Gambling also increases fan engagement and viewership. Many people are now taking interest on games, players and watching it live just because they have a bet on it.
I think that is not a positive impact of gambling on the sports industry. Because I believe those who bet on sports must already like and are used to watching matches even before gambling.
Indeed, it cannot be denied that the gambling industry supports the development of sports through sponsorship and partnerships, as well as related events. But I'm not so sure about the importance of match-fixing practices being carried out in the gambling business with the sports they sponsor.
