Ireland's gambling regulator has now published 235 notices of intent to apply for a licence, and most of the recent ones come from racecourse and high-street bookmakers whose Revenue licences expire on 30 November. Its own register shows how far it still has to go: one in-person betting licence issued so far.
The first opening weekend without gambling brands on the front of Premier League shirts still carried 11,205 gambling messages across seven live matches, according to the University of Bristol's fourth annual count. Shirt-front logos all but vanished, sleeve and training kit branding rose 362.7% on the three-year average, and pitchside boards held steady or grew.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission has told every sportsbook, supplier, integrity monitor and testing laboratory it licenses to stop providing services "of any kind" to platforms offering sports event contracts in Ohio, or face reopened suitability investigations. With its cease-and-desist letters to the exchanges now challenged in court, Ohio is turning to the companies that keep them running.
India's listed casino operator has now provided ₹4.44 billion for historical GST, a fraction of the ₹168 billion first demanded in 2023, and this quarter's charge covers demands it says it has strong grounds to contest. Casino revenue fell 13.4% in a quarter without King Casino and the Sikkim property.
The disciplinary board gave every club official it found in breach the same sanction, the shortest the betting rule allows once its full discretionary discount is applied, and cleared two in three of those referred without published reasons. After referees and players, the boardroom phase of Turkish football's betting purge has drawn the lightest penalties of the three.
The Department for Communities' fourth annual gambling compendium shows turnover recovering on a revised series, betting office licences falling for a second year and the first count of machines under the new £500 prize limit. Its biggest number, a record £89 million in duty, is a modelled share of a UK tax.
The Senate has passed a bill that would make it an offence for anyone under 25 to gamble "by any method, electronic or otherwise", in a country that is about to license online gambling for the first time. The House still has to agree the Senate's amendments, and no start date has been set.
The regulator's quarterly breakdown by game shows that one product, the mass and premium-mass baccarat table, lost more revenue than Macau's casinos lost in total. VIP baccarat was flat and slots grew by almost a fifth, which is the only reason the quarter's fall stopped at 3.8%.
The league has used its commercial agreements, not a state rule, to strip out the bet types at the centre of the Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier cases before the 2026-27 season. Prediction markets, where it has no agreements, are untouched.
The Stockholm-listed affiliate blames generative search and falling rankings, and because more than 90% of its new customers come on cost-per-acquisition deals, the damage reached its accounts at once. Two months after finding no sign of impairment, it expects to write down €30 million to €35 million of intangible assets.
The former FanDuel shareholders suing KKR, Shamrock and FanDuel's old board over the 2018 Paddy Power Betfair merger have won a route into legal advice the defendants withheld as privileged. The order decides nothing about the merits, but it reaches the documents most likely to show how a $465.5 million valuation was set.
France's regulated gambling market barely grew in the first half, and only because online sports betting had a World Cup June. The regulator now says the full-year figure depends on whether a record 5.85 million active online accounts keep playing after the tournament, and on a lottery operator whose French revenue is shrinking.
Tax officers have recalculated three of the largest GST demands in Indian gaming on the deposit-based method the Supreme Court set out in May, cutting the principal sought by about three-quarters. What remains falls on companies that no longer run the games that generated it.
MGM Resorts says the city of Springfield owes it about $500 million for sitting on the sale of MGM Springfield for two years. The city wants a judge, not an arbitrator, to decide whether it can keep saying no.
Malta-based Wildz Group says Finland's National Police Board has granted it a five-year gambling licence starting on 1 July 2027, the first award any operator has announced under the new regime. The board has not confirmed it, and a year ago it was weighing a marketing prohibition against the same group that would have ruled it out.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has cleared Cboe to list yes-or-no options that pay $1 on whether a company's reported figure, such as iPhone sales, clears a set level. They will trade as securities, not CFTC event contracts, with Robinhood lined up as the first broker, but there is no launch date until Cboe's clearing house is approved.
The Stockholm-listed slots supplier says the Malta Gaming Authority has extended its licence to peer-to-peer games, the class that covers poker and betting exchanges, so it can supply prediction markets to operators. A European gambling regulator is licensing as gaming a product that Washington proposed six days ago to define as a swap.
England's white-ball mentor signed as a Dafabet brand ambassador this week and has told the England and Wales Cricket Board he will not promote betting while on duty, The Guardian reports. The precedent says the deal itself is allowed; the harder questions sit with the advertising rules and with Dafabet's own cricket sponsorships.
BetMGM's third quarter was its joint-best for adjusted EBITDA on the figures it has published since 2025, against a weak comparison a year earlier. It still expects 2026 to land at the bottom of guidance that has already been cut once, which needs a fourth quarter bigger than any it has reported.
Wyoming's Select Committee on Gaming has voted to back a draft bill that would make running an online sweepstakes casino, or knowingly supplying one with payments, geolocation or game content, a felony. Its definition of sweepstakes currency is wider than California's, but the bill still needs a sponsor the committee may not be able to supply itself.
