Exness Cristiano Ronaldo sponsorship
Immediately after announcing Real Madrid media partnership, they also announced that Exness is sponsoring the Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo was previously also the Brand ambassador of Xtrade. Xtrade leveraged Cristiano Ronaldo name targeting China, however could not sustain their clients. The Chinese clients started protesting, CySEC suspended Xtrade license as well saying the company was not fair.

Exness Real Madrid Partnership deal - is it worth it?
The CEO of Exness, Peter Valov, made the following statement:
"Exness' unwavering spirit and passion to be the best in our field is our most defining characteristic, and we have an insatiable appetite for success. So I truly could not think of a more suitable partner to join forces with in a joint pursuit of constant breakthroughs.
Real Madrid stands for excellence, empowering leadership, and fair practice: the very foundations Exness was built upon. We look forward to breaking new records and establishing new standards together."
Is it worth it for Exness to spend $3 million every year for Real Madrid sponsorship? What about sponsoring Cristiano Ronaldo sponsorship (we don't know the cost yet)?
If a company is operating as a full STP broker, such a partnership would be too costly to sustain. However, Ronaldo and Real Madrid together have millions of fans globally. Just a Twitt from Ronaldo with Exness logo or appraisal of Exness will reach to thousands of people.
People will just want to register on Exness website to see what Exness does. Most people generally don't pay attention to the risk disclaimer in any case. Meanwhile, Exness does not have a minimum deposit requirement for their cent and mini account types. Additionally, Exness offers "unlimited" leverage on these accounts. Thus, people will just deposit $50 or $100 to test the industry and not knowing what they do. They will lose their entire account for the spread only thanks to "unlimited leverage". To avoid this, Exness will have to have a strong education base.
