ESIC imposes five-year ban on player for esports betting violations

(AsiaGameHub) - A professional esports competitor has been suspended for four years following allegations of match-fixing. Dmytro “nifee” Tediashvili has been penalized by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) after a probe into his Counter-Strike 2 career revealed proof of match-fixing and corruption linked to betting. The matches under scrutiny, which were analyzed with assistance from esports data company Runestone, took place during the ESL Pro League Season in October 2025. The investigation noted a sequence of anomalous betting trends, along with ESIC's determination that the player's in-game conduct was not consistent with standard competitive play. A rigorous investigative protocol was followed by ESIC and Runestone, involving the detection of the questionable betting, an analysis of match recordings, discussions with external specialists, interviews with those involved in the games, and the solicitation of pertinent statements. Reports indicate that Tediashvili initially refuted the claims but later conceded that wrongdoing had occurred and cooperated with the inquiry. Consequently, ESIC has determined that the player's actions violated its Anti-Corruption Code by intentionally manipulating events within the game for gambling gains, thereby threatening the integrity of the esports contest. As a result, the anti-corruption body has indicated that additional disciplinary measures could follow. The ban is in effect from 21 October 2025 until 20 October 2029, prohibiting Tediashvili from participating in any role at all events sanctioned by ESIC. In concluding its statement, the integrity organization highlighted that proposition markets in esports—similar to in-play bets in traditional sports—are a major worry for regulators because they are the most vulnerable to manipulation, unlike bets on final match results. Nevertheless, it provided reassurance of its ongoing dedication to collaborating with firms such as Runestone to identify these threats promptly and address them efficiently, aiming to maintain strong confidence in esports betting.

Sweden adopts more stringent measures against illegal gambling iGame

Sweden adopts more stringent measures against illegal gambling

(AsiaGameHub) - On March 31, 2026, the Swedish government received a full proposal from Spelinspektionen – Sweden’s official gambling licensing regulator – outlining plans to restrict access to unlicensed remote gambling services. The proposal covers both legal and practical enforcement measures intended to more effectively curb unlicensed offshore operators from offering services to Swedish nationals. Under current legislation, enforcement actions are only permitted when an unlicensed operator actively markets its services in Sweden, for example by using the Swedish language and/or offering payment options that accept Swedish Krona. As a result, carrying out enforcement work is very difficult at present. The proposal will revise this existing rule and roll out the “Participant Criteria”. This set of criteria will expand regulatory scope to cover all operators that deliver services via their websites to Swedish residents. As a component of the Participant Criteria, multiple technical measures also need to be rolled out: Geo-blocking to restrict access requests originating from Sweden Sending automated warning notifications to users subject to access restrictions Full service refusal if a user’s location cannot be confirmed In addition to the measures listed above, further limitations include blocking users who attempt to bypass the restrictions by using a VPN or other similar tools. Other methods to restrict access for Swedish citizens include: Removing Sweden from the list of countries whose residents are eligible to register for accounts Blocking Swedish residential addresses, postal codes, and phone numbers with the +46 country prefix Stopping any transactions that involve banks based in Sweden Rejecting deposit or withdrawal requests processed through Swedish financial institutions Operators are required to clearly state in their terms of service that Swedish users are not permitted to access their platforms, but regulators emphasize that legal wording alone is not sufficient without supporting technical enforcement. In addition, all marketing content that can be accessed by Swedish audiences must be halted. The proposed changes are designed to close existing regulatory loopholes and build a more effective system for addressing unlicensed gambling. If put into effect, Sweden will transition to a stricter, technology-focused enforcement model that centers on access controls rather than proof of marketing intent.

Superbet Commences Sports Betting and iGaming in Greece iGame

Superbet Commences Sports Betting and iGaming in Greece

(AsiaGameHub) - Superbet has officially launched its sports betting and gambling platform in Greece, marking another key step forward in the company's European expansion strategy. The operator has announced that it will prioritize coverage of local sporting events and active interaction with local communities for its Greek operations. To achieve this goal, Superbet has assembled a dedicated local team to handle day-to-day operations, while its "Supersocial" feature will improve user connection and boost engagement during betting activities. John Kalamvokis, General Manager of Superbet Greece, stated: We are only writing the opening chapter of a future success story, which will unfold through high-impact partnerships and community-focused programs. Greece is growing into an increasingly sought-after market for operators, with roughly €1.2 billion (€1,200,000) in gross gaming revenue (GGRs) generated in the market at present, and the figure is expected to keep rising in the future. Greek GGR is expanding at a 15% compound annual growth rate each year, with around 20 licensed brands competing for market share in the space. The leading operator in Greece is OPAP with its Stoiximan brand, which holds nearly 50% of the regulated online sports betting market. In addition, Athens has evolved into a regional iGaming operations hub, hosting a number of top-tier technology, trading and operational teams. Superbet's Greek betting platform provides sports betting options across multiple major sports including football, basketball and tennis, supporting both pre-game and live wagers. The company has confirmed that its gaming products comply with all national regulations and are fully tailored to the local user experience. Adam Lamentowicz, CCO for Central and Eastern Europe at Superbet, commented: This is far more than a standard market entry. It is a long-term commitment to build the most engaging entertainment ecosystem in the country, and to bring people closer through the excitement and shared passion for sporting competitions.

This decision is likely to attract attention, as Gibraltar is now among a small number of European jurisdictions permitting prediction markets. This stands in sharp opposition to other European nations such as the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine, France, and Portugal. Due to the debate over whether these platforms constitute gambling, certain prediction businesses have been prohibited in various regions. For instance, the five countries listed have all expelled Polymarket from operating within their borders. Feetham announced the move in Parliament, stating it is part of a wider plan to draw new types of investment and establish Gibraltar as a leader in emerging gaming and fintech markets. “We have licensed a new company operating in the “prediction markets” sector, processing the application in record time following my attendance at Consensus Hong Kong last month,” he said. “This is the pace at which we must act to help offset at least some of the loss of tax revenues following the recent increase in UK Gambling Duty, while continuing to grow our local ecosystem. “We are working relentlessly to protect Gibraltar’s economic interests.” Gibraltar joins predictions hype Prediction markets, where users can trade on the results of real-world events, have become increasingly popular worldwide as tools for both investment and user engagement. Although marketed as financial services, these platforms are often likened to betting exchanges, and some regulatory bodies classify them as a form of gambling. The sector's leading firms, Kalshi and Polymarket, have received mixed reactions alongside a massive surge in user activity and revenue in recent months. Beyond facing scrutiny in Europe, both have been banned in New Zealand, and the Dutch regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), recently ordered Polymarket to stop operations in the Netherlands for offering 'illegal gambling services'. Both companies have also been criticized for listing markets related to war. In the US, the largest market for these services, lawmakers are starting to respond; a bill was introduced to the US Senate last month to prohibit US government officials from trading on such sites. However, the financial potential of prediction markets is evident. The sites handle millions of dollars in wagers, and Kalshi achieved a valuation of $22bn (£16.5bn) last month after a funding round exceeding $1bn. It remains unconfirmed if one of the two major prediction market firms will establish operations in Gibraltar. Other prediction platforms or even traditional iGaming companies looking to expand into this area might also target the jurisdiction. This trend is not unusual; FanDuel and DraftKings have launched their own prediction platforms in the US, and the UK betting exchange Matchbook declared its plan to do the same last year, though with a primary focus on the US market. Regardless, it is apparent that Gibraltar's leaders are intent on diversifying the territory's gaming and fintech economy as they prepare for the consequences of the new UK tax regime, which takes effect today. The UK is a primary market for most gaming companies based in Gibraltar. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

GR8 Tech Welcomes José Mourinho to Champions Club Alongside Oleksandr Usyk iGame

GR8 Tech Welcomes José Mourinho to Champions Club Alongside Oleksandr Usyk

(AsiaGameHub) - As previously reported by SBC News, GR8 Tech has secured football legend José Mourinho, the former manager of Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid, and current head coach of Benfica, as the newest brand ambassador for its Champions Club initiative. In this interview, we speak with the company's CEO, Oleksandr Feshchenko, to gain deeper insight into the collaboration with 'The Special One,' who now stands alongside undisputed heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk in the Champions Club. Feshchenko explains why Mourinho was the ideal candidate to represent the campaign's message and highlights the core parallels he identifies between elite sports professionals and leading technology firms. Why did GR8 Tech choose José Mourinho to the Champions Club? GR8 Tech CEO Oleksandr Feshchenko – Image Source: GR8 Tech Mourinho is a figure who has achieved success at the pinnacle of one of the world's most fiercely competitive arenas, accomplishing this feat with various teams in different leagues and across different periods. This level of achievement is exceptionally uncommon. His distinction comes not merely from the silverware but from the methodology behind the victories: meticulous preparation, strategic acumen, and an unwavering commitment to high performance. This philosophy resonated with us as it reflects our own approach to business. We focus not on a single breakthrough but on constructing systems and technologies that yield reliable outcomes consistently, regardless of external pressures or the specific markets they serve. When the chance to collaborate with José arose, the mutual alignment was immediately apparent. What does Mourinho add to the Champions Club? Jose Mourinho is a GR8 Tech brand ambassador – Image source: GR8 Tech He strengthens and expands upon the foundation we have already laid. Our partnership with Usyk established a powerful identity centered on a world champion who embodies discipline, thorough preparation, and hard-earned success. Mourinho introduces another facet of this same core belief. His entire career demonstrates that long-term winning is never a product of chance, luck, or coincidence. It requires constructing effective systems, strategic intelligence, and persistent high standards. This "no luck" principle is a theme shared by both ambassadors and is fundamental to GR8 Tech's operational ethos and partner offerings. Featuring two elite personalities from distinct sports who share an identical competitive mindset amplifies our message and increases its impact. It also provides access to new audiences and dialogues that a solitary partnership, however strong, could not achieve independently. What is the criteria to be the perfect Champions Club member? The requirements are simple. We seek individuals who have performed at the absolute highest level and whose careers are founded on discipline, consistency, and a relentless drive to improve. It's about mindset as much as innate ability. Authenticity is also crucial. The collaboration must be a natural fit for all parties, and the individual must have a sincere connection to the values GR8 Tech promotes. If the partnership seems contrived, the public will recognize it instantly. We prefer a select group of ambassadors who genuinely embody the brand over a lengthy roster that appears impressive but is ultimately superficial. How has the industry responded to the Champions Club? The most telling measure is our commercial activity. Our discussions with operators, including both current and prospective partners, have become more focused, frequent, and ambitious. The Champions Club provides a clear picture of GR8 Tech's principles, which directly influences our market engagement. The increasing number of alliances within the Champions Club is evidence of its success. However, the key point is that our commercial achievements are based on more than just ambassadors; they result from the synergy of robust technology, expert partner support, and a unifying brand identity. The Champions Club reinforces this message, and the positive market reaction validates our strategy. Who might be joining the Champions Club next? We have expansive plans for the Champions Club and will leverage all available platforms to ensure these partnerships are highly visible and influential. The objective extends beyond announcing new members to creating tangible activations that strengthen the GR8 Tech brand message. Currently, the most exciting aspect is having two world-class figures in the Champions Club, each contributing unique qualities. There is significant potential in uniting these distinct worlds, and we are actively developing initiatives to do so. Further details will be revealed at the appropriate time. What I can confirm is that the Champions Club is designed for expansion, and our momentum will continue. This article is provided by a third-party.

Entain Closes Irish Ladbrokes Stores as Sales Talks Fail to Progress iGame

Entain Closes Irish Ladbrokes Stores as Sales Talks Fail to Progress

(AsiaGameHub) - Entain hasn’t made any progress toward selling its Irish Ladbrokes assets, as discussions about a potential sale concluded without an agreement, SBC News has learned. Last June, reports emerged that Entain was considering offloading its Irish Ladbrokes assets to Irish bookmaker Bar One Racing. SBC News understands these talks ultimately fizzled out with no resolution. Multiple sources have reported, and Entain has confirmed, that the company is moving forward with closing several shops in Ireland. A source also noted that Ladbrokes Ireland has kept closures to a minimum so far. This week’s store adjustments come amid broader restructuring efforts across the UK and Irish betting and gaming sectors. “We regularly assess our retail locations to ensure our business remains competitive and financially viable,” a Ladbrokes spokesperson told SBC News. “These planned closures in the Republic of Ireland are not a decision we take lightly; they reflect ongoing cost pressures, long-term shifts in customer behavior, and the growing competitive threat from the unlicensed market. “Our current priority is to engage collaboratively with colleagues throughout the consultation process, with a strong focus on redeploying staff wherever possible. Ladbrokes remains committed to Ireland and to operating responsibly within a sustainable retail footprint.” Reviews underway Ladbrokes currently operates over 2,700 locations across the UK and Ireland, including 108 active shops in Ireland and 66 in Northern Ireland. However, Entain’s latest financial report revealed that total UK&I retail revenue fell 2% year-over-year, while sports betting revenue across its retail estate dropped by 3%. While the UK and Ireland are separate markets with distinct legislative and regulatory frameworks for gambling, they are closely intertwined, with several of the same firms active in both—Entain, Flutter, evoke, Super Group, and bet365, to name a few. April 1 marks the first day the Remote Gaming Duty (RGD) rises from 21% to 40%, as promised by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves in last November’s Autumn Budget. This time next year, the General Betting Duty (GBD) will also increase from 15% to 25%. Against the backdrop of the UK’s current tax landscape, Entain’s decision to close part of its UK&I retail portfolio aligns with a broader cost-cutting trend in the market. The firm is not alone in reviewing its options amid mounting financial pressure. William Hill owner evoke has chosen to close over 200 UK shops as part of a group-wide strategic review launched in December 2025—one month after the tax hikes were announced. Flutter Entertainment is also exploring mitigation measures, with a restructuring of Paddy Power’s marketing department revealed to SBC News last week. This article is provided by a third-party.

UK Freezes Valuable Assets of Unmasked Chinese Gambling Fugitive iGame

UK Freezes Valuable Assets of Unmasked Chinese Gambling Fugitive

(AsiaGameHub) - After Jiangbo was identified as a major international gambling figure connected to illegal gambling operations, UK authorities have seized a large number of high-value assets that are allegedly acquired with proceeds from criminal activity. Jiangbo has not been charged with any crime in the UK yet, but the investigation into his gambling operations has ordered him to provide evidence proving how he obtained the ownership of these properties. The involved assets include 85 properties located in London, which are reported to have been purchased via “golden passports”. Evidence related to these purchases shows a serious risk of violations within the anti-money laundering (AML) framework. Under UWO legislation, Jiangbo is required to prove the source of the funds used for these purchases, and investigators hold that part of his wealth can be traced back to illegal cross-border online gambling activities operated through offshore networks. A statement released by Cambodia’s Interior Ministry reads: As part of cooperation against transnational crime and in accordance with a request from the relevant authorities of the People’s Republic of China, authorities of the Kingdom of Cambodia have arrested three Chinese nationals Chen Zhi, Xu Ji Liang and Shao Ji Hui, and extradited them to the People’s Republic of China. As reported by OCCRP and The Times, this case reflects how the global illegal gambling black market continues to operate, partly driven by consumer demand in regions where gambling is banned. It is estimated that most of these illegal gambling operations are based in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia and the Philippines. This article is provided by a third-party.

New York Proposes Prohibition on Artificial Intelligence in Sports Betting Advertisements iGame

New York Proposes Prohibition on Artificial Intelligence in Sports Betting Advertisements

(AsiaGameHub) - The New York State Gaming Commission is considering a series of new regulations designed to significantly bolster protections for sports bettors across the state. Regulators in New York aim to safeguard bettors from developing gambling addiction and to restrict access to the sports betting market for underage individuals. Should these proposals be adopted, licensed betting operators would be prohibited from utilizing artificial intelligence to target and customize betting offers. Operators would be mandated to identify at-risk players and curtail direct marketing towards them, in addition to implementing a formal intervention program. Furthermore, each operator would need to establish a system to automatically flag these players and initiate an intervention process based on specific behavioral indicators, including but not limited to excessive deposits, numerous canceled withdrawals, and an unusually sharp increase in betting activity. Governor Kathy Hochul said: Mobile sports wagering is ubiquitous, luring everyone, including our youth, to place bets without adequately considering the repercussions. We require robust regulatory safeguards to deter those under 21 from gambling, prevent artificial intelligence from exploiting gamblers, and mandate sports wagering operators to implement genuine measures if one of their customers exhibits signs of gambling harm. Regulators are also exploring the potential use of biometric identification to help prevent underage gambling and enhance account security through face recognition or fingerprints. This comes alongside efforts to establish more stringent geolocation controls and impose penalties on individuals who allow underage minors to access a sports betting site or a physical betting location. NYSGC Chair Brian O’Dwyer said in a statement: As Governor Hochul accurately noted: No other form of gambling has infiltrated our collective awareness quite like sports wagering, and vulnerable youth are continually exposed to the practice. Following her guidance, we have identified further methods to protect our young people, assist those in moments of crisis, and ensure legalized, regulated gaming remains safe for all New Yorkers. We anticipate public feedback on these crucial proposals. The draft regulations are presently open for public comment until 12 PM in mid-May, as New York places player protection at the forefront of its expanding sports betting industry.

Gaming Realms Posts 10% Revenue Increase in 2025, Driven by Licensing Division Growth iGame

Gaming Realms Posts 10% Revenue Increase in 2025, Driven by Licensing Division Growth

(AsiaGameHub) - Gaming Realms achieved a robust performance in 2025, with revenue increasing by 10% compared to the previous year, reaching £31.4 million. This growth is attributed to consistent demand in regulated markets and ongoing expansion through the introduction of new partners. The Licensing division was the primary driver of the company's growth, generating £27.6 million in revenue, a 13% increase. This division also saw an improvement in profitability, with adjusted EBITDA rising by 15% to £15 million, and margins expanding to 48%. The company reported a profit before tax of £8.8 million and a 32% increase in cash, bringing its total cash reserves to £17.8 million, positioning it as a debt-free and financially agile entity. Operationally, the Group enhanced its Slingo portfolio by developing 12 new titles internally and creating eight customized versions for specific markets. Furthermore, the Group forged partnerships with 40 new operators across North America, Europe, South America, and Africa. The North American market remained a significant contributor, accounting for 63% of total Licensing revenue, and the number of players participating in the Licensing segment grew by 22%. In addition, the Group made substantial progress in diversifying its product offerings. This included the launch of Lucky Lunar Studio, a new development studio focused on creating traditional slot games, and the expansion of its third-party product range through a collaboration with S Gaming. Concurrently, performance in the UK improved throughout the year, with disruptions from recent regulatory changes beginning to stabilize before the year's end. The company is maintaining its positive trajectory into 2026 with planned market entries in Peru, Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, alongside continued efforts to expand into Canada and the USA. Early indications for the year show that Licensing revenues have already surpassed last year's total, benefiting from a strong pipeline of new content and a sustained focus on developing regulated markets.

William Hill set to shut 200 outlets as tax burdens rise iGame

William Hill set to shut 200 outlets as tax burdens rise

(AsiaGameHub) - William Hill is set to close approximately 200 of its physical betting shops by May 24th of this year, potentially impacting up to 1,500 jobs. This reduction accounts for about 14% of William Hill's total retail presence and signifies the company's response to intensified financial pressures, which have led to higher operating expenses within the UK market. The parent company, Evoke, stated that this decision was made after a strategic assessment, citing increased taxes and operational costs as the primary drivers. Evoke also indicated that support would be provided to affected employees, emphasizing the necessity of concentrating on viable locations. Evoke, the parent company, provided the following explanation: Following a comprehensive review and in light of increased cost pressures on the regulated sector, including substantial tax hikes announced by the Government in last year’s Autumn Budget, we will be closing a number of shops that are no longer financially viable from May. We are committed to offering our full support to our retail colleagues affected by these closures. While these decisions are never made lightly, we must act in response to rising cost pressures to ensure we can continue to invest in our core retail operations, with the right shops in the most suitable locations. In addition to these store closures, new UK tax legislation, effective April 1st, will raise the Remote Gaming Duty from 21% to 40%, with further increases to betting duties planned for the following year.

Following the sale of all remaining assets, shareholders approved the delisting of the company's shares during a special general meeting on March 30, 2023. Scout's final action will be to distribute its ImpactWin shares to stockholders before initiating a voluntary liquidation process.
