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 Federal Register publishes the CFTC's two swap rules on Monday: the exclusion for licensed sportsbooks and casinos is in force that day, and the proposal to define event contracts as swaps opens for comment until 18 November. The rule text says the first changes no one's legal rights, and the second is not yet law.
A casino applicant that studied the 10-hectare integrated resort plot at Colombo Port City has walked away during due diligence, officials told Sri Lanka's Parliament. Nobody has yet shown who stood behind it, and the casino rules any successor would need are still not in place.
A Camp Hill skill game vendor, whose subsidiary shares its name with a party to the case the Supreme Court decided in June, is cutting 81 jobs now that the machines are illegal. Its chief operating officer blames lawmakers, and Governor Josh Shapiro's push for "tax parity" with casinos.
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.
Twelve days before the Budget, Halesowen MP Alex Ballinger and 89 Labour colleagues have asked the Chancellor for a new, higher duty rate on the Category B machines in adult gaming centres, betting shops and casinos. The letter cites a 40% rate without asking for one, and the industry says any rise would close venues and "kill the British seaside".
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.
Louisiana's gaming regulator has pushed DraftKings' permit renewal to February while state police finish checking shareholders who hold 5% or more and the board examines reports about how the operator uses artificial intelligence. The chairman said the decision is not a finding of wrongdoing, but it is the first licensing decision in iGaming Times' coverage to turn on the AI reports.
States that legalised online sports betting saw more depression and anxiety prescriptions and outpatient diagnoses among the employer-insured, a JAMA Psychiatry paper finds. It is a population-level association, not proof of harm to bettors, and it adds a clinical strand to evidence that has so far been mostly financial.
The high-stakes professional alleges GGPoker's chief executive promised him a 5% stake and commissions in 2018, then cut his pay and blamed him for cheating on the site. The claims are untested, the CEO has moved to dismiss, and Kenney amended his complaint on the day his reply was due.
The public spending watchdog will test whether the licence Allwyn won was designed, awarded and overseen to maximise returns to good causes, and report in spring 2027. The latest quarter's payments to good causes were 22.2% below a year earlier.
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.

Google has added Connecticut to the US states where certified prediction markets may not advertise, the fifth exclusion since it opened the category in January, and has written a pointer to its prediction market rules into the main body of its gambling policy. Each of Google's notices has taken effect the day it was posted, and none gives a reason.
Underdog's exchange and brokerage arms filed a federal suit in Nashville on Tuesday against Tennessee's attorney general and the officials of its Sports Wagering Council, four days after a letter to "Mr. Levine". It is the seventh state Underdog has taken to court, and the first suit it has filed where a binding appeals ruling already rejects the argument it relies on.
The Dirección General de Juegos de Azar has used its first two resolutions to stop new betting shops opening and to give operators one month to own up to the ones they opened outside the rules. Declaring a shop buys no licence, and the list goes to the tax authority.
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.
Two weeks before the Budget, the Betting and Gaming Council has put a map and a workforce profile on the EY figures it first published in September: up to 16,000 jobs, almost 1,500 betting shops and 34 casinos. The modelling itself is still unpublished, and the official data test it only in part.
The Federal Trade Commission has begun an early-stage review of online sportsbooks such as FanDuel and DraftKings, The Washington Sun reported, citing three sources. Nothing is on the record yet: DraftKings says it has had no civil investigative demand and the agency declined to comment.
