In the official note of the announcement, the “Timão” promised that the digital platform would be available in August. Six months later, the fan continues without using, consuming, and/or enjoying the tool.
The website stamped on the sleeves of the uniform (Galera.bet) remains offline, with some operating guidelines and a warning: "launch scheduled for September 2020". It is also possible to make a simple registration with the promise of winning R$ 20 for future online bets.
Not even the website available for the fans to choose the official name of the virtual betting page is up to date (https://vote.corinthians.com.br). Those who access it see the same guidelines as the other site and the same offer of R$ 20.
This second page also offers a poll to choose the name of the betting site that will be exclusive to the partnership with Corinthians, with the following options: Coringao.bet, Alvinegro.bet or Fiel.Bet. But there is still no chance to bet.
The report on the “Meu Timão” website talked to people linked to President Duilio Monteiro Alves, who guaranteed that payments are being made without any kind of delay by the sports betting firm Galera Group.
Despite the money entering the club's accounts and the partnership still standing, the situation causes some discomfort in the Marketing Department of Corinthians. And there are two reasons: the deadlines promised by the club have not been met and fans are not able to use, consume, and / or enjoy the tool.
On the 13th, when Corinthians receives Fluminense at the Neo Química Arena, the fans will again see the Galera.bet website in the sleeves of the players' jersey despite everything.
