Vitória’s shirt enters a new phase after the departure of Bet7K, which occupied the main sponsor spot. Provisional Measure No. 1,394/2026 banned the operation and advertising of fixed-odds betting in Brazil, directly affecting contracts with betting companies.
RTI Esporte Agency found that the agreement signed in January 2025 was estimated to be worth between R$16 million and R$20 million per year, with validity expected until December 2027. The partnership, however, became unstable in September 2026.
For Vitória, the financial impact is direct: depending on the range considered, the Bahia-based club will no longer have between R$16 million and R$20 million annually tied to the main commercial space on the red-and-black shirt.
The problem with establishing an exact figure is that Vitória does not disclose the individual amounts of all its commercial contracts. Besides Bet7K, the club maintains different partners and commercial properties.
One of the most recent deals is with Skokka, announced in January 2026 as a strategic partnership to help fund the team’s travel during the Brazilian Championship. The contract has a different characteristic from the former main sponsorship.
The partnership was structured to contribute to the costs of charter flights, and not as a direct replacement for the main shirt space. Therefore, the value of the agreement should not simply be added to Bet7K’s old contract to determine how much the kit is worth.
Volt Sport should also be left out of the sponsorship calculation. The company is Vitória’s sportswear supplier, providing the kit with no direct manufacturing cost and passing on up to 15% in royalties from the sale of official products.
The contract generates value for Vitória as sales increase, but it is not equivalent to a conventional sponsorship. Therefore, Volt’s royalties should not be treated as fixed advertising revenue from the kit.
Without updated figures from the other sponsors, there is not enough public basis to state that Vitória’s shirt is worth exactly a certain amount without Bet7K. What can be calculated is the size of the space that was left open.
Considering the range of R$16 million to R$20 million per season, that is the annual revenue Vitória needs to replace in order to fully recover the financial level provided by the former main sponsor.
In the most conservative scenario, for example, the Bahia club needs to find R$16 million per year. At the upper limit reported for the contract, the necessary replacement would reach R$20 million annually.
This difference also shows why it would not be correct to treat any new one-off deal as an automatic replacement for Bet7K. To occupy the main sponsor space again at the same level, Vitória would need a negotiation of similar scale.
The situation is even more complex because the betting market has lost the possibility of occupying the advertising properties of Brazilian clubs. Provisional Measure No. 1,394/2026 changed the segment that had been concentrating a significant share of the biggest shirt sponsorship deals.
For Vitória, the challenge is twofold: replacing Bet7K in the main sponsor spot and preserving its other commercial revenues. Skokka and Volt continue under different models, but neither of them is equivalent to the former main sponsorship contract.
The most objective reference is therefore between R$16 million and R$20 million per season. This range represents the known value of the former main sponsor space, and not a complete valuation of the red-and-black shirt.
The kit still carries other brands and properties whose individual value has not been disclosed. Vitória therefore did not lose the entire commercial value of the shirt with Bet7K’s departure. It lost the main source of revenue associated with the kit.
From now on, the commercial challenge is to turn the club’s visibility into a new contract capable of taking over the main sponsor space and recovering, fully or partially, revenue that could reach R$20 million per year.
The calculation is safer this way: R$16 million to R$20 million is the amount that needs to be made up, while Skokka and Volt remain in different categories and are not artificially converted into sponsorship amounts.
