New mobile app powered by AI targets sustainability in UK gambling market

(AsiaGameHub) -   Designed to enhance gamblers’ wellbeing through AI-powered behavioural science, GamScore is a newly developed mobile application targeting the UK gambling sector. The app is set to launch in the United Kingdom in October, offering British gamblers a tool focused on consumer welfare and industry sustainability. Created by Josh Apiafi, a former executive from Betfair and Rewards4Racing, alongside Phill Adams, founder of the licensed esports tote Punt, the platform aims to deliver real-time insights into betting behaviour. GamScore utilizes proprietary AI-driven behavioural science to detect early warning signs of risky gambling patterns and offers personalised educational prompts and guidance tailored to individual players. As stated in the official announcement, the application will provide continuous updates throughout the day, alerting users to potentially harmful activity through context-aware nudges and informative content. It also highlights risks associated with unregulated black-market operators and offshore platforms, seeking to raise player awareness about safer gambling practices. Future iterations of the app will enable users to track their compliance status across various licensed betting operators. This feature aims to ensure that regulatory documentation remains current and to reduce the likelihood that players turn to unlicensed venues. The developers assert that GamScore directly responds to the British Gambling Commission’s call for innovative technical solutions that can be embraced across the entire industry. They added: “GamScore supports the government’s objective of achieving a balance between safeguarding consumers and maintaining the long-term viability of the domestic betting and gaming markets.” Apiafi, who leads GamScore, explained that for online operators, the app presents a “more user-friendly, self-managed option compared to traditional, time-limited credit assessments.” The app’s release follows criticism within the sector regarding the Gambling Commission’s proposed financial risk assessment framework. While the regulator continues to address public misinformation about the initiative, it has confirmed that no final decision has been reached on whether the pilot programme will be expanded.

British Gambling Commission Hires Head of Illegal Markets

(AsiaGameHub) -   The new role will oversee the coordination of resources across Enforcement and Intelligence as the regulator intensifies its efforts to combat unlicensed gambling. UK.- The British Gambling Commission has announced a job posting for the newly established senior position of Head of Illegal Markets. This position will involve leading investigations and enforcement actions against unlicensed operators, which the regulator has identified as an escalating concern within the regulated industry. The appointed individual will be based within the Operations Directorate and will report directly to John Pierce, the regulator’s Director of Enforcement and Intelligence. Their responsibilities will include coordinating resources between Enforcement and Intelligence teams while working closely with the Illegal Markets team, Sports Betting Integrity Unit, and departments such as Legal, Policy, Strategy, and Communications. The job description emphasizes that the position is “essential” in supporting the Gambling Commission’s broader strategy to address illegal gambling and foster “a safer and more transparent gambling environment throughout Great Britain.” The regulator is seeking candidates with strong leadership backgrounds and proven experience in criminal investigations, particularly those proficient in investigative techniques, enforcement planning, and complex legal cooperation. The establishment of this new role follows the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s announcement in January regarding the formation of an illegal gambling task force, led by gambling minister Baroness Twycross. Speaking at the Bingo Association AGM yesterday (May 7), Gambling Commission acting chief executive Sarah Gardner welcomed the government’s allocation of £26 million in new funding over the next three years for related initiatives. She stated that this financial support would enable the regulator to confrontland-based illegal gambling “arguably for the first time in a serious way“. The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has cautioned that, based on H2 Gambling Capital research, the unlicensed gambling market reached a value of £16.6 billion in 2025, up from approximately £5 billion in 2019. Some stakeholders argue that the Gambling Commission has focused more heavily on tightening regulations for licensed operators rather than effectively curbing black market activity. Recent measures, including the increase in Remote Gaming Duty to 40 per cent, have further fueled frustration within the industry, which continues to face challenges such as financial risk checks and demands for additional advertising restrictions. Entain CEO Stella David recently urged the newly formed Independent Football Regulator to ban unlicensed gambling sponsorships in the Premier League. This article is provided by a third-party.

Flutter Entertainment to assess London Stock Exchange listing

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Dublin-headquartered gambling operator may completely remove Flutter shares from the London Stock Exchange. UK.- Flutter Entertainment is reevaluating its position on the London Stock Exchange, less than two years after relocating its primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange. The company, based in Dublin and operating under brands such as FanDuel, PokerStars, Paddy Power, and Sky Bet, has been publicly traded on the LSE since Betfair’s £1.4 billion initial public offering in 2010. In its first-quarter 2026 financial update, the firm announced that it is assessing the future of its shares listed on the London exchange, as the United States continues to represent a growing share of its business. It stated in a release: “We are conducting a review of our ordinary shares currently listed on the London Stock Exchange… The outcome of this review could lead to the delisting of Flutter’s ordinary shares from the LSE.” “The review is expected to conclude during the second quarter of 2026, and shareholders will be notified accordingly. The continued listing of Flutter ordinary shares on the NYSE will not be affected by any potential cancellation of the LSE listing.” In January 2024, Flutter removed its secondary listing from the Irish Stock Exchange (Euronext Dublin) and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Four months later, at the end of May 2024, the company shifted its main listing from the LSE to the NYSE—a move designed to more accurately reflect the growing significance of its FanDuel operations. Q1 results showed Flutter’s quarterly revenue rose 17 per cent year-on-year to $4.3 billion (€3.6 billion). The U.S. market contributed 41 per cent of total revenue, amounting to $1.76 billion, while UK operations are now facing heightened tax obligations due to the increase in Remote Gaming Duty effective April 2026. With U.S. investors increasingly dominating the shareholder base, a delisting from London may represent a logical next step. Six out of its nine largest investors are based in the United States; however, London-based Parvus Asset Management recently increased its holdings to 10.7 per cent. Kenneth Dart, a U.S.-born billionaire residing in the Cayman Islands, now holds over 25 per cent of the company, which is also nearing completion of a $250 million share buyback as part of a broader $5 billion repurchase initiative. During the last quarter, Flutter underwent several leadership changes: Amy Howe, former CEO of FanDuel, was succeeded by Christian Genetski, and Dan Taylor, head of Flutter International, assumed the newly established role of President of Flutter Entertainment. The LSE has seen several prominent companies depart in recent years, including fintech firm Wise, which moved its primary listing to the U.S., and travel group TUI, which relocated to Frankfurt.

Entain urges new football regulator to ban sponsorship by unlicensed gambling firms

(AsiaGameHub) -   The operator is urging the IFR to accelerate a proposed ban on partnerships with companies that lack Gambling Commission licenses. UK.- The FTSE-listed gambling firm Entain has renewed its call for action against the promotion of unlicensed gambling in English football. It has appealed to the newly formed Independent Football Regulator (IFR) to advocate for a prohibition on sponsorship agreements with unlicensed gambling operators. The British government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has already indicated its intention to introduce such a ban. In February, it announced plans to launch a consultation during spring, but this has not yet taken place, prompting Entain to pursue alternative channels to advance its position. CEO Stella David had previously urged Premier League chief Richard Masters to address the issue. Concerns over the visibility of unlicensed operators in English sports—particularly within the Premier League—have been raised across the political spectrum. While broader industry-wide matters typically fall under the remit of the lobby group Betting and Gaming Council, Entain is positioning itself as a prominent voice on this specific matter, having made combating the black market a central focus of its 2026 corporate strategy. The Premier League voluntarily committed to removing gambling branding from the front of team shirts starting from the upcoming season. However, under this voluntary pledge, gambling sponsorship remains allowed in other areas, such as on shirt sleeves. The DCMS has acknowledged that this approach still permits unlicensed operators to maintain a “significant presence in the nation’s most-watched sports league.” It stated in February that it would propose regulations restricting sponsorship exclusively to Gambling Commission-licensed entities, but Entain is pushing for quicker implementation ahead of the new season’s start in August. Stella David. Photo: Entain “Premier League clubs are being sponsored by criminal gambling organizations,” David told the IFR. “The Independent Football Regulator can end this immediately by simply recognizing that unlicensed gambling companies targeting UK consumers through English football are violating the law—plain and simple.” The IFR was established under the 2025 Football Governance Act. During the bill’s passage, there was an effort to include a comprehensive ban on all gambling sponsorships, but lawmakers ultimately concluded that such a restriction would require separate legislation. It remains uncertain whether the IFR will engage in the sponsorship debate at all; however, Entain highlights the regulator’s mandate to prevent clubs from accepting funds linked to criminal conduct. The company argues that unlicensed firms contravene the 2005 Gambling Act whenever UK customers place wagers with them. The firm, which owns Ladbrokes and Cora, has submitted four requests to the IFR. It seeks confirmation that income derived from unlicensed operators constitutes proceeds associated with serious misconduct, and calls for directors to verify the licensing status of gambling partners. Additionally, it is requesting the introduction of a new governance code requiring boards to treat reputational risks arising from commercial partnerships as a formal governance concern, along with general guidance regarding gambling-related sponsorships. “The regulator does not require any additional powers, new laws, or even a fresh rule to enact this change. In fact, one has already been drafted,” David remarked. “We are asking the regulator to clarify and enforce it before the next season commences. The IFR was created to correct longstanding governance failures in English football. This represents one such failure.” While Entain’s brands have refrained from front-of-shirt sponsorships, they do maintain other commercial ties—such as Ladbrokes’ partnership with Liverpool. Unlicensed operators continued to feature prominently throughout last season, including some that lost their UK licenses following TGP Europe’s closure. These firms sustain their arrangements by demonstrating that their websites are inaccessible to UK visitors. This article is provided by a third-party.

DraftKings posts 17% revenue rise in Q1

(AsiaGameHub) -   Revenue increased 17 per cent year-over-year. US.- DraftKings has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. For the three months ending March 31, the company recorded revenue of $1.65 billion, marking a 17 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. The growth was driven by stronger customer acquisition and engagement, along with an improved net revenue margin in the sportsbook segment. Monthly Unique Payers (MUPs) declined 4 per cent to 4.2 million, mainly due to the exit from the Texas lottery market in 2025. Without that impact, MUPs would have risen by 2 per cent. Average Revenue per MUP (ARPMUP) reached $131, up 2 per cent, largely attributed to higher sportsbook net revenue margins. Jason Robins, CEO and co-founder of DraftKings, stated: “We’ve started the year exceptionally well, with our Q1 performance surpassing expectations. Our core business remains robust, and we are now seeing clear signs of profitability improvement. This positions us strongly to capitalize on opportunities in Predictions. With our Super App, advanced market-making capabilities, proprietary exchange platform, and new combo features, we aim to secure a leading position in Sports Predictions by the end of the year.” Alan Ellingson, Chief Financial Officer of DraftKings, commented: “Our operations continue to scale efficiently as we grow revenues, enhance profitability, and pursue high-return investments. We maintain our fiscal year 2026 guidance, forecasting revenue between $6.5 billion and $6.9 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA of $700 million to $900 million.” DraftKings recently announced plans to launch its online sports betting and casino offerings in Alberta once regulated online gaming goes live in the province on July 13. Upon launch, Alberta will become the company’s second Canadian market after Ontario, expanding its presence to 34 jurisdictions across North America for online sports betting and its seventh jurisdiction for online casino.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup in figures: prizes and participants N1 Partners emphasized that team performance was assessed not only by traffic volume but also by how successfully they scaled and diversified traffic across multiple brands. Tournament highlights: 14 teams qualified for prize-winning levels. 54 teams with Participant status—not included in prize tiers—will be entered into an additional prize draw. Over 300 teams contributed SEO traffic during the competition. Prizes at different levels include attendance at major global sporting events—from Formula 1 in Monaco to the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in the USA; zero-gravity flights; all-inclusive dream vacations in the Maldives; BMW and Ducati motorcycles; Apple devices; Cartier jewelry; Rolex watches; and much more. Alexa Bond, head of affiliates at N1 Partners, stated: “The N1 Traffic Cups reflect our vision of promotion: transparent rules, focus on real results, and opportunities for partners to scale and earn more. This is not just a promotional event—it’s a motivation system for our partners.” “The N1 SEO Traffic Cup once again demonstrated the value of strong partnerships: high participant engagement, expertise, and outstanding results show that such events benefit both our partners and N1 Partners alike, fostering lasting interest, trust, and mutual collaboration.” Shortlist of winners Two months of intense competition, scaling efforts, and testing have narrowed the field to only the strongest teams advancing to the finals. Below are the teams that secured prize-level positions and emerged as winners of the N1 SEO Traffic Cup. Based on total points earned, participants were awarded one of four prize tiers, each offering rewards valued at €25,000, €15,000, €7,000, and €5,000 per team, determined by their final ranking. Winners of the N1 SEO Traffic Cup How the tournament unfolded, what drove the winners to push forward through the ranks, and the emotions experienced along the way—shared directly by the participants of the N1 SEO Traffic Cup. Alfaleads Network The Alfaleads Network team, winners of Level 3, commented: “Our success came from a combination of factors: we specialize in SEO traffic and maintain strong, reliable partnerships with both large and small SEO providers. Additionally, we appreciate that N1 products have solid conversion rates, making this a true win-win scenario for us.” “For our team, the standout prize at Level 3 is the Kronos massage chair. In our industry, it’s essential to take breaks and decompress, so this prize is especially meaningful. Plus, it will always be in demand in the office.” Advertise A representative from Advertise, a Level 4 winner, said: “Competitive offers, favorable terms, and a support team always ready to assist and resolve issues quickly are what truly inspire peak performance in N1 Partners promotions.” “We previously participated in the N1 Puzzle Promo last year and were excited to join the N1 SEO Traffic Cup this time. Back then, the top prize was a helicopter, along with various other rewards throughout the event. This year’s tiered structure with diverse prize categories is a smart innovation—it lets participants choose rewards aligned with their preferences.” “At our Level 4, the Apple glasses caught our attention, but the cash reward is actually the most practical option. We plan to use it to recognize the entire team that helped achieve this result.” RevenueLab The RevenueLab team, another Level 4 winner, added: “Our achievement largely stems from a deep understanding of the product paired with consistent traffic optimization work. When you know the strengths of the offers, it becomes much easier to identify suitable traffic sources and build effective linking strategies.” “We focused on analyzing web traffic more thoroughly, studying user behavior, evaluating source quality, and assessing result stability over time. Any promising bundles were rapidly scaled up, while underperforming ones were either refined or discontinued.” “Of course, close collaboration with N1 managers played a crucial role: timely feedback, openness to discussing hypotheses, and hands-on optimization support significantly accelerated our progress.” “Ultimately, it was this blend of product knowledge, analytical rigor, and active communication that led to our success.” “In our niche, the MacBook looks like the coolest prize, but every reward offered is unique. Separately, we want to highlight that N1 consistently delivers the best gifts and incentives!” Teams with Participant status who didn’t reach prize levels—scoring between 20 and 499 points—were entered into an extra prize draw featuring a PlayStation 5 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and exclusive N1 Partners merchandise.

Dutch gambling regulator sends Meta thousands of reports on illegal gambling ads In April, the Netherlands' gambling authority, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), submitted more than 4,600 reports to Meta concerning advertisements for unlicensed gambling operations. The regulator is targeting illicit operators who leverage the fame of Dutch sports figures and established brands to appear legitimate. There are additional worries about licensed gambling advertisements that violate age-targeting rules on Facebook and Instagram. Research points to the need for stricter controls, such as requiring ads to be pre-approved, and the Dutch government is evaluating a potential total prohibition on gambling advertising. The KSA is also engaging with businesses to safeguard their intellectual property and address unlawful operators on social media platforms. Gaming executives remain optimistic as industry growth continues; sports event contracts drive rising industry concern The most recent Gaming Industry Outlook from the American Gaming Association reveals a net positive sentiment of 21.4% among industry leaders, even though 81% view sports event contracts on prediction markets as a major hazard. Key metrics indicate a confident sector, with the Gaming Conditions Index rising 1.5% compared to the previous year. Leaders anticipate greater capital expenditure and rising revenues over the coming six to twelve months. Nonetheless, the threat posed by prediction market platforms offering contracts on sports events is an increasing worry. Executives also cited inflation, import taxes, and rivalry from emerging gaming formats as possible challenges. The AGA study, carried out by Oxford Economics, incorporates perspectives from 26 high-level gaming industry executives, offering a view into the sector's expansion and prospects. Focus Gaming News expands into the UAE at a defining moment for the industry Focus Gaming News, a leading gaming industry publication, has debuted a specialized website for the United Arab Emirates to report on the nation's growing gaming market. The establishment of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority in 2023 to oversee commercial gaming represents a key development. The new site, Focus Gaming News UAE, will offer extensive reporting on subjects including retail and digital gaming, sports wagering, regulatory affairs, and major industry gatherings. This move into the UAE is strategically timed, as the area is viewed as a lucrative market with significant growth prospects. By concentrating on providing expert commentary and evaluation, Focus Gaming News intends to be a primary resource for professionals operating within the dynamic gaming scene in the UAE and internationally. Ukrainian gambling regulator rolls out digital complaints platform Ukraine's gambling regulator, PlayCity, has unveiled a digital platform for citizens to report illicit gambling ads. Individuals can now report infractions across different channels and submit proof such as screen captures or videos. The platform stores all reports and is capable of evaluating temporary content. Upon verifying a breach, PlayCity can demand the content be taken down, impose fines on violators, or suspend social media profiles. The authority has previously levied fines and restricted pages hosting banned material. Created under Law No.9526d, this new mechanism seeks to uphold advertising regulations and block online gambling access for military members. PlayCity has also introduced an online portal for gambling license applications, streamlining procedures and minimizing paperwork. Isle of Man’s Gambling Legislation (Amendment) Bill advances for royal assent The Isle of Man's House of Keys has passed updated gambling laws, which introduce personnel vetting and financial penalties for non-compliance. The amendments are designed to bolster sector regulations, incorporating a "fitness and propriety" check for licensees and a system of civil fines for infractions. The Gambling Supervision Commission has initiated public feedback periods on the proposed standards and penalty framework. Treasury Minister Chris Thomas highlighted working with industry participants to enact the reforms. This regulatory tightening comes after the island's money laundering risk was graded as "medium high." The updated rules are slated to become operational this summer. British Gambling Commission laments “misconceptions running wild” over financial risk checks At the Ethical Gambling Forum, the Gambling Commission's Executive Director, Tim Miller, supported the regulator's work on financial risk assessments (FRAs). Miller stressed the value of these checks in spotting at-risk players, notwithstanding criticism from the industry. A pilot scheme indicated that just a minor fraction of active accounts would trigger an assessment, correcting false impressions about the scale of affordability checks. Miller confirmed that requests for documents after a financial risk alert would not be mandated. The Commission will shortly present proposals to its board, underlining the necessity for robust data and governmental backing for any modifications. Should they proceed, the Commission will work with the industry and other bodies to formulate a practical approach. The final verdict on financial risk checks rests with the Commission's Board.

SCCG Management’s Partner and Portfolio Company FanLabel Launches FanLabel SongPicks App, Bringing Skill-Based Music Contests to Fans Nationwide

(AsiaGameHub) -   FanLabel has also filed comments with the CFTC that lay out a responsible framework for music-focused prediction markets SCCG Management— a global authority in iGaming consulting, business development, and strategic expansion with over 33 years of experience in the gaming sector— extends its congratulations to FanLabel, its partner and portfolio firm, on the official rollout of FanLabel SongPicks. This paid-entry, skill-driven music contest app allows fans to leverage their music expertise to vie for cash rewards. As a shareholder in FanLabel, SCCG Management has backed the company’s growth as a strategic partner, assisting with business development, market positioning, and industry connections. The launch of FanLabel SongPicks marks the newest achievement in FanLabel’s growing ecosystem of music gamification and prediction market entertainment, and it further confirms SCCG’s investment belief that interactive, data-backed fan engagement holds substantial commercial potential across various entertainment sectors. A New Way for Music Fans to Compete FanLabel SongPicks expands on the company’s FanLabel Classic app, which enables music fans to participate in free, fantasy-sports-style music challenges. Using SongPicks, players test their music knowledge by ranking songs, forecasting streaming trends, and competing on leaderboards for actual cash prizes. The app currently offers two contest modes: Ranker, where users order songs from most to least streamed, and Best of Five, where players select the top-performing track from a set. FanLabel’s offerings are fueled by real-world music data and supported by direct licensing deals with major and independent record label groups and rights holders. The firm has teamed up with Luminate as its official stream and chart data provider and Tuned Global as its metadata infrastructure partner, guaranteeing that contests are based on objective data instead of subjective fan votes. FanLabel also collaborates with Approvely— another SCCG partner company— to handle KYC (Know Your Customer) and identity verification processes, along with Plaid for banking services. The integration with Approvely aligns with SCCG’s wider strategy of linking its partner network to develop comprehensive, end-to-end solutions for emerging entertainment and gaming sectors. “Our team is extremely proud to have FanLabel SongPicks officially launched,” stated Jeff Sloan, Founder and CEO of FanLabel. “We think the SongPicks experience will give music lovers a fresh way to connect with their passion for music, while also supporting the industry by boosting music discovery, consumption, and creating an entirely new revenue stream.” FanLabel’s CFTC Engagement Signals Regulatory Leadership FanLabel recently sent comments to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) detailing its stance that music-related event contracts can open up new avenues for fan engagement, price discovery, and future risk management tools for rights holders— provided they are tied to objective data and include proper safeguards. This submission was among the few music-centric entries in a docket largely filled with sports, gaming, crypto, and regulatory feedback. In its comments, FanLabel differentiated between music contracts based on objective third-party metrics like streams and chart positions, and more speculative contracts whose results could be swayed by a small group of insiders. The company emphasized that responsible music prediction markets should be developed in collaboration with rights holders, data providers, and regulated exchanges. FanLabel possesses five granted U.S. patents (with more applications pending) that cover music gamification and the use of music-based contract formats in prediction markets. Multiple label groups have an ownership stake in this intellectual property via their equity in FanLabel. SCCG’s Strategic View Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, noted: “FanLabel is precisely the type of company we seek for our portfolio— a team that blends deep industry expertise, protected intellectual property, a responsible regulatory approach, and a true understanding of fan behavior. The music prediction market is at a critical juncture, and FanLabel’s engagement with the CFTC, along with the SongPicks launch, establishes them as a leader in the category. As a shareholder and strategic partner, SCCG is honored to support FanLabel’s growth and to help link their platform to the wider gaming, entertainment, and prediction market ecosystem.” This article is provided by a third-party.
