Betsson

France's Autorité Nationale des Jeux has granted Betsson France a five-year online poker licence and conditional approval to join tables shared with Spain, Italy and Portugal. It takes a sports-betting-only business into a segment whose revenue grew 13.4% in the first half of 2026.

Latin American revenue rose by more than half and casino carried a weak sportsbook to Betsson's highest quarter yet, but gaming taxes and a shrinking B2B line took almost a third off operating profit. The record also rests on the region where Brazil has already shut its market and a Buenos Aires senator wants to do the same.

Finland's gambling supervisor has ordered six conditional fines paid this year for illegal gambling marketing, every one of them against a person rather than a company, while threatened fines for companies run to €1.2 million. It is the board's last full year in charge, and under the new Gambling Act a prohibition issued now can disqualify a licence applicant in 2027.

The former Secretary General of the European Gaming and Betting Association is the first Director General of the World Gaming and Betting Alliance, a Swiss association whose listed members are bet365, Entain, FDJ United, Flutter and EGBA itself. The Geneva commercial register shows it was founded on 9 July and already had Haijer as a signatory before EGBA announced he was leaving.

Betsson Group has set up the Betsson Foundation to coordinate its community and sports giving. It has published a governance outline and one project in Peru, but no funding commitment, no board and no spending figures to judge it by.

Chile's telecoms undersecretariat has sent internet providers a second list of betting sites to block within 48 hours, mostly new domains and mirrors of international betting brands. The industry group representing the operators says some of the domains go beyond what the courts ordered.

The state court that granted Spribe an injunction against NSX in April, then revoked it in July when a federal court suspended the developer's trademark, has now ruled on the merits: no trademark infringement, no copyright infringement, no unfair competition. It is the third Brazilian decision in a row to go against the Estonian studio, three days after a Brasília judge ordered it to police its own distribution.

The First Hall of the Civil Court granted Spribe an ex parte provisional injunction on 1 September covering two EU trademarks. The evidence the court cited is the kind operators can check for themselves: the two games appearing side by side in a search on Betsson, and a listing that credited Spribe's game to the wrong studio.

Polla Chilena has asked a Santiago court to investigate Betsson, Betano, 1xBet, Coolbet and seven others for unauthorised gambling, money laundering and criminal association. The state is collecting VAT from the same companies its own lottery is describing as an organisation.

An unsolicited cash offer pitched at a 5.7% discount to Evolution's most recent close has put one of iGaming's largest B2B suppliers in play, raising immediate questions about deal rationale, regulatory approvals across multiple jurisdictions, and the future of Evolution's product roadmap.

Betsson has finalised its acquisition of Rhino Entertainment Group for €64.5 million, the company said, strengthening its position in the Canadian market as the Swedish operator continues to expand its North American footprint.

ATG reports a dip in 2025 profits to SEK 2.099 billion as CEO Hans Lord Skarplöth departs; the operator warns that Sweden's increased gambling tax is now directly undermining the financing of the horse racing industry.

A sharp decline in operating income has sparked a sell off in Betsson shares despite the group maintaining steady revenue through the end of 2025. Heavy tax burdens and a slowdown in the Nordic markets have forced the operator to lean on its casino vertical and emerging Latin American territories to sustain its global position.
