The government agency in Spain that regulates taxation and finance recently ruled that Bitcoin should now be classified as an electronic payment system. This important decision could have a significant impact on the Bitcoin economy in Spain. This ruling was the first update from the Spanish government since May 2014 when the tax authority said it would monitor digital currencies like Bitcoin for suspicious and illegal activity. The Change in Legal Definition of Bitcoin The Bitcoin ruling has reinforced statements from various international legal bodies that seek to address whether Bitcoin is considered to be money under the laws of Spain. El Ministerio de Hacienda has said that Bitcoin cannot be considered electronic money or legal tender. The agency also said that Bitcoin cannot be defined as an ‘economically accessible object’ because it functions as an exchange medium. The official ruling states that Bitcoin is a convertible virtual currency which users can exchange. It can also be converted into euros, dollars and other virtual or real legal tender. Clarification for Online Gambling Sites The impact that this ruling has on the Bitcoin gambling industry is clear and it highlights the growing differences between various regions on the issue. For example, the US government shutdown of online gambling caused gambling sites to turn to Bitcoin while others have avoided it because of the uncertainty. Now, all gambling sites based in Spain, including those that only use Bitcoin must adhere to the ruling. El Ministerio de Hacienda said that online gaming businesses must now get a general gambling license along with an individual license. In its report, El Confidencial said that Bitcoin online gambling is growing in popularity in the country because this particular sector could avoid the Gambling Act by using Bitcoin. Now, el Ministerio de Hacienda said all gaming activities that involve economically valuable objects and money in any form are subject to this ruling of the Gambling Act, including those involving Bitcoin.

The second day of the UEFA Champions League group stage games continues tonight as one of the best matches goes down in Munich's Allianz Arena where Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich hosts Premier League champion Manchester City for what's expected to be an intense game kicking off at 7:45pm (UK time). Bayern without Ribery Despite the home advantage, Bayern Munich will be missing a lot of key players including Franck Ribery who's still recovering from a long-term knee injury. Arjen Robben is also in question due to a knee injury but might take part, however Alcantara, Holger Badstuber, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Rafinha and Javi Martinez will all be sidelined. Still, Bayern is armed with dangerous players like Mario Gotze, Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski which are a burden on any defense. Bayern has an open cheque with Manchester City, after they were beaten 3-2 by the Citizens at home last season with the guests coming back from trailing by two goals. Manchester City Seeks "Champions League Glory" Ahead of tonight's game, Manchester City midfielder James Milner said that the time has come for his team to prove itself, but a start against Bayern Munich at the Allianz is not the ideal beginning to a campaign, and the Citizens have won only two matches out of five played this season, managing to squeeze one point out of the Arsenal meeting last weekend. To add some salt, boss Manuel Pellegrini will watch the game from the stands due to a touchline ban. Bet Live on the Game bet365 Sports is offering live betting on today's game with a live stream and over 112 betting markets. In full time result Bayern is 4/6 to win, City is 17/4 to win and the sportsbook gives 16/5 for a draw. Don't miss out on this one tonight and log-in bet365 for a wager.
The movement towards online gambling in Brazil has been has been initiated, but completion still looks to be far off. While the Senate has opened the floor for discussion, the actual bureaucratic process by which online gambling can be regulated stands to take up to several years. Early Optimism Requires Patience Optimism regarding online gambling in Brazil spiked when Senator Ciro Nogueira's draft of an online gaming bill was introduced to the Brazilian Senate in July. Nogueira drafted the bill as an acknowledgment of the impossibility of eliminating all gambling activity in the country outright, asserting that "a prohibitive approach to gambling does not work, as the truth is that no one will ever give up playing only because that is forbidden." Nogueira seeks regulation to establish the benefits of ongoing gambling activity in Brazil, pointing out that “...current anti-gambling legislation did not stop gambling in Brazil, and today's clandestine market moves more than R$18 billion (approximately $8 billion) every year.” Noguiera seeks to set up a system of regulation that could generate huge tax revenues for the government, at annual levels estimated by related research to be upwards of R$15 billion ($6.8 billion). The Senate's Commission for Regional Development and Tourism considered Nogueira's proposal for the first time last last week, opening the door for more debate. The Bureaucratic Process From a bureaucratic point of view, the Brazilian review process can get quite complicated, if not convoluted, as different clauses in the proposal may require the passage of additional bills addressing those specific points and making them legal. The Brazilian review process is multi-tiered as well: after review by the Senatorial Commission for Regional Development and Tourism, the bill must pass through the Brazilian Commission for Science, Technology, Innovation, Communication and IT; and then the Commission for Economic Affairs; then, the Commission for the Constitution, Justice and Citizenship. Only after can the bill then be presented to the country's President for sanction, with the President empowered to make an executive decision that could go either way. A lot of variables, and a lot of red tape.
New Jersey online gambling sites reported modest monthly gains for August of 4.5%. The garden state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) reported that sites licensed by the state posted total gains of just under $10.55 million, up from the $10.07 million in July. Big Six Figures The figures are culled from the six largest operators, which are in descending order of top market size: Borgata, which is partnered with PartyGaming; Caesars/WSOP, partnered with 888; Tropicana, partnered with Virgin; Golden Nugget; Trump Plaza, partnered with Betfair; and Trump Taj Mahal, partnered with Ultimate Poker. The lion's share of income was taken in by Borgata’s 52% and Caesars/WSOP’s 47%, with Trump Taj Mahal generating the remaining 1% of revenue, at $23,099 in rake which represents the final 1%. The Taj percentage is not expected to hold in light of the casino’s recent filing for bankruptcy protection. In terms of online gambling revenue alone, a sixth player in the New Jersey market, Tropicana, is posting the most significant gains. Despite not offering online poker, Trop AC ranked second overall in online gambling take in August online take and third in net profit among the Big Six, with a total take of $2.26 million in August representing 27.2% of the New Jersey's online-casino revenue and 21.4% of the state's online gambling profits. Addressing the Primary Hurdles State revenues are currently capped by legal limitations on player pools to those residing within each individual states and on prize pools and cash game options that operators can offer. Positive signs for New Jersey include last week's announcement tweeted by New Jersey state Sen. Ray Lesniak that PokerStars is expected to resume operations in a matter of “weeks, not months,” which would activate new players and increase play volume from existing players. More help is expected from improved payment processing and geolocation; dual broadcasts of the WSOP on ESPN and November's completion of the World Series of Poker Main Event final table; and adaptation of gaming software to global market requirements. Progress will be benchmarked as a product of the recent emergency summit called by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie calling for gaming industry stakeholders in Atlantic City to apply a series of “short-term fixes and long-term action items.” In mid-October attendees will reconvene to assess progress and continue brainstorming.
The date has come and history is happening right now as some 4.2 million Scots who registered to vote are on their way to the polls to decide on the big question of Scottish independence in today's Scottish Referendum. According to opinion polls conducted in the last 48 hours, the pro-union campaign is expected to win narrowly over the independence campaign. Main Arguments Scotland's "Yes" campaign is led by its First Minister Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party which has been in power in Scotland since 2007. The main argument for separation from the UK is the desire for Scotland's independence and ability to have total control over its own affairs. Economically, separation supporters believe that Scotland will be able to sustain itself with its offshore oil fields. Pro-unionists claim that Scotland will be much weaker on the world stage with severe economical consequences that will drive the country to raise taxes in order to pay for replicating institutions that are shared with England, namely state pensions and defense forces. Additionally, Scotland will also have to re-negotiate its EU standing, and generally it means many uncertainties and risks as well as a lot of costs. Political Betting The Scottish referendum also serves as a main stage for political betting. On Tuesday, UK sportsbook Betfair started to pay for punters who put their money on a "No" result for the referendum, after the sportsbook decided that this will most likely be the winning vote. A little more wary on this matter, William Hill Sports is also offering Scottish referendum bets, giving 19/5 for "Yes" and 2/11 for "No". Other referendum betting markets include voting percentages and the Scottish currency after independence if it shall happen. Take your pick and make an historical wager – bets will be accepted until tonight.
