PSG star Neymar who is currently recovering from ankle surgery spent some of his time on Tuesday playing online casino games where he lost one million euros to gambling according to RMC Sport
The session was broadcasted on his Twitch channel as part of a sponsorship deal with an online casino operator called Blaze, which is prohibited in France.
Neymar started the game with a bet of one million euros, which may have been provided by the operator. However, he did not have much luck in the game, especially with roulette, and ended up losing all of his winnings.

Despite his bad luck, Neymar appeared to be in good spirits and even pretended to cry while a popular tune, the dissonant flute version of the “Titanic” theme song, played in the background of his stream.
Neymar’s love for gambling is not a secret. He is known for being a skilled poker player, and Blaze is just one of his many personal sponsors. However, his hobby has also attracted criticism, especially after Paris Saint-Germain’s loss to Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Champions League in mid-February.
