ARTE l The bookies take the pot

Rapidly growing, sports betting platforms are now among the most significant sponsors in the sports world. However, they prove to be dangerously toxic for many players who have become addicted.

This investigative documentary exposes the inner workings and rigging of an industry that generates billions and has powerfully infiltrated our daily lives.

“The bookies take the pot” was screened on the European broadcaster Arte in March 2024 and is now available on Arte’s online platform.
