(AsiaGameHub) –   The momentum behind the Maryland sweepstakes bill seems to have faded, as the state’s legislative sessions concluded without a formal decision on the bill’s passage.

Two key opportunities to ban dual-currency sweepstakes arose: the House of Delegates passed two separate bills in 2026 that would have prohibited such sweepstakes.

The Social Gaming Leadership Alliance (SGLA) celebrated the lack of progress on the bill, claiming there had been “false allegations” driven by casino interests.

SGLA Managing Director Sean Ostrow said: “We are pleased with this result in Maryland and want to thank the Maryland lawmakers who took the time to thoroughly consider this issue.”

“Over multiple hearings and dozens of meetings, SGLA addressed false allegations by casino interests by demonstrating that the Social Plus industry already offers strong consumer protections and contributes to Maryland’s economy, while pushing back against efforts to misrepre…

(AsiaGameHub) –   New data outlining the trajectory of black market advertising spending has ramped up calls for the UK government to take action.

Forecasts from marketing intelligence firm WARC indicate that by September 2026, regulated gambling operators will account for just over 53% of UK gambling ad spend. However, the balance is set to shift in favor of the unregulated sector as early as 2028.

Total advertising spending in the 12 months from October 2025 to September 2026 is projected to hit £1.9bn, with regulated operators contributing £1.05bn — a 9.2% drop compared to the prior year.

Legacy media will face the sharpest cuts to gambling ad spend, with expenditures set to fall by as much as £45m, or 11.5%, per WARC, driven by higher production costs and longer lead times for campaigns.

Online advertising expenditure across video, social and search formats is also set to decline by 7.1%, or £33m, by September 2026.

In contrast, black market ad spending is expected …

(AsiaGameHub) –   Robeson Reeves, CEO of Bally’s Intralot, explained the markets that drew the company’s attention when the chance to bid for evoke arose.

During the operator’s recent FY2025 earnings call, Reeves noted that Italy—with its entry barriers—wasn’t an initial standout for Bally’s Intralot, though it does hold appeal for the firm.

Earlier this week, Bally’s Intralot confirmed it’s in talks with evoke about a potential offer for all of the company’s issued and soon-to-be-issued share capital at 50 pence per share, totaling approximately £225 million.

Reeves continued: “Romania is a desirable market and was on our radar. There’s also a complementary angle—evoke is a solid player in Spain, and we already have a footprint there, so that makes sense.

“For any M&A opportunity, you need to consider all factors holistically. We have to follow all proper procedures. I see these deals as a way to sp…
