eyetime and MotoGP Cashback...


So during the F1 Austrian Grand Prix, I was wondering what the weekends title sponsor ‘eyetime’ was. I then found a thread on the F1 subreddit asking exactly that.https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/8v8rpr/what_is_eyetime_the_title_sponsor_of_the_austrian/A very strange ‘social networking’ app with little to no genuine information. Their CEO is also a former employee of Lyoness, a ‘cashback’ company well known for suspected money laundering behaviour. Their promotion of the app features a large amount buzz words with again, no genuine information on the actual uses of the app. The app isn’t actually available yet either, with a ‘coming soon’ like message when you download the app. Very odd for such a start up company to be putting such a large amount of money into sponsoring the Austrian Formula 1 and MotoGP Grand Prix.Now onto MotoGP Cashback. During practice I noticed a bridge over the circuit advertising MotoGP Cashback. I saw it and thought surely it isn’t what I think it is. A quick google gave the first result of MotoGP Cashback’s website, with the bio being ‘Collect Cashback and Shopping Points when shopping with the MotoGP™ Cashback Program by Lyoness. Get money back with every purchase!’. A partnership between MotoGP and our suspicious friend from earlier, Lyoness.This is a weird territory, and disappointing of MotoGP to be getting together with such a sketchy business.
