Bob Casino,
Mason Slots, Spinia, Limewin, BetAmo, Spinando, Betchan, Granawin.

Again, the Formula 1 logic applies: it’s not about one star car—it’s about the strength of the whole team.

That team is held together by clear traffic policies, incentive bans, predictable payouts, and calm, respectful communication. The kind of environment where the story isn’t “how fun it was,” but “how clear it was.”

This isn’t another offer. This is real business.

Final Lap

Premium affiliate programs operate by a different logic. Rewards aren’t promotional props—they’re a mark of recognition. Built on strict discipline: vetted sources, transparent rules, proven systems, steady payouts, and deliberate decisions.

TAG Heuer stands as a symbol of precision, endurance, and results over time. In tandem with Formula 1 thinking, it shapes a clear thesis:

Premium isn’t about shine. Premium is about how well things work.

Barcelona IGB 2026.

Booth 81-M10

If you’re operating at that level—you’ll know it right away.
