Scandinavia-based gambling group Cherry AB has completed an August 2016 acquisition that will see the company’s Game Lounge Ltd affiliate network expand into the UK and Germany. Fundamentally, the agreement entitles Game Lounge to purchase the essential assets of an affiliate marketing company called Interclick Ltd. Profits Expected in 18 Months To conclude the deal, Game Lounge will transfer $1.5 million in cash, with the affiliate specialist foreseeing profits inside of 18 minutes. Following the deal, Game Lounge revealed that it expects to increase its annual revenue by €1.3 million, while €1 million is the estimated earnings before, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA). The driving factor behind Cherry’s acquisition was the desire to expand the gambling group’s reach beyond Scandinavia and into European markets. Having worked in the UK and Germany for some 14 years, Interclick has established a network of 40 gambling domains that will immediately increase Cherry’s European portfolio. Game Lounge Eyes Expansion Cherry’s last major expansion into the affiliate market came in 2015, when the Scandinavian gambling group purchase a 51% stake in Game Lounge. After opening for business in 2011, Game Lounge amassed a network of affiliate sites through Finland, Sweden, and some other countries in Northern Europe. Altogether, Game Lounge is responsible for igaming brands in 10 European jurisdictions, with company founder Jonas Cederholm still serving as CEO. In addition to the UK and Germany, Game Lounge has aspirations for the international expansion of its affiliate network. Asia, in particular, will raise new opportunities for Game Lounge. At present, Game Lounge is heavily focused on working with Scandinavian igaming brands, including the likes of Svea Casino, Suomi Automaatti, Netti Kasino Vertailu, and Mr Bet. The same can be said for Cherry, which is responsible for overseeing the operations of Cherry Casino, Euro Slots, Euro Lotto, Nordic Slots, and Spille Automater.
One of the biggest PGA events of the year is just about to tee-off from Farmingdale New York at the Bethpage State Park - Black Course. The stars of the circuit are out in full swing and looking to get their cut of the $8.5 million purse at stake. The Barclays is an exciting 4-day tournament over a difficult course, but in the past the sport's best have been able to shoot relatively low-scores even with the deceptive greens. The big story for this competition is that whomever wins is pretty much guaranteed a spot in the Tour Championship, which takes place three tournaments from now. That is a lot of pressure for those on the bubble and if players have low FedEx Cup points, they should be focused on taking top spot in Farmingdale. "Everyone's got their mind on East Lake," said Justin Rose in an interview a couple days ago. "Everyone knows how the FedExCup is structured. Everyone knows they are in the top five going into The Tour Championship, you've got that opportunity to win it. So everyone's vying for position now." Last year it was Jason Day that won first place, but the last few years have seen Hunter Mahan, Adam Scott, Nik Watney and Dustin Johnson win respectively. It should be a great four days of golf to watch and punters have a ton of odds to choose from at bet365 Sports. Live Odds and Outright Wagers bet365 Sports offers punters a lot of choice when it comes to Golf. This is definitely the same for the Barclays. Out in front to win the tournament is Jason Day, defending champion at 8.00. He is followed closely by Dustin Johnson at 10.00 and Rory McIlroy at 12.00. Henrik Stenson is in fourth place at 13.00 and Jordan Speith is right there at 15.00. The odds jump from 23.00 to 36.00 amongst players that have a decent chance of winning, but it will most likely be one of the tour leaders taking the top prize in this one.
Nintendo’s Pokemon Go took the world of video games by storm this summer. Inspired by the popularity of this title, 888sport has unveiled a similar game aimed at those who love football. The Free Bet Hunt mobile game takes geo-targeting to the next level and will be available exclusively to English football fans. It will be available at both Premier League and Championship features starting the season. Search for Free Bet Offers near Stadiums The game mechanics of The Free Bet Hunt game bear many similarities to Pokemon Go. Football fans will have to leave their homes and go to local stadiums in their quest for free bets. Birmingham City, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Preston North End fans can consider themselves lucky. These teams are sponsored by 888sport and that’s why the free bets will be available next to their stadiums’ location. Participants will be notified about the location of free bets, as they will appear on the map. The bookmaker has announced that even those who don’t watch the games from the stands will be able to collect the free bets. This is possible due to the fact that these bonuses will appear outside stadiums, rather than on the premises. An Interactive Way of Betting on Sports The Free Bet Hunt mobile game should appeal to both fans of video games and punters. The latter will be able to bet on their favorite game in a more interactive way and without spending real cash. 888sport promises to come up with more initiatives of this type that are supposed to make sports betting a more immersive experience.

Recent years have seen many English Premier League clubs sign partnerships with sports betting and casino giants and West Ham United were one of the latest to do so as they signed their initial deal with Betway, one of the largest UK sports betting providers. Just this week, West Ham have announced an extension of this deal, set to last through the 2019/20 season and apparently worth more than any other commercial deal in West Ham history. The new deal comes at a crucial time for the club, as they move into the spectacular new London Stadium as a part of a major revolution of this UK sporting giant. Both parties have confirmed the deal, with representatives from both making statements for the press. The marketing director of Betway, Anthony Werkman, said for the press: “We are thrilled to renew our agreement with West Ham United and proud to maintain our close association with one of the most historic teams in English football, during such a hugely significant era for the Club.” West Ham United representatives sounded just as pleased with this new deal, as Vice-Chairman Karren Brady proclaimed: “We are delighted to extend our relationship with Betway, signing our biggest-ever commercial deal in the process. Our brand has grown faster than any other major Premier League club in the past two years, and an equally ambitious, forward-thinking brand like Betway wants to be associated with that success.” With strong presence across the European countries, Betway is one of the most recognizable online gambling brands in the industry, with over 1.000 employees and working licenses from all the major European countries. The deal comes as a part of a series of similar arrangements, with the likes of Tottenham and William Hill just recently signing quite an impressive deal themselves.
Bayern Munich couldn’t have possibly wished for a better opponent to face in the opening round of a new season. The reigning champions will take on Werder Bremen, a team that didn’t caused them any headaches recently and one that has a hard time defending against them. The visitors are hard-pressed to bolster their defenses, as they will come under heavy fire and will have to survive a 90 minutes siege. A Flawless Track Record for Bayern Munich One would have to look way back to find a match won by Werder Bremen against the reigning champions. Bayern Munich won the last 13 games and most of these were lopsided victories. Scoring goals has never been a problem for them and the home side will be aiming for another comfortable win. The starting formation will feature three strikers and an offensive midfield that contributes offensively. Bayern is undergoing a process of change after Guardiola departed for Manchester City. On the bright side, the new manager has so many quality footballers available that making the transition is an easy job. The Bundesliga matches are merely a warm-up for the upcoming Champions League fixtures and it’s vital for Bayern to kickstart the season with a victory. Storm Clouds Ahead for Werder Bremen The visitors have a few reasons to be optimistic ahead of this fixture, especially after recent results. The campaign of friendly games resulted in humiliating defeats and they were also eliminated from the German domestic cup. To make matters worse, the executioners were a team from the third division and not even one fighting for promotion. This is going to be a one-sided game with Werder Bremen defending for its life, while the home side pushes on from the first minute. Bayern Munich will come out firing on all cylinders, so it’s very likely that more than 3.5 goals will be scored. Bet365 offers odds of 4/5 on this market, but don’t expect them to last until match day.
In the wake of the winter Olympics, Russian authorities were counting on Sochi to turn into a prosperous region. Unfortunately, most of the Olympic facilities were left unused and the number of visiting tourists decreased sharply. That’s why Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has recently signed a resolution to create a gambling zone here. It will go by the name of Krasnaya Polyana and will cover the 165,000 m², more than enough for a major gambling complex. A Joint Venture with Sberbank The largest savings bank in Russia, came up with the idea of creating this gambling zone. In order to set it up, the authorities had to make sure that the document was in accord with existing gambling laws. Since 2009, it is prohibited to gamble outside territories that were specially assigned for such purposes. Betting terminals and sports books are the only accepted form of gambling, so Russians have few options. The Kransaya Polyana company is controlled by the Russian savings bank, the same that built the mounting ski resort called Gonraya Karusel. Now that the authorities gave their blessing and a major financial institution is behind this project, the future of gambling in Sochi looks bright. Potential Magnet for Tourists Sochi is a popular destination for tourists during summertime, with most of the visitors being Russians. Now when the classic traveling destinations for seaside enthusiasts are regarded as unsafe, the resort draws larger crowds. Sadly, once the summer season ends there are very few reasons for visiting this area. The Kransaya Polyana gambling zones should attract gamblers throughout the year and increase the number of foreigners visiting Sochi. This is not the only gambling zone established in Russia, with Altai Territory, the Krasnodar Territory, Primorye Territory and Kaliningrad being the alternatives. None of them however are as attractive as Sochi.
The wait is now over. Fantasy sports are coming back to New York through the wide gates as the recently enacted law allows for licensed operators to offer their services within the state. Five companies, including the market leaders DraftKings and FanDuel, have been issued temporary licenses by the New York State Gaming Commission. Brief History of Fantasy Sports in NY Since they have been first introduced in New York, daily fantasy sports garnered huge popularity with the audience. Two leading companies, Boston's FanDuel and New York's DraftKings, were growing rapidly, attracting more and more players with each day. It all came to a crushing halt in late 2015 when the New York's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman went after fantasy sports, claiming they were essentially another form of gambling. All forms of online gambling are illegal in New York. Although initially intent to fight the persecution, sites eventually gave in and left the market, with the stipulation they would be allowed to return once the legislation was passed. New Law Creates Regulated Market The bill to regulate daily fantasy sports in New York passed all the necessary procedures and finally arrived to the desk of Governor Andrew Cuomo earlier this month (August). Cuomo wasted no time signing the bill, turning it into a full-fledged law. The bill defines fantasy sports as a "game of skill," which makes all the difference in the world in terms of regulation. While finer details are still being ironed out, the law will ensure proper taxation and much needed customer protection which was non-existent in the unregulated environment. Five companies were given temporary licenses so they can set up the shop while waiting for further instructions. State officials in the know believe that the industry has a potential to generate $4 million income on a yearly basis. This money can be used to fund other important projects from the areas of health, education, etc.

The final act of the Rugby League Challenge Cup is scheduled to take place on August 27 at the Wembley Stadium. Hull and Warrington will lock horns in this match that will determine the winner of the Rugby League's oldest and most prestigious competition. The knockout tournament brings together teams from university, community, armed forces and professional clubs. Warrington Emerges as Narrow Favorite In front of a sold-out crowd, the Warrington Wolves will try to defeat Hull FC for the first time in 2016. Both attempts this year failed, but even so bookmakers credit them with the first chance to triumph. 888 Sport offers by far the best odds at 13/10 with Winner Sports only offering 4/5 for this outcome. The odds of the match ending undecided are slim, but savvy punters can’t rule out this possibility either. Two of the last four matches resulted in lopsided victories, but the other two were narrow margin wins. The two teams are evenly matched and the pressure on playing on Wembley Stadium will also have a significant impact on their performance. With no major injuries, they will be able to field the best starting formation and give opponents a run for their money. Even Value on Hull FC Warrington Wolves had a couple of tough opponents to beat recently and barely emerged victorious. By comparison, Hull won its games easily and even managed to shut down its opponents twice in a row. They have scored a combined 82 points while keeping clean sheets against the Catalans Dragons and Widnes Viking. That’s why the even odds offered by bet365, William Hill and 10bet on them to triumph are so tempting. All three bookmakers are regarding Warrington Wolves as narrow favorites and price them accordingly at 4/5. Value is definitely with Hull, especially after them winning both fixtures this year and having a slightly better head to head record.
