I saw this news today and went to find out if it was true or not, after all it is a bit strange that he would bet and lose 1 million that easy.
I know Neymar likes to play poker, and he probably plays with high values, but in this case it wasn't making much sense.

I found a source, but it is in Portuguese, that says that everything was just a marketing move, and the value probably wasn't Neymar's, so there was no investment on his part and no loss of money.

The funny thing in the end is that the marketing works, after all there are a lot of people commenting on this news today, and even here we are talking about hehehe.

This is also want I suspected in the beginning, maybe he is being sponsored by the casino that's why he is not bothered losing that kind of big money. Although we know that his salary is huge, still $1 million is $1 million.

Good marketing by the casino, whoever it is, we have seen a lot of sports athletes and celebrities being endorsed by casino now to bolstered their earning. And just a year ago, we are just talking about Twitch banning gambling for good. But look at where it is right now, there are still steamers, big one still doing their thing on Twitch.

And with his reactions, it made me believed that this is a sponsored stream.

According to the source, it may be Poker.
He loves Poker. But in the article, we can't see a detailed explanation about the game which make him lose $1M.

It could be poker or other games, because you can't simply lost that big amount in money in poker in short amount of time unless he goes all in with a bad card and his bluff was called by someone.
