Mr Justice Tappin has pulled the London trial between Spribe and Aviator LLC forward from early 2028 and frozen the rival game's reach in Colombia, Romania and Serbia. Spribe got the timetable it asked for, but only part of the injunction it sought.
Melco Resorts' Macau properties earned 29% less in the third quarter, and bad luck at the City of Dreams VIP tables explains only part of it. A record quarter in Cyprus added $2.5 million against a $92.8 million fall for the group.
Four of the six exchanges Missouri told to stop offering sports contracts in September are now in federal court, and at least three of them asked for interim relief between Friday and Sunday. With the Eighth Circuit months from a ruling, the exchanges want protection before the merits are decided.
The health department has added seven organisations to its levy-funded prevention grants for England, among them Gambling with Lives, Chapter One and Gamban, which were all absent from April's list. The fund has grown by more than half, with no public explanation.
The Gambling Commission's new survey index finds 2.5% of online gamblers used an illegal site in the past four weeks, a first baseline rather than a trend. It also referred 7.7 million URLs to search engines in one quarter, and about 3 million were removed.
DraftKings now plans to put $650 million to $700 million into Predictions this year, which takes its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance down to $175 million to $275 million. Its sportsbook had a strong quarter: the cut is a spending choice, and the payback case leans on how long sports contracts survive.
Bill S-211 has left the Commons heritage committee with a longer deadline, looser consultation duties and no in-game advertising ban. It requires a framework, not a ban, and the Senate would still have to accept the changes.
A federal appeals panel took hours to deny Kalshi and Coinbase protection from New York and Connecticut while their appeals run. The order gives no reasons and decides only interim relief, although two judges voiced doubts about the swaps theory in court.
A Chicago federal judge has barred Illinois from licensing, taxing or prosecuting CFTC-regulated exchanges over sports event contracts, and the state appealed the same day. The tax question left open in October closed because Illinois agreed its levy reaches only licensees.
Three New Orleans bettors, two of them heavy parlay players, have asked a Louisiana court to treat the FanDuel and DraftKings apps as defective products. The petition also names the two casinos whose licences the apps operate under, a choice that may keep the case out of federal court.
Spain's gambling regulator used a cryptocurrency conference to restate that a prediction market offering gambling needs a Spanish licence. It gave no update on the case opened against Polymarket and Kalshi in May, which the ministry expected to take three to four months.
The Star Entertainment Group has accepted its A$260 million AUSTRAC penalty and says the instalments will not threaten its survival, but the ruling has triggered a review event under its WhiteHawk loan. Its largest shareholder, Bally's, says the decision does not render it insolvent.
Polymarket US has become the fourth prediction market to stand down on sports in Michigan, under a stipulation approved in the federal court that refused it an injunction in June. It is conceding a state where its appeal sits before the circuit that has already ruled against Kalshi, while it carries its fight to Ohio and Louisiana.
Utah's attorney general has charged Kalshi and co-founders Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara with felony gambling offences built on 12 sports wagers placed by an undercover agent. The criminal case arrives two days after the CFTC sued Utah to stop its civil action against the exchange.
The Netherlands Gambling Authority will take applications in January for the only licence to run pool betting on horse racing from July 2027. The winner gets a land-based monopoly and hands 10% of its gross gaming revenue on Dutch races to the sport.
Caesars Entertainment's net loss more than doubled in the third quarter as weaker Las Vegas business offset growth in its regional casinos and a better quarter for Caesars Digital. It published the numbers without a call or a word from management while it waits for regulators to clear its sale to Fertitta Entertainment.
The Illinois Gaming Board has approved proposed rules that would put an identity check in front of every video gaming terminal in the state and open the way to cashless player accounts. A comment period, legislative review and a central system still being built stand between the vote and the venues.
Kalshi has started listing contracts on industry-wide indices of card spending, point-of-sale sales and app downloads, all settled on figures from the data company Carbon Arc. The same vendor already settles Kalshi markets on sportsbook and casino advertising and on DraftKings and FanDuel downloads, and its numbers appear to sit outside the test the SEC used on 13 October to class Cboe's KPI options as securities.
Malta's gaming regulator and its consumer authority have agreed a formal framework for handling player complaints and sharing information where their remits overlap. The text is unpublished, and the release names no practice, term or advertising rule they will pursue together.
Boyd Gaming's group earnings barely moved in the third quarter, but its two Las Vegas segments lost $8 million of EBITDAR between them while its locals and regional casinos grew. Management says August was the weakest month.
