(AsiaGameHub) - The Rank Group has announced consistent revenue growth for the third financial quarter, with its performance bolstered by positive results from both its digital and physical venues. For the quarter ending 31 March 2026, the Group's like-for-like net gaming revenue (NGR) climbed 5% compared to the previous year, reaching £205.4m. Year-to-date NGR saw a 6% increase, totalling £625.2m. Each of the main divisions contributed to this positive performance in Q3. The company's largest segment, Grosvenor venues, saw a 5% rise in NGR to £95m, a result underpinned by a robust 10% growth in gaming machine revenue. The digital arm also experienced an uptick, with NGR growing 4% to £60.9m. Growth in the UK digital market was more subdued at 2%, but the international side showed stronger progress, posting a 14% revenue increase following enhancements to its platform and customer services. Mecca venues posted a 5% increase in NGR to £37.8m, while Enracha venues again delivered standout performance with 9% growth to £11.7m, propelled by a significant 27% surge in gaming machine revenue. The company stated that the effective conversion of revenue into profit during the quarter has led to an upgraded full-year forecast. It now anticipates like-for-like underlying operating profit will be no less than £68m, an improvement on the previous guidance of £65m. This revised outlook accounts for continued cost management initiatives, especially in the digital division. These actions are designed to counter the financial impact of the UK's Remote Gaming Duty increase to 40%, which is now in effect. The cost-saving measures involve cuts to marketing expenditure, supplier expenses, and staff numbers, while the company continues to invest in performance-based marketing and customer rewards. Looking ahead for Rank Group The group acknowledged that external issues, such as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, may influence international travel and subsequently affect venue performance. Despite this, Rank Group anticipates further revenue growth in the fourth quarter. Moving forward, the company is confident it can sustain its growth path, aided by continuous operational enhancements and beneficial regulatory shifts. Specifically, the removal of Bingo Duty starting in April 2026 is projected to boost profitability for its Mecca business. “We were pleased to observe ongoing revenue growth in every part of the business and a strong conversion to profit in Q3, even within a challenging economic environment,” commented Richard Harris, Interim Chief Executive of Rank Group. “These figures highlight the business's resilience, the quality of our customer offering, and the effectiveness of our growth strategies. “By taking the necessary steps to largely offset the effect of the higher RGD in our UK digital operations, and with definitive plans to achieve sustainable revenue growth, the group is in a strong position to meet its medium-term goal of producing at least £100m in operating profit.” Supported by rising revenue across all units and implemented cost controls, the group is moving into the year's final quarter with encouraging momentum. This positive sentiment has been reflected by investors, with Rank Group's share price climbing 12% since the results were published and breaking past the £1 threshold for the first time this year. The current priorities are to maintain this growth while managing regulatory and economic challenges, and to appoint a permanent Chief Executive after John O’Reilly's retirement in January.

(AsiaGameHub) - LeoVegas Group has reinforced its standing in the Swedish market after securing a sports betting licence for its owned brand, GoGoCasino. The new offering, approved by the Swedish gambling regulator Spelinspektionen, will be driven by Tiger, LeoVegas's proprietary sportsbook platform, marking its first launch in Sweden. LeoVegas obtained Tiger from German operator Tipico in 2024 in a transaction arranged by its parent company, MGM Resorts International. The deal occurred as Tipico discontinued its US operations, prompting the DACH market leader to divest its product and technology platform to LeoVegas. Before receiving the Swedish licence, Tiger had already been successfully deployed in other major European markets like Denmark and the Netherlands, with LeoVegas making substantial investments in the sportsbook under MGM's ownership. Another significant event for Tiger occurred earlier this year when it entered the Brazilian market with BetMGM, MGM Resorts' B2C sportsbook in South America, which runs on the LeoVegas platform. Brazil has become one of the globe's largest betting markets since its regulated regime began in January 2025. The industry is projected to be valued in the billions of dollars by 2030, driven by the country's passion for sports and sizable population. However, the situation in the South American nation is now tense, as governing party representatives have surprisingly reversed their position and are demanding a complete repeal of the 2025 law that established legal online betting—a move that will undoubtedly concern international operators like LeoVegas. Returning to Europe, the integration of Tiger into GoGoCasino is expected to substantially boost LeoVegas's market share in Sweden by appealing to both casino enthusiasts and sports bettors. The newly launched sportsbook platform will provide users with features including a bet builder, daily enhanced odds, partial cash-out, and in-play betting. This expansion follows a period of success for GoGoCasino in the Nordic region, where it first debuted in 2019 with its online and live casino services. Commenting on the news, Adrian Vella, Chief Product and Technology Officer at LeoVegas Group, stated: "Introducing our proprietary sportsbook, Tiger, in our home market of Sweden is a tremendous achievement for the entire Group, and my excitement is immense. "Our global teams have dedicated immense effort to our international expansion, and adding this to GoGoCasino will create new levels of engagement for players who love both casino games and sports betting."

(AsiaGameHub) - The much-discussed sponsor exodus from horse racing may not actually be coming to pass, if the most recent sponsorship deals from Betway and CopyBet are any indicator, at the very least. In separate announcements made yesterday, Betway and CopyBet have been unveiled as official partners of The Jockey Club and Worcester Racecourse respectively for the 2026 racing calendar. For Betway, the Super Group-owned online sportsbook will back 16 races across Newmarket, Haydock Park and Market Rasen, a package that includes its position as the official fixed odds betting partner of the Debenhams July Festival hosted at Newmarket. Lewis Knowles, PR Manager at Betway, said: “Betway sponsors some of the largest sporting events and teams across the globe, but it is wonderful to see British racing make a well-received return to our sponsorship roster. “We ranked among the biggest backers of racing over the last decade, with thousands of races carrying our name from 2015 right through to the Champion Chase at Cheltenham in 2024. This agreement is an incredible opportunity to align our brand with this fantastic sport once again. “We have enjoyed great success working alongside The Jockey Club in the past, and every member of the Betway team is thrilled to bring that partnership back for 2026.” In addition to the July Festival, Betway will sponsor Newmarket’s Craven Meeting taking place 15-17 April, the Grey Horse Raceday held on 15 August, and Cambridgeshire Friday scheduled for 25 September. The brand will also back Haydock’s Evening and Lester Piggot Day running 29-30 May, the Evening and Old Newton Cup across 3-4 July, Rose of Lancaster Day on 8 August, the Tommy Whittle Day on 19 December and Last Fling Day on 30 December. It will sponsor a single day of racing at Market Rasen, the Summer Plate Day held on 18 July. Is the rift between betting firms and horse racing starting to mend? The wide range of meetings Betway is sponsoring points to a shift in stance among operators, at least some of them, as the dust settles on the tax debates and disputes of summer 2025. There had been widespread expectations that racing sponsorships would be axed this year, following the gambling tax increases announced by Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer, last November. Remote Gaming Duty (RGD) rose from 21% to 40% on 1 April. Ahead of this change, a number of operators including bet365, BetMGM and Entain’s Coral chose to scale back parts of their sponsorship activity, leading to predictions of difficult times ahead for racing. The new deals from Betway and CopyBet suggest this may not be the full picture. Dan Glavin, Betting Partnerships Manager at The Jockey Club, said: “It is fantastic news that Betway is renewing its association with The Jockey Club through this exciting new partnership. “The Betway Craven Meeting at Newmarket is the point where the new Flat turf season really hits its stride, making it the perfect time to launch this collaboration. “Along with taking on the role of fixed odds betting partner for the prestigious Debenhams July Festival at Newmarket, Betway will also have its name linked to a significant number of high-class racedays running all the way through to the end of the year. “Most of these racedays will be broadcast live on ITV, delivering considerable brand exposure.” Beyond financial concerns, betting firms and racing also had a minor falling out last year to some extent. In the lead-up to November’s Autumn Budget, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and other sport stakeholders launched the #AxeTheRacingTax campaign. This campaign included a day of strike action held on 10 September. The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), which was also lobbying against tax hikes at the time, criticised this move, and it appeared a rift was opening up between the racing and betting sectors. It is not all bad blood across the board, however, as the latest moves from Betway and CopyBet seem to indicate. For CopyBet, the firm has signed on as the official betting partner of Worcester Racecourse for the 2026 National Hunt summer season. The company will sponsor 57 races across 19 summer jumps meetings running from 6 May to 21 October. This package includes naming rights to the Fixed Brush Series Final, with CopyBet branding set to be displayed across the entire racecourse site. Michael Thomas, Worcester Racecourse General Manager, said: “Ahead of another exciting summer of National Hunt action, we are thrilled to welcome CopyBet as our Official Betting Partner, supporting us to deliver another packed schedule of high-quality race days on the banks of the River Severn.” This agreement adds to CopyBet’s existing racing sponsorship portfolio, which already includes partnerships with Carlisle, Exeter, Haydock, Huntington and Kempton, plus a brand ambassador deal with Irish jockey Jonathan Burke. “We’re delighted to team up with Worcester Racecourse as its official betting partner,” said Mark Smith, Managing Director of CopyBet UK. “British horse racing is set to be a core part of another incredible summer of sport in the UK, and we are proud to continue supporting one of the nation’s most popular sports.” The racing sector came out of last year’s budget announcement in a relatively strong position, having been exempted from the RGD increase and next year’s planned rise in General Betting Duty (GBD) from 15% to 25%. A knock-on impact on racing is still anticipated, however, as a result of the previously mentioned marketing cutbacks. While Betway and CopyBet have not joined the exodus of sponsors, other operators still plan to limit their presence in racing, meaning the sport requires all the financial support it can secure.

(AsiaGameHub) - Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif BetMGM, Adam Greenblatt, telah menegaskan keyakinannya bahawa pemain yang dibawa oleh pengendali tidak berlesen akan kembali secara organik kepada pengendali berlesen hasil daripada pengalaman yang ditawarkan adalah lebih baik. Secara khusus menonjolkan kelaziman dan peningkatan elemen persaingan dalam pasaran ramalan (prediction markets), Greenblatt mengesahkan kepercayaannya bahawa firma itu diperkukuh hasil daripada mengekalkan margin yang jauh lebih besar berbanding mana-mana peserta tunggal dalam ruang pasaran ramalan. Mengemas kini pelabur, beliau memberi amaran bahawa ‘jika anda seorang pemain profesional, pembuat pasaran, atau pelajar sekolah menengah, malangnya, tidak ada tempat yang lebih baik untuk anda daripada pasaran ramalan – tetapi ini bukan pemain sasaran kami’. Beliau membayangkan bahawa kemampanan masa depan untuk pasaran ramalan adalah suram, memandangkan pangkalan pemain yang mereka sasarkan. Greenblatt mengakui bahawa landskap iGaming sedang berada di tengah-tengah evolusi semula jadi dan terus meningkat; bagaimanapun, beliau menekankan bahawa momentumnya boleh didorong oleh pendekatan omnisaluran (omnichannel). CEO BetMGM menyatakan: “Kami memanfaatkan bakat dan kepakaran MGM Resorts, kehebatan hiburan dalam beberapa dimensi. Kami telah melihat elemen lain dalam strategi kami yang telah sangat berjaya; pemain kami telah menikmati interaksi dengan alat penglibatan kami. Kami melihat, secara purata, penglibatan selama beberapa hari seminggu daripada keseluruhan pangkalan pemain kami.” Pengekalan berterusan telah ditingkatkan apabila syarikat terus bergantung pada ganjaran dan pengalaman langsung, bertujuan untuk membezakan tawarannya daripada pasaran ramalan. Tambahan pula, kumpulan itu juga telah mendapat manfaat daripada pelbagai keluaran yang kuat, termasuk tajuk Wizard of Oz dan Wheel of Fortune yang membolehkannya menonjol dalam pasaran yang kompetitif. Keyakinan 2027 BetMGM telah menyatakan keyakinan untuk mencapai sasaran EBITDA $500 juta pada tahun 2027, walaupun melaporkan bahawa EBITDA yang dilaraskan untuk tahun semasa mungkin jatuh pada tahap rendah dalam julat panduannya. Pengendali tersebut melaporkan peningkatan hasil tahun ke tahun dalam kedua-dua iGaming dan pertaruhan sukan dalam talian dalam keputusan kewangan suku pertama bagi FY26, tetapi pengisytiharan bahawa ia berkemungkinan akan mencecah lebih dekat ke tahap rendah dalam julat panduan EBITDA $300 juta-$350 juta telah menarik perhatian. Dalam panggilan pendapatan S1 BetMGM, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Adam Greenblatt ditanya oleh pelabur tentang apa yang memberi keyakinan kepada pengendali bahawa ia masih mampu mencapai sasaran EBITDA $500 juta menjelang 2027 walaupun menerima angka panduan tahap rendah yang berpotensi pada tahun ini. Greenblatt berkata: “Titik permulaannya ialah kami mempunyai perniagaan yang sangat sihat. Kami mempunyai perniagaan di mana pada bahagian permainan, kami sedang menuju ke arah hasil $2 bilion, dan kami mempunyai begitu banyak perkara menarik untuk pemain kami dalam perancangan kami. “As I said in my opening remarks, the best game on the retail floor, Gold Blitz and the franchise of Gold Blitz, is now BetMGM’s exclusively for the initial period when it’s of most interest to real gamers. “Apa yang kami lihat ialah nilai pemain meningkat, NGR bagi setiap pemain meningkat. Kami mendapat lebih banyak daripada Nevada, kami mendapat lebih banyak daripada omnisaluran dan kami mempunyai banyak perkara menarik yang akan datang. Tentu, ia adalah acara sekali sekala; kami mempunyai Piala Dunia tahun ini, tetapi ia adalah rangsangan untuk pertumbuhan. Paling menarik untuk tahun ini, kami mempunyai pelancaran Alberta, kini disahkan pada 13 Julai. “Di samping itu, jenama kasino kami yang sedang 'tidur', Borgata, amat relevan di Timur Laut. Kami sedang menyegarkan jenama itu dan meletakkannya semula untuk khalayak yang berbeza, demografi yang berbeza, untuk berusaha memperluaskan kaitan kami kepada lebih ramai pemain berbanding jenama teras BetMGM dan kami melihat tiada penghujung bagi pemain premium. “Gabungkan semua itu, bersama dengan potensi untuk satu lagi negeri iGaming baharu tahun depan di Virginia, digabungkan dengan potensi untuk persekitaran sukan, pemasaran sukan atau persekitaran CPA yang lebih rasional, anda boleh melihat laluan dengan mudah. Adakah terdapat risiko, tentu ada, tetapi adakah kami tetap yakin bahawa itu boleh dicapai? Ya, dan itulah keseimbangannya.” Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

(AsiaGameHub) - Allwyn UK states that upcoming changes to the National Lottery will increase the number of UK millionaires from around 140 per year to approximately 345 annually, effectively more than doubling the figure. This announcement sets the stage for a summer of updates to the National Lottery, with Allwyn confirming both the launch of a redesigned Lotto format and the introduction of a UK-exclusive version of Powerball. Starting June 7, Lotto will adopt a new two-stage draw structure, giving players two chances to win with a single £2 ticket. The change will significantly boost overall winning odds for players — from one-in-9.3 to one-in-4.9 — while retaining the existing prize entry processes. Players can win in one or both rounds, with jackpots starting at £2m and rolling over up to five times before a must-be-won draw. Allwyn believes the enhanced structure will strengthen Lotto’s long-standing reputation as the UK’s “millionaire maker”, with two paths to £1m prizes remaining intact: matching six numbers for the jackpot, or five numbers plus the Bonus Ball for a fixed £1m payout. Complementing the Lotto revamp is the planned rollout of a UK-adapted Powerball game later this summer, marking the first time the global jackpot game will be available outside the US. Priced at £4 per line, UK players will join a shared jackpot pool that starts at around £12m and remains uncapped, with top prizes paid out over 30 years. The introduction of Powerball is expected to generate an additional £1bn for UK Good Causes over its first five years, as Allwyn aims to expand the National Lottery’s appeal through larger jackpots and a broader game portfolio. Supporting the rollout, Allwyn highlighted that the changes follow the successful 2024 transition of the National Lottery to a new operating system developed in partnership with Scientific Games. The upgraded platform has enabled enhanced retail and digital capabilities, forming the backbone for launching new game formats. As part of its retail transformation, Allwyn also began the large-scale deployment of over 30,000 new Wave lottery terminals in August 2025, replacing legacy Altura machines across the UK. Andria Vidler, CEO of Allwyn UK, said: “We are delivering on our promise to bring more games, more entertainment and more innovation to the National Lottery. With extensive upgrades to our digital and retail channels now complete, we have a fantastic summer lined up as we bring these exciting new games to our players. “Lotto has always been the best game to play if you want to become a millionaire. “Our new Lotto gives players two chances of winning £1m-plus for the same £2 they spend today, creating hundreds more millionaires every year. And with its transformative jackpots, we’re certain that our UK-specific version of Powerball will capture the public’s imagination.” The operator added that the dual launch reflects its wider strategy to modernise the Lottery’s offering, increase player engagement and ultimately grow returns to Good Causes, with a long-term ambition to double weekly contributions to £60m by 2034.

(AsiaGameHub) - SBC Summit Malta 2026 is rolling out AI-centric workshops aimed at providing gaming industry stakeholders with a concrete, practical grasp of how artificial intelligence is influencing operations throughout the sector. As AI transitions from theoretical potential to real-world use, the gaming industry is growing more focused not on if to adopt AI, but on how to deploy it effectively, ethically, and at scale. The AI workshops at SBC Summit Malta 2026 are crafted to respond to this shift, moving from abstract talks to hands-on practice. Spanning the event’s two-day conference schedule, the workshops are built around active engagement—attendees dive into real-world scenarios instead of just listening to high-level discussions. Every session aims to help participants experiment with ideas, polish their strategies, and gain insight into how AI is already being used in critical parts of gaming operations. Though AI’s roots go back to the 1950s, its prevalence has skyrocketed over the last ten years, touching both popular culture and every sphere of business. This trend peaked with the launch of ChatGPT, which gained 100 million users in only two months—making it the fastest-growing consumer software app in history. Speaking about the choice to expand AI-related content in the conference agenda, SBC’s Senior Conference Producer Natalie Lees said: “The conversation around AI has moved on. The industry is no longer debating whether to adopt it. That question has largely been answered. However, while adoption has accelerated, much of AI’s use across the sector remains relatively basic.” “At SBC Summit Malta 2026, we want to move beyond surface-level applications and help the industry understand how AI can be used more strategically, efficiently, and at scale, through formats that encourage active participation rather than passive listening.” “From AI tools to AI embedded in business workflows: How AI is transforming workflows, decision-making, data, and technology” delves into the most effective methods for adopting and rolling out AI across businesses. Guided by an AI specialist, the workshop features live demonstrations that teach attendees how to use AI to streamline workflows, boost customer engagement, and enable data-driven decision-making at scale. The workshop ‘AI in HR: Empowering Teams, Not Replacing Them’ will examine how HR leaders are successfully integrating AI into their organizations. Experts Rosi Bremec (Independent, Former COO, Game Lounge), JP Xuereb (HR Director, HIT Gaming), Reija Airas (EVP, People, Culture and Communications, Veikkaus), and Christopher Grech Bonett (Founder, R77 Elitetalent) will explore how companies can use AI to enhance team performance while building the trust, communication, and reskilling frameworks needed to help employees adapt to the AI era. With 88% of digital marketers now using AI in their daily tasks, the technology has become an indispensable part of modern marketing. To help stakeholders navigate this evolving landscape, the conference will offer three targeted AI-Marketing workshops. The Future of Casino Search is Vertical AI Manipulation: How Machines Are Rewriting the SERPs Scaling High Volume Content Operations with AI Automation Workshops will also focus on preparing for future regulations and how AI can help professionals stay competitive. “How Affiliate Managers Can Use AI to Stay Ahead of the Competition”will explore ways AI can boost speed and efficiency in outreach, performance analysis, and partner optimization, while “AI in Gaming: Shaping the Industry’s First AI Charter” will examine how stakeholders can contribute to building clear, responsible standards aligned with upcoming EU regulations. SBC Summit Malta 2026 will be held from 28–30 April at the InterContinental Malta, gathering 6,000 industry professionals. The conference agenda will place a strong emphasis on workshops: day one will focus on laying theoretical foundations, while day two is entirely dedicated to hands-on sessions, supported by two workshop rooms running across both days.

(AsiaGameHub) - Sebuah den judi haram ditemui dan ditutup selepas polis di Filipina menangkap seorang lelaki yang dituduh melontar bahan letupan ke dalam tempat itu, berikutan gangguan berkenaan perjudian 'drop ball'. 14 individu cedera dalam letupan itu menurut akhbar tempatan The Inquirer, dengan sembilan orang masih di hospital untuk rawatan lanjut. Insiden itu berlaku di sebuah kedai di bandar Baguio selepas tertuduh terlibat dalam pertembungan dengan pekerja kedai. Dia kemudiannya didakwa kembali dengan peranti letupan improvisasi, yang dilemparkan ke dalam kedai itu. Berikutan siasatan oleh polis, didapati bahawa tempat letupan itu adalah den judi haram yang menawarkan perjudian 'drop ball'. Mayor Baguio telah mengarahkan penutupan den judi itu selepas ditemui, dan menggesa pasukan polis bandar itu untuk kekal berjaga-jaga terhadap operasi serupa. Walaupun cara yang sangat luar biasa untuk operasi pasar gelap ditemui, kemas kini terkini ini menekankan perjuangan pihak berkuasa di Filipina untuk mengurangkan judi haram. Pada bulan Februari, Senator di negara itu mengutuk agensi penguatkuasaan nasional kerana gagal menyasarkan dengan berkesan lokasi di mana e-sabong – juga dikenali sebagai sabung ayam – masih berlaku. Berbicara kepada tokoh utama dari Philippine National Police (PNP) dan National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Senator Erwin Tulfo berkata: "Anda telah berjaya menutup beberapa tapak e-sabong, tetapi itu adalah operator kecil. Anda masih tidak boleh menutup yang terbesar di seluruh Filipina." Baru-baru ini, maklumat perisikan dari Kumpulan Anti-Kejahatan Siber PNP membawa kepada penangkapan empat warga Korea yang telah dituduh menawarkan 'permainan nombor' dan pertaruhan sukan melalui media sosial selama lebih dari lima tahun. Insiden ini juga berlaku semasa penelitian yang diperketatkan untuk sektor berlesen, dengan Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan kawalan pengawalseliaan yang lebih ketat. Bulan lepas, PAGCOR menandatangani memorandum persefahaman dengan Department of Justice, yang menyaksikan kakitangannya disertakan dalam senarai pengawal selia bagi orang yang dilarang memasuki kasino. Sementara itu, pengawal selia juga telah mengesahkan Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) untuk menguji dan mengesahkan platform iGaming yang membentuk pasaran perjudian Filipina. Alejandro Tengco, Pengerusi dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif PAGCOR, berkata: "PAGCOR kini memerlukan semua pembekal B2B iGaming yang beroperasi di Filipina untuk disahkan untuk memastikan mereka mematuhi keperluan yang ketat yang diperlukan untuk melindungi pemain iGaming."

(AsiaGameHub) - Entain anticipates a more muted performance from its North America-focused BetMGM joint venture, at a time when the London Stock Exchange-listed group’s share price is experiencing volatile trading. In a Q1 trading update, Entain—along with its JV partner MGM Resorts—projects BetMGM’s net FY2026 revenue to range between $2.9bn-$3.1bn (£2.1bn-£2.2bn). This would signal continued growth compared to the $2.8bn recorded last year. However, Entain noted it expects BetMGM’s adjusted EBITDA to land at the ‘lower end’ of the forecasted $300m-$350m range. This comes despite adjusted EBITDA climbing 11% to $25m (Q1 2025: $22m) in the first three months of the year. By segment, iGaming continued to outperform sportsbook revenue: the former hit $481m, while the latter reached $203m. These figures represent year-over-year growth of 9% (from $443m) and 4% (from $194m), respectively. BetMGM’s total net revenue stood at $696m, a 6% year-over-year increase from Q1 2025’s $657m. The company remains committed to its goal of hitting $500m in adjusted EBITDA by FY2027. Entain emphasized the significance of BetMGM’s iGaming product during the quarter, citing strong player engagement momentum. Meanwhile, the slower growth in sports betting revenue was attributed to player-friendly sports results and ‘increased promotional generosity’. “Although it has been a steady start to the year, BetMGM is delivering on our strategic plan, carrying forward the initiatives that drove our transformation in 2025,” said Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM. “We are generating sustainable, profitable growth and paying cash to our parent companies. Our iGaming business is growing at scale, and our Online Sports business continues to strengthen despite a challenging market in Q1. “As we look to the rest of the year, we will continue to focus on our areas of strength, particularly in iGaming, multi‑product states, omnichannel in Nevada, and servicing our premium mass sports players. “These give us confidence that we will deliver on our updated 2026 guidance as well as continue on the path to $500m of Adjusted EBITDA in 2027.” Entain’s shares get no relief following BetMGM update Entain’s shares plummeted to a 12-month low immediately after the announcement, dropping from 559.4p to 526.6p between 12:00-12:05pm GMT. The 526.6p price is notable as it matches the lowest level Entain’s shares have traded at since early April 2025. Shares have since partially recovered: at the time of writing (25 minutes later, at 12:30pm), the company’s share price was 544.4p. The London-headquartered, Isle of Man-domiciled operator is at risk of falling out of the LSE’s FTSE 100, currently ranking 98th on the index with a shrinking market cap of £3.48bn. It would need further declines to drop off London’s prestigious public company list in the FTSE Russell’s June quarterly review, but Harbour Energy—an oil and gas firm and FTSE 250 member—now has a higher market cap (£4.47bn) than the Stella David-led company. Other FTSE 250 firms with larger market caps than Entain include Ithaca Energy (£4.25bn), Investec (£4.03bn), Balfour Beatty (£3.96bn) and Aberdeen Group (£3.70bn). Another major concern for Entain’s investors and analysts is the UK tax situation. Remote Gaming Duty (RGD) rose from 21% to 40% earlier this month, and this heavier tax burden is expected to trigger a major restructuring of the British market—key for Entain as operator of the Ladbrokes Coral high-street and online brands. Investors will also closely watch the New York Stock Exchange when trading opens in a few hours to check MGM Resorts International’s share price activity.

(AsiaGameHub) - Salah seorang penyokong paling lantang bagi pemeriksaan kemampuan dalam perjudian UK telah menggesa kerajaan untuk menarik balik rancangannya berikutan kebimbangan meluas terhadap pelaksanaannya. Dr James Noyes, yang menulis menyokong pembaharuan tersebut pada tahun 2020 dan 2021 sebagai sebahagian daripada peranannya sebagai Felo Kanan di Social Market Foundation, berkata dalam surat terbuka kepada Setiausaha Kebudayaan Lisa Nandy bahawa peruntukan utama cadangan tersebut belum dipenuhi. Hari ini saya menghantar surat terbuka kepada Setiausaha Negara bagi Kebudayaan, Media dan Sukan, @lisanandy — menyeru Kerajaan untuk menangguhkan pelaksanaan penilaian risiko kewangan bagi petaruh sehingga penilaian sewajarnya terhadap skim rintis Gambling Commission diterbitkan… pic.twitter.com/75IkUA1rOT — James Noyes (@jranoyes) April 13, 2026 Khususnya, beliau berkata bahawa gesaan untuk pemeriksaan kemampuan, yang disertakan dalam cadangan yang dibuat oleh Gambling White Paper 2023, dibuat atas dasar bahawa ia akan menjadi 'tanpa geseran' (frictionless) dan ombudsman perjudian akan diwujudkan untuk memastikan 'layanan sewajarnya terhadap remedi dan hak pelanggan'. “Sokongan saya terhadap pemeriksaan kemampuan dibuat atas dasar bahawa akan ada pengawasan dan penilaian yang mencukupi terhadap keberkesanannya, dan pemeriksaan tersebut akan dijalankan dengan cara yang tidak mengganggu. Namun, saya membaca laporan yang semakin meningkat bahawa skim rintis tersebut melibatkan data yang tidak konsisten, hasil yang tidak jelas dan geseran yang tidak perlu,” tulis Noyes. Gambling Commission (UKGC) UK telah menjalankan program rintis 'penilaian risiko kewangan' sejak September 2024 untuk menilai daya maju sistem pemeriksaan dua peringkat bagi mengesan kemungkinan kemudaratan berkaitan perjudian. Walau bagaimanapun, tiada kemas kini daripada pengawal selia tersebut sejak Mei 2025. Suara Noyes menambah kepada gelombang pengkritik yang semakin meningkat terhadap pelaksanaan pemeriksaan kemampuan berikutan kebimbangan bahawa ia akan menjadi terlalu mengganggu dan memaksa pemain menjauhi pengendali yang dikawal selia. Beliau menyatakan bahawa terdapat dakwaan oleh beberapa pengendali bahawa agensi kredit yang berbeza telah memberikan keputusan yang berbeza untuk pelanggan yang sama, dan pada 'tahap data yang tidak mencukupi untuk memprofilkan risiko dengan sewajarnya'. Tinjauan YouGov yang ditauliahkan oleh Betting and Gaming Council juga mendapati bahawa 65% petaruh tidak bersedia untuk menyerahkan dokumen peribadi seperti penyata bank sebagai sebahagian daripada pemeriksaan kewangan. Walau bagaimanapun, keputusan ini mesti diambil perhatian dengan fakta bahawa tidak jelas berapa ramai daripada mereka yang ditinjau akan terjejas oleh ambang yang ditetapkan untuk pemeriksaan tersebut. Menurut kemas kini terakhir UKGC pada Mei 2025, peringkat kedua rintis tersebut mendapati bahawa 1 daripada 1,000 pelanggan akan mengalami geseran apabila menjalani pemeriksaan. Noyes kini telah menyeru kerajaan untuk menangguhkan sebarang rancangan untuk melaksanakan pemeriksaan tersebut sehingga penilaian penuh didedahkan kepada umum dan boleh diteliti oleh Ahli Parlimen. Beliau juga berhujah bahawa ambang untuk pemeriksaan harus ditetapkan untuk kerugian bersih dan bukannya jumlah pertaruhan, seperti yang berlaku pada masa ini, bagi mengurangkan bilangan pemain yang akan mencapai ambang tersebut. Semasa fasa pertama rintis, ambang ditetapkan pada £500 deposit bersih dalam tempoh 30 hari, yang kemudiannya diturunkan pada Februari 2025 kepada £150 – selaras dengan rancangan yang dibentangkan oleh kertas putih tersebut. Walaupun Noyes menegaskan bahawa beliau menulis atas kapasiti peribadi, kebimbangannya membawa pengaruh yang besar memandangkan peranan kanannya dalam SMF. Badan pemikir tersebut telah secara konsisten menyokong perubahan kepada landskap perjudian UK, termasuk menyokong kenaikan cukai yang ketara yang dilaksanakan ke atas permainan jarak jauh sebagai sebahagian daripada belanjawan tahun lepas, yang didedahkan oleh Rachel Reeves.

(AsiaGameHub) - ADI Predictstreet has secured another major partnership in the sports industry, aligning with the global sports streaming service DAZN. This follows the recent announcement that the Gibraltar-based prediction platform became FIFA's official prediction market partner for the 2026 World Cup. DAZN, headquartered in London, will incorporate ADI Predictstreet into its service to bolster its offering of live and on-demand sports, scores, news, betting, gaming, and FanZone features. This agreement represents another alliance with a sports giant for ADI Predictstreet, coming just weeks after its formation. The platform itself experienced a hesitant launch last week, with all current markets showing $0 in wagers. Notably, a "join the waitlist" prompt suggests the service may still be in a pre-launch or soft launch phase. The display of USD instead of Gibraltar's GIP currency is also curious, as only Gibraltar residents are legally permitted to place bets. These factors may all point to an ongoing testing period before a full launch. ADI Predictstreet markets The company's activities will be closely monitored in the coming months as it scales operations ahead of and during the 2026 World Cup. According to DAZN, this partnership merges sports with prediction. ADI Predictstreet will provide interactive features and unique experiences linked to major sporting events. The company stated that prediction will become an integral "native part of the fan experience," allowing fans to interact with markets and gain probabilistic insights. “DAZN is redefining sports entertainment by making it more immersive, interactive and connected for every fan,” said Shay Segev, Chief Executive Officer of DAZN Group. “Partnering with ADI Predictstreet allows us to embed real‑time prediction directly into the live viewing experience, turning insight and sentiment into a native part of how fans engage with the world’s biggest sporting moments. “With the FIFA World Cup 2026 as a catalyst and our platform as the engine, this partnership is a major step forward in how fans experience sport.” The World Cup will act as a "launchpad," with the partnership covering DAZN's entire portfolio. ADI Predictstreet is planned for subsequent rollout across other major leagues and events to increase engagement further. ADI Predictstreet’s rocky start These significant deals provide their own momentum for the prediction market. Although it just received its first license in Gibraltar last month, partnerships with FIFA and DAZN are likely to provide crucial exposure for its launch. However, its rapid rise has attracted scrutiny. Questions have been raised about FIFA's choice of partner, while investigative reports have highlighted past controversies involving CEO Dimitrios Psarrakis and Principal Council Member Ajay Hans Raj Bhatia, who was photographed with FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the partnership announcement. Journalists have examined Psarrakis' connection to the 'Qatargate' scandal, and Bhatia is reported to have been involved in insider trading, allegedly paying £130,000 to India’s Security & Exchange Board (SEBI) to settle charges. In a statement to the Norwegian outlet Josimar, the company addressed criticism of Psarrakis: “Dimitrios has never been charged with any wrongdoing. Today, he remains a globally recognised blockchain expert and a speaker at top-tier universities, international organisations, as well as professional summits on FinTech, RegTech, Blockchain and the Digital Disruption of Banking and Financial Services around the globe.” Given this series of events, ADI Predictstreet was destined for media attention. After a controversial beginning, the company will now be looking toward a more successful future. Commenting on the deal, Psarrakis said: “This partnership marks a defining moment in how audiences will experience sport. By combining DAZN’s unmatched reach with ADI Predictstreet’s real-time participation layer, we are transforming fans from spectators into active participants. “This is not just an evolution of engagement, it is the creation of a new category where technology, collective intelligence, and global events intersect at scale.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - District of Columbia mungkin menjadi pasaran AS seterusnya untuk mengawal platform iGaming, kerana seorang penggubal undang-undang di daerah itu telah memperkenalkan Internet Gaming and Consumer Protection Act. Rang Undang-undang Majlis 260656, yang diperkenalkan Khamis lalu oleh Ahli Majlis Wendell Felder, bertujuan untuk menghalalkan kasino dalam talian di daerah itu, sambil turut mengenakan larangan ke atas kasino sweepstakes dalam talian – pengendali perjudian tanpa lesen yang menggunakan sistem pembayaran dwi-mata wang. Langkah DC untuk melarang sweepstakes mencerminkan sentimen yang lebih luas di AS, berusaha untuk memastikan bahawa menegak perjudian tidak terlepas daripada kawal selia. Apabila ia melibatkan kasino sweepstakes dalam talian, rang undang-undang menyatakan bahawa pelanggar akan dikenakan denda sivil sehingga $100,000 untuk setiap pelanggaran, yang boleh meningkat kepada $500,000 jika larangan itu dilanggar berulang kali. Peguam Negara DC juga akan dapat mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap kasino sweepstakes dalam talian dengan tindakan penguatkuasaan 'ganti rugi dan pelucutan keuntungan'. Jika akta iGaming diluluskan, daerah itu akan menyertai Indiana dan Maine sebagai bidang kuasa AS yang telah melarang kasino sweepstakes dalam talian pada tahun 2026. Felder menyatakan dalam surat kepada Majlis DC: "Ketidakbertindak membawa akibat yang sebenar. Tanpa rangka kerja undang-undang, hasil terus mengalir kepada pengendali yang tidak dikawal selia, pengguna kekal terdedah kepada risiko dan daerah itu ketinggalan di belakang bidang kuasa jiran yang sedang bergerak ke hadapan." Walau bagaimanapun, tidak semua kejayaan untuk negeri-negeri yang ingin melarang sweepstakes, dengan Mississippi dan Maryland kedua-duanya gagal dalam usaha mereka. Halangan birokrasi yang dihadapi oleh kedua-dua negeri dalam meneruskan larangan sweepstakes menggariskan bahawa masih ada kerja yang perlu dilakukan untuk DC dalam usahanya untuk membasmi sektor sweepstakes. Evolusi iGaming Apabila negeri itu berusaha untuk mengawal iGaming, ia telah mengesahkan pasaran itu akan dikawal oleh Office of Lottery and Gaming (OLG), yang akan dikehendaki untuk mengenakan struktur hasil cukai rang undang-undang dan keperluan lesen, mengeluarkan lesen pengendali dan pembekal kepada mereka yang memenuhi kriteria. Pihak yang berminat perlu membayar yuran permohonan $2 juta untuk lesen pengendali tempoh lima tahun awal, dengan yuran pembaharuan berharga $500,000. Bilangan lesen yang boleh dikeluarkan belum dihadkan. Sesiapa sahaja yang berumur 21 tahun ke atas akan dibenarkan untuk bertaruh di platform iGaming, manakala kadar cukai 25% akan dikenakan ke atas pengendali ke atas hasil permainan mereka yang diselaraskan. Akta itu juga akan membenarkan sebarang hasil permainan negatif yang dilaporkan oleh pengendali dibawa ke bulan berikutnya. Felder berkata: "Rang undang-undang ini mencerminkan pendekatan praktikal yang dimaklumkan oleh data untuk mengukuhkan perlindungan pengguna, memodenkan rangka kerja permainan kami dan menangkap hasil yang kini mengalir di luar pengawasan daerah." Menurut data daripada Felder, kira-kira $700 juta telah dipertaruhkan oleh penduduk DC dengan pengendali tanpa lesen dan luar pesisir pada tahun 2024, apabila penggubal undang-undang itu menyeru daerah itu untuk mengikut negeri AS lain yang telah mengawal iGaming, termasuk Michigan, New Jersey dan Pennsylvania. Department of Behavioural Health dijangka menerima $500,000 pertama hasil cukai yang dijana daripada permainan kasino dalam talian, menyokong 'perkhidmatan pencegahan, pendidikan, rawatan, rujukan dan pemulihan yang berkaitan dengan ketagihan perjudian dan keperluan kesihatan tingkah laku yang berkaitan'. Selain itu, Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking, Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants dan Department of Employment Services masing-masing akan menerima 30% daripada hasil cukai, manakala Department of Health akan menerima 10%. Felder menambah: "Hasil cukai tahunan awal boleh mencecah puluhan juta dolar, dengan pertumbuhan dijangka apabila pasaran matang. Dana ini boleh menyokong keutamaan kritikal, termasuk perkhidmatan kesihatan tingkah laku, program permainan yang bertanggungjawab dan pelaburan komuniti yang lebih luas."

(AsiaGameHub) - COO Slotegrator, Olga Ivanchik, menjelaskan mengapa sudah tiba masanya syarikat itu untuk rebranding, dari evolusi suite produk syarikat hingga pembangunan pasukan dan proses yang membuatnya berfungsi. Perubahan dalaman apa yang membawa kepada rebranding sebagai langkah logik untuk mengekalkan momentum dan mendorong syarikat ke tahap seterusnya? Selepas 13 tahun pertumbuhan, Slotegrator berada di tahap yang sangat berbeza berbanding ketika syarikat itu pertama kali ditubuhkan. Portfolio produk kami terus berkembang, dan produk itu sendiri menjadi lebih kompleks, lebih halus, dan lebih sesuai dengan permintaan industri — selalunya dengan bantuan alat AI yang direka dengan baik. Di setiap langkah, kami membina berdasarkan masa lalu untuk mencipta sesuatu yang lebih baik untuk fasa seterusnya. Kami masih syarikat yang sama, tetapi versi yang lebih kuat, lebih cepat, lebih pintar, dan segar semula. Sudah tentu, anda tidak boleh bercakap tentang perubahan tanpa bercakap tentang orang yang membuatnya berlaku: pelanggan kami, yang menjadi inspirasi untuk segala yang kami lakukan, dari penyelesaian baharu yang inovatif hingga perkhidmatan 24/7; dan pekerja kami, yang mempunyai tahap kepakaran dan dedikasi yang saya benar-benar kagumi. Komitmen kepada perubahan telah menjadi etos untuk kami — dorongan berterusan untuk kekal di bahagian terdepan industri yang sentiasa berubah. Akhirnya, keupayaan dan cita-cita kami melebihi imej lama kami, jadi sudah tiba masanya untuk kemas kini. Kami tahu siapa yang kami telah menjadi; identiti visual baharu kami mencerminkan evolusi itu. Dengan Slotegrator berada di fasa peralihan dalam perjalanannya, apa yang anda jangkakan dari arah baharu ini? Apa yang memberi anda keyakinan bahawa ia akan memberikan nilai jangka panjang? Hari ini, pengendali memerlukan lebih daripada platform — mereka memerlukan rakan kongsi yang dipercayai untuk menguruskan kerumitan dan menyokong pertumbuhan jangka panjang. Rebranding kami menghantar isyarat jelas bahawa kami adalah rakan kongsi itu: Kami membantu pelanggan menguruskan semua nuansa undang-undang, strategik, dan teknikal dalam melancarkan dan menjalankan perniagaan iGaming yang berjaya. Jika itu kelihatan seperti janji besar, ia memang — tetapi ia adalah janji yang kami komited untuk memenuhi. Itulah sebabnya kami dengan penuh harapan akan mengekalkan dan memperbaiki kedudukan kami di pasaran terkawal, mengukuhkan hubungan rakan kongsi kami, dan terus melabur dalam pasukan dan infrastruktur kami, dengan hasil yang lebih baik dan lebih baik. Untuk keyakinan — tiada kekurangan dalam bidang itu. Transformasi yang menginspirasi rebranding bukanlah hanya permukaan; ia adalah mendalam, sistemik, dan disengajakan, memberikan kami asas sebenar untuk peningkatan prestasi yang mampan. Kami telah memodenkan platform dan proses kami dan mencipta pendekatan yang lebih bersepadu untuk bekerja dengan pelanggan, meningkatkan kedua-dua aspek teknikal dan strategik sepanjang jalan. Kami juga telah mengukuhkan pasukan tahap C kami, menyempurnakan strategi produk kami, dan menegaskan pendekatan kami terhadap AI, yang kami percayai sebagai alat yang boleh membuat atau memecahkan — apabila setiap orang mempunyai akses kepada alat AI, syarikat yang benar-benar tahu bagaimana untuk menggunakan mereka dengan berkesan akan menjadi yang berjaya dalam jangka panjang. Kami bercakap tentang beberapa perubahan penting. Itulah sebabnya kami dengan sengaja memilih rebranding yang berani seperti ini — ia adalah kedua-dua kenyataan visual dan janji kepada pasaran, dan kami telah menjadikan janji itu sebahagian daripada strategi kami. Bagaimana pelanggan anda bertindak balas terhadap rebranding dan peralihan strategik? Adakah terdapat sebarang keraguan? Jika ya, bagaimana anda menangani dan meyakinkan mereka semasa peralihan? Pendek kata, pelanggan suka ia. Kami berada dalam komunikasi berterusan dengan pelanggan dan rakan kongsi kami, dan bagi mereka perubahan itu adalah proses yang lancar dan semula jadi. Ramai di antara mereka mendapati ia tidak mengejutkan sama sekali, setelah menyaksikan perubahan yang berlaku secara real time. Tidak ada apa yang saya panggil keraguan, tetapi sudah tentu, sebarang peralihan boleh memperkenalkan ketidakpastian, jadi kami dengan teliti mempertimbangkan setiap maklumat dan maklum balas yang diberikan oleh pelanggan kami. Matlamat kami adalah untuk membuat transformasi itu sejelas, lancar, dan berisiko rendah mungkin. Apabila pelanggan merasakan mereka didengar, difahami, dan dihargai, mereka lebih bersedia untuk membina hubungan rakan kongsi jangka panjang untuk faedah kedua-dua pihak. Ruang iGaming berkembang dengan cepat. Seberapa pentingkah untuk terus menyesuaikan dan membina berdasarkan asas yang sudah kuat untuk kejayaan jangka panjang? Di Slotegrator, falsafah kami adalah “Evolve to lead” (Evolusi untuk memimpin). Kami tidak hanya memilih itu secara sembarangan; ia mencerminkan kebenaran asas industri iGaming yang pantas, di mana kemampuan menyesuaikan diri membuat perbezaan antara kejayaan dan kegagalan. Hari ini, pasaran lebih kompleks, peraturan lebih ketat, dan teknologi berkembang lebih cepat daripada sebelumnya. Pengendali mengharapkan rakan kongsi untuk mengekalkan perubahan sambil memberikan penyelesaian yang stabil dan boleh skala. Kekal di depan memerlukan pertumbuhan berterusan, kedua-dua dalaman dan luaran. Mempunyai asas yang kukuh membantu anda menjangkakan dan bertindak balas terhadap perubahan. Produk teras kami memberikan kami asas itu, dan falsafah kami — evolve to lead — menunjukkan arah yang betul untuk pertumbuhan. Akhirnya, kejayaan pelanggan kami adalah kejayaan kami sendiri, jadi kami terus memberikan mereka alat dan pandangan yang mereka perlukan untuk kejayaan jangka panjang. Dari perspektif kepimpinan, langkah apa yang anda ambil untuk memastikan bahawa cita-cita anda bukan sahaja tercapai tetapi melebihi? Kami menggunakan pendekatan kepimpinan transformasi — falsafah yang diperkenalkan oleh James Burns, seorang saintis Amerika dan pakar kepimpinan. Ini melibatkan memimpin dengan contoh dan memotivasikan pasukan kami melalui sokongan dan pemerkasaan. Bagi kami, setiap pandangan dan setiap idea dihargai, tidak kira dari mana ia datang. Ini mencipta persekitaran di mana bakat boleh berkembang. Hasilnya? Profesional yang termotivasi menghasilkan produk yang bercita-cita tinggi. Untuk mengekalkan gaya kepimpinan yang konsisten di seluruh syarikat, kami memperkenalkan program latihan untuk pengurus tahap sederhana dan pemimpin pasukan, mengukuhkan budaya maklum balas, dan memupuk pengakuan sebagai bahan api kepimpinan transformasi. Bagi kami, pengurusan dan arah adalah tidak dapat dipisahkan daripada kejayaan pelanggan dan perniagaan.

(AsiaGameHub) - A probe into how easily minors in the Netherlands can access gambling services has resulted in increased collaboration between licensed operators and the country’s regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA). The regulator was prompted to launch the investigation in 2025 after receiving multiple reports of minors successfully creating accounts with legal online gambling providers. A small set of findings— which the KSA noted do not represent the overall state of the Dutch market— revealed that minors were bypassing strict ID checks during registration by using another person’s bank account, such as that of a parent or a legally aged friend. When the KSA approached online gambling providers to discuss the issue, it received feedback that there was no immediate solution available to address it. However, the regulator has now announced that such a solution “is now available” and will be highlighted during an upcoming technical session with the licensed sector, though the date of this session has not yet been disclosed. Overall, no serious violations were recorded, with the KSA concluding that it is “virtually impossible” for minors to gamble with licensed operators, and that this activity primarily occurs on black market gambling platforms. Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the KSA, commented: “The KSA is deeply concerned about underage gambling. Fortunately, it turns out this rarely happens with license holders, but we do have clear signs that it still occurs.” “That activity takes place on the illegal market. Illegal providers often have no or low age verification standards and target this young demographic with advertising— for example, via TikTok. “This is extremely harmful, so the KSA is committed to combating illegal supply. We are also placing a stronger focus on educating minors to make them aware of the risks of gambling.” Legal action against offshore operators has been ramping up recently in the Netherlands. Novatech and Fortaprime SRL were the latest to face penalties from the KSA, with fines of €24.9m and €1.8m respectively. It appears the licensed market has had enough of Novatech in particular, as Nederlandse Loterij— the largest legal gambling operator in the domestic market— has initiated its own legal action against the offshore competitor, at a time when channelisation rates are constantly threatened by the growing prominence of illegal gambling.

(AsiaGameHub) - A national media organization in Curaçao is now casting doubt on the nation's gambling laws after the Nederlandse Loterij initiated legal action against Qbet, which is owned by Novatech. This development follows the Nederlandse Loterij describing the Curaçao-based and licensed operator as "the largest illegal gambling site" in the Netherlands. It also comes after a series of fines have been issued in the Netherlands and throughout Europe to companies headquartered in Curaçao. Numerous firms holding Curaçao licenses, such as Stake, Santeda International, and the previously mentioned Novatech, have repeatedly appeared in regulatory statements. The last two companies also manage a vast network of subsidiaries that have faced fines or investigation for either having weak security protocols or for operating in jurisdictions where they are not authorized. This situation has started to worry the country's media, which is beginning to voice apprehensions regarding the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA). An anonymous opinion piece in the Curaçao Chronicle stated: “For years, Curaçao has been known as one of the world’s most accessible licensing hubs for online gambling. That position has brought economic benefits, from licensing fees to international business activity. “But it has also created a system where the line between legitimate operations and questionable practices is often blurred. “The current case in The Hague reflects a shift in how regulators are approaching the problem. Authorities are no longer focusing solely on the visible front end – the gambling websites themselves – but are increasingly targeting the infrastructure behind them. “Trust offices, payment processors, and corporate structures are now part of the legal conversation. That shift matters for Curaçao. “Because whether policymakers on the island like it or not, Curaçao is part of that infrastructure. The presence of locally registered entities in international cases is not incidental. It is structural. And that means the island cannot dismiss these developments as foreign legal disputes with no local relevance.” The debate also highlights wider fears about Curaçao's standing internationally. As regulators worldwide intensify their examination of online gambling, there is a growing recognition that being viewed as having lax supervision could negatively impact the island's entire financial services industry. Concurrently, industry representatives point out that corporate service providers are not enforcement agencies and might have limited insight into their clients' international operations. Fraud specialist Alex Wood, who investigated the unlicensed market and directly experienced the risks these sites pose to consumers, shared this view. He managed to register on certain sites, many of which are owned by Santeda, using identities of fictional characters, racehorse trainers, racehorses, and individuals below the legal gambling age. Nevertheless, he cautioned that legally confronting these operators would be a monumental challenge, as payment service providers and social media platforms also benefit from the expansion of the black market. Wood stated plainly: “When it’s cross-border like that, it’s impossible.” However, calls from the Curaçao media to strengthen gambling regulations could mark a pivotal moment. If domestically licensed operators faced more rigorous rules, the spread of their brands into illegal markets might be reduced. The Curaçao Gaming Authority, despite being a popular jurisdiction for operators, has been relatively lenient in addressing international problems related to its licensees conducting illegal activities. In July 2025, the regulator reached an out-of-court settlement amounting to 360,000 Caribbean Guilder (£148,700) with 12 anonymous online casino operators, following a criminal probe that uncovered extensive shortcomings in verifying player identities. This amounts to a fine of approximately £12,391.67 per operator—a trifling sum relative to the revenues these companies are likely generating. Curaçao Gaming Authority introduces new reforms Reforms unveiled today could signal a move toward more stringent regulations, as the authority rolls out new compliance guidelines as part of a comprehensive restructuring of the island's gambling industry under the National Ordinance for Games of Chance (LOK). The rules, set to take effect starting in October 2026, mandate that licensed operators bolster their terms and conditions and adhere to more rigorous regulatory standards. These changes prioritize transparency and consumer protection, with the goal of improving the jurisdiction's credibility and its heavily criticized reputation. Operators are required to provide clear, easy-to-understand terms, guarantee that users explicitly accept them, and openly disclose their identity verification and anti-money laundering processes. The updated framework also brings in tougher penalties, where non-compliant businesses risk fines, license suspension, or cancellation, indicating a potential island-wide move to a more strictly controlled setting. However, as suggested by the country's own media, these new rules might be insufficient. The article went on: “Laws on paper are not enough. What matters is enforcement, consistency, and the willingness to act when standards are not met. “There is also a reputational dimension that cannot be ignored. In an increasingly interconnected world, perception matters. If Curaçao is seen as a weak link in the global regulatory chain, that perception will have consequences, not only for the gambling sector but for the broader financial services industry. “The island faces a clear choice. It can continue to operate in a reactive mode, responding to international pressure case by case, or it can take a proactive approach and define its own standards for what responsible participation in the global digital economy looks like. “The ongoing case in the Netherlands is not just a legal dispute abroad. It is a mirror. And what Curaçao chooses to see – and to do – will shape its position in the global economy for years to come.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Kambi is expanding beyond the sports betting sector through a collaboration with Google, seeking to improve the tech giant's esports offerings. Under this agreement, Kambi will supply Google with various esports data sets, such as schedules, match results, statistics, team and player details, and scores. The covered titles feature major games like League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Valorant. These data packages come from Abios, Kambi's dedicated esports arm. Werner Becher, Chief Executive Officer of Kambi Group, stated: “Teaming up with Google marks a major milestone for Kambi and Abios, serving as a strong validation of the sophisticated data infrastructure and expertise we've built over the years. “Leveraging Google's worldwide reach, this partnership will enhance how global audiences access and experience esports data.” Notably, the agreement does not mention gambling. This seems to be Kambi's first venture outside its traditional betting and gaming market, where it has operated since starting in 2010. Established in Sweden with its main office in Malta, Kambi originally had Swedish B2C betting firm Kindred as a majority stakeholder until a sale in 2014. Over the next nine years, Kambi gained greater independence from Kindred, finishing with the full repayment of a multi-million euro loan in 2023. Nevertheless, Kindred and its Unibet and 32red brands—currently under French group FDJ United—continue to be a major client for Kambi. The Google partnership comes after a busy period for Kambi in the sportsbook sector, during which it signed agreements to provide its technology and data to entities such as France's PMU, Swedish peer Comeon Group, and Finnish startup SuomiVeto. For its part, the IT and search behemoth Google notes that it intends to deliver more comprehensive esports features to fans via Google Search and the Google App. Marvin Brischke, EMEA Sports Partnerships Lead at Google, commented: “Esports is seeing rising global popularity, and we are happy to collaborate with Kambi and Abios to expand the range of esports information we offer our users.” Interested in more similar stories?

(AsiaGameHub) - Rancangan Parti Buruh Australia untuk reformasi pengiklanan di Australia telah dipertikai selepas ahli politik mempersoalkan keberkesanan rancangan untuk mengurangkan jangkauan iklan perjudian di media sosial. Cadangan semasa akan memaksa platform penstriman dan media sosial, enjin carian dan laman web yang menampilkan kandungan pertaruhan untuk meminta pengguna log masuk, mengesahkan mereka berumur lebih 18 tahun dan membenarkan mereka memilih keluar daripada melihat kandungan perjudian. Walau bagaimanapun, cadangan ini kini mungkin terganggu, setelah dinamakan sebagai 'tidak boleh dilaksanakan'. 'Triple lock' ini direka untuk menghalang kanak-kanak daripada melihat iklan perjudian dan membenarkan orang dewasa memilih keluar jika mereka tidak mahu terlibat dengan industri ini. Walau bagaimanapun, ahli politik telah menekankan bahawa dalam banyak kes, orang dewasa dan kanak-kanak berkongsi akaun yang sama di platform seperti Spotify dan YouTube. Di samping itu, kandungan seperti podcast selalunya mempunyai iklan yang diproses bersama, yang mempersulit keupayaan platform seperti Apple Podcasts untuk menghalang mereka yang telah memilih keluar daripada mendengar iklan perjudian. Ahli Parlimen Bebas Kate Chaney memberitahu The Guardian: “Terdapat sedikit bukti dunia sebenar yang menunjukkan model opt-out akan mengurangkan kemudaratan sosial, emosi dan kewangan yang disebabkan oleh perjudian di Australia. “Memanggilnya 'triple-lock' membuatnya kelihatan lebih protektif daripada yang sebenarnya – kebanyakan keluarga berkongsi akaun penstriman dan melainkan ibu bapa dengan teliti melalui setiap platform, laman web dan perkhidmatan penstriman serta secara manual mencari dan mengaktifkan pilihan opt-out, iklan perjudian akan terus dilihat.” Selain triple-lock, sekatan akan dikenakan ke atas bilangan iklan perjudian di TV setiap jam, dan larangan akan dikenakan semasa siaran langsung sukan dan masa penurunan dan penjemputan sekolah yang ditentukan. Iklan perjudian telah menjadi isu berlarutan untuk Parti Buruh, kerana parti itu telah menghadapi tekanan untuk melaksanakan reformasi sejak Laporan Murphy dikeluarkan pada 2023 selepas siasatan ke atas pasaran perjudian dalam talian Australia. Semasa pengumuman rancangan ini, Anika Wells, Menteri Komunikasi, berkongsi keyakinannya bahawa reformasi ini akan 'memutuskan hubungan antara pertaruhan dan sukan' dan mengurangkan 'ketepuan'nya di seluruh internet, radio dan televisyen. Beberapa podcast sukan terbesar Australia, seperti Bloke in a Bar dan Hello Sports, mempunyai hubungan yang kuat dengan jenama pertaruhan, dan Senator Bebas David Pocock menggambarkan persilangan ini sebagai contoh cara 'industri predator berinovasi dan beralih dengan cepat untuk menyasarkan medium dan pasaran baru'. “Melindungi rakyat Australia, terutamanya kanak-kanak dan orang muda, daripada iklan perjudian di platform dalam talian popular, dari podcast ke Spotify ke YouTube, nampaknya hampir tidak boleh dilaksanakan di bawah cadangan semasa,” kata Pocock, yang pernah menjadi kapten pasukan ragbi union Australia dan telah menjadi penentang tegas industri perjudian sejak peralihan beliau ke dalam politik. “Analisis sendiri kerajaan mendapati bahawa larangan separa ini akan menelan kos lebih banyak untuk ditegakkan dan memberikan manfaat yang kurang kepada negara,” Laporan oleh Pejabat Analisis Impak (IRO) Perdana Menteri Anthony Albanese telah meramalkan bahawa rancangan kerajaan, yang akan dilaksanakan mulai 1 Januari 2027, akan mengurangkan perbelanjaan perjudian tahunan Australia sebanyak AU$62.7 juta setiap tahun, atau 0.8%. Jurucakap Wells memberitahu The Guardian bahawa lebih banyak 'definisi khusus' akan dikeluarkan untuk mengelakkan lubang kesilapan semasa undang-undang dibangunkan sebelum ia dilancarkan pada 2027.

(AsiaGameHub) - World-famous DJ Oliver Heldens is set to headline INFINITY Florida for its much-awaited second edition, marking an electrifying end to SBC Summit Americas. Happening on Thursday, June 11, at Miami’s DAER Nightclub and Dayclub, the official closing party guarantees a memorable evening where guests can network, toast the week’s successes, and immerse themselves in a top-tier EDM experience. First launched in Lisbon in 2024, the INFINITY brand made its Florida premiere in 2025, featuring an unforgettable headlining set by Steve Aoki. By blending elite DJs with premium production values, pyrotechnics, laser displays, and free drinks, it creates a festival-like vibe that’s become a signature element of the SBC experience. Previous performers include Afrojack, Alok, Darude, Dubdogz, Galantis, Timmy Trumpet, and Öwnboss. “INFINITY Florida is where we elevate the experience beyond the ordinary. It’s not just about making connections—it’s about crafting a night that guests will remember forever,” stated Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC. “Oliver Heldens is the ideal artist for this. He brings massive energy, impactful moments, and a set that keeps the audience dancing nonstop from beginning to end.” Oliver Heldens is a Dutch DJ, producer, and radio personality who’s emerged as one of the most well-known figures in electronic music, racking up more than 4 billion streams across the globe. With over 10 years in the industry, he’s earned a reputation for fusing house, techno, and pop elements into a unique sound that’s solidified his place as a mainstay in the international dance community. His breakthrough came in 2013 with ‘Gecko’, a track that achieved triple platinum status and topped the UK charts after a collaboration with Becky Hill. Since then, Heldens has dropped globally popular tracks like ‘Last All Night (Koala)’, ‘The Right Song’, and ‘Turn Me On’, and collaborated with A-list artists including Nile Rodgers, Kylie Minogue, David Guetta, and Armin van Buuren. He’s also remixed songs for acts like Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Jamiroquai, and Justin Timberlake. Famous for his dynamic, high-energy performances, he now entertains over 2 million fans annually. In 2025 alone, he headlined events at the Indianapolis 500, F1 Dutch Grand Prix, Ultra Music Festival Miami, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and London’s O2 Academy Brixton. In addition to his own music, Heldens has left a lasting impact through his record label ventures. In 2015, he founded HelDeep Records to support up-and-coming producers and DJs, and the label has since backed artists like ALOK, Chocolate Puma, and Dada Life. He expanded his label lineup in 2020 with OH2 and in 2023 with HILOMATIK, strengthening his influence across various subgenres of electronic music. In 2015, Heldens ventured into a darker, more high-energy techno sound under his HI-LO moniker, making his debut with the track ‘Renegade Mastah’. This project has since become a standalone success, gaining support from industry leaders like Carl Cox, Solomun, Charlotte de Witte, and Amelie Lens, among others. The INFINITY Florida closing party will wrap up SBC Summit Americas, an event that will gather thousands of industry experts from North, Central, and South America for three days of learning, networking, and product exploration.

(AsiaGameHub) - Sebelum AGM 2026 pengendali ini, Genting Singapore memberikan kemas kini mengenai transformasi resort Singapura mereka dan pemantauan rapat mereka terhadap cabaran ekonomi global yang didoroni oleh konflik di Iran. Syarikat itu paling baru-baru ini memperbaharui lesen untuk Resorts World Sentosa pada November 2024, menandakan sambungan pembaruan yang lebih pendek, yang biasanya merupakan proses tiga tahun. Ia telah memulakan apa yang digambarkan sebagai RWS 2.0, projek $5 bilion untuk mengemas kini kasino. Menjawab soalan mengenai perkara ini, Genting Singapore menyatakan bahawa mereka telah mengambil alih projek ini disebabkan oleh perubahan landskap selepas pandemik dan strategi pelancongan yang berkembang di Singapura. Mengemas kini pelabur, ia menyatakan: “Kumpulan telah membuat kemajuan dalam transformasi RWS 2.0 selari dengan strategi pelancongan Singapura dan mengekalkan penglibatan rapat dengan pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan. Lembaga Pengarah terus mengawasi pelaksanaan inisiatif penambahbaikan oleh Pengurusan dan percaya Kumpulan berada dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk kitaran penilaian seterusnya.” Di samping itu, volatiliti dan kekacauan pelancongan global hanya berkemungkinan akan meningkat dalam bulan-bulan akan datang, kerana Genting Singapore menegaskan bahawa mereka terus memantau perkembangan di Timur Tengah sambil menekankan bahawa keadaan kekal 'tidak pasti' menjelang AGM 2026 mereka. Kebimbangan Genting mengukuhkan kesan meluas daripada konflik di Iran, yang terus memberikan kesan yang mengganggu secara signifikan terhadap ekonomi global dan pelancongan. Menjawab soalan yang dikemukakan sebelum AGM mereka, Genting Singapore menyatakan bahawa mereka 'terus memantau secara aktif perkembangan geopolitik di Timur Tengah dan menilai implikasi potensi untuk perniagaan dan persekitaran operasinya'. Pengendali itu menyambung: “Memandangkan sifat keadaan yang sentiasa berubah, Pengurusan kekal fokus untuk menilai pelbagai kesan langsung dan tidak langsung yang berpotensi, termasuk impak yang mungkin berlaku ke atas aliran perjalanan antarabangsa, keadaan kos dan sentimen makroekonomi yang lebih luas. Oleh kerana keadaan kekal tidak pasti dan tertakluk kepada perubahan, adalah terlalu awal untuk membuat kesimpulan muktamad mengenai kesan potensi ke atas Kumpulan. “Kumpulan akan terus memantau perkembangan dengan rapat dan bertindak balas sewajarnya sekiranya keadaan berubah secara material. Dalam jangka masa panjang, tawaran resort bersepadu yang dipelbagaikan oleh Kumpulan, kedudukan kewangan yang kukuh dan status Singapura sebagai destinasi yang selamat, terkawal selia dengan baik dan mempunyai sambungan yang baik menyokong keupayaannya untuk menguruskan ketidakpastian luaran sambil mengekalkan daya tahan operasi.” Perkembangan terkini di Timur Tengah menunjukkan sangat sedikit tanda untuk menstabil kerana Presiden AS Donald Trump mengumumkan rancangan untuk menghalang Selat Hormuz selepas rundingan damai gagal mencapai kesimpulan antara Iran dan AS pada hujung minggu.

(AsiaGameHub) - The Star Entertainment Group is pressing forward with its internal organizational restructuring following the appointment of its new Chief Risk Officer. The announcement was posted by David Schollenberger himself on his personal LinkedIn profile, which highlights his lengthy career managing key compliance processes across multiple public and private gaming firms. This appointment is expected to help bolster the company’s standing after a stretch of financial belt-tightening. Notably, Schollenberger served as Director of Compliance and Policy at the Cyprus National Gaming and Casino Supervision Commission from 2018 to 2021. After that role, he joined Metric Gaming as Head of Legal and Compliance for a three-year term. One of his most recent prior positions was Senior Legal Counsel – International at Bally’s Interactive before he relocated to Australia to join The Star as Deputy Chief Legal Officer. Just two months into this role, he has now been named the company’s Chief Risk Officer. The move from Bally’s Interactive to The Star was not a random coincidence, either. In 2025, Bally’s Corporation — the former parent company of Bally’s Interactive (now owned by Intralot) — completed a deal to acquire a 38% stake in The Star Entertainment Group, worth AU$300 million (£158 million). SBC News readers will be aware that The Star reported a net deficit of AU$302 million in 2025, with year-over-year revenue falling by 25% and a AU$26 million decline in EBITDA. On top of that, The Star was investigated by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (AUSTRAC) over suspected money laundering, which prompted the company to pledge substantial investments into its compliance infrastructure. The financial pressures were so severe that the company’s leadership was forced to sell its Queen’s Wharf venue in Brisbane in order to stay operational. At one point, The Star’s shares were temporarily delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange after the company missed the deadline to submit its financial filings. Since completing the deal with Bally’s Corporation, there have been several high-profile leadership changes at The Star aimed at getting the casino back on solid footing. In December, Bally’s Chair Soo Kim took on the role of Board Chairman, while Bruce Mathieson Jnr stepped into the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer position to replace Steve McCann, who resigned from the role. Now that Schollenberger is officially overseeing some of the company’s most strategic responsibilities, The Star appears determined to regain its former standing sooner rather than later.

(AsiaGameHub) - Lebih setahun selepas LiveScore Group membuat keputusan untuk keluar dari Belanda, pengendali itu kelihatan mendapat manfaat daripada strategi Eropah baharunya apabila ia menghampiri keuntungan. Kumpulan itu, yang mengendalikan LiveScore Media, LiveScore Bet dan Virgin Bet, keluar dari Belanda pada November 2024 selepas kerajaan mengumumkan kenaikan cukai kepada 37.8% menjelang Januari 2026. Pada masa itu, Sam Sadi, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif LiveScore Group, berkata keputusan itu, bersama-sama dengan garis panduan pengiklanan yang lebih ketat, menjadikan pasaran itu tidak lagi berdaya maju secara komersial. Ia adalah keputusan yang menyumbang kepada pengurangan kerugian operasi sehingga Mac 2025, yang jatuh hampir separuh kepada £26.7 juta, berbanding £50.7 juta yang dilaporkan pada tahun kewangan 2024. Peningkatan dalam prestasi didorong oleh prestasi kukuh operasi UK LiveScore, yang menyaksikan peningkatan perolehan daripada £139.2 juta kepada £175.6 juta. Ini mengimbangi kerugian dalam perolehan untuk operasi LiveScore di Eropah – hampir keseluruhannya disebabkan oleh penarikannya di Belanda – dan seluruh dunia. Secara keseluruhan, perolehan meningkat sebanyak £27.3 juta kepada £206.3 juta. Tidak termasuk Belanda, perolehan meningkat sebanyak £33.5 juta kepada £194 juta. LiveScore menggambarkannya sebagai berada dalam 'fasa pengembangan', dibuktikan dengan pelancaran VirginBet baru-baru ini di Afrika Selatan, dan mengaitkan prestasinya dengan keuntungan kasar mengatasi pelaburan. Lebih banyak persoalan daripada jawapan? Walaupun didorong oleh prestasi kukuh aset UKnya, perubahan berterusan dalam pasaran bermakna dua tahun akan datang merupakan titik penting bagi syarikat seperti LiveScore yang ingin mengukuhkan kedudukan mereka dalam bidang kuasa tersebut. Permulaan April menandakan permulaan cukai baharu 40% ke atas hasil perjudian kasar daripada aktiviti kasino dalam talian, menjadikan pasaran hampir sama mencabar seperti Belanda. LiveScore telah menyatakan keyakinannya bahawa prestasi syarikat akan memberikan 'ketahanan yang mencukupi' untuk menyerap beban cukai. Walau bagaimanapun, hakikat bahawa 90% daripada perolehannya dijana daripada jenama perjudian dalam talian B2Cnya – bersama-sama dengan fakta bahawa pertumbuhan prestasi kewangannya pada tahun kewangan lalu bergantung pada pertumbuhan perolehan UK – bermakna LiveScore terdedah kepada impak rangka kerja cukai baharu. Dalam usaha untuk mendahului perubahan, kumpulan itu keluar dari pasaran Bulgaria pada Disember dalam usaha untuk memfokuskan semula sumber dan memastikan kumpulan itu kekal 'kukuh dan tangkas' berikutan bajet UK. Sejak keluar dari Belanda, Sadi memberitahu SBC News bahawa keputusan itu telah 'disahkan' kerana syarikat lain 'membazirkan' modal cuba kekal menguntungkan walaupun terdapat cabaran cukai. Tetapi, dalam kes ini, LiveScore akan menjadi salah satu syarikat utama yang cuba merancang laluan kepada keuntungan di tengah-tengah perubahan. Memandangkan UK kekal sebagai pasaran utama LiveScore, prestasinya bermakna kumpulan itu mungkin dapat mengukuhkan kedudukannya apabila syarikat lain yang lebih kecil tersingkir berikutan peningkatan beban kewangan. Di luar UK, LiveScore telah mula mencari pengembangan di luar Eropah, di mana rangka kerja cukai cenderung lebih bermanfaat untuk pengendali. Seperti yang dinyatakan, selepas mendapatkan lesen daripada pengawal selia perjudian di Western Cape dan Mpumalanga, LiveScore kini telah melancarkan VirginBet di Afrika Selatan, membina operasi sedia ada LiveScore di Nigeria. Walaupun perolehan LiveScore di seluruh dunia menurun sebanyak 14% kepada £14.4 juta pada tahun kewangan lalu, pasaran iGaming Afrika terus menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang kukuh dan pelancaran di Afrika Selatan mewakili peluang yang signifikan. Walau bagaimanapun, memandangkan pelancaran itu berlaku selepas Mac 2025, keputusan, positif atau negatif, tidak akan diketahui untuk tempoh masa yang ketara.

(AsiaGameHub) - Colombia’s Constitutional Court has upheld its prior ruling, denying President Gustavo Petro and his administration the authority to enact "emergency tax decrees" without legislative approval from Congress. This ruling effectively mandates that the Humana government must discontinue the 19% VAT on gambling transactions that has been enforced since March 2021. The administration had originally introduced this tax via an emergency decree as part of a broader effort to increase levies on specific industries and their associated transactions. The Court rejected the emergency decree, which aimed to impose new tax measures on online gambling, tobacco, alcohol, and fuel, reiterating that any fiscal adjustments require formal scrutiny and approval by Congress. Following a review by constitutional judges, it was concluded that the "exceptional circumstances" invoked by President Petro did not satisfy the constitutional requirements of "exceptionality" and "unforeseeability." Consequently, Petro is once again prevented from using emergency powers to raise the VAT on alcohol from 5% to 19%, increase the tax burden on financial institutions by 15% (bringing the effective rate to 50%), or apply a 19% VAT to luxury items such as high-displacement motorcycles and yachts. Online gambling revenue was also subject to the proposed 19% VAT. In total, the government sought to generate roughly COP 11trn (€2.5bn) to mitigate growing social and fiscal challenges. While Petro informed Congress of his willingness to negotiate certain taxes, he maintained that he would not alter charges on gambling licenses, characterizing the industry as a sector that should be subject to "sin taxes." In its decision, the Court also suspended the legal validity of related measures, confirming that Legislative Decrees 1474 of 2025 and 044 of 2026 will remain inoperative pending further constitutional review. This ruling establishes clear boundaries on the executive branch's authority to circumvent legislative procedures, emphasizing that budgetary reforms must be handled through Congress. The focus now turns to lawmakers, as the taxation of gambling remains a priority on the political agenda. The National Congress of Colombia is currently evaluating alternative frameworks, specifically Decrees 0240 and 0241, which suggest a 16% levy on online gambling through two methods: one applied directly to operators and another charged at the point of customer deposit. These proposals also aim to broaden taxation to cover all payment methods, including cash, bank transfers, and potentially cryptocurrency, as part of a wider initiative to capture digital transaction flows. This renewed legislative effort follows the Court’s previous invalidation of a 19% VAT on online gambling based on gross gaming revenue (GGR), which was a key component of Petro’s fiscal strategy. With emergency powers off the table, the government is now utilizing standard legislative channels to seek approval. Fiscal strain continues to mount, with Colombia facing a budget deficit projected at up to COP 30trn, while tax collections have fallen short of expectations according to DIAN figures. Policymakers are increasingly identifying online gambling as a viable tax base to fund public spending, though industry representatives caution that cumulative taxes—particularly those aimed at payment channels and deposits—could stifle sector growth and diminish long-term revenue contributions. Congress is set to evaluate the technical execution of these proposals, including the determination of whether enforcement should be managed by the central government or Coljuegos, as well as how reporting and compliance requirements will be organized. For the gambling industry, while the immediate risk of taxes imposed via emergency decree has been eliminated, the trajectory is evident: taxation is inevitable, but it will be processed through Congress.

(AsiaGameHub) - Singapore’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) is set to see a major leadership handover this June, when current Chief Executive Teo Chun Ching steps down from his post. Ching, who also holds the position of Deputy Commissioner of Policy, will be succeeded by Tan Sin Heng Daniel, who currently serves as Traffic Police Commander under the Singapore Police Force. His nearly eight-year tenure has covered both structural reform and technological progress. As the GRA noted, one of his most standout achievements was overseeing the 2022 restructuring that converted the Casino Regulatory Authority into the Gambling Regulatory Authority, which extended the regulator’s remit from only overseeing casinos to supervising all forms of gambling activity. This reorganisation was paired with a sweeping legislative revamp, including the introduction of the Gambling Control Act. This new framework replaced multiple outdated laws to enable a more flexible and responsive regulatory approach for the sector. Apart from legislative updates, Ching led the organisation’s digital transformation, during which the GRA upgraded its cybersecurity capabilities and developed sophisticated data analytics tools. These adjustments are reported to have boosted the GRA’s ability to identify and address risks including problem gambling and money laundering. Working in partnership with the Ministry of Home Affairs, the University of Oxford graduate also played a core role in revising the Casino Control Act in 2024. Daniel to take over GRA’s top leadership post Daniel will take the helm of the GRA at a time when the gambling landscape continues to evolve rapidly, not only in Singapore but across the world. With a career that has covered multiple senior roles across Singapore’s Home Affairs ecosystem, the 54-year-old brings a wide range of relevant experience. “As Commander of the Traffic Police, Mr Tan pushed forward major legislative changes that improved road safety, such as revisions to the demerit points system and expanded speed limiter requirements for heavy vehicles,” the GRA stated. “He also forged strong collaborative ties with government agencies and industry stakeholders to deliver safer road conditions for Singapore.” Previously, when serving as Deputy Commissioner (Policy and Transformation) at the Singapore Prison Service, the incoming GRA Chief Executive led major organisational and policy initiatives. The GRA believes Daniel’s experience integrating technology into operational workflows and managing complex policy environments puts him in a strong position to build on the foundations laid by Ching. It remains to be seen whether Singapore will maintain its strict crackdown on unlicensed operators, particularly as these entities have grown more prevalent across the globe recently. Unlicensed operators face a fine of SGD 500,000 (£292,000), as well as imprisonment of up to seven years. Repeat offenders are liable for an even higher penalty of SGD 700,000 and a prison term of up to 10 years, per GRA regulations. The jurisdiction issued a ruling against prediction markets platform Polymarket in early 2025, with Alex Zuo, Investment and Custody VP at Cobo Global, remarking at the time: “If you want to place a wager, you can only use a state-owned gambling company. Otherwise, you will face fines and jail time.” This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) - Australian crossbench MPs are cautioning that regulations for gambling advertisements on podcasts, social media, and through influencers must be strengthened to prevent the exploitation of regulatory gaps. According to a report by The Guardian, a spokesperson for Communications Minister Anika Wells stated that the government's planned partial ban on gambling ads will incorporate more "specific definitions" concerning the timing and placement of restrictions to close potential loopholes. She said: “Further details and specific definitions will be refined through the legislative drafting process, which will include consultation with key stakeholders.” The discussion concerning gambling advertising in Australia has persisted for a significant period. At the start of this month, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese detailed the Labor government's intention to implement "strong and decisive actions" to reduce gambling advertisements nationwide. He stated this move would offer better protection for young and vulnerable people. This position represents an escalation from a 2023 parliamentary report, referred to as the Murphy Report, which put forward 31 recommendations for reforming Australia's gambling regulations – a central proposal was a complete ban on gambling advertisements. However, the government's pace in enacting the report's recommendations has been relatively slow, leading to frustration among many backbench MPs. Closing gambling advertising loopholes The partial ban will mandate that streaming video, music, and podcast platforms, along with search engines and websites hosting gambling content, must verify that users are logged in, are aged over 18, and can choose to opt out of viewing betting content. Dubbed a 'triple lock functionality', the government anticipates this measure will reduce the public's exposure to wagering promotions. Nonetheless, The Guardian has cited "several industry sources" indicating that streaming services, including Apple Podcasts, are contemplating new age-verification systems. There are also suggestions that platforms might remove all betting content completely, arguing that no straightforward method exists to comply with the new rules. At present, regulations pertaining to individual podcasts remain ambiguous; questions have emerged regarding who is responsible for removing gambling advertisements or implementing the opt-out feature. Simone McCarthy, a Gambling and Public Health Researcher at Deakin University, argued that current rules require further tightening to address grey areas involving podcasts and social media. She said: “When people work with advertisers on podcasts, they often do an ad that is embedded in their podcast, so it … doesn’t sit separately to the whole content. If the ad itself is kind of built into the podcast itself, being read by the host, you can’t just turn that off. “We just know that podcasts are hugely popular with younger audiences and … they’re not easy to regulate in terms of age access and age gating that the government hopes to do. So I think it can create a bit of a blind spot in current policies that are built around platforms where audiences can be more clearly separated.” She added that this strengthening of rules should also extend to social media platforms, warning that content creators and influencers might discover methods to disseminate wagering content on sites like Instagram, X and others. “We know that if we leave gaps in gambling regulation, the industry doesn’t hesitate to just move into those gaps,” she said. The question of protection Earlier this month, Albanese clarified in a speech at the National Press Club that the crackdown on gambling ads is part of the government's effort to strike a balance between "letting adults have a punt if they want to, but making sure our children don’t see betting ads everywhere they look.” However, the effectiveness of the partial ban was questioned last week when a new report from the Office of Impact Analysis (OIA) concluded the measure would only cut the annual amount wagered by AU$62.7m (£33m) – a reduction of roughly 0.8%. The OIA's report indicated that the advertising restrictions would affect 2,461 industry participants, including betting firms, broadcasters, podcasters, and streaming services. Independent Senator David Pocock remarked that the presence of gambling ads in popular podcasts demonstrates how "this predatory industry innovates and pivots quickly to target new mediums and markets". He believes additional action is necessary. He said: “Protecting Australians, especially children and young people, from gambling advertising on popular online platforms from podcasts to Spotify to YouTube seems almost unworkable under the current proposal. “The government’s own analysis found that this partial ban is going to cost more to enforce and deliver less benefits to the nation.” Independent MP Kate Chaney, supported this perspective, suggesting the government's reforms need to reassign the responsibility for opting out of wagering ads. She added: “Calling it a ‘triple-lock’ makes it sound much more protective than it actually is – most families share streaming accounts and unless parents painstakingly go through each platform, website and streaming service and manually find and activate the opt-out options, gambling ads will continue to be seen. “There is little real-world evidence to suggest an opt-out model will reduce the social, emotional and financial harms caused by gambling in Australia.” The debate over how extensively gambling advertisements should be restricted in Australia continues intensely, with no immediate resolution in sight. Yet, judging by recent developments, demands for stricter limitations seem to be gaining traction – suggesting the era of hearing betting ads in podcasts or on social media may be drawing to a close.

(AsiaGameHub) - Pihak berkuasa di negara Afrika Eswatini terpaksa berebut mencari lokasi mahkamah baharu disebabkan saiz rangkaian perjudian haram yang dikesan di negara itu. Sepanjang bulan lalu, 146 warganegara asing telah ditahan oleh Royal Eswatini Police Service setelah dituduh mengendalikan rangkaian perjudian dalam talian dan operasi penipuan. Bagaimanapun, pihak berkuasa kini terpaksa mencari lokasi baharu untuk prosiding undang-undang selepas perbicaraan awal mendapati bahawa Mahkamah Majistret Mbabane terlalu kecil. Menurut laporan daripada Times of Eswatini, penyokong tertuduh terpaksa berdiri di luar, menyebabkan ketua pembelaan bertanya sama ada lokasi baharu akan ditemui. Majistret Utama Fikile Nhlabatsi, yang mengetuai prosiding itu, mencadangkan agar perbicaraan diadakan di dewan mahkamah lain di Eswatini yang mempunyai kapasiti lebih besar. Beliau juga mencadangkan agar tertuduh lelaki dan perempuan dibawa ke mahkamah secara berasingan. Daripada 146 yang ditahan, majoriti adalah dari Asia – berasal dari negara seperti China, Filipina, Malaysia dan Taiwan. Sebilangan kecil suspek juga berasal dari Brazil. Dalam hampir semua kes, mereka yang ditahan didapati memasuki negara secara haram, dan dipercayai operasi tersebut mensasarkan orang di luar Eswatini. Semasa serbuan, yang kebanyakannya berlaku di hotel-hotel di sekitar Eswatini, polis mendapati bilik-bilik telah diubah menjadi pusat panggilan sementara dan stesen kerja dengan komputer dan peranti mudah alih. Mengikut trend yang dilihat di lokasi lain yang digunakan untuk penipuan, satu bilik hotel kelihatan telah direka untuk menyerupai balai polis dan digunakan untuk meyakinkan mangsa bahawa mereka sedang berhubung dengan pegawai penguatkuasa undang-undang yang sah. Prosiding jenayah di Eswatini menunjukkan pengembangan operasi penipuan yang ketara yang telah dikaitkan dengan kasino dan terus membunyikan penggera di seluruh Asia Tenggara. Khususnya, kerajaan Kemboja telah diletakkan di bawah tekanan yang besar untuk menangani kebimbangan bahawa negara itu telah menjadi hab operasi sedemikian, apabila badan amal hak asasi manusia Amnesty International menuduh pembuat undang-undang 'sengaja mengabaikan rentetan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia' yang dikaitkan dengan kompleks di negara itu. Laporan yang diterbitkan pada Jun 2025 oleh badan amal itu mengenal pasti 53 kompleks penipuan, dan lebih separuh daripadanya dikaitkan dengan kasino, keraskan kumpulan jenayah sering mengubah bekas kasino dan hotel menjadi pusat penipuan. Baru-baru ini, Amnesty menandakan 12 kasino yang mana Cambodia Commercial Gambling Management Commission (CGMC) meluluskan rancangan antara Disember 2025 dan Januari 2026, dengan menjelaskan bahawa lokasi sedemikian beroperasi sebagai kompleks penipuan di mana pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang didakwa telah didokumenkan. Perbicaraan bagi 146 yang ditahan di Eswatini akan bermula pada 12 Jun. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

(AsiaGameHub) - LiveScore Group has substantially reduced its losses and crossed the £200 million revenue threshold for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. In its corporate filings with Companies House, LiveScore’s leadership reaffirms its ongoing investment strategy aimed at boosting product efficiency and enhancing the margin performance of its flagship brands. The company—owner of the Virgin Bet, LiveScore Media, and LiveScore Bet portfolio—recorded a corporate turnover of £206 million, marking a 15% rise from the £179 million reported in FY2023/2024. The annual results highlight a notable improvement in LiveScore’s financial efficiency, with the firm slashing its operating losses by almost half—from £51 million in FY2023/2024 to £27 million this year. The EBITDA loss also narrowed significantly toward break-even, improving by more than 60% as it dropped from £38.8 million to £15.2 million. The group’s overall accounts were finalized in line with expectations, with the company noting: “As part of our overall growth plans, the business incurred substantial expansion and marketing costs. The reduced operating loss stemmed from a rise in gross profit that outpaced our continued heavy investment in marketing and the LiveScore brand.” Emerging Opportunities for LiveScore LiveScore continues to invest heavily in marketing, technology, and global expansion—most recently entering the South African market with Virgin Bet. While these costs have been substantial and played a major role in the £26.7 million loss, revenue is starting to rise as the company gains a foothold in key global markets. However, the company isn’t expanding indiscriminately: it exited the Netherlands in late 2024 due to tax hikes and advertising restrictions, and also withdrew from Bulgaria at the end of 2025, citing regulatory challenges in Europe. Looking forward, the company will approach strategic expansion cautiously, as tax increases become increasingly common in key global markets. Such hikes have recently taken effect in its home country, the UK, and there’s widespread talk of a tax rise in South Africa—where LiveScore has just launched. According to the accounts: “On March 31, 2025, a subsidiary of the Group, Virgin Bet South Africa, was awarded a Bookmaker Licence by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board. In October 2025, the same subsidiary obtained an Mpumalanga Bookmaker Licence. The Group officially launched in the South African market in February 2026.”Competition in the iGaming sector is also intensifying ahead of the 2026 World Cup, especially with the rise of prediction markets, which are not bound by the same regulations as traditional iGaming firms like LiveScore’s LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet. LiveScore’s FY2024/25 results indicate the company is on the right track, but with over 600 employees (per filings), it remains cautious of economic headwinds and growing competition as it pursues its global expansion strategy. Although losses have been sharply reduced, tax hikes and advertising restrictions are among the key potential concerns for the group going forward. Heading into 2026, management identifies higher regulatory costs and gaming taxes as major risks to the business—including a significant adjustment starting April 1, when the UK government will impose a 40% tax on remote gambling duties (RGD). From 2026 onward, LiveScore will need a period of alignment to navigate a new ‘cost pressure environment’ where increased taxes impact its commercial and investment strategies. Consequently, the company’s directors have not set a timeline for achieving profitability. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Apabila platform iGaming bergelut dengan ketepuan kandungan, penemuan telah muncul sebagai medan pertempuran kritikal untuk penglibatan pengguna. Ketua Pegawai Produk Vegangster, Michael Oziransky berbual dengan iGaming Expert dan meneroka bagaimana model antara muka baharu, pandangan berasaskan data, dan alat operasi membentuk semula perjalanan pemain. Dari skrol gaya TikTok kepada pengalaman berasaskan AI, beliau menggariskan peralihan ke arah penemuan yang lebih dinamik, cekap dan diperibadikan, serta apa yang diperlukan oleh pengendali untuk kekal kompetitif dalam ekosistem yang semakin kompleks. iGaming Expert: Kebanyakan lobi kasino masih menyerupai katalog slot yang panjang. Mengapakah penemuan kekal sebagai titik lemah dalam UX iGaming, walaupun terdapat kemajuan dalam AI dan pempersonalisan di tempat lain? Michael Oziransky: Pertama sekali, saya rasa kita mula melihat trend yang jelas muncul. Sebagai contoh, kami telah membangunkan ciri "Scroll & Play" kami sendiri, yang merupakan cara alternatif untuk menemui kandungan, diilhamkan oleh antara muka gaya TikTok. Kami tidak bersendirian dalam hal ini; syarikat lain juga meneroka konsep yang serupa, dan teknologi asasnya semakin mendapat sambutan. Cabaran sekarang ialah untuk mengintegrasikan antara muka baharu ini bersama-sama dengan lobi kasino tradisional. Sesetengah pengendali bahkan melancarkan jenama yang dibina sepenuhnya di sekitar format ini, yang merupakan langkah berani, tetapi menunjukkan ke mana hala tuju pasaran. Ketua Pegawai Produk Vegangster, Michael Oziransky Walau bagaimanapun, pengalaman pemain hanyalah sebahagian daripada persamaan. Pengalaman pengendali juga sama kritikal. Untuk membolehkan penemuan berasaskan video, pengendali memerlukan alat belakang yang teguh untuk mengurus dan menyusun kandungan dengan cekap. Salah satu cabaran utama kami tahun ini ialah mengubah konsep ini menjadi alat yang boleh diskalakan, siap pengeluaran, yang boleh digunakan oleh pasukan operasi dengan lancar tanpa mengganggu aliran kerja sedia ada. iGX: Dengan lebih banyak permainan membanjiri pasaran yang sudah tepu, adakah penemuan kandungan lebih penting daripada proses membangunkan judul itu sendiri? MO: Saya tidak fikir penemuan kandungan mengatasi pembangunan permainan. Pada akhirnya, permainan itu sendiri kekal sebagai produk teras. Penemuan mempunyai satu matlamat utama: membuatkan pemain bermain. Walaupun begitu, terdapat trend baru muncul yang patut diperhatikan. Kami mula melihat kandungan yang lebih dinamik atau bahkan dijana di sekitar slot, dengan beberapa pembekal sudah menawarkan alat untuk menyesuaikan elemen permainan dengan lebih mudah. Gabungan trend ini boleh mengubah keseimbangan sedikit, tetapi masih terlalu awal. iGX: Apakah isyarat data yang paling berharga pada masa kini untuk memahami niat pemain dalam masa nyata? MO: Ia bergantung pada segmen pemain, tetapi dari perspektif operasi, salah satu metrik paling penting ialah masa yang diambil untuk beralih dari penemuan kepada pertaruhan wang sebenar. Kami melihat dengan teliti penukaran dalam aliran penemuan, sebagai contoh, berapa banyak interaksi atau "swipe" yang dilakukan oleh pemain sebelum memilih permainan dan membuat pertaruhan. Ini memberikan kami pandangan yang jelas tentang betapa cekapnya pengalaman penemuan itu. iGX: Adakah penemuan kandungan menjadi lebih berasaskan algoritma dari masa ke masa atau adakah kurasi manusia masih relevan untuknya? MO: Saya akan katakan pendekatannya menjadi hibrid. Untuk pemain VIP atau pengguna jangka panjang, kurasi manusia masih memainkan peranan utama. Pengendali memahami pemain ini dengan baik dan boleh mencipta pengalaman yang sangat diperibadikan melalui konfigurasi manual. Walau bagaimanapun, untuk asas pemain yang lebih luas, cadangan berasaskan algoritma adalah penting. Jumlah kandungan yang banyak menjadikan automasi tidak dapat dielakkan. Pada masa yang sama, faktor komersial juga memainkan peranan, seperti penempatan promosi atau penempatan strategik permainan tertentu. Secara keseluruhan, kebanyakan pengalaman penemuan akan semakin bergantung pada enjin cadangan, disokong oleh input manusia yang disasarkan di mana ia memberikan nilai paling banyak. iGX: Vegangster mengenal pasti kebiasaan menatal untuk pengguna dan memperkenalkan lobi kasino Scroll and Play sebagai cara untuk memperkukuh pengalaman melayari kandungan. Apakah tabiat atau trend pengguna lain yang anda lihat sebagai peluang berpotensi untuk diterokai oleh industri? MO: Terdapat peluang yang signifikan di sekitar pengalaman berasaskan AI, terutamanya dengan pembantu AI, watak, atau teman yang boleh membentuk semula cara pengguna berinteraksi dengan platform. Ini boleh mempengaruhi bukan sahaja navigasi tetapi juga penglibatan dalam permainan dan strategi gamifikasi yang lebih luas. Gamifikasi itu sendiri kekal agak statik selama bertahun-tahun, dengan papan pendahulu dan kejohanan sebagai standard, tetapi ada ruang untuk memikirkan semula konsep tersebut sepenuhnya. Kemajuan dalam model bahasa besar, terutamanya dalam suara dan interaksi, boleh membuka kunci pengalaman yang lebih dinamik dan mendalam. iGX: Bagaimanakah anda mengimbangi pendekatan pempersonalisan dengan piawaian perjudian bertanggungjawab? MO: Pada terasnya, perjudian bertanggungjawab bergantung pada mempunyai perlindungan yang betul: pengecualian diri, waktu tamat, dan mekanisme kawalan lain. Pempersonalisan tidak mengubah ini secara asasnya. Tidak kira kandungan yang dicadangkan, perlindungan tersebut mesti kekal konsisten. Isyarat tingkah laku yang sama harus mencetuskan intervensi permainan bertanggungjawab, tanpa mengira lapisan penemuan. iGX: Jika anda melancarkan kasino dalam talian hari ini, apakah ciri penemuan yang anda anggap tidak boleh dirunding untuk bersaing pada tahun 2026 dan seterusnya? MO: Jika melancarkan kasino hari ini, fleksibiliti akan menjadi ciri yang tidak boleh dirunding. Pengendali memerlukan kawalan penuh ke atas antara muka, sama ada ia adalah lobi tradisional atau pengalaman berasaskan skrol, membolehkan mereka bereksperimen, menguji, dan mengoptimumkan secara berterusan. Fleksibiliti ini mesti meliputi pejabat belakang, membolehkan pasukan membuat perubahan dengan pantas dan cekap. Mempunyai ekosistem yang terintegrasi dengan baik dengan semua alat yang diperlukan adalah kritikal untuk kelajuan dan prestasi. Peluang utama lain terletak pada pengintegrasian ciri sportsbook yang lebih baik ke dalam antara muka kasino. Pada masa ini, ini sering kali merupakan pengalaman yang berasingan, tetapi membawa suapan langsung, trend pertaruhan, dan kandungan strim ke dalam antara muka yang bersatu dan dinamik boleh meningkatkan penglibatan dengan ketara.
