🏇 An “initial impact” has been made on black market traffic numbers as a result of Gambling Commission enforcement, according to the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). However, a spokesperson for the body told NEXT.io that a “more sustained drop” in visits to unlicensed horse racing betting sites is needed, with numbers still “well above pre-white paper levels.” The BHA previously raised its concerns about black market traffic figures after a report was released by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) earlier in November. CEO Brant Dunshea commented at the time: “Throughout the Gambling Act Review, British racing consistently warned that even well-intentioned p...

🇧🇷 Rio Lottery chief: Black market migration ‘could escalate to incalculable proportions’ Brazil’s ban on fixed-odds betting did not only take federally licensed operators offline. Provisional Measure (MP) 1.394, in force since 25 September, also ended the betting authorisations issued by Brazil’s states, which have been allowed to run their own lotteries since a 2020 Supreme Court (STF) ruling. With the period for Congress to vote on the MP now extended until March and its fate likely to be decided in 2027, Loterj president Fabíola Esteves told NEXT.io how the regulator plans to move forward, why video lottery terminals remain legal in Rio, and why she fears an exodus to the black market....

Speaking to local news station KSAT 12, the politician declared that she is “not for or against” a liberalisation of Texas’ gambling laws.

💰 Former STS owners the Juroszek family have taken a majority stake in affiliate Gentoo Media after a €100m debt refinancing deal. Polish gambling tycoons the Juroszeks expanded their empire earlier this month after Gentoo Media’s €100m debt refinancing package resulted in family members boosting their stake from 26.8% to a controlling interest of 59.3%.

🌊 The UK Chancellor’s attempts to insulate pubs and seaside amusements from the Machine Games Duty (MGD) increase “do not fully reflect how seaside businesses actually operate,” says the British Amusement Catering Trade Association (Bacta). A rise in MGD from 20% to 25% only affects higher value category B gaming machines, but a spokesperson for the trade body told NEXT.io: “You cannot protect the traditional seaside arcade without also protecting the income streams that make it viable.” Bacta added that while the stated intention of Chancellor John Healey in his autumn budget was welcome, many traditional seaside amusement arcades rely on income from these higher margin machines to suppo...

🇧🇷 Suppliers to Brazil’s betting industry are torn between reclaiming their losses and waiting for the market to reopen, after being stuck with unpaid tax invoices and cancelled contracts amid an industry ban imposed without a proper impact study. Provisional Measure (MP) 1.394, signed on 25 September, shut down Brazil’s regulated betting market overnight, and since Monday (9 November), operators can no longer challenge it in the lower courts: Justice Luiz Fux has suspended all such lawsuits nationwide. The impact of the ban, however, extends well beyond operators to payment providers, technology suppliers and contractors. NEXT.io spoke to a range of industry stakeholders to find out who i...

✈️ The long-running legal battle between Spribe and Aviator has taken another turn, with the English High Court drawing new boundaries around where their competing crash games can operate. In a judgment handed down on 6 November, Mr Justice Tappin backed restrictions on expanding the rival Aviator game in three countries, while allowing Spribe to pursue additional claims in nine markets. However, it rejected its attempt in 28 markets. The court has also brought the main trial forward to October 2027, rather than early 2028, as the bitter dispute over copyright, branding and unfair competition continues.

🇺🇸 DraftKings has slashed its revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for full-year 2026 after rising costs contributed to its net loss almost doubling year-on-year during Q3. Overall adjusted EBITDA is forecast to range between $175m and $275m, dramatically lower when compared with previous guidance of $700m to $900m. This primarily reflects the company’s expected $650m to $700m investment in prediction markets. Sponsored message Multiply your reach. Tap into NEXT.io Media.

👀 Super Group CEO Neal Menashe has ruled out any forthcoming prediction market venture from the business. During the company’s Q3 earnings call, Menashe said: “The truth is, we don’t have a predictions product. We are focused purely on our sportsbook and our online casinos, which is what we built over the last year. And that’s where we are able to literally compete head-on with all of our competitors.” International sportsbook operations contributed $33m in revenue for Q3, compared with $36m in the same period last year. But in contrast to many of Super Group’s major listed international competitors, the company seemingly has no interest in pursuing a prediction market product to make up...
