  • Football players playing at casinos are people you would never make a wild guess on
  • They have big stories to tell about it all
  • They win and lose big at times

Football players playing at casinos—who would have guessed? Well, the Roulette77 network has quite a few examples of football stars exploring online and land-based casinos. Not only that but there are a few saucy stories about some players taking it a little too far.

The stories we have covered span the full range of experiences, from roulette (about which you can find more at Roulette77 France) to slots, poker,  blackjack, and more. Footballers do enjoy playing at casinos, and this is a fact. Not surprisingly, it’s the biggest celebrities that have been known to frequent such venues (in person and online).

Is Cristiano Ronaldo at a casino? And you didn’t hear about it? Yes, the Portuguese football ace likes the spotlight, but he doesn’t go out of his way to call attention to himself when playing. Yet, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo so who wouldn’t notice the man being in their casino, right? And so, Ronaldo has so many pictures from casinos that it’s uncanny. He is usually having fun, looking serious, and sometimes even upset. It’s the whole emotional rollercoaster for him, but the footballer does like to come back and play at casinos. There are no stories about Ronaldo losing a hefty penny or throwing up a scandal at a casino, so this is good on him, as he can get quite impatient when he plays football. Yet, casinos are just fun for Ronaldo, and he carries himself well there, probably putting a smile on people’s faces as he struggles to get that roulette bet to work for him.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been known never to shy away from gambling. He is supposedly tied to a betting company, but this aside, the football legend is also frequenting casinos for fun. He is an interesting personality, and he seldom thinks about what people would think about him. His stay at casinos is mostly uproarious but never excessive in terms of how much money he spends, or at least there have been no stories about Zlatan breaking the bank and arguing with the casinos. This is only to his credit, as his antics in the football pitch have been confined there. Now, whether Zlatan is a passionate casino goer is hard to say. His instances of being in casino are limited, but he is definitely known to have hit quite a few tables in his time.

Wayne Rooney has been known to be quite passionate about gambling and he mostly stuck to English casinos where he has been known to play as a high roller. Although his relationship with gambling has been a bit of a to and fro, he has mostly tried to stay in the good habit of playing moderately, notwithstanding one fateful night that saw him lose around half a million through ill-considered wagers. Regardless of this incident, Rooney has bounced back and his casino sessions these days are moderate, calm, and fun, but they are also very rare as Rooney has preferred to find other recreational activities. In any event, do not be too surprised if you see Rooney sitting next to you at a table of roulette or blackjack in a London casino!

Neymar Jr has been quite frequent at online casinos and poker sites. Although he loves casinos, his most prominent streams usually focus on poker games where he isn’t particularly good. However, Neymar Jr has been having a lot of fun playing online and trying anything – from high stakes poker to online slots. He is also a good example of taking things in moderation, although he infamously lost $1 million in a game of poker in no time at all. He seems to have taken it easier ever since and now tries to focus on the recreational aspect of gambling more so than trying to win too badly. Neymar Jr is one of the football stars you will hear about gambling at casinos.
