(AsiaGameHub) -   Light & Wonder has become the latest iGaming company to highlight concerns over how geopolitical uncertainties are affecting the gambling industry. The slot manufacturer estimates that external factors beyond its control, particularly US President Donald Trump’s ongoing trade tariffs on multiple countries and recent adjustments to remote gaming taxation in the UK, will result in a financial impact of $30 million (£22 million). In light of these challenges, Light & Wonder forecasts only single-digit EBITDA growth for 2026. Regarding the UK tax changes—which have already raised remote gaming duty from 21% to 40%—Matt Wilson, Light & Wonder’s President and Chief Executive Officer, assured investors the company is working with operators to manage the effects but acknowledged these shifts would “begin to pressure our growth trajectory.” A multitude of concerns Like many global industries, gaming continues to grapple with the unpredictability introduced by Trump’s inconsistent tariff policies on imports from various nations.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Oklahoma is on the verge of becoming the 11th state to effectively prohibit sweepstakes, pending one final obstacle in the legislative process. The bill’s passage hinges solely on the signature of Governor Kevin Stitt, as growing momentum supports the ban. With only five days remaining, Governor Stitt must decide whether to sign the legislation; if he takes no action, the law will automatically take effect. In the absence of a clear signal from Stitt, there is significant public and political support opposing sweepstakes within the state. Advocates cite consumer protection as a primary reason for advancing the ban, aiming to prevent offshore operators from operating freely in the state. Governor Stitt has previously criticized the broader impact of gambling, even stating that he would eliminate all forms of gambling if he could. While his opposition extends to traditional gambling, he has shown some support for sports betting as a regulated activity. Washington may soon join Oklahoma in banning sweepstakes, aligning with its recent legalization of online casinos through updated regulations. Speaking before policymakers in Washington, D.C., Committee on ...

While Lottomatica currently holds a slight lead with a 31.8% market share compared to Flutter’s 31%, Flutter’s growth trajectory in Italy remains strong.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Gibraltar became the first jurisdiction to issue a license to a prediction market company in April. Slotegrator COO Olga Ivanchik offers her comments on Gibraltar’s decision to be a first mover in a very lucrative space. Envision an online entertainment product with millions of users, whose legal status varies widely across different regions. In countries where it is regulated, clear safety guidelines are established, and significant tax revenues are generated. Conversely, in nations that ban or heavily restrict it, users and associated revenue are pushed offshore. Does this scenario ring a bell? Slotegrator COO Olga Ivanchik This was likely the case for authorities in Gibraltar, who issued a license to prediction market operator ADI Predictstreet at the beginning of April, aiming to boost tax income. This move made Gibraltar the first territory to diverge from the European trend; numerous countries across the continent have banned or blocked platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi. While Gibraltar has taken the lead, it is not acting alone. Malta is currently considering the introduction of a new category of license specifically for prediction markets, acc...
