(AsiaGameHub) -   The recent reforms in taxation and governance have not dampened Super Group’s enthusiasm for the Nigerian market. The group’s Chief Executive Officer, Neal Menashe, updated investors yesterday, highlighting that momentum is building in Africa as it continues to expand its footprint and maintain progress despite regulatory challenges. After recently visiting Nigeria, Menashe stated, ‘currency flows are improving in the country,’ which represents a significant boost for the operator’s position in the market. He stressed that the company aims to double or even triple its business size in Nigeria while ensuring its product strategy remains aligned with the market’s needs.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has announced a comprehensive overhaul of its cashback regulations as part of new promotional guidelines aimed at ensuring fair competition across the country’s gaming sector. Effective immediately, operators are restricted from offering cashback on e-games exceeding 15% of a player’s net losses. For slots, e-bingo, numeric games, and sports betting, maximum cash rebates are capped at 1.5% of either the player’s turnover or deposit amount. Going forward, all cash rebates and cashback payouts must be classified as “expenses incurred during gaming operations,” rather than being recorded as direct losses.

Years of conflict in Syria have resulted in significant displaced Syrian communities in neighbouring countries and across many European nations. As with many other minority communities, immigrant communities are at higher risk of gambling harm, with religious, social, cultural and linguistic barriers depressing engagement with support services. As part of work towards a partnership with a European regulatory agency, BetBlocker was able to prioritise the roll out of support for Syrian Arabic speaking communities to support the diaspora Syrian communities living across Europe. Founder and Trustee for BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, offered these comments: “I’m always really happy when BetBlocker can line-up priorities for where our work for mature markets also facilitates us extending protections to populations that are under served. Our project to deliver Ukrainian as apart of the Improving Outcomes for Minority Communities fund via GambleAware in the UK was a great example of a project that met the needs of the UK fundin...
