Tonight marks the 36th edition of the Santiago Bernabeu Trophy set to take place in Madrid in front of a full house. This will be the last game for Real before the start of the 2015/16 La Liga regular season and the second time facing the Turkish team in the last five years. Real beat the Lions 2-1 in the 2011 edition and seek to make an even greater statement tonight. Dedicated to the memory of former Real President Santiago Bernabeu, Real has won 24 times. Though a friendly match, Real is keen to put their stars on the pitch to give fans a taste of what to expect in the regular season. Aside from the Real greats, new local coach Rafa Benitez may want to start his new summer acquisitions: Brazilian center-back Pepe, Portugal left-back Fabio Coentrao, French defender Raphael Varane and his country-mate forward Karim Benzema. For the Lions, their season began over last weekend and in a disappointing turn of events they were held to a 2-2 draw against Sivaspor, a team without big names or a big budget. Things will definitely be much harder against Real tonight but needs his top players: Burak Yilmaz and Umut Bulut to continue with their goal scoring ways. Yilmaz was the savior for the Lions against Sivaspor, entering the game in the second half and scoring the two goals needed to save the match as a draw. Prediction The Lions will lose this match, but shouldn't go down without a fight. Expect Real to score at least 3, while Galatasaray put 1 in the home teams' goal. Bet365 Online Gambling In a truly one-sided match, bet365 Sports, the premier UK sportsbook has Real as obvious favorites at 1.20. Galatasaray are in need of a miracle at 9.00 and a draw comes in at 6.00. bet365 also has props for Asian Lines, Corners, Goals and Half Score, giving punters a ton of chances to win big.
Manchester United started the Premier League season with back-to-back victories and managed to win the first leg of the Champions League playoffs. Narrow margin wins can only carry them that far though, so Louis van Gaal tries to consolidate his offensive lineup. Thomas Muller is in his crosshairs and he reportedly made a huge offer for Bayern Munich’s striker, after the previous two were turned down. €85m on the Table to Sway Karl-Heinz Rummenigge Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga without breaking a sweat and the German club is expected to prevail just as easily this season. The real challenge is to make a deep run in the Champions League and win the competition again after two setbacks in 2013 and 2014. They will need their best players fit to play and Thomas Muller appears to be an essential piece in their offensive machine. The previous two offers were generous but came nowhere near the €85m bid reportedly made over the weekend by Manchester United. The last time the Red Devils went over the top with their financial propositions, they got what they wanted as Angel Di Maria joined the team. If Thomas Muller makes the switch to Old Trafford for the aforesaid amount, it will become the most expensive player ever transferred by Manchester. Thomas Muller Fancies a Transfer to England Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has frequently dismissed the rumors about Thomas Muller’s transfer, but this could well change. The World Cup winner worked his magic once again over the weekend and scored twice as Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg. Under normal circumstances, this would only consolidate his position as a key striker and unsellable asset, but apparently he announced his intention to join Manchester United. It is hardly a coincidence that this irresistible offer comes precisely this week and by the end of the month, Thomas Muller’s fate should be decided.
The Maltese government has granted a sports betting licence to sports betting leader bet365. Licence Details The Class 2 Remote Gaming Licence was officially issued to bet365 - Hillside (New Media Malta) Limited, so that the bet365 Malta chapter will now be able to provide sports betting, casino and poker type games in Malta's expansive regulatory environment. Already an emerging online powerhouse, this licencing is consistent with the next step in the bet365 expansion strategy. A bet 365 spokesperson explained that the proliferating diversity of regulatory developments in various territories has spurred the offshore operator to add a Malta licence to its existing Gibraltar licence. The move was designed to “obtain and maintain certain regulatory approvals as well as to support its operations in the evolving global regulatory environment.” New Chapter In conjunction with the Maltese licence, bet365 established a Maltese marketing company in Sliema to expand marketing management and procurement functions, with Fred Bjurjfall named to head the Maltese chapter. Malta Gaming Authority Executive Chairman Joseph Cuschieri announced that the addition of bet365 reflects the Authority's commitment to the “ongoing evolution of the industry” with a prioritizing transparency, integrity and consumer protection with a very tight focus on consumer protection. These are some positive news indeed for Malta after a chain of arrests and scandals were brought up in the country. Broader Reach for bet365 The fact is, bet365 Sports products are already very popular among people all over the world with in-play sports bets taking the crown. This new licence will diversify bet365 holdings and reach to allow the company to reach even larger crowds. The company certainly seems poised to harness the benefits of the two most attractive offshore regulatory environments as entryways into European markets, and ultimately a springboard into the United States when the wished-for day of regulation finally comes.

Last week, President of Poland Bronisław Komorowski approved a new amendment to the country’s gaming legislation that will allow European companies to offer their services in Poland. This means that companies that have been established in the territory of the EU (European Union) or European Free Trade Association members will be able to offer gambling services, as long as they commit to the terms specified in the new amendment. One of these terms includes establishing a presence in Poland, either through a Polish office branch or a Polish representative. President Bronislaw’s official release stated, "Under the present legislation the following activities: card games, dice games, gaming machines, cash bingo, betting and lottery audio texts can be carried out only in the form of a joint stock company or a limited liability company, established on Polish territory.” Journey to The Amendment In general, Poland’s rules for the gambling industry have been very strict, especially regarding foreign operators in the local market. Which is why the approval of Poland’s new amendment did not happen overnight; in fact, it took almost a year to receive approval. The Polish government first submitted a draft of the amendment to the European Commission (EC) in 2014. The draft was edited in January 2015 based on feedback from the Subcommittee for Controlling the Budget Implementation, and finally approved in August 2015. Online Gambling in the EU Online gambling in countries that are part of the EU is regulated by the European Commission, which focuses on cross-border online gambling services and issues such as the compliance of national regulatory frameworks with EU law, protecting consumers, minors and vulnerable groups, preventing fraud and money laundering, and safeguarding the integrity of sports and preventing match-fixing. Given that the EU gambling market is estimated at approximately 84.9 billion euro annually (yes, you read that correctly), with a yearly growth rate of 3%, more and more countries are looking to the EC for regulation approval.
Spain's foray into online slot regulation looks good so far. Online Popularity Rises After introducing online slots earlier this year, online slot providers 888 Casino, bet365 Casino and 21 Grand Casino have all gained rapid popularity among Spanish players. According to the Spanish online gaming regulation authority La Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego, online gambling of registered users in Spain increased from from 2.2 million to 3.9 million in 2014, with 51.7 per cent newcomers to the ranks of active players. Acclimation Clearly, an acclimation process its taking place in the Spanish market: further interesting bits of information about Spanish online gambling activity includes the fact that the average ‘player lifetime’ was 3.27 months with 41.7 per cent of players partaking on online gambling for no more than a month. The challenge for operators to keep customers can also be seen as a positive reflection on the ability of Spanish gamblers to avoid addiction or excess. Nonetheless, among active player-clients, operators still managed to keep their loyalty: over 70 per cent of Spanish players registered with just one operator, with only 1.6 per cent registering with as much as six operators. Preferences Revealed The gaming preferences of Spanish players were also telling, with the most popular games showing as sports betting (60.4%) and poker tournament play (44.8 percent). Meanwhile, 20.6 per cent of Spanish players were involved in non-slots casino play and 7.9 per cent in bingo, with the average players spending an average of €7,769 for a total average return payout from all games of an equitable 95.7 per cent. Outlook It looks like if operators can just hold the course, they can build up a decent client base, with stable and steady growth mirroring the level of comfort that the Spanish players forge from available slot and poker play online. Work does still need to be done on the verticals, where the majority of verticals in the Spanish market still saw a revenue decline, with only casino and contests posting growth.
