Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has lost one of his financial backers after he was banned for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.
Online gambling firm 888poker said it had "decided to terminate its relationship" with "immediate effect".
The 27-year-old Liverpool player was handed a four-month ban by governing body Fifa after being found guilty of biting Chiellini in a World Cup match.
Suarez cannot play for either club or country until the end of October.
He misses the rest of the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
Uruguay are due to play Colombia in the last 16 on Saturday after qualifying from Group D behind Costa Rica.
Suarez learned of his ban on Thursday after Fifa decided to open disciplinary proceedings against the player.
He was judged to have bitten Chiellini on the left shoulder towards the end of Tuesday's group game, which Uruguay won 1-0 to qualify for the next stage.
Suarez denied the allegations, claiming Chiellini had bumped into him, but Fifa handed him the longest ban in World Cup history.
As well as a four-month ban from any football-related activity, Suarez was also given a nine-match international suspension.
Uruguay football officials say they plan to appeal against the suspension.
The decision to ban Suarez for four months has split opinion.
While the likes of former England captain Alan Shearer and ex-USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel have argued the ban is fair, reaction in Uruguay has largely been of anger.
Huge crowds gathered at Montevideo airport on Thursday as expectations grew that Suarez would be flying there.

Uruguay's Sports Minister Liliam Kechichian said the punishment was a "disproportionate sanction" that "hurts us", while Uruguay Football Association president Wilmar Valdez claimed the ban was "excessive".
He added: "It feels like Uruguay has been thrown out of the World Cup."
Suarez's lawyer, Alejandro Balbi, said the player was "totally distraught", while his grandmother, Lila Piriz Da Rosa, said her grandson had been treated like "a dog".
She added: "Everyone knows what they've done to Luis. They wanted him out of the World Cup. Perfect, they did it."

hmm thats good to know cause i'm still the 2nd to comment.
#bleepme ifi'm wrong#

His supporters should shut up already. They should find a way to counsel him than blaming the media and the world for his woes. He's been banned on two different occasions and he has again repeated same cannibalistic act. Chiellini was not with ball, he was expecting a cross and then you moved behind him, leaned over and sunk your teeth in his flesh expecting a rash reaction from Chiellini that would make you dive to gain penalty in your team's favour. He can never stop looking for ways to cheat. It's in him.

well grandma your grandson is a dog now so we treated him like one

Its very unprofessional for a player so talented to have acted that way. He might even get more losses from others (sponsors, clubs etc) after this.

fifa fall my hand here.

I was expecting nothing less than 2yrs ban from football sef.

We should all join him & celebrate his biting hat-trick
