It must identify reputational risks and recommend improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The audit will form the basis of a crisis communications strategy, including response scenarios, draft statements and prepared questions and answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tenders on \u2018draft audits and strategy documents\u2019 are due by 15 December 2026. The first stage is scheduled to take six months, with the option of a three-month extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside that work, the agency will monitor media coverage, flag emerging threats and help prepare communications materials. During a crisis, support must be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price will account for 60% of the tender assessment, with the project manager\u2019s audit experience making up the remaining 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appointment comes as Totalizator Sportowy seeks to refresh the image of a business with deep roots in Polish public life. Established in 1955 to finance sports facilities, it remains a major funder of sport and culture, and LOTTO is a household name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, bringing that heritage to a new audience has been a sensitive move. In the first half of this year, the company launched an agency tender for influencer marketing to boost LOTTO\u2019s social media presence and attract customers to its iLOTTO platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It withdrew the procurement in April following controversy over whether promotional material could reach children. The company denied that it intended to target minors and said the proposed campaign was exclusively for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, its online casino monopoly remains in place. Polish law reserves the sector for Totalizator Sportowy, with Total Casino the country\u2019s only legally authorised online casino. No change to that framework has been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Private gambling businesses continue to press for an open market. Betting brands including <strong>STS, Fortuna Entertainment Group <\/strong>and <strong>Banijay Group\u2019s Betclic<\/strong> would stand to benefit. Supporters argue that licensed competition could draw players away from offshore sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet political appetite for reform remains limited, leaving Total Casino\u2019s exclusivity intact as its parent company focuses on protecting its reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Totalizator Sportowy, Poland\u2019s state-owned gambling operator, is seeking a crisis communications agency to review its procedures and provide round-the-clock support when its reputation is threatened.
