(AsiaGameHub) - The 'Enough is Enough' movement in India has formally protested the casino vessels on Goa's Mandovi River. The activist organization inaugurated a permanent base in Panaji, Goa's capital, on Tuesday. Residents of Goa have for years objected to the floating casinos, alleging they harm the environment, cause river traffic jams, and negatively impact fishing communities. Former Chief Justice Ferdino Rebello, now the movement's leading figure, further contends the boats breach India's Gambling Act. He has contested their continued operation in communications sent to Goa's Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant. “I intend to write once more, detailing the reasons these casinos are prohibited from operating there,” Rebello stated to the press in Panaji. “Should the government fail to act, the public may need to contemplate if a different administration should address the issue.” Retired Allahabad Chief Justice Ferdino Rebello is leading India's grassroots Enough is Enough movement, which campaigns against excessive development nationwide. The fight against casino boats forms one aspect of a wider environmental initiative across India. Rebello explained that Enough is Enough is bringing this campaign directly to communities and their talukas, the administrative bodies overseeing groups of villages. The group has prepared a resolution for local representatives, pressing them to combat overdevelopment and reject rushed applications for land conversion. As reported by the Navhind Times, the movement asserts that rampant construction not only harms the ecosystem. It also overburdens local utilities and threatens to change “Goa's identity, cultural heritage, and the Konkani language.” Goa home to 13 land-based, riverboat casinos While casino gambling is federally prohibited in India, it is allowed in certain states, such as Goa. Currently, Goa hosts 13 casinos, with seven located on land and six operating offshore on the Mandovi River. In March, Chief Minister Sawant declared a tripling of the licensing fee for new land-based casino ventures. He also clarified that the state government does not intend to issue new licenses for offshore casinos. “The count of offshore casinos is capped at six,” he stated. “The raised fee applies solely to applicants seeking to establish new onshore casinos within the state.” Over many years, Goa's authorities have repeatedly pledged to move the Mandovi casinos to alternative locations, yet these plans have not materialized. Per The Goan, the news of increased fees for land-based casino licenses comes at a time of local demonstrations against a proposed large casino boat with a 2,000-passenger capacity, which is said to be slated to take the place of a current, smaller vessel.

(AsiaGameHub) - Just hours after Shohei Ohtani guided Japan to a win against Australia in the World Baseball Classic, Matt Bowyer left the grounds of FCI Lompoc in California. Bowyer, who processed $325 million in sports bets for Ohtani’s former interpreter, entered the federal penitentiary last October, two weeks prior to the World Series. Coincidentally, Bowyer exited the prison facility just before Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers embarked on their quest for the franchise’s historic ‘three-peat’. His release on March 9 occurred before he had served half of his 12-month and one-day sentence. Remaining in federal custody, Bowyer is slated to spend the next few months at a halfway house in Orange County ahead of his full release in June. Recently, Bowyer met with iGB for a 90-minute interview, marking his first conversation with the media since leaving prison. He is permitted to leave during the day to work for a turf business owned by a former bookmaking associate. On weekends, he has already managed to visit his family several times. “Prison was far more difficult than I anticipated,” Bowyer stated to iGB. “I knew my time was coming in March, but I wasn’t sure of the exact date. When I had about a month remaining, I was overjoyed. My perspective on things has changed significantly now.” The daily routine Bowyer admitted guilt to three counts, including felonies for money laundering transactions and running an illegal bookmaking enterprise. Meanwhile, Ippei Mizuhara, Ohtani’s former interpreter, continues to serve a 57-month sentence for stealing millions from the MLB player to settle gambling debts with Bowyer’s outfit. Many inmates at Lompoc were aware of Bowyer’s narrative, with some having read his memoir, Recalibrate. However, Bowyer noted that he did not receive any special privileges. A standard day saw him waking up around 6 a.m., an hour before starting his duties as an orderly. His responsibilities included scrubbing a bathroom. Breakfast typically involved grits, oatmeal, or powdered milk. Daily, he spent 90 minutes cleaning toilets and mopping floors. In one incident, an inmate seized another prisoner and slammed his head onto the bathroom floor. Bowyer described the victim as being beaten to a “living pulp,” necessitating three mops to clean the spilled blood. He compared the scene in the bathroom to a “murder scene.” Before his incarceration, Bowyer mentioned to iGB his intention to exercise rigorously while inside. After lunch daily, he usually lifted weights and then walked eight miles on the track. He dedicated his afternoons to playing pickleball, ranking himself as the second-best player on the court. The prison currency Although many correctional facilities provide numerous classes, Bowyer noted that options were scarce at Lompoc. There was a Spanish class available for interested inmates. A specific item—a bag of carnitas (pork)—became a highly valued commodity within the prison. Bowyer observed that a $5 bag could be used for trading. Under his sentencing terms, Bowyer is prohibited from gambling for a minimum of three years. Despite this, he witnessed widespread sports betting inside. Inmates who had acted as bookies externally used tickets to manage these bets. The internal sportsbooks even accepted carnitas as payment. This betting mirrors the activity in “The Bullpen,” a casino operated by inmates in the early 20th century at the now-closed Nevada State Prison. It is notable that Kalshi was still in its early stages when Bowyer surrendered to authorities last fall. Since that time, prediction markets have thrived, with Kalshi’s valuation increasing twofold to $22 billion. Drawing on his past as a commodities broker, Bowyer is fascinated by this emerging asset class. Before accepting any advisory position with a prediction market, he intends to perform thorough due diligence to guarantee that such work does not breach his plea agreement. Future plans Before entering Lompoc, Bowyer released a memoir detailing the Mizuhara case and his broader bookmaking activities. In his plea, he also confessed to laundering millions via various Las Vegas Strip venues. This case has triggered comprehensive overhauls to Know-Your-Customer protocols along the famous strip. Currently, Bowyer is writing a second book covering the time following his sentencing and his incarceration experience. Although Bowyer was originally looking at an 18-year prison term, he secured his release in under a year. In October 2023, shortly after attending an NFL game in Texas, his Southern California home was raided by nearly nearly two dozen federal agents. This raid was likened to an FBI visit Justin Paperny faced during a white-collar crime probe. Paperny ultimately pleaded guilty to breaching fiduciary duty in connection with a scheme involving a hedge fund associate. Paperny’s time in federal custody motivated him to establish White Collar Advice, a firm helping defendants manage their reputations before and after sentencing. After being released, Bowyer’s first call was to Paperny. He expressed his gratitude to the consultant for helping him steer through the difficult ordeal. “Matt, I hope you maintain this sentiment forever,” Paperny wrote in a blog entry. “I have been back home for 17 years, and that feeling slowly fades—it disappears.” Bowyer still intends to eventually talk to professional athletes about the dangers of compulsive gambling. His immediate priority, however, is returning home. Above all, he wishes to make it clear to the public that he does not view himself as a victim. “The hardest part is behind me,” Bowyer remarked. “I can get on with my life, rebuild, and demonstrate to my family what I am capable of.” Matt RybaltowskiMatt mainly handles in-depth feature reporting on intricate sports betting controversies.

(AsiaGameHub) - Latvia has implemented a regulatory restructuring this week, merging the Lottery and Gambling Supervision Inspectorate (IAUI) into the State Revenue Service (SRS). This reform, effective from April 1, 2026, aims to simplify administrative procedures and enhance supervisory effectiveness. The Ministry of Finance stated that the reorganization is designed to reduce bureaucratic fragmentation. Its objective is to “streamline state administration resources and strengthen the supervisory capacity of the gambling and lottery industry, by integrating it into a unified tax and supervisory administration system.” The ministry highlighted that consolidating tax and oversight functions will improve the identification of both financial and legal risks. The Cabinet approved this measure in October 2025, along with related legislation included in Latvia’s 2026 budget. The IAUI’s supervisory and control responsibilities will be distributed between two new units within the SRS’ Non-Financial Sector Supervision Department. The SRS has incorporated 21 staff positions as part of this merger. A fast-tracked tax increase The regulatory restructuring occurred concurrently with tax increases that took effect on January 1, 2026. Tax rates for interactive gambling services have risen from 12% to 15% of GGR, betting taxes have increased from 15% to 18%, and bingo taxes have gone up from 10% to 12%. Furthermore, fixed annual charges for gaming machines and table games have been raised. The Ministry of Finance anticipates that these combined measures will generate an additional €9.2 million in revenue. This includes approximately €175,000 allocated to local governments. The Association of Licensed Gambling Operators in Latvia (LLAB) has expressed opposition to the tax increase, warning that it could lead to a decrease in tax revenue and the closure of over 20 gambling establishments nationwide.

(AsiaGameHub) - Drawing in World Cup traffic is straightforward. Converting that traffic into wagers and those wagers into loyal players hinges almost entirely on the sportsbook’s internal experience. GR8 Tech is revamping this experience—from the navigation level all the way through—for ULTIM8 Sportsbook, its premier sports betting platform. “The World Cup will generate significant revenue no matter what any individual operator does. The key question is how much of that revenue stays with the operator,” stated Dinos Doxiadis, Head of Sportsbook Business at GR8 Tech. “Operators who view this as just a traffic opportunity rather than a product-focused moment will notice the impact in their retention metrics three months down the line. A player who has a smooth experience locating and placing bets during the group stage is one you can potentially retain. That’s the goal we’re working toward.” A Sportsbook That Gets Out Of The Way The primary reason bets are lost isn’t unfavorable odds—it’s friction. Players who can’t locate their desired event or can’t transition quickly from finding it to placing a bet will abandon the process. GR8 Tech’s enhanced sportsbook design splits Live and Pre-Match experiences, adds dedicated Sport and Tournament Hubs, and provides multiple entry points that take players straight to the content they’re seeking. This reduces the gap between a player’s intent to bet and actually placing the bet—leading to higher conversion rates. GR8 Tech’s widget-driven structure—already a top operational flexibility feature of the platform—now fully integrates with the redesigned navigation, allowing operators full CMS control over layouts, campaigns, and highlighted markets without needing developer support. In a fast-paced tournament where priorities change daily, this agility is what makes the difference between a successful campaign and one that misses its window. Bet Builder Perfected For Football Bet Builder is already among the highest-margin products in any sportsbook. GR8 Tech’s expanded iteration adds Corners, Cards, and Player Props to its football lineup, increasing the range of options for each match and expanding the combinations players can create. More choices per bet slip translate to longer user sessions, increased activity, and higher margin per wager. Bet Booster: Promotions Built Into The Product Odds-focused promotions outperform bonus-based ones for a simple reason: they encourage action without directly eating into margins. Bet Booster enables operators to offer enhanced odds on chosen markets right within the sportsbook, no need for external campaign structures or bonus funds. It serves as both a customer acquisition tool and a reactivation trigger, and it’s built to integrate with the new navigation so offers appear at the optimal time and place for conversion. When combined with segmentation, it becomes a loyalty tool—providing high-value players with exclusive benefits not available everywhere. The synergy with the expanded Bet Builder amplifies this effect: the higher inherent margin of same-game multiples allows for noticeable odds boosts while still safeguarding GGR. Sharp Odds, Controlled Margin GR8 Tech is launching a dedicated Enhanced Prices market for football—distinct from the standard winner market, which includes promotional features like early payouts and accumulator bonuses. The standard market remains fully ready for promotions, while the Enhanced Prices market offers sharper odds without those extras. This lets operators compete on price for players who care about odds, without reducing margins across their entire sportsbook. It’s a structural fix to a common challenge faced by operators who offer both competitive odds and active promotions. Path to Championship Starts Now The upgrades are being rolled out in stages: some are already active, and the rest will be implemented before the tournament begins. For operators who haven’t yet launched a sportsbook or are considering switching platforms ahead of the year’s largest traffic period, ULTIM8 Sportsbook is a reliable revenue source with no associated operational burdens. Contact GR8 Tech to start discussing your options before the opportunity passes. GR8 Tech. Platform for Champions GR8 Tech is an award-winning provider of high-performance sportsbook and iGaming solutions that help operators lead and succeed in competitive markets. Its extensive portfolio includes Crypto Turnkey and Hyper Turnkey solutions, ULTIM8 Sportsbook, Infinite Casino Aggregation, and Aff.Tech—a proprietary affiliate management platform.

(AsiaGameHub) - BetConstruct AI, a prominent provider of igaming platforms specializing in sports betting technology and innovation, has unveiled its Retail Jackpot Engine for Sportsbook. This solution is specifically designed to enhance player engagement, increase customer traffic, and boost turnover within retail betshop networks. The introduction of this product comes at a critical juncture for the retail betting sector, as operators face increasing demands to offer experiences that extend beyond simple transactions. The Retail Jackpot Engine directly addresses this need by integrating a customizable jackpot system into the core of the retail sportsbook environment. Transforming Betshops into Engaging Destinations Fundamentally, the Retail Jackpot Engine is built to cultivate an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, encouraging players to visit more often, spend more time, and interact more deeply with the sportsbook's offerings. Complete Operator Control A key characteristic of the Retail Jackpot Engine is the extensive configurability it provides to operators. The scope of the jackpot can be managed across three levels: a single, unified pool for an entire partner network, separate pools for each betshop location, or custom groupings based on criteria such as city, district, or VIP status. Operators also maintain full authority over the conditions that trigger a jackpot payout. Two modes are available: amount-based triggers, which activate when the pool reaches a predetermined value, and time-based triggers, which release the jackpot after a specified duration. This adaptability enables operators to precisely align jackpot mechanics with their business objectives and player demographics. Omnichannel Visibility Across All Interaction Points BetConstruct AI has ensured that the jackpot is highly visible. Real-time jackpot amounts are displayed on all in-shop interfaces, including shop screens, cashier terminals, and self-service kiosks. In a novel approach, live jackpot figures are also printed directly onto betting tickets, transforming each receipt into a reminder of the engagement opportunity that customers take with them. A Strategic Asset for Retail Expansion The Retail Jackpot Engine is presented not as a temporary promotion, but as a foundational element for long-term strategic engagement. By encouraging repeat visits, extending dwell time in betshops, and increasing overall sportsbook turnover, the engine delivers a cumulative boost in excitement, thereby strengthening both the operator's financial performance and the player's connection to the brand.

(AsiaGameHub) - It’s time to unveil the first prize details for participants in the Golden Boomerang Awards—Boomerang Partners’ annual affiliate traffic tournament. The victor of the initial stage (dubbed Kickoff), running from April 3 to June 9, 2026, will gain access to the Wimbledon Championships (June 29 – July 12, 2026). The status of Wimbledon Wimbledon stands as one of the world’s most esteemed and longest-running tennis tournaments, part of the four Grand Slam events. Held annually in June and July in London on grass courts, it’s renowned for its rich traditions (including a strict all-white dress code for players) and unique atmosphere. Winning Wimbledon is considered one of the highest honors in professional tennis, making the tournament a benchmark of status and prestige. By participating in the 2026 Golden Boomerang Awards, affiliate teams get a rare chance to attend a world-class sporting event. However, it’s crucial to note that this prize is exclusively tied to the first stage of the Golden Boomerang Awards. Teams that miss the Kickoff will lose their Wimbledon opportunity permanently. Stage 2 will feature a different prize. Key sports events during the first stage The first stage of the 2026 Golden Boomerang Awards falls during a busy sports period. It includes the NHL and NBA playoffs, final matches of European football competitions, the conclusion of domestic league seasons, as well as the KHL playoffs and IIHF World Championship. Events like the World Team Table Tennis Championships and Roland Garros also take place during this time, giving affiliates a strong lineup of major events to leverage. How to participate All Golden Boomerang Awards participants who join before or during the first stage (April 3 – June 9, 2026) can compete for the Wimbledon trip. The earlier a team registers, the more points it can accumulate. To do this, they must drive traffic to brands in Boomerang Partners’ client portfolio. In the first stage, participants earn 2 points per Sport FTD and 1 point per Casino FTD. Bonus mechanics Boomerang Partners has prepared bonus mechanisms for Golden Boomerang Awards participants. These allow affiliate teams to significantly boost their leaderboard position—even catching up to or surpassing front-runners, even if they joined later: Last Minutes Winner: 3x points on all points earned during the final 7 days of the stage (June 3–9). Lucky Five: +5 points for hitting the weekly KPI of 10 Casino FTDs (valid throughout the first stage). Additionally, each participant can share tournament details on social media to earn 10 points (via the SHOW YOUR VOICE mechanic). Mystery Box Alongside the first stage’s main prize, Boomerang Partners will host a series of Mystery Box giveaways throughout the stage. Active affiliate teams will be eligible for these draws based on their tournament engagement, while inactive teams won’t qualify unless they increase their activity. This creates extra opportunities to win valuable rewards, even for non-leading teams. What’s inside the Mystery Box? That’s a secret—for now. Kristina Shkredova, Affiliate Team Lead at Boomerang Partners: “Wimbledon is instantly recognizable in our industry. It’s the kind of experience you can’t buy with performance bonuses or commissions, no matter how well you perform. For affiliate teams, it’s about accessing a whole new level of atmosphere where sport, tradition, and status meet. That’s exactly the reward we want to offer—something that reflects real achievement, not just dashboard numbers.

(AsiaGameHub) - SCCG Management, a global advisory firm focused on the gambling and sports entertainment sectors, has entered into a strategic partnership with IntualityAI to assist in the business development, commercialization, strategic distribution, and market expansion of its real-time prediction technology, with a particular emphasis on prediction markets and sports gaming applications. The partnership aims to introduce IntualityAI’s technology to operators, platforms, strategic partners, and other qualified counterparties within the prediction markets, sports betting, fantasy sports, skill-based gaming, and peer-versus-peer gaming sectors. IntualityAI has engineered a real-time prediction system designed to emulate human prediction and decision-making processes in fast-paced environments. Its technology analyzes live conditions as they develop, identifies significant shifts, and produces early alerts to facilitate better-timed decisions. Rather than depending primarily on static historical data, the system is constructed to interpret current events and project likely future outcomes. This functionality is particularly pertinent to prediction markets and sports-related forecasting, where timing, momentum, pressure, and situational dynamics can rapidly influence results. IntualityAI’s technology is built to detect these changes earlier, thereby supporting more timely decisions, robust forecasting logic, and actionable intelligence for dynamic, event-driven products. In addition to sports and prediction markets, the company’s system possesses wider applications in live assessment systems, healthcare alerting, investment management, website behavior forecasting, and remote predictive monitoring. This broad utility underscores the technology's flexibility, even as SCCG’s initial priority remains on sports-related commercialization and prediction-driven gaming opportunities. Via this partnership, SCCG Management will aid IntualityAI in refining its go-to-market strategy and identifying the most promising commercial opportunities for licensing, pilot programs, strategic alliances, and wider enterprise adoption. Initial endeavors will place substantial weight on prediction markets and adjacent sports-related forecasting products, while also pursuing prospects in sports betting, fantasy, skill-based gaming, and peer-versus-peer formats. Under the terms of the agreement, SCCG will spearhead strategic introductions to operators, distributors, strategic partners, investors, and other counterparties capable of generating revenue opportunities, partnership structures, capital relationships, or broader strategic value for IntualityAI. “Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly important part of the broader conversation around sports, forecasting, and interactive gaming, and we believe IntualityAI is well positioned to bring meaningful innovation into that space,” said Stephen A. Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “What makes this company compelling is its ability to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in real time. As prediction markets, sports betting, fantasy sports, and skill-based gaming continue to converge, we see growing demand for sharper insight, earlier signals, and more actionable intelligence. Our role is to help IntualityAI bring that capability to market through the right commercial strategy, the right partnerships, and the right introductions.” “Prediction markets and gaming increasingly reward those who can recognize change sooner and act before the outcome is obvious,” said Grant Renier, Founder and CEO of Intuality Inc. “IntualityAI was built to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in real time, and SCCG gives us the market access to apply that capability across prediction markets, sports-related products, and emerging gaming opportunities.” The partnership exemplifies SCCG’s ongoing commitment to assisting emerging and established technology firms in commercializing solutions that address the future of gaming. By linking new technologies with qualified operators, strategic partners, and enterprise decision-makers, SCCG continues to act as a bridge between innovation and scalable market adoption.

(AsiaGameHub) - The National Gambling Board (NGB) launched a brand-new online verification portal on Wednesday, which is designed to compile a full list of all gambling operators licensed in South Africa. This initiative is part of a wider campaign to curb illegal gambling activities and guide consumers toward authorized, properly regulated operators. Accessible via the NGB’s official website, this portal was developed in partnership with provincial licensing authorities (PLAs). It includes a searchable directory of every legally licensed land-based and online gambling operator across the country. This database will be regularly updated and made available to the general public, law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and financial institutions. Only gambling operators listed on this portal hold the legal authorization to offer gambling services in South Africa. A ‘critical step’ for safeguarding in South Africa Lungile Dukwana, the acting CEO of the NGB, highlighted the critical importance of this platform in protecting South African citizens from the risks tied to illegal gambling. “This platform represents a critical step forward in shielding South Africans from the dangers posed by illegal gambling,” Dukwana stated. He emphasized that the register offers a trusted resource for verifying licensed gambling operators, and allows consumers to participate in gambling activities within a safe, regulated environment. “It gives the public a reliable tool to confirm licensed gambling operators, ensures that anyone who chooses to gamble can do so in a secure, regulated space, and strengthens oversight and accountability across the gambling industry.” This verification tool also aims to improve oversight and accountability within the gambling sector. Taxes and wagering increases South Africa is Africa’s largest regulated gambling market, overseen by both provincial and national regulatory bodies. According to the NGB, 1.5 trillion South African rand (equivalent to $89 billion) was wagered across the country during the 2024/2025 financial year, marking a 31.3% increase from the prior financial year. However, the regulatory framework has struggled to keep pace with the growth of cross-border online gambling and offshore betting sites that target South African players without proper authorization. This strain has been underscored by a recent Gauteng High Court ruling, which reaffirmed that online casinos remain illegal under current national law. The ruling also highlighted inconsistencies in provincial enforcement and the widening gap between existing legislation and the realities of the digital marketplace. The country is currently considering a 20% tax on gross gaming revenue. This proposal has sparked controversy, with a spokesperson from the Free Market Foundation (FMF) telling iGB that “The likely result is that more users will be driven to offshore online casinos, which operate outside the existing regulatory regime and do not pay gambling taxes.” A crackdown on the unlicensed Illegal and offshore gambling continue to present significant challenges for South African regulators. The South African Bookmakers Association (SABA) recently reported that 62% of online gambling activity in South Africa comes from unlicensed operators. The NGB’s portal is designed to boost visibility and consumer awareness by encouraging people to verify an operator’s credentials before placing bets. “We are not encouraging gambling beyond recreational use, but rather promoting informed and responsible participation for those who choose to engage in it,” Dukwana explained. The board also emphasized consumer protection, noting that gambling through licensed operators guarantees access to dispute resolution mechanisms, ensures adherence to responsible gambling protocols, and complies with anti-money laundering requirements. The NGB has announced plans to collaborate with financial institutions to use this verification list, helping authorities prevent unlicensed operators from facilitating transactions through South African banks and payment providers.

(AsiaGameHub) - Swintt, the highly sought-after software provider recognized industry-wide for its engaging content and cutting-edge features, has today rolled out a new addition to its popular Premium portfolio: Jelly Hunter Quadspins, an action-packed slot game that gives players the chance to take home wins of up to 6,000 times their initial stake! Launched to align with the shift between seasons, Jelly Hunter Quadspins is designed to perfectly capture the cheerful, fresh atmosphere of spring. Set against the backdrop of a sun-dappled forest with a neatly spread picnic blanket, the game uses a vibrant cast of woodland creatures as its high-value symbols, while appetizing jelly desserts make up the rest of the pay table. Equipped with five reels and 10 fixed paylines, the slot marks the well-received return of Quadspins, an exciting gameplay mechanic first launched in the Lucky Fortune Door game series. It can be activated after any spin that earns a win of at least four times the player's bet, and Quadspins allow users to convert all or part of their winnings into a sequence of boosted spins that run across four separate reel sets. While Quadspins are active, a new mystery symbol also comes into play. Appearing as a cluster of bushes, every instance of this symbol that lands on the reels will open to reveal a random base game icon, which helps create additional payline wins. As long as players keep landing wins of at least four times their bet, they can choose to stay in the bonus round until they have played a maximum of 50 Quadspins. As another title in the SwinttPremium catalogue, any wins earned during either the base game or bonus rounds of Jelly Hunter Quadspins can also be wagered through an optional Risk feature. This feature requires players to correctly guess the colour of a hidden playing card to double their prize, and it will continue running until an incorrect guess is made or the maximum possible win is hit. Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “As the latest addition to our SwinttPremium collection, Jelly Hunter Quadspins combines simple, accessible gameplay with huge prize potential. Featuring the exciting Quadspins mechanic first popularized by our Lucky Fortune Door series, the game offers maximum wins of up to 6,000x stake, making it the perfect pick for all fans of classic slot games.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Mexico’s 50% GGR tax increase risks fueling growth in the black market, the nation’s top trade association has warned. Starting January 1 of this year, gambling operators in Mexico will face a heavier tax burden after the government approved a 50% GGR tax rate as part of the 2026 fiscal reform package. Miguel Ángel Ochoa Sánchez, president of the Mexican Association for Permit Holders, Operators and Suppliers of the Entertainment and Gambling Industry (AIEJA), told iGB in a recent interview that the tax hike came as a “blow” to the industry. He also warned that this tax increase aligns with a broader trend across the Latin American region, where higher rates ultimately hinder efforts to direct gamblers toward licensed, legal services. “I think the primary risk posed by the growing wave of industry tax hikes being adopted by many Latin American governments is that they will end up harming legitimate, licensed operators while benefiting the illicit market,” Ochoa told iGB. “Beyond harming businesses in the gambling sector, governments will actually collect less tax revenue by raising rates, which will drive a large number of players to unregulated platforms. These sites not only do not contribute to national public funds but also provide absolutely no consumer protection whatsoever,” Mexico market still an attractive one Even with his warnings about the tax increase, Ochoa still holds an optimistic view of Mexico’s gambling market. Mexico is a co-host of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and Ochoa believes this event will present a major opportunity for the country’s gambling industry. “The market continues to expand quickly, and the outlook remains extremely positive,” Ochoa added. “With the 2026 World Cup underway, industry projections point to a significant rise not just in the number of bettors but also in medium-term player retention rates.” “Therefore, I believe we should keep the impact of this tax hike on the online sector’s growth in proper perspective,” Per the latest data from H2 Gambling Capital, Mexico ranks as the 18th largest market for the firm, with a gross gaming win of $5.68 billion in 2024. Playtech also expressed confidence in Mexico’s market in its recent FY25 earnings report, noting that it anticipates growth in its Americas region driven by the World Cup. Playtech has a partnership with Mexico-focused operator Caliente, and during the company’s post-FY25 earnings call, CFO and director Chris McGinnis stated: “In Mexico, Caliente continues to perform strongly, and we expect to see a further uplift from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as Mexico is a co-host nation and all matches will be played in local time zones. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime event that will greatly boost visibility, user engagement and overall betting volumes.” Kyle GoldsmithKyle Goldsmith has been with Clarion since December 2023, joining after working in sports journalism, and has since gone on to serve as a senior LatAm-focused reporter for iGB.

(AsiaGameHub) - The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has announced a provisional allocation of £25.4 million to fund gambling-harm prevention and resilience programs for the two-year period spanning 2026 to 2028. This new funding follows the implementation of a statutory levy, which replaced the previous voluntary system in April of last year. Through this levy, 33 voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) groups across England will be granted funds to carry out research and preventative initiatives. So far, the levy has generated nearly £120 million in total funds. A statement from the DHSC indicated that the money is intended to maintain and broaden prevention efforts led by third-sector organizations. It also aims to strengthen their capacity for long-term project management. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), which is now responsible for managing the distribution of statutory levy funds, noted that these allocations were determined following a closed application window that took place in January and February 2026. The selection process followed rigorous eligibility and scoring standards and included comprehensive due-diligence assessments. OHID required all participating organizations to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and to commit to ending any direct financial support from the gambling industry, though social lotteries and the National Lottery are exempt from this rule. Furthermore, applicants were instructed to reassess any materials or methodologies they had previously used that were funded by organizations like GambleAware under the old voluntary levy system. GamCare included among funded charities The provisional list of recipients features a diverse array of organizations, ranging from major national gambling charities and educational trusts to community groups and local advice centers. Key provisional funding amounts include: GamCare: £4.04 million. Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM): £3.0 million. Betknowmore: £2.99 million. BetBlocker: £1.12 million. Various Citizens Advice branches and regional VCSE groups: receiving grants ranging from roughly £140,000 to £1.3 million. The largest provisional grant was awarded to GamCare. The charity, which operates the National Gambling Helpline, recently highlighted data showing that students who gamble are losing an average of £50 per week. The department stated that these grants are meant to encourage "equitable and innovative prevention strategies" while improving the ability of VCSE organizations to maintain sustainable initiatives. £12 million designated for upper-tier local authorities OHID pointed out that these figures are currently provisional and will be finalized through formal grant agreements. Consequently, the names of recipients and the specific amounts awarded may change. In addition to the £25.4 million fund, the department announced a separate distribution of £12 million from the statutory levy to support upper-tier local authorities during the 2026-27 financial year. These local authority funds are earmarked for community-level gambling-harm reduction and prevention efforts. Meanwhile, NHS England has overseen a separate VCSE grant specifically for treatment-related services. The requirement for successful applicants to stop accepting direct industry funding by April 2026 is intended to address independence concerns. Awards will be officially confirmed once organizations complete their final grant agreements. This article is provided by a third-party.
