Is Hebe Tien the Hebe88 Ambassador? What the Evidence Shows

No. Nothing on Hebe88.co or in its ads shows that Taiwanese singer Hebe Tien agreed to promote it. The site and its ads reuse her photos and footage from other campaigns, including an OPPO F9 poster and a Pandora microfilm.

Is Hebe Tien the Hebe88 ambassador?

Readers reported that Hebe Tien’s portraits and even her name are used to promote the online gambling platform Hebe88.co. The Taiwanese singer’s image and name are used as the spokesperson and brand name of the online casino. Nothing on the site or in its ads gives any sign that she is linked to it. Readers also report that her name and portraits appear on the gambling site itself.

The evidence: how Hebe88 used Hebe Tien’s image

Evidence 1: Banner on Hebe88.co

How to check an ambassador claim before you sign up

Players can be lured by a famous ambassador’s image, identity and even name, so check the ambassador first: search for the original photo or video, and look for an announcement on the celebrity’s own official channels.

If something does not look right, double-check it or seek professional verification. Report any use of an artist’s identity without authorization to the authorities or to Ugrado.
