The supplier has picked an insider of eight years to run a business it bought back from Endeavour last year. Konstakis takes over at the end of December, a week after the OmniLogic acquisition and a summer in which OpenBet processed more than 175 million World Cup bets.

The State Department says Southeast Asian criminal organisations including Prince Group defrauded Americans of at least $18.2bn in 2025, nearly double the 2024 estimate. It has not named the 32. The same day, Cambodia said its major scam compounds have been cleared and the networks have moved to smaller sites.

Vicky Foxcroft makes her first public appearance in the role at a Labour conference fringe titled "What Next for Gambling Reform: Time for a New Act?" Nobody on the panel has publicly opposed new primary legislation, and neither the industry nor punters are represented.

Applications close on 28 September, seven months after the post fell vacant. The job description is for a land-based inspectorate overseeing 17 casinos in a sector down a fifth since 2019, while a bill in the Senate would hand the same body the online market it has repeatedly said it has no power over.

Gaming Compliance International estimates €91.6bn of unregulated gross gambling revenue across the EU 27 in 2025, up 74% on 2023, and about €22bn in lost tax. The headline number will be quoted all week, so the definitions behind it and who commissioned the work both matter.

Lilith Wittmann has claimed responsibility for the breach the Curaçao Gaming Authority disclosed this morning, says she has had access since December 2025, and has begun releasing material with broadcasters in five countries. She says the full list of ultimate beneficial owners is still to come.

The Curaçao Gaming Authority says the access has been contained and its source identified, and that it has found no compromise of core infrastructure, but it has not yet established what information was reached. The portal is the single channel for every licence application, supplier filing and incident report under the LOK.

A consumer-advocate report collects what is publicly known about the national self-exclusion register: awareness at a quarter of adults and a third of bettors, fifteen operators caught breaching it, one of them more than 100,000 times, three financial penalties, and an Entain case the regulator investigated past its own 12-month limit.

TOTO, Holland Casino, Kansino, FairPlay, Bingoal, bet365, GG Poker and Betcity have licences to September 2031. For the first time the regulator explicitly examined violations definitively established in the previous five years, asked applicants what they had done about them, and issued unnamed operators "additional points for attention".

The regulator has reminded operators that they must screen customers against asset-freezing measures, block designated individuals from opening accounts or betting, freeze funds immediately and report to the Minister for the Economy. The case behind the warning brought a €20,000 fine, a suspended two-month operating ban, and personal penalties for two executives.

The exchange has been meeting regulators in the UK and the EU to argue that its contracts belong to financial supervisors rather than gambling ones, the Financial Times reports, after being blocked in Italy, the Netherlands and France. Britain's Gambling Commission says a prediction market launching here could not classify itself as non-gambling.

The Supreme Court justice refused ANJL's injunction against a state decree barring betting sponsorship on public property, citing the CPI report and public health; ANJL will appeal to the full court. The same day, Lula told Uruguay's president he wants to learn from a model that is a single state platform with a US$700 million illegal market beside it, and ANJL's own count found 6,409 unlicensed domains live last week.

Encore Boston Harbor produced $62.8 million of the three casinos' revenue, up from $95.7 million in July across the state, and the seven mobile books plus three retail counters generated just over $47 million of taxable sports revenue. DraftKings settled $275.1 million of it, nearly twice FanDuel, in the last full month before the NFL.

A confidential CNIGA request for information dated 3 June, obtained by InGame, sets out seven principles for a tribally owned online sports betting market, three market structures with a single tribal consortium on top, a 10% to 25% state share, and a "protect against iGaming" clause. Selected respondents are being met now.

A new daily record of $3.01 billion, another $2.82 billion on Sunday, record fees of $18.2 million and $17.6 million, and the worst two days in Kalshi's history for parlay takers, who lost $46.1 million. Strip out the parlay maker side and neither day was a record for taker volume, InGame's analysis shows.

The second tranche of the Casino Control (Amendment) Act took effect on 21 September: the GRA can now weigh unethical conduct and systemic control failures when deciding whether Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa remain fit to hold a licence, the two must exchange patron information for financial-crime control, and cashing out a bet after the result is known is a crime.

The city has added online gambling to the consequences of being on its register of defaulting maintenance payers: LOTBA-licensed platforms must query the register before opening an account, suspend any existing user who appears on it, and report them to the courts. Jorge Macri: "If you don't meet an obligation as basic as feeding your children, there are consequences."

Lula's communications chief wants a full ban before the 4 October first round; the Finance Ministry says it would cost about R$12 billion the 2027 budget cannot spare. The compromise being floated is to prohibit online casino and restrict advertising while sports betting survives. Lula meets the clubs on Tuesday.

The Indian Gaming Association chair told Gaming America that more tribal lawsuits are coming after the Ninth Circuit, that DraftKings' tribal partnerships in Connecticut, Arizona and Washington are at risk over its prediction-market push, and that the Supreme Court will rule against Kalshi. CNIGA's James Siva: "We're keeping track."

Gamble Pause Initiative Africa, Gamble Aware Nigeria and the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation have formed the ARGN, with participants from nine more countries, to build a continent-wide evidence base on gambling harm. Its president says regulators must legislate before the costs land on Africa's health systems.

The portal confirmed to Bloomberg that the hub carrying Polymarket probabilities alongside its news was taken down in the spring, while the exchange remains an advertiser. It surfaces in the same weekend as the Journal's account of Polymarket's US compliance failures, and as the company courts financial media to make event contracts look like markets.

New Alabama filings show the Chumba Casino owner gave the Republican governor candidate a further $100,000 on 31 August, $170,000 to a PAC funded by DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and the Poarch Band, and $10,000 to $20,000 apiece to six state senators, 36 contributions in five months in a state with no lottery and no regulated online gambling.

The prime minister told workers in the sector to find other jobs, said most of them are foreigners, and ruled out reopening online gambling or issuing new licences. Casinos that keep running online operations after the deadline face revocation, on top of a licence review that has already closed dozens.

A King County judge has refused to revisit the injunction that keeps Kalshi's sports, election and entertainment contracts out of Washington, rejecting the argument that rivals are still operating there. In the same week Kalshi asked for 30 more days on New Jersey's Supreme Court petition and Montana agreed to stand down until the Ninth Circuit rules en banc.
