Sweden will review it's online gambling framework - that didn't take long! Monopoly Issue The negative connotations of a government-owned monopoly were too much to sustain in Sweden's rapidly emerging iGaming market. Mounting pressure from the European Commission, its own officials, and public perceptions seemed to come to a head in recent weeks, is reportedly bringing about the end of the gambling monopoly of Svenska Spel in Sweden. Sweden's nation status in the EU was called into question a year ago by the Commission because of the sovereign nation's failure to update its restrictive gambling rules and regulations and make them more compatible with EU policy, which favors online regulation. Recent Pressure Ramps Last month, Sweden's Ministry of Finance formally agreed to thoroughly review its gambling framework in order to make it more compliant with EU policy, and more consistent with the demands and potential social benefits of today's European gambling industry. Dissolving the control of Svenska Spel and Lotteriinspektionen, the gambling monopolist and regulatory body in the country, will open Sweden's market to new online operators originating in Sweden, as well as welcome betting operators outside its borders to enter the market. The dissolution of the monopoly will also entail a review of services offered by Svenska Spel, whose new struggles undoubtedly spurred this new approach by the Swedish government: the first half of last year saw the monopolist drop in a reported 5% in sales from the same period in 2013. Currently, in a country where Svea Casino, Tivoli Casino and Cherry Casino are already popular, only operators holding a Swedish gambling license are allowed to accept wagers from Swedish players. Accelerated Adaptation The deadline for making changes and establishing new gambling laws in the country to meet EU requirements is September 2018, at the time of Sweden's next general election. However, the way things are going, that feels a long way off for revamping the monopoly of Sweden's online gambling market. A special session or accelerated measures certainly does not appear out of the question. Between the EU stigmatization of a monopoly, and the opportunity to expand revenues by allowing foreign operators into the market, the Swedish government appears wise to pick up the pace.
Prague's Endorphina has inked a new deal, this time with Georgia's Europe-Bet, making Endorphina games available on Europe Bet, which is owned by Betsson. Rapid Rise Having launched online slots a scant three years ago, Europe-Bet may be a relatively new name in on the global iGaming stage, but this operator is firmly entrenched in its native market, holding an estimated 30 per cent of Georgia's total market share. It has also been about three years since Endorphina began developing its content. After successfully expanding from slots to a full range of iGaming products including live casino, roulette and blackjack, Europe-Bet was acquired by Betsson for $85m deal last July. The new deal with Endorphina came about as a result of several months of negotiations with Europe-Bet, a holding that Endorphina business development manager Ruslan Lyulko said his company considered attractive as “one of the top online casinos worldwide.” Europe-Bet Strategy Europe-Bet slot product manager Avtandil Oboladze gave a glimpse into his company's strategy of introducing new slot games in order to further strengthen its current leading position in the Georgian iGaming market, clarifying that the new deal will provide customers with a new experience which will increase satisfaction and loyalty. This partnership looks promising for expansion as both companies are on a rapid growth trajectory and they can now integrate their services and adapt to emerging markets as well as the markets in which they already hold strong positions. With the Endorphina brand already being effectively positioned through subsidiary casinos such as Coin Palace Casino, Omni Slots Casino and Casinovo, the brand experience of both companies already has a promising platform upon which to strengthen the interactive experience of clients of both. Depth Charge The results of this new deal will be interesting to watch, because in the accelerated pace of market share and expansion into continually emerging newly regulated markets, effective meshing of complementary skills of even smaller brands can catapult a new partnership right to the top of the market.
Back to the Future is one of the most beloved films to ever grace the silver screen, capturing the hearts of millions. Those familiar with the Back to the Future trilogy will remember how Marty, Doc, and Jennifer set off for future to a time when clothes could dry themselves, shoes would tie their own laces, and kids would skate around on hoverboards. The date entered in to the DeLorean was October 21st 2015, a day that is now upon us. Today (Wednesday) is to be called Back to the Future Day in honour of the date that featured in the 1985 film. Going back more than 30 years, creators Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale simply chose a date, not thinking that it would ever become so significant to millions of people. Nevertheless, here we find ourselves. And now that the day is here, it is worth asking whether or not we will ever get to play a Back to the Future slot. IGT Has the Back to the Future Licence First of all, it certainly appears possible, given that IGT had already unveiled a Back to the Future slot machine back in 2013. Many land-based casinos in the US now have the machine, allowing for players to experience a slot with all of the main actors’ realistic likenesses. IGT obtained the licensing needed to recreate the film as a slot machine, so it could technically be possible for them to decide to release a version for online casinos. However, the developer is probably waiting to see how the slot machine performs before committing to the creation of an online version. For the meantime, there are some excellent IGT slots to experience at sites like bet365 Casino, Mr Green Casino, and Vera and John Casino. Slots to try include Star Trek, Prowling Panther, and the Mega Jackpots series.
The leaders of the Premier League, Man. City play host to Sevilla in hopes that they can pull away from the Spanish team in the Champions League standings. Sevilla and Man. City both have 3 points going into tonight's game, both behind Group D leaders Juventus. Man. City defeated Borussia Monchengladbach on Matchday two after losing to the group leaders Juventus in Matchday 1. Sevilla defeated Borussia on Matchday one, but much like Man. City, they lost to Juventus in Turin on Matchday 2. If Sevilla is to move on to the next round, they will need to take the points away from either Man. City tonight, or against Juventus over the winter when they play them again. The Spanish side is currently in 13th place in La Liga action and have not been able to get the wins they need to improve in league play. Sevilla did manage to do the seemingly impossible when they beat Barcelona at home 2-1 but have lost their last 3 of six, with two wins and a draw in all competitions. The odds are stacked against Sevilla tonight, with bet365 Sports posting 5.50 underdog odds against them. Man. City are at 1.66 to get the win, but there are dozens of additional markets that punters can use to maximize profits. Correct Score odds are particularly attractive with a 2-0 Man. City win paying out 8.50. There are additional markets for punters to choose from and some special Champions League offers at bet365 Sports. One of the most attractive offers is the Euro Soccer offer available to all registered punters at bet365. There is also the infamous Bore Money Back special in which punters will get all of their money back in the event that the match ends in a 0-0 draw. This offer is in addition to the existing welcome offers and specific match offers that bet365 provides.
The UK Gambling Commission has announced that it is planning a complete overhaul of the available licensing laws in order to come down harder on money laundering within the industry. Operators with licenses granted in the market will have the opportunity to present their own experience with major issues and customers will also get the chance to share their thoughts on the matter. 10-year anniversary with new changes The 2005 Gambling Act has proved to be very useful for the industry in the United Kingdom but with a decade of history now on record, the Gambling Commission believes it is time to change some of the laws in order to better fit in the current landscape. Several proposed changes for the regulation will be mulled over with the focus on eliminating money laundering, further distancing the gambling industry from activities of criminal nature. The consultation invites operators and players alike to say what they think of the current regulations and propose changes by downloading the form from the official website of the UK Gambling Commission. Operators are asked to assess the risk of money laundering being done on their online products and share some ideas on how to better prevent this from happening. Some of the most popular brands in the industry bring a lot of experience to the table and can help make online gambling safer and more legitimate throughout the market and beyond it. Operators like Slots Magic Casino, Tivoli Casino and bet365 have a great reputation and reliable services. Better laws for better technology The advances in technology have changed the industry over the years and the way players can interact with their favorite gambling options. It only makes sense that the laws would change in order to better outline the products, as well as the new consumer preferences and challenges regarding crime. Everyone is welcomed to express themselves on the critical questions brought forward by the Gambling Commission.
Though online casinos and sports betting on the rise, Italy continues to struggle in the bread and butter category of online gambling: online poker. Online pokers failing figures reveal that net revenue for ring games in September fell 20 percent to €6.5 million ($7.3 million) from €8.2 million ($9.3 million) of September last year. General wagers were down as well despite these upward trends in specific online gambling activity. The unflattering totals show that the amount wagered by players in cash games dropped from €330 million ($372 million) to €242.2 million ($273 million). Italian Struggles This is consistent with the struggle Italy has had to sustain revenues for online cash games since they were legalized in 2011. The problem now is to address the tournament poker issue, because that has been a reliable online stream, maintaining comparative health through stable income since 2011. Current figures now show that revenue from tournament buy-ins dropped 19 percent, down to €58.7 million from €72.5 million last year, with net revenues falling from €5.3 million to €6.4 million. Online Regulation in Italy In a country where gambling has proven popular with Italian players who frequent popular online casinos such as Mr Green, 888 Casino and William Hill, the regulatory landscape now remains somewhat of a spaghetti: an attempt at economic invigoration through a 20 percent tax on gross profit instead of gross gambling revenue has stalled. Concurrent proposals to impose new taxes on digital services are gathering momentum as well, threatening revenue income even more. Too Much Advertising? A major political opposition is rising from politicians who have become offended at the amount of gambling advertising that is being broadcast on television since legalization began. This is the basis for a groundswell of conservative support for a bill banning all forms of gambling advertising is wending its way through the Italian parliament to further compromise the underperforming market as it is. It certainly is a reminder of the importance for gambling organizations everywhere to exercise restraint in advertising, once concessions have been made that allow them to regulate.
