British and Irish iGaming behemoth Flutter Entertainment has announced that its decision to temporarily pull out of the newly-regulated market of the Netherlands could cost it up to £10 million ($11.6 million) this year.
The London-listed firm included the revelation in a third-quarter trading update before detailing that this expense could eventually rise to as high as £40 million ($46.3 million) for 2022 even if the country’s Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) regulator grants it a license by the end of next year. The company detailed that it voluntarily suspended its Dutch operations from October 1 after the small nation instituted a new licensing regime that has so far attracted a group of ten rival operators.
Positive postulation:
Previously known as Paddy Power Betfair until undergoing a name-change in early-2020, Flutter Entertainment is responsible for a slew of online casino and sportsbetting domains including Betfair.com, PaddyPower.com and PokerStars.com. The…
In Japan and legislation is set to take effect from Monday that will lay out the basic rules governing the nation’s planned trio of integrated casino resorts as well as the specific duties and responsibilities of the new Casino Management Board regulator.
According to a report from GGRAsia, the Integrated Resorts Implementation Act was ratified in the summer of 2018 and is due to allow three disparate Japanese jurisdictions to host Las Vegas-style developments complete with casinos.

Subsequent schedule:
The enactment of the Integrated Resorts Implementation Act from July 19 reportedly comes after the government of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga completed a public consultation period some ten weeks ago and will allow communities hopi…
The Nintendo Switch is about to have a new Legend of Zelda game on it, though it’s a familiar one for fans of the franchise: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD releases this Friday, July 16, on Switch. An enhanced port of the 2011 Wii game, Skyward Sword HD is still available to preorder, and there are some neat retailer-exclusive bonuses for doing so. If you’re going to preorder, you don’t want to wait–right now, you can still order a physical copy and have it by release day, but only if you order soon. If you’re willing to wait a few days in exchange for a discount, Daily Steals has Skyward Sword HD on sale for $10 off with free shipping, but it doesn’t ship until release day.
In addition to the HD remaster, Nintendo is releasing Zelda-themed Joy-Cons alongside Skyward Sword HD (unfortunately, these have become extremely difficult to find in stock). There are two ways you’ll be able to play Skyward Sword on Switch, and the first method i…

After a bill proposal to legalize online casinos was filed in the New York Senate with an aim to boost the US-largest online market, Gov. Kathy Hochul reportedly released the 2024 Executive Budget to exclude online casinos in the Empire State. As reported by Play NY, Gov. Hochul released the $233 billion Executive Budget on 15 January 2024 to dispel hopes of online gambling proponents until further notice.
$233 Billion Budget:
Hochul said: “This budget makes it clear that fiscal discipline can co-exist with progressive, people-driven policies. I am committed to fight the right fights on behalf of New Yorkers, and to pursue the common good with common sense – by seeking common ground.” The same goal will reportedly be pursued by the lawmakers supporting the bill recently proposed by Sen. Joe Addabbo. His bill S8185 proposing to add online casino gaming and lottery to the state’s online gambling portfolio will be waiting fo…
The United Kingdom has long been one of the world’s premier online gambling markets. Stewarded by the Gambling Commission, the industry has been able to thrive thanks to the strict rules put in place and the balance struck between tight regulation and the free market.

Although, per The Guardian, from the 2026/27 campaign, the brands will be limited to sleeves and hoardings rather than being primary, middle-of-the-shirt sponsors. Even with this, gambling will continue to thrive.
Being such a competitive and relatively open market, spotting the preference trends of UK customers is key for existing brands to remain popular and new brands to break in an…
