  • Earlier this month, X, formerly Twiter, was banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country. The row between Brazil and X initially began in April when the platform, and its founder Elon Musk, refused to follow a judge’s ruling to suspend dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.

    And this will be the topic for the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove. Host Joe Streeter, Editor of Casinobeats, is joined by Fernando Noodt and Isadora Marcante from the SBC Noticias team to delve deeper into the implications of Brazil’s X prohibition.

    The trio discuss the significance of the ban, X’s current role in gambling advertising and how this may change following the ban, as well as what this means for the future of social media marketing across other platforms.

    Finally, they consider how the ban will impact the growth of the Brazilian gaming landscape given that we are now just months away from the opening of the regulated online gaming market in the country.

  • Massachusetts regulators broke new ground this week when it hosted a range of speakers to discuss the issue of limiting bettors. They are the first regulator to look into the issue which, depending on who you ask, either affects a miniscule amount of people or is a widespread tactic to ensure any successful bettors can’t wager.

    On the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas, is joined by SBC’s Media Manager, Charlie Horner, to look back on some of the highlights of the discussion.

    The duo also offer their thoughts on the proceedings, delve deeper into some of the numbers revealed during the discussion and ask whether in-game betting is at risk due to the court-siding.

  • The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) begins a new leadership era by welcoming Grainne Hurst as the CEO of the trade and standards body of UK gambling. Announced in April, Hurst succeeds Michael Dugher as CEO, who, as part of a leadership restructure, chose to take on the role of Chairman.

    On the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, SBC News’ Senior Journalist, Viktor Kayed, is joined by Ted Menmuir, SBC’s Content Director, to delve deeper into Hurst’s appointment and discuss how she will represent and guide UK gambling through the concluding phase of the UK gambling review.

    Hurst has maintained that the BGC will prioritise stability, growth and diversity to govern gambling and the duo consider how she will help reshape the trade body’s future vision and values beyond the gambling review, as well as guide the organisation through matters that require the BGC’s input, such as the RET Levy.

  • On the latest episode of the Path to Lisbon limited series, we will be taking a deep dive into the world of payments by looking back at one of the most talked about panels from the SBC Summit North America.

    Titled ‘Payment Leaders Panel: Predicting the tech revolutions of the next 5 years’, industry heavyweights predicted the tech revolutions that would transform the payment landscape over the next five years. With the proliferation of digital payment options offering increased anonymity, convenience and choice, gaming and betting have thrived. But are we truly ready for the next wave of transformation? From decentralized currencies like Bitcoin to advanced AI and hyper-automation, the future holds limitless potential.

    In New Jersey earlier this year, speakers from the likes of Caesars Digital, Nuvei and PXP Financial offered incredible insights on what to expect and as we prepare for SBC Summit Lisbon, many of these predictions remain more relevant than ever.

    This year at SBC Summit Lisbon, the Payment Expert summit in conference room four will focus on the challenges of thriving in mature, regulated markets. Industry experts from leading companies like LeoVegas, Pinnacle, Trustly, and more will debate critical decisions from direct integration to strategic partnerships.

  • In today's episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, the team tackle two headline-grabbing stories.

    Hosted by CasinoBeats' Editor, Joe Streeter, who was joined by Insider Sport Editor, Ted Orme-Claye, the duo delve into two major developments in the global casino industry. First, they explore Thailand's bold step towards legalising casino resorts, following Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat’s announcement that the government will push forward with plans after receiving overwhelming public support. With 80% backing from a recent public hearing, Thailand is poised to introduce its first casino resorts, potentially transforming its tourism and gambling sectors.

    Next, attention turns to Japan, where MGM’s recent decision to waive its right to withdraw from the Japanese casino sector paves the way for a formalised launch of the country’s first casino by 2030. The debut project, valued at around $10bn, is set to open in Osaka and designed to boost the local tourism economy. Ted & Joe discuss how Japan's emerging market is positioning itself as a major player in the global gambling landscape, with MGM’s decision likely accelerating construction.

    To wrap up, the two shift to the massive night in combat sports, where UFC’s event at the Sphere collides with Canelo Álvarez’s fight on the same night. Both explore how this creates a huge opportunity for betting operators, with two blockbuster events drawing bettors in droves. The duo also discuss strategies operators can use to capitalise on this unique moment, including cross-promotions and dual-event parlays, and what it means for broadcasters as they navigate split viewership and advertising opportunities in this rare, high-stakes scenario.

  • As SBC Summit Lisbon draws even closer, attention now turns to the greatest show in gaming.

  • The recent Dutch Formula 1 Grand Prix has highlighted the regulatory sensitivities of gambling sponsorship displayed in sports.

    In the week before the Grand Prix, the Netherlands gambling authority De Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) demanded that Stake.com be removed from the team it sponsors or risk participation.

    On today’s episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Ted Menmuir, SBC’s Content Director was joined by Ted Orme-Claye and Callum Williams from the Insider Sport team to take a look at the reasons behind this development.

    The trio also consider what consequences this could have for gambling operators seeking multi-country sponsorship opportunities, what factors operators need to be aware of when crafting global marketing strategies and if this decision is indicative of the increasing pressure betting companies are facing when it comes to marketing and advertising.

  • SBC’s Multimedia Editor James Ross is flying solo for a special bonus episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove.

    On the agenda for James, a self-proclaimed man who likes to rant, is the rise of fan-led football channels.

    Channels like Arsenal Fan TV and The United Stand rack up millions of views every month and inevitably this has caught the attention of sports betting operators, who now sponsor a number of the channels. The newest addition to the genre is the Adopted Geordies podcast which is sponsored by BetMGM.

    James questions the impact of the channels on football fans given that the majority are run by people without journalism training and also the responsible gambling implications of channel sponsorship by sports betting operators.
