The Quebec government's recent announcement to require Internet Service Providers to block unauthorised gambling sites has already met a challenge. Source of Opposition Immediately opposed by many as a breach of internet freedom, a form of censorship, and beyond the scope of the province's jurisdictionary powers, the first formal protest against the legislation first proposed in early 2015 has been filed. The Filing The Public Interest Advocacy Centre has filed a request with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission CRTC that the federal regulator declare the law unconstitutional. The Problem External PIAC counsel Geoff White asserted that “Bill 74 violates a long-standing recognition of federal jurisdiction over telecommunications” raising his own organization's concerns as to “what could happen if one province is allowed to order ISPs Internet service providers to block certain websites.” The Purpose The legislation initially was drafted to divert revenues from “unauthorised” gambling sites to Espacejeux, the website run by Loto-Québec, which would also compile the list of unauthorised sites. The Provincial Position The government defended the law as a legitimate measure within the provincial powers to regulate gambling and promote health and safety, with the Quebec National Assembly approving the new provision in May as part of Bill 74. Costing ISP's Already ISP's are already incurring new technical costs while they evaluate how to comply with the new rules and block certain sites specifically in Quebec but not outside the province. Call for Quick Resolution White called for a commission decision to avoid “an unnecessary and protracted constitutional debate, given the very clear past rulings of the Supreme Court.” Federal Government Stance The decisions he is referring to include the June ruling by Canada's top court over the site of a new cell tower reaffirming that the federal government has authority over telecommunications (as opposed to the smaller provincial authority of Quebec). Quebec Minster Responds Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao responded via e-mail that Quebec province officials have “reasonable assurance that we are acting within our jurisdiction to protect consumers and fight against the risks of gambling.” Outlook This is the ideal time for the CRTC to chime in, and the commission's ruling will go a long way towards determining if the Quebec ISP blocks will ultimately be allowed to stand.
Fans of Ancient Greece will get a kick out of Habanero’s newest slot game, Sparta, which features hardy warriors, billowing warships and ancient military weaponry. But unlike the feature film 300, which is set in the ancient city, the Sparta slot focuses less on the gore and more on the opportunities for scoring large wins. About the Game Sparta is a 5x3 reel, low volatility slot. Players can select up to 25 lines, and the Zeus lightning symbol has a high value and pays up to 1800 times the total spin bet. The background of the game itself is rather, well, Spartan (pun intended!), but the soundtrack is intriguing and the graphics enjoyable. When players hit a winning combination, golden coins rain down upon the screen, the numbers soar, and the tempo speeds up. True to form, Habanero’s newest creation was developed in HTML5, which means that it runs smoothly on desktop, tablet, and phone. CEO of Habanero, Nic Ioannoy, commented, “We think Sparta will be really popular across a wide range of territories as it is a perfect combination of the old and the new.” Players can expect to find the new Sparta slot at Habanero casinos like Winner Casino, 32Red Casino, and Gala Casino. Habanero Slots In March of this year, Habanero released a slot game entitled Roman Empire, a 25-payline, medium volatility slot that was received well across the board. With its latest release of Sparta, it seems that Habanero has tapped into a niche that suits both the company and their players. About Habanero Habanero supplies quality slots and table games for the online and land-based casino industries. Habanero’s portfolio of slots currently includes over 60 titles, with an additional six table games and ten video poker games. Habanero games have been directly integrated into 25 operators and are available in 15 languages.
Lucescu left Shakhtar Donetsk after 12 years and will be training Zenit St. Petersburg. The Ukrainians have brought Paolo Fonseca and the new manager hopes to start the season with an important victory. Opportunity is at hand as his team plays against Dynamo Kiev in the Ukrainian Supercup. His opponents have the upper hand after winning the domestic championship last season by a comfortable margin. Back-To-Back Victories for Dynamo Kiev The reigning champions were busy this summer and played no fewer than seven friendly games after the end of the regular season. With only a couple of footballers playing for the national team, they had plenty of time to test the new squad. The campaign of friendly games went better than expected as Dynamo won all but one and is yet to lose a match. Shakhtar Donetsk played fewer games and they were less successful, but had tougher opponents. The team is also undergoing a series of changes, as the Portuguese manager tries to find the ideal starting 11. His preference for Brazilian players is self-evident and luckily for him, Lucescu left a couple of quality South American players. The Head to Head Record Favors Shakhtar Dynamo Kiev won the championship last season despite losing both games against their archrivals. Shakhtar Donetsk dropped plenty of points against weaker teams and eventually this came back to bite them. In the head to head games however, they were more than a match for the team from the nation’s capital. They won both games by 3-0 and hope to extend this winning streak in the Super Cup. In the last seven games played between Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk the winning team kept clean sheets every time. Two games resulted in scoreless draws, so there are plenty of arguments in favor of taking the odds of 4/5 offered by bet365 Sports on fewer than 2.5 goals to be scored.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is the most popular first-person shooter and the uncontested leader in the eSports industry. Millions of dollars are won by those who win prestigious tournaments, but these prizes represent just the tip of the iceberg. Over the last couple of years a lot of money was made by the gambling industry using CS skins as a bargaining chip. The industry is estimated at $7.4 billion, but it can all come down in flames as Valve is on the verge of shutting it down. Valve Gives in to Criticism The company that produced Counter Strike: Global Offensive and distributes many other games on Steam was accused of benefiting from this industry. Detractors claim that Valve made a lot of money by facilitating the purchase of skins over the Internet. This is how it was possible for the industry to take bets worth billions of dollars in 2016, but it’s the same company that could reduce it to rubble. After facing waves of criticism, they decided to come out with a statement that leaves no shred of a doubt regarding their position. Valve has announced that they will start sending notices to all those websites that facilitate these transactions and ask them to stop immediately. Without the support of the company that has produced CS and Steam, it’s hard to believe that the industry can survive. This also marks an important moment for the company that previously encouraged players to collect virtual items. Skin Gambling Prohibited by Twitch Twitch has achieved something spectacular by convincing millions of players to share their content and watch professionals play. Now the popular service warns users against promoting any skin gambling for CS, following the announcements made by Valve. Even though it didn’t seem possible a couple of weeks ago, the end seems to be nigh for the Counter Strike: Global Offensive scheme gambling industry.
The recently signed agreement between Barcelona and Betfair adds the betting exchange on the list of official global partners of the Spanish football club. Over the next three seasons and starting on July 1, they will be working together to improve the brand visibility of Barcelona. Great News for Football Fans Betfair is the leading betting exchange where punters can bet on top odds on their favorite teams and dozens of sports. Primera Division is widely regarded as the best football championship, which explains the preference for this competition. As a result of signing this agreement, Betfair will enjoy access to Barcelona players, which in turn should help them create better marketing campaigns. Their customer base is expected to increase as a result of this deal, while the quality of their promotional content will also improve. There brand is already well known internationally, but shaking hands with Barcelona comes as a confirmation of their high profile. The Spanish football club has a reputation of only associating its name with companies that have a flawless track record. An Important Year for Betfair The merger between the betting exchange and Paddy Power made the resulting company one of the top three online gambling operators. Nearly half of all the revenue generated by Betfair Paddy Power comes from football, which highlights the importance of this recent agreement. Now that they have access to Barcelona’s digital channels, the betting exchange will have an easier task at achieving its ambitions. The ultimate beneficiaries of this deal are the punters themselves, who can expect unique sporting experiences and exclusive campaigns. Other online bookmakers have signed lucrative deals with major football clubs in 2016, to improve their exposure. However, all these agreements pale in comparison to the one signed by Barcelona and Betfair, as the partnership will continue for at least three years.
Malmo and AIK have dominated the Swedish Allsvenskan for many years, but Norrkoping won the trophy last season. Now they are trying to reestablish their dominance and this match has special meaning for both teams. Malmo is currently leading the tables, but they always had a hard time facing AIK on the road and the hosts are undefeated this season. Something's Got to Give in Stockholm Malmo has won 10 games in 13 rounds but only has a three-point advantage over the reigning champions. Norrkoping is right behind them and is expected to win on Saturday when it plays in front of its fans. That’s why Malmo is under tremendous pressure ahead of this fixture and needs to play its A-game to consolidate the lead. The visitors lost just two games on the road and none of their games ended undecided regardless of venue. However, one point at AIK wouldn’t be a bad outcome, since the hosts haven’t lost a single game at home. A draw is not regarded as a bad result by the home side either, since it would keep them within striking distance of the leading pack. Defenses Win Games in Sweden Malmo is known for its offensive prowess and leads the Allsvenskan with 28 goals scored. What makes this team truly impressive is the ability to defend both at home and on the road. They will lock horns with an equally competent team, as AIK allowed just 5 goals in 6 home games. This made it possible for them to avoid defeat despite scoring just eight times. It’s hard to pick a winner in this fixture, so those who have an account with bet365 Sports would be better off betting on fewer than 2.5 goals to be scored. This outcome is priced at 4/5 and has the advantage of covering both low-scoring draws and narrow margin victories.
