🇬🇧 Entain has called on the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) to review its trade mark registration process after identifying at least 14 unlicensed operators that had secured trade mark rights. In a letter sent to IPO chief executive and comptroller-general Adam Williams, Entain group general counsel and chief customer care officer Simon Zinger said operators serving British consumers without a licence were still able to secure UK trade mark registrations. Entain said it had reviewed a sample of 18 gambling brands that it believed were serving UK consumers without a Gambling Commission licence and found that 14 did not hold a valid operating licence. The operator argued that the issue highlighted a potential gap between gambling regulation and the UK's intellectual property regime. Sponsored message Multiply your reach. Tap into NEXT.io Media.

🇳🇱 The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has hit operator 711 with an €886,000 fine for failing to comply with duty of care requirements. After an investigation into 10 different player files, the KSA found that 711 had not intervened sufficiently to protect users from gambling harms. All 10 of the files threw up breaches of the Netherlands’ Gambling Act and are said to have taken place between 2022 and 26 June 2024. The KSA’s sanction report claims that 711 failed to take sufficient measures to prevent excessive gambling and addiction in each case. On top of being found to have failed to identify signals of potential gambling harm, the report explains that 711 had acted contrary to its own stated policy, which suggests that the RG team must request a risk analysis if a player loses €2,500.

👀 Gambling Commission director of enforcement and intelligence John Pierce has warned AI-powered compliance systems are “too often” failing to meet anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. Speaking this week at the Gambling Anti-Money Laundering Group (GAMLG) Conference in London, Pierce made clear the regulator was not opposed to the use of AI and other new technologies for AML purposes, but urged operators to ensure the technology is delivering effective outcomes before it is rolled out. “We aren’t ideologically against the use of new technology in your processes,” he said. “But you need to be sure they are doing what is required and the evidence we’ve seen so far is too often they simply aren’t delivering. If your business is considering this type of approach, make sure it’s delivering compliance before you launch it. We have seen improvements but there is more to do.” Sponsored message Multiply your reach. Tap into NEXT.io Media.

🇫🇮 Proposed draft regulations for the Finnish market include €20 slot limits, a ban on autoplay, and mandatory 15-minute player reminders. The proposals, published by Finland's Ministry of the Interior, form part of the country's transition from its long-standing monopoly system to a licensed online gambling market. A consultation on the draft decrees will remain open until 5 August, after which the rules will be finalised ahead of the new regime's planned launch in 2027. While the draft includes a range of player protection requirements, industry attention is expected to focus on the autoplay ban, mandatory gameplay reminders and the level of proposed stake limits for online casino products.

📈 Flutter Entertainment’s share price has rocketed in recent days, after FanDuel announced it was letting go of staff across numerous roles. The Flutter-owned US betting giant has not confirmed the exact number of staff let go in this latest round of layoffs, but sources familiar with the matter have suggested the figure could be in the hundreds. NEXT.io understands that many of the roles cut are middle-management positions and that the layoffs have been spread across various departments, including both sportsbook and casino. One source told NEXT.io this appeared to be a “money-saving move dressed up as an organisational pivot.” Sponsored message Want to make business in LatAm and Emerging European markets?

👋 Asaf Noifeld has stepped down as managing director of casino at FanDuel after more than four years in the position. Noifeld confirmed the news in a LinkedIn post today (10 June). He had led the FanDuel casino business since May 2022. In his post, Noifeld did not disclose why he is leaving FanDuel, but did say it was the "right moment for the next adventure". He added that he will remain with the business for "a few more months" before moving on. "Over the years, I had the opportunity to work across multiple businesses, countries and teams, including four relocations, and of course the move to the US to join FanDuel. I learned a lot along the way: about products, strategy, leadership, growth, pressure, competition… but mostly about people, and how much can be accomplished when great people are working together as 'ONE TEAM',” he wrote.

📈 DraftKings shares rose 7.59% to $26.66 today after the operator announced strong and growing volumes in its prediction markets offering. The US sports betting giant revealed that annualised total volume traded on its predictions platform reached $3.1bn in May, up 34% month-on-month. Of that total, consumer volume on the predictions platform hit $1.3bn on an annualised basis in May, up 24% month-on-month, as the company said recent app improvements ahead of the NBA Finals had helped streamline access to its unified sports platform. The figures underline DraftKings’ ambition to build a single “super app” spanning sportsbook, lottery, gaming and prediction markets, a strategy the company laid out at its March investor day, where it pointed to a $55bn to $80bn gross revenue opportunity by 2030.

🇫🇮 50 licence applications have been filed ahead of Finland launching its regulated gambling market next summer, according to the country’s National Police Board (NPB). However, the board also warned those applying may not find out if they have been successful for up to six months. “The complexity of processing and evaluating applications is affected by the fact that the majority of applicants are foreign,” said Juha Katainen, senior advisor at the NPB. “We hope that applicants will avoid constantly contacting us about the processing status of their application, as answering enquiries takes time away from processing applications.” Sponsored message Connect now with the #1 Casino Game Aggregator

⚽ GamCare has warned that this summer’s FIFA World Cup could exacerbate gambling-related harm, with the last edition of the tournament leading to an 11% month-on-month increase in people seeking support. The World Cup kicks off later this week, with games taking place across the US, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July. The 2026 tournament will feature more games than ever after the number of competing teams increased from 32 to 48. Gamcare said more games to gamble on in this year’s tournament could lead to an increase in people seeking help. In addition, it said later kick-offs – due to the time difference between the UK and North America – offers more opportunities to “gamble in secrecy”.

🤔 Bally’s Intralot’s acquisition of evoke has been welcomed by analysts for strengthening the William Hill owner’s financial position, though some have questioned whether the enlarged group can deliver the revenue growth needed to unlock the deal’s full potential. While analysts broadly agree with the strategic rationale behind the transaction, they have highlighted a number of risks that could determine its long-term success. These include the performance of the combined business, the impact of UK regulatory changes, and the challenge of meaningful top-line growth. Regulus Partners questioned whether the enlarged group can generate the sustained revenue growth needed to justify the transaction over the long term. “Buying time only works if topline momentum is bought as well,” Regulus said. “And that challenge does not yet have a clear answer.” Sponsored message Want to make business in LatAm and Emerging European markets?
