Citigroup expects MOP20.5 billion for the month even though the first six days ran 10% below August's daily rate. Last week CLSA put September growth at 0.3% against a 9.5% consensus. Both are reading the same shoulder month, and the gap between them is the widest of the year.
Told by regulators in Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania that it could not offer both, Underdog has chosen its CFTC-registered event contracts over the draft games that built the company. Drafts close in those states on Wednesday evening, after the NFL season kicks off.
Gambling duties and casino tax brought the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore S$3.6 billion in the year to March, growing faster than corporate income tax or stamp duty. The report does not separate the casino take from the duties, which limits what can be read into it about Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa.
HB 5811 would strike the exchange wager tax Illinois enacted in its budget less than three months ago, along with the definition that brought prediction markets inside the Sports Wagering Act. The tax is already being challenged in court by Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the bill would not end that fight.
The government's submission to Congress projects R$41.9 billion from the new Selective Tax. Divide the betting share by the estimated base and you get about 15%, though the Finance Ministry has set no rate and the honest range is wider.
Housekeepers, slot attendants, waitstaff and drivers left at 7am after their contract with Wynn Resorts expired. The unions say the company wants health care costs taken out of the wage increase.
BLIK now checks every transaction against the Finance Ministry's register of illegal gambling domains and declines the matches. Brazil is doing the same job by loading obligations onto banks and fintechs instead. Both are admissions that domain blocking stopped working.
The temporary order we reported in July carried $120,000 a day. The preliminary injunction that replaced it on 1 September carries more than four times that, and tells Kalshi which geolocation vendor category it must use.
Five days after the Ninth Circuit split from the Third, New Jersey has filed for certiorari, one day before its deadline. The question is whether a federal commodities registration lets a company offer sports betting in every state while following the gambling law of none.
A binding merger agreement signed in Rome and Barcelona creates the second-largest listed gaming and sports betting operator in the world, on about €2 billion of pro forma EBITDA. Cirsa is valued at roughly 6x.
A federal appeals court has rejected the argument on which the entire prediction market industry rests, holding that a sporting result is not the kind of event the Commodity Exchange Act was written to cover. It is the clearest defeat Kalshi has suffered, and it points directly at the Supreme Court.
The revised forms went live on Wednesday. One application per country, no account holding both a gambling and a social casino certification, and affiliates must certify that every outbound link goes to a licensee.
Two filings lodged with the CFTC on Tuesday turn individual NFL player availability into federally listed event contracts, trading from Thursday with no position limits. The legal argument for why they comply is sealed.
The Dodgers, Red Sox, Braves, Padres and Giants are Kalshi partners, and had been for weeks before anyone said so. Three of the five are in California, where no state lawsuit has been filed and the lobbying has already started.
UOKiK is examining seven bookmakers for interface design that manipulates behaviour, with a tool built specifically to spot it. Five of them face separate proceedings where the exposure is 10% of annual turnover.
Abu Dhabi, Bhutan and Malta's financial regulators are observing a post-quantum custody pilot using the NIST signature standard finalised two years ago. The reason to care is not the cryptography. It is which regulators turned up.
The White House has set a hard deadline, Trump has called the bill very powerful, and prediction markets have cut its odds from 82% to about 25%. Republicans hold 53 seats and cloture needs 60.
The Bank of Russia has widened who counts as a qualified investor days before the regulated market opens, adding a route through domestic exam certificates. Everyone else gets Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and a ceiling of about $3,800 a year.
Parliament cleared the package on 19 August. Wagering ads disappear from live sport, from stadiums and from players' shirts, athletes and influencers can no longer promote betting, and a single national register will let Australians switch the advertising off everywhere at once. It commences on 1 January 2027.
Finanstilsynet has ordered the Copenhagen payments firm to stop taking on new online gaming business customers until it can document that serious money-laundering control failures have ceased. Inpay says its board had already paused that onboarding three weeks before the ruling landed.
