Dutch Legal Gambling Market Declines as Illegal Sector Expands

(AsiaGameHub) -   According to the Netherlands Gambling Authority's (KSA) spring report, the Dutch regulated gambling sector is experiencing a long-term decline in gross gaming revenue (GGR). Data from the second half of 2025 reveals that while the legal market remained stagnant compared to the first half of the year, the unlicensed segment saw continued expansion. Between July and December 2025, the number of licensed providers rose slightly from 30 to 31. The number of customers using authorized platforms fell to 810,000 from 850,000 in the previous half-year. Conversely, active accounts increased by approximately 100,000, indicating that gamblers are utilizing a wider variety of operators. The KSA attributes this trend to new regulatory measures, such as the deposit limits implemented in October 2024. Total GGR for the latter half of 2025 reached roughly €602 million, representing a minor increase of less than 1% over the first half. However, when accounting for inflation, this suggests a period of stagnation and decline caused by a smaller player base and weakened operator results. Figures from H2 Gambling Capital highlight that the broader European online gambling market expanded by 11% during 2024–2025, supporting the KSA's conclusion that local regulations are hindering growth in the Netherlands. This downward trajectory persists, with Dutch legal online gambling GGR falling from €697 million in Q2 2024 to an overall decrease of about 18% across 2024 and 2025. The KSA points to the regulatory restrictions introduced in October 2024 as a primary driver for this contraction, as previously reported. Simultaneously, the regulator observed an uptick in illegal gambling activity. During H2 2025, a higher number of participants engaged with unlicensed sites. Estimates indicate that between 20,000 and 30,000 individuals used illegal platforms exclusively—an increase from prior periods—while a smaller segment utilized both regulated and unregulated services. Currently, about 91% of gamblers stick solely to licensed operators, a decrease from the 94% recorded in the first half of the year. The financial data is more alarming, showing that only 49% of total betting volume remains within the legal market, down from 56%. The KSA suggests that the significant losses occurring in the black market, where player protections are non-existent, account for the disparity between user participation and revenue metrics.

Entain Confirms Full-Year 2026 Forecast Following Strong First Quarter Driven by UK Online Growth

(AsiaGameHub) -   Entain has restated its guidance for FY2026 following a Q1 trading update that showed consistent growth, bolstered by robust online results in major markets. For the three months ending March 31, 2026, Group net gaming revenue (NGR) increased by 3%, meeting expectations and fueled by an 8% rise in volume. Online NGR saw a 5% increase, with iGaming climbing 9%, which countered a marginal 1% dip in sports betting attributed to weaker margins. The UK and Ireland stood out in the results, achieving a 13% rise in online revenue as Entain captured additional market share. Australia also saw a 13% increase, with both regions surpassing forecasts. Overall, Entain's core markets experienced a 10% year-over-year increase in online volume. Following these results, Entain maintained its guidance for 5%–7% online NGR growth for the year and affirmed it is on schedule to deliver roughly £1.13 billion in EBITDA for FY26. Additionally, the company restated its long-term objective of achieving at least £500 million in annual EBITDA by 2028. Entain CEO Stella David said: We began 2026 with robust momentum that persisted into Q1, marked by significant volume growth across our diversified portfolio. This underscores our continued strategic execution and operational strengthening, while also showcasing the inherent growth within our globally scaled business. Our resilient and strong operation has started the year positively, and we are maintaining this momentum. Through our sharpened focus and optimization efforts, we are more convinced than ever of our ability to deliver sustainable growth and enhance cash generation. Entain is well-placed to succeed as a long-term industry leader, capitalizing on future opportunities, and I have full confidence in what lies ahead. On a regional basis, UK & Ireland NGR grew by 6%, as online revenue gains balanced out slight decreases in retail revenue. International revenue increased by 1%, driven by sustained online expansion, even though sports results in Italy and Brazil were disappointing. Conversely, Central & Eastern Europe saw a 6% decline, largely due to falling retail revenue. In other developments, Entain's joint venture with BetMGM recorded Q1 revenue of $696 million, a 6% rise from the prior year, supported by 9% iGaming growth and 4% growth in online sports. Adjusted EBITDA also turned positive, although the total revenue forecast has been trimmed slightly; nonetheless, EBITDA margins are expected to hold steady.

Former NBA player Damon Jones is expected to plead guilty to gambling charges

(AsiaGameHub) -   Multiple media outlets report that ex-NBA player and coach Damon Jones is set to plead guilty in two prominent US federal cases concerning illegal gambling. Court documents indicate that Mr. Jones, who had initially pleaded not guilty, is scheduled to officially submit a guilty plea during a Brooklyn magistrates' hearing on April 28. Jones is among more than 30 defendants facing charges for fraud and poker game manipulation across various sports gambling indictments. Prosecutors allege that the defendant played a major part in defrauding and manipulating private betting events by exploiting illicitly acquired, non-public details. In this instance, Mr. Jones is accused of supplying bettors with illegal, confidential NBA data concerning specific games. Authorities highlighted a specific match on February 9, 2023, between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. It is alleged that Mr. Jones informed an associate before the game and advised betting heavily on the Bucks before the public announcement that LeBron James would sit out due to injury. The Lakers ended up losing that game. Further accusations suggest Jones also shared details regarding Anthony Davis's anticipated participation in a different match. Reportedly, a substantial bet was placed on this false information. Authorities claim these information trades are part of a broader scheme to profit from insider knowledge, raising concerns about the integrity of professional basketball and team data security. Organized crime ties to rigged poker games. Beyond the sports betting accusations, Jones faces allegations of participating in an elaborate poker fraud operation. Prosecutors state that Jones served as a "face card," utilizing his fame to lure wealthy players into exclusive, rigged poker games. These fraudulent games were reportedly orchestrated by organized crime groups using advanced rigging techniques. Indictments describe the use of hidden cameras in chip trays and tampered shuffling machines designed to identify specific cards. Unaware that the game was fixed, the invited participants were set up to lose by Jones's associates who coordinated their gameplay. Jones allegedly participated in these events and received compensation for recruiting players. This article is provided by a third-party.

ACMA Issues Warning to Chasebet for Self-Exclusion Violations, Blocks 19 Illegal Sites

(AsiaGameHub) -   Harris Bookmaking, conducting business as Chasebet, has received a formal warning from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regarding failures to comply with gambling self-exclusion requirements. The regulator determined that Chasebet failed to “adequately promote” BetStop, Australia’s National Self-Exclusion Register, within its communications. An investigation uncovered that the operator omitted necessary references to BetStop in three marketing emails and did not give the tool sufficient prominence on its website. According to Australian regulations, licensed operators are required to promote BetStop and incorporate links into all promotional messages and digital platforms. Consequently, the ACMA concluded that Chasebet had violated its licence conditions. However, the regulator observed that the operator acted “promptly” to rectify the situation upon notification, blaming the oversight on a software consolidation error. The ACMA cautioned that any future breaches could result in escalated enforcement measures. In a separate action, the ACMA instructed internet service providers to block 19 illegal gambling and affiliate websites that were found to be in violation of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The blocked list includes platforms such as Bass Bet, BetWhale, CasinOK, Cleobetra, Diva Spin, FatPirate, Free Spinz, Gransino, and JackBit, among others. Since the start of its site-blocking initiative in 2019, the ACMA has blocked approximately 1,640 illegal gambling and affiliate websites. Additionally, more than 230 operators have left the Australian market since the enforcement of stricter rules began in 2017. The regulator stated: ACMA is reminding consumers that even if a service appears legitimate, it is unlikely to possess key customer protections. This implies that Australians using illegal gambling services are putting their money at risk. This article is provided by a third-party.

84% of Polymarket Traders Lose Money

(AsiaGameHub) -   Recent research indicates that the overwhelming majority of Polymarket users are unprofitable. Blockchain analyst Andrey Sergeenkov reports that 84.1% of traders are currently operating at a loss. The study examined approximately 2.5 million wallet addresses by leveraging Polygon blockchain data through Dune Analytics. It discovered that merely 2% of users have ever generated more than $1,000 on the platform, and only 0.033%—about 840 wallets—have earned in excess of $100,000. The research challenges the idea that consumers can secure a steady income via prediction markets. The likelihood of any user consistently making $5,000 per month is less than 1%. Of the top earners—6,600 users with an average monthly profit of $5,000 or higher—only 2.6% stayed active for over a year. Per the report, many users execute trades right before exiting the platform, which leads to a decline in their average profitability over time. A separate 2025 analysis of 124 million trades found that roughly 70% are not profitable. This research came out as Polymarket keeps expanding, as shown by its recent collaboration with Major League Baseball and its standing among the world’s largest prediction market platforms. Token Terminal data reveals that $9.8 billion in trades were conducted on Polymarket over a 30-day span—making it the second most-traded prediction market after Kalshi. Polymarket has also rolled out multiple new features, including some with referral programs to draw in users, and Sergeenkov cautioned about possible losses for average retail traders, partly due to insufficient user education. The broader prediction market industry has seen rapid, explosive growth, with trading volumes rising sharply between 2024 and 2025. This expansion has attracted greater regulatory scrutiny than ever before, particularly in the U.S., where various agencies are exploring how to classify and oversee these markets. Polymarket has also launched a new in-house stablecoin, Polymarket USD, as part of a larger infrastructure update. Although its crowd-sourced forecasting model is frequently lauded for its accuracy, the data underscores a striking gap between market predictions and the results individual traders achieve.

The Gibraltar regulator labels the criticism of Predictstreet’s licence as “sensationalist” and dismisses it

(AsiaGameHub) -   Gibraltar's gambling regulator has responded to increasing criticism regarding the swift licensing of ADI Predictstreet, maintaining that the procedure was correctly managed and comprehensively assessed. Gambling Commissioner Andrew Lyman verified that he endorsed the approval prior to the public announcement of the company's FIFA partnership, with Minister Nigel Feetham providing the final authorization after due diligence. Both officials dismissed the negative reaction, labeling the reporting as "sensationalist." The timing of the licence grant has been a specific focus, given that it was issued just one day before Predictstreet publicized its FIFA collaboration. Although Feetham characterized the decision as a chance to stimulate Gibraltar's economy, detractors have challenged both the rapidity of the process and the histories of people associated with the firm. Scrutiny has been heightened by recent media accounts. The Norwegian publication Josimar referred to Predictstreet's executives as a "cast of controversial characters," noting that licensing in places such as Malta or the Isle of Man often requires several months. The report also mentioned appointments of individuals with prior regulatory or legal connections, voicing unease even in the absence of formal misconduct rulings against them. Lyman upheld the regulator's judgement, emphasizing that the licence was issued after a complete due diligence review and his official advice. He acknowledged the schedule was fast-tracked because of the approaching FIFA World Cup but asserted that this did not equate to compromised standards. “Speed does not mean lack of scrutiny,” he stated, clarifying that the application received “focused scrutiny” from start to finish. He further clarified that the licence was first approved under Gibraltar's 2005 regulatory system before being moved to the modernized 2025 framework. In countering the criticism, Lyman contended that the unfavorable press is motivated by a desire for dramatic headlines over factual depth, reaffirming that regulatory choices need to find a balance between fostering opportunity and maintaining oversight. Gambling Commissioner Andrew Lyman, said: We cannot generate the economy by being overly risk averse and spending months reflecting on business models that are the future. Being too risk averse means business looks elsewhere and doesn’t comeback as the business model grows in another jurisdiction. Minister Feetham supported this position, affirming that while prediction markets are a contentious industry, Gibraltar needs to remain receptive to innovation to stay competitive.

bet365 Halts Credit Card Deposits in U.S. Due to Regulatory Concerns

(AsiaGameHub) -   bet365 has ceased allowing credit card deposits in the U.S., mirroring a broader industry trend as regulators impose stricter consumer protection rules for sports betting. Per the operator, consumers will no longer be permitted to use credit cards to fund their accounts, though alternative payment methods (debit cards and Apple Pay) remain available as long as they are not linked to any credit line. Against the backdrop of growing focus on gambling-related financial risks, bet365’s decision aligns with actions taken by other major industry players—DraftKings and FanDuel—who already have similar restrictions in place. Many gamblers are frustrated by the excessive charges and interest fees credit card companies apply to gambling-related transactions. Across the U.S., numerous states are either considering an outright ban on consumers using credit cards for gambling or taking a wait-and-see approach (“waiting for the dust to settle”). In a February letter to operators, Elizabeth Warren expressed her displeasure with these practices, calling the exorbitant fees from credit card companies on gambling transactions “abusive” and stating that many such transactions are designed to—and ultimately do—take money from American citizens. While bet365’s decision may help strengthen its market position (as many operators target Massachusetts, where credit card deposits are currently illegal), the company was initially barred from re-entering the Massachusetts market following the state’s 2023 legalization of sports wagering. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has since reopened its licensing process in response to bet365’s request, potentially paving the way for its entry. Commission Chair Jordan Maynard welcomed the renewed interest, stating: That does hearten me, that people still want to enter the legal market in Massachusetts… So I have to say I respect that. Operators like FanDuel have also highlighted the benefits of aligning payment rules across states, noting that consistent policies can reduce friction for users moving between jurisdictions.

SPRIBE Gets Interim Injunction Against Betnacional in Brazil Over Aviator Game Rights

(AsiaGameHub) -   SPRIBE has obtained an interim injunction in Brazil in a legal dispute with Betnacional concerning the rights to its Aviator game, creating an early benchmark for intellectual property protection within the nation's newly regulated iGaming sector. The Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) issued the order against NSX Brasil S.A., which operates Betnacional, mandating the immediate cessation of using the “AVIATOR” trademark and any comparable visual or audiovisual components associated with SPRIBE’s product. The decision imposes daily penalties for any failure to comply and will stay in effect pending further court rulings or a final judgment. The court cited SPRIBE’s trademark registration with Brazil's INPI as the foundation for its exclusive rights. The dispute between Betnacional and SPRIBE began when Betnacional launched an Aviator game in 2025 through a new supplier, after having a partnership with SPRIBE since 2022. SPRIBE alleges that this new game is a "close copy" of its original 2018 crash game and constitutes an infringement of its intellectual property. Betnacional, powered by Flutter Entertainment and functioning as a subsidiary of NSX Brasil, is one of the major operators in Brazil's regulated gaming market. The operator continues to report robust performance with crash-style games. This lawsuit is being watched closely across the gaming industry and highlights growing tensions over exclusivity agreements between operators and suppliers, alongside ownership disputes concerning game content. The case demonstrates to both game developers and operators the importance of incorporating strong IP protections into supplier contracts and shows that IP enforcement for developers in emerging markets such as Brazil is growing more effective. The injunction awarded to SPRIBE is a provisional measure until further legal proceedings occur, but the final outcome of the case could set a precedent for other similar disputes as Brazil's regulated gaming framework continues to evolve.

Tyga Joins 1win’s VIP Program as the Platform Merges Crypto and Entertainment

(AsiaGameHub) -   1win is further developing its VIP ecosystem by integrating global rapper Tyga into its exclusive community, a move that strengthens its identity as a crypto-first entertainment platform. This announcement comes after days of online speculation, which began when the artist was seen boarding a private jet with 1win branding and later posting content that featured the company. The news was officially confirmed through the 1win Owner's channels on X and Telegram. Sources familiar with the event report that Tyga was greeted with a comprehensive luxury experience from 1win. This involved a flight on a private jet and an authentic VIP present—a classic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 14700BA timepiece. This treatment exemplifies 1win's characteristic method for engaging its most valued clients: bespoke, highly exclusive, and luxurious activities. Tyga's involvement underscores 1win's strategy of merging its offerings with culture, directly incorporating prominent personalities into its ecosystem instead of using conventional sponsorship deals. This same principle is evident in 1win's wider approach to reimagining VIP interaction. The firm previously garnered attention for arranging private jet evacuations for its elite users amid travel chaos in the Middle East. The brand also consistently rewards its VIP members with remarkable presents and experiences, including high-end vehicles and private access to major sporting and cultural events. Although more specifics are not yet public, this action indicates the ongoing growth of 1win's crypto-focused VIP plan and its increasing clout in the iGaming and Web3 sectors. 1win functions as a crypto-first platform built for a rapid and smooth user experience. It provides a diverse selection of digital assets and fast transactions, supporting cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, TRX, TON, and SOL, and offers special perks for crypto users, including deposit bonuses that can reach up to 600%.

GR8 Tech Prepares Casino Platform for Increased Traffic During World Cup

(AsiaGameHub) -   While World Cup traffic often begins in the sportsbook, operators who maximize their gains from the tournament understand its impact extends beyond sports betting. The casino remains a highly profitable product within any betting ecosystem and can be a crucial element for monetization and player retention during a major global football event. GR8 Tech is proactively preparing its casino vertical by enhancing bonuses, tournaments, content delivery, and provider integrations to assist operators in transforming event-driven traffic into sustained casino revenue. “A World Cup can generate significant new traffic, but that traffic is only valuable if players are given compelling reasons to remain engaged,” stated Lusine Khudaverdyan, Head of Casino at GR8 Tech. “For the casino, this translates to more adaptable bonuses, captivating tournaments, robust content offerings, and provider features that empower operators to convert initial interest into repeat engagement.” Bonuses and Tournaments Optimized for Casino Engagement GR8 Tech is refining its bonus and tournament mechanics to provide operators with enhanced strategies for activating casino players during the World Cup. Regarding bonuses, the introduction of product-level wagering allows operators to precisely target promotions across slots, live casino, instant games, or any combination thereof. This facilitates the creation of tailored campaigns for specific casino verticals, moving away from generic, site-wide offers. For tournaments, operators can now utilize the same game across multiple concurrent tournaments and permit players to participate in several simultaneously. This expands the possibilities for running segment-specific campaigns without diluting the impact of top-performing casino content. Content Coverage to Maintain a Competitive Casino Lobby GR8 Tech collaborates with over 200 casino providers and continues to invest in its infrastructure to help operators maintain broad and competitive content coverage across various markets. The significance of this effort lies in its speed. New content delivery solutions tailored for specific providers can be implemented in approximately one to two weeks. In practical terms, this offers operators a more rapid pathway to expand or stabilize content availability when timing is critical. When a major tournament drives increased user traffic to a platform, a comprehensive and up-to-date casino lobby is an integral part of the conversion strategy. Furthermore, GR8 Tech is expanding its integration pipeline, adding approximately a dozen new integrations each quarter. This roadmap ensures the casino offering aligns with emerging player demands, including instant and mini-game formats that are proving particularly relevant for crypto-focused brands and younger demographics. Bridging the Feature Gap to Enhance GGR Simply offering games is insufficient if the surrounding provider experience is not fully integrated. Beyond content access, GR8 Tech is also prioritizing feature completeness across its leading providers. The company's development roadmap focuses on integrating provider features that directly influence engagement, monetization, retention, and Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR). This involves reducing the disparity between what providers can offer and what operators can effectively implement on their platforms. For operators, this results in a casino product that is easier to market, simpler to optimize, and better positioned to capitalize on the surge in cross-product traffic generated by global tournaments. Transforming Event-Driven Traffic into Sustained Casino Growth The World Cup will undoubtedly bring a significant influx of traffic, but long-term value hinges on operators' ability to effectively convert player attention once they arrive. Through enhancements in bonuses, tournaments, content coverage, and provider features, GR8 Tech is equipping its casino vertical to assist operators in converting short-term excitement into enduring revenue. For operators aiming to bolster their casino offerings in anticipation of the tournament, now is the opportune moment to initiate discussions. GR8 Tech. Platform for Champions GR8 Tech is an award-winning provider that delivers high-performance sportsbook and iGaming solutions, enabling operators to lead and succeed in competitive markets. GR8 Tech's comprehensive portfolio includes the Crypto Turnkey and Hyper Turnkey solutions, ULTIM8 Sportsbook, Infinite Casino Aggregation, and its proprietary affiliate management platform, Aff.Tech.

Data.Bet Launches In-Stream Betting

(AsiaGameHub) -   Prominent sportsbook solution provider DATA.BET has debuted its new In-Stream Betting tool. This frontend functionality integrates directly into streaming platforms, allowing users to wager without exiting the live broadcast. By keeping markets, odds, and the bet slip within the video player, the feature ensures viewers remain fully immersed in the action. With mobile devices driving the majority of betting activity, In-Stream Betting was developed to optimize the experience for these users. The interface is highly flexible, offering an on-demand overlay that players can toggle at their convenience during any stream. This tool tackles a major hurdle in live wagering: keeping the player engaged. By removing the requirement to switch screens, operators can see improved user interaction, better retention rates, extended session times, and increased lifetime value. These factors contribute to higher betting volume and revenue with minimal technical effort required from the operator. A standout benefit of this feature is its straightforward integration process. Because In-Stream Betting operates at the frontend level, no backend changes are necessary. This lowers the entry barrier, enabling operators to deploy the overlay quickly as an effective engagement solution. The feature is currently available to clients upon request. Initially launching for virtual sports, the feature is set to expand into other categories shortly. When utilized alongside DATA.BET’s proprietary virtual content, it provides a smooth betting experience characterized by the minimal latency found in these broadcasts.
