News has reached the press of Playtech’s decision to book three weeks with a Warner Bros studio to record fresh footage to enhance its virtual sports betting experience. Playtech had revealed virtual sports back in February, but the Warner Bros filming began just a few days ago at the start of July. Playtech’s revealed that a new version of its football simulation would be released, alongside other virtual sports, on desktop, mobile, and retail platforms. A number of other virtual sports are currently available at participating sites, with examples including horse racing, tennis, basketball, cycling, and greyhounds. Virtual sports enable bettors to place wagers on simulated games that have been developed using motion capture technology normally associated with blockbuster Hollywood movies. Thanks to the realism of motion capture technology, bettors can now seek out a realer than real virtual sports experience. Playtech Investing Heavily in Virtual Sports Playtech has spared no expense in developing its virtual sports platform, having ensured that customers can bet in play while listening to commentaries performed in their local language. That expansive approach to developing the platform could help to blur the lines with real-life sports betting for some customers. In performing the motion capture with Warner Bros, Playtech called upon the services of professional athletes as part of a drive for authenticity. Having such a refined offering gave Playtech the confidence to declare at ICE 2015 that it would deliver the ultimate virtual sports experience. A few months later and it would appear that Playtech is still prepared to go above and beyond for virtual sports. Championing new innovation for the benefit of the customer is certainly admirable, but can virtual sports every really take off next to genuine sports? Looking at Playtech powered sportsbooks at operators such as Winner Casino, it feels that this new discipline certainly has potential.

Unable to integrate into the Danish market effectively, Ladbrokes is pulling out. Danish Operations Cease The bookmaker confirmed the decision via a statement on the soon to be terminated Danish version of its website, giving Danish players a window until July 31st to withdraw the now unplayable funds in their accounts. New Danish customers are now unable to sign up for Ladbrokes, and no more bets will be accepted by Ladbrokes from Danish players at all. Unconfirmed speculation is that revenues were falling too far short of profit goals. Whatever the reason, Ladbrokes has its attention elsewhere right now, as talks with traditional rival Gala Coral about a merger are heating up, so struggling in a new market has no appeal for the bookmaking giant. Merger Priority The competitive move for most iGaming providers feeling out different regulated markets is to hedge their risks by merging with competitors. In effect, regulation is a greater hurdle to overcome than market competition these days, so Ladbrokes like others may be seeking to strengthen its infrastructure before extending into unpredictable newly regulated markets, keeping in mind that each new market represents its own set of rules, taxes, and licensing. Ladbrokes and Gala Coral have openly confirmed ongoing merger talks between the two, regarding a possible deal that would include the integration of Gala Coral-operated Coral Retail, Eurobet Retail as well as Gala Coral's online businesses. Issues still remain regarding a final price and the integrated senior management structure at the top of the proposed diversification under current Ladbrokes chief executive officer Jim Mullen. Combine Forces to Sustain The deal is part of Ladbrokes increased strategic focus on building its digital scale and corporate sustainability. Ladbrokes is just one of many iGaming operators undergoing or exploring similar deals for organizational evolution and sustainability across the diverse and multiple channels that newly regulated markets proliferating globally represent.

Andy Murray is the home-crowd British favourite, Roger Federer the Wimbledon Darling. Murray is bidding to win only his second Wimbledon title, while Federer is bidding to claim a record eighth title.
