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 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.
A survey of 5,000 French 15 to 17-year-olds funded by the Autorité Nationale des Jeux finds that teenagers who play both gambling-style video games and real-money games score far worse on problem gambling than those who only gamble. It shows an association and a sequence, not a cause, and its authors say so.
Spain's consumer affairs ministry has switched on a regulator-run system that will add up each player's deposits across all licensed online operators and stop them at €700 a day, €1,750 a week and €3,300 over four weeks, plus a portal that shows players their whole market footprint. The limit binds from March 2027, and players can lift it themselves after three working days.
SkyCity Entertainment Group will give interested parties due diligence information on the entire business, though its chair told shareholders that no new or improved proposal has arrived since the two it rejected. The same morning its chief executive said it bid for two online casino licences rather than three to stay within its return targets.
The Curaçao Gaming Authority has set out its fullest account yet of the breach of its licensing portal, blaming a German researcher and weighing civil action. The same document dates the unlawful access from December 2025 to September 2026, and says nothing about what was taken or who has been told.
Police in South Chungcheong say they have dismantled the top of a pyramid that bought live casino feeds and game credits from overseas game companies, built sites in minutes and leased them to operators from offices in Vietnam and Cambodia. The companies, described as operating legally abroad, are not named.
A New Taipei court order sought by the Criminal Investigation Bureau has taken both platforms' websites offline in Taiwan ahead of the 28 November local elections. Kalshi says it does not allow trading there, but its own market data shows open contracts on Taipei's, New Taipei's and Kaohsiung's mayoral races.
The Comoros government says the licences sold in Anjouan's name have no legal basis, that British citizens have been identified, and that it has asked the UK for help. The Guardian links the licensing service to a London company, which denies selling gaming licences.
Kambi has signed the UK and Irish bookmaker to its full outsourced sportsbook at a time when partner migrations are shrinking its European business. The value, the term and the launch date are not disclosed, and QuinnBet's last platform move ended in a Gambling Commission finding.
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.
Congress's record shows 99 amendments to Provisional Measure 1.394 when filing closed on 13 October, 94 of them still live. The most ambitious would not soften the ban but replace it, reviving the extinguished licences under a stricter rulebook, and the committee that must weigh them has no chair or rapporteur nine days before the licences lapse.
Macau's Prosecutor General says the offence created in 2024 to drive money changers from the casinos is hard to prove, because police often catch a suspect on what can be shown only as a first exchange. He wants objective criteria or a legal presumption, a fix that would make convictions easier and the defence harder.
Oklahoma's ban on dual-currency sweepstakes casinos takes effect in a fortnight, after lawmakers overrode Governor Kevin Stitt's veto with no votes to spare in the House. The fine is small; the felony reaches suppliers and media affiliates as well as operators, and tribal gaming is carved out.
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".
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.
Alberta's window for grey-market operators to move into the regulated market closed on 13 October, and published counts of who made it range from 29 to 51. The regulator registers companies, the Crown corporation approves sites, and the two official lists do not match.
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.
