I do not know how this rule works to sponsor other players, but a paper should be signed before doing so, to be much safer. Unfortunately there are more players who have had problems with money recovery or did not want to pay the debts. A list of shame is needed to discourage these things.

From my point of view this happens in all countries to support another player and then divide the profits that are generated from it.
But there is always some problem because the money noe friend of anybody, thank goodness and I repay your debt unfortunately in the worst way when publishing your debt and not wanting to pay it at the established time

I do not understand why some players choose to borrow from other players. If you lost the money you go home or borrow from casinos with proof that you have taken the money. When you pay the casino money with a small interest rate or not, there will have to be a method, that the player has a guarantee, that he has paid the debt back.
