(AsiaGameHub) -   Financial services firm Macquarie has voiced strong confidence in the US iGaming sector, pointing to its robust performance during a period of mixed results for sports betting. The iGaming Sector Holds a Strong Position Macquarie noted that US online casino gaming is continuing to grow, even though it has a far smaller regulatory footprint compared to sports betting. While more than half of all US states now offer at least one form of legal betting, only a small number have formally launched iGaming to date. Latest performance data indicates the online gambling sector’s aggregate Q1 EBITDA came in 9% above initial projections, signaling that the industry is healthy and expanding. However, deeper analysis shows that iGaming’s growth rate is outpacing that of sports betting, creating a clear performance gap between different types of operators. Macquarie highlighted Rush Street Interactive (RSI) as one of the sector’s top performers, reporting that its EBITDA surpassed earlier forecasts by 25%. This outcome led the firm to adjust its 2026 outlook, lifting RSI’s EBITDA projections by 9%. By contrast, Super Group beat expectations by 5%, leading to a 1% upward bump to its forecasts. At the same time, major sportsbook brands including DraftKings and Flutter (FanDuel) were forced to cut their full-year EBITDA forecasts. According to Macquarie, this performance gap stems from a range of factors, including challenges sportsbooks face from the prediction markets industry. The firm also named the inherent volatility of sports betting as an additional contributing cause. Industry analysts also noted that the divide points to stronger structural growth and clearer margin visibility for iGaming-focused companies. Data Reveals Disconnect Between Forecast Adjustments and Share Price Movements Meanwhile, Macquarie added that recent results show even minor underperformance can have a disproportionate impact on a company’s share price. It used Sportradar as an example: the firm’s shares dropped 23%, despite only a 1% cut to its projected EBITDA. On the flip side, better-than-expected results generally boost investor confidence, as demonstrated by RSI. A 9% upward revision to RSI’s 2026 projected EBITDA triggered a 22% jump in the company’s share price. However, Macquarie explained that this apparent disconnect between share prices and earnings projections is not caused only by changes to earnings outlooks, but also by a host of other unrelated factors. In any case, Macquarie remains bullish on RSI and has raised the company’s target share price to $30. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   DraftKings has closed its Wrigley Field sportsbook in Chicago, Illinois, attributing the decision largely to escalating tax pressures. The company announced that May 31 marked the venue’s final day of operation. Wrigley Field Sportsbook Closes After Offering Betting for Two Years Located adjacent to Wrigley Field—the home stadium of Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs—the sportsbook debuted its bar and restaurant in 2023, with full sports betting services launching the following year. In its official statement, DraftKings confirmed that May 31 would serve as the last day for sports wagering at the location. Moving forward, the lounge will continue operating without sports betting functionality, though patrons may still place bets via the DraftKings mobile app while on-site. DraftKings to Take a More Focused Approach to Investing in the State DraftKings pointed to recent tax policy changes in Illinois as a primary factor behind the closure. Under current regulations, sports betting operators in the state are subject to a gross gaming revenue tax ranging from 20% to 40%, based on their designated tier. This tiered structure requires any sportsbook generating more than $200 million in annual sports betting revenue to pay the higher 40% rate. Already burdened by one of the nation’s highest tax rates, operators faced additional strain last year when Illinois imposed a per-bet fee: 25 cents on each of the first 20 million wagers annually, and 50 cents on every wager thereafter. The situation was further exacerbated by Chicago’s recent implementation of a 10.25% municipal tax on sports betting revenue—a move that proved decisive for DraftKings, prompting the discontinuation of its Wrigley Field betting operations. DraftKings acknowledged its partnership with the Chicago Cubs as a point of pride but indicated it would now adopt a “more focused approach” to its investments within Illinois. DraftKings Poised for Growth Despite challenges in Illinois, Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon recently voiced strong confidence in DraftKings, citing one of the most compelling structural growth narratives in the gambling sector over recent years. This optimism is bolstered by the rapid expansion of the company’s prediction markets platform, DraftKings Predictions. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Revenue increased by 28.3 percent compared to the previous year. US.- Bally’s Corporation has announced its financial results for the first quarter, which concluded on March 31. The company reported consolidated revenue of $755.7 million, marking a 28.3 percent rise year-on-year. The casinos and resorts segment generated $379.7 million in revenue, an increase of 8.1 percent from the prior year. Bally's attributed this growth to the acquisition of The Queen Casino & Entertainment, finalized in February 2025, as well as organic expansion. Adjusted EBITDAR for this segment saw a 1.2 percent increase year-over-year. Bally’s Intralot's B2C revenue reached $239.9 million, up by 31 percent year-on-year. This surge was driven by strong performance in the UK market and the integration of Intralot’s B2C operations. In North America, the Interactive division reported revenue of $60.5 million, a 35.9 percent increase compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting growth in wagering across all its offerings. Adjusted EBITDAR for this segment was negative $7.1 million, an improvement of $0.9 million. Robeson Reeves, Bally’s chief executive officer, highlighted the company's recent milestone: the topping out ceremony for Bally’s Chicago in April. The permanent casino facility is slated to feature approximately 3,400 slot machines, over 170 table games, a 500-room hotel, a 3,000-seat theater, ten dining and beverage establishments, and a public park along the riverfront. The company is also progressing with its Bally’s Bronx project. Key capital allocations and land acquisitions have been finalized to facilitate construction. These include a $500 million payment for the statutory New York license, a $115 million contingent consideration for the golf course concession, and the acquisition of approximately 16 acres of parkland designated for the resort. The projected opening for this development is by 2030. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Monday Powerball draw has transformed another American into a millionaire after a lucky player in Virginia claimed a $2 million Match 5 prize, while the jackpot remains unclaimed and has reached $113 million. Virginia Player Wins $2M via Power Play On Monday, a player in Virginia narrowly missed the Powerball jackpot by correctly matching all winning numbers except the Powerball. Although the player could not win the $101 million jackpot, they secured a Match 5 prize instead. While the standard Match 5 prize is $1 million, the Virginia ticket holder won $2 million thanks to the Power Play feature. For reference, the winning numbers for the May 18 drawing were 4, 13, 34, 61, and 65, plus the red Powerball 12. The Power Play multiplier was 2x. In addition to the $2 million winner in Virginia, several players successfully matched four white numbers and the Powerball. Six such players secured prizes of $50,000 each, while a single player will take home $100,000 instead, thanks to Power Play. Since the jackpot went unclaimed, it has continued to grow and has now reached an estimated $113 million with a cash value of $49.6 million. The next drawing will take place on Wednesday, May 20. Multiple Winners Secured Large Powerball Prizes Recently The $2 million windfall in Virginia follows a $1 million Match 5 win in Georgia, as well as another Match 5 win in California. However, the latter win saw the player win $470,739 instead of the customary $1 million due to the fact that the California Lottery modifies the prizes based on the number of tickets sold. In terms of jackpots, five Powerball jackpots have been won so far in 2026. The two most recent ones include a $143 million prize that was shared by two winners. However, the real highlight of that drawing was dozens of Match 5 prizes, which happened due to winning numbers matching common player patterns. The next drawing saw another jackpot win happen as two separate players won the $20 million jackpot. This was the first time in several years that the jackpot had been won two drawings in a row.

(AsiaGameHub) -   A Michigan woman walked away with a $1,000,000 prize from the Lucky Stars Instant Win game earlier this month, ringing in Cinco de Mayo in thrilling fashion. The state lottery shared details of the win in an official statement, and interviewed the Genesee County winner to share details about how she claimed her prize.  Winner takes home a massive prize after purchasing her winning ticket with winnings from earlier tickets  Recalling the experience, the winner shared that she plays the lottery regularly, but had never planned to stop and buy the winning ticket that day.  “I went out with a friend to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and when she suggested we stop to buy lottery tickets, we did just that,” she told the Michigan Lottery. The woman grabbed a handful of tickets first, spending $30, which she immediately put toward buying more lottery tickets at Liquor Wheel at 4117 Clio Road in Flint. She scratched off the coating right inside the store, and once she realized she’d actually won, she rushed out of the shop with tears streaming down her face — she had claimed the seven-figure grand prize.  Once the initial excitement faded, she naturally chose the most popular option — the one-time lump sum payment, which will let her quickly take care of a few pressing financial loose ends.  The winner has walked away with $693,000 from the lottery and visited the lottery’s headquarters to claim her prize. No official photo opportunity was shared by the lottery, however. The Lucky Stars instant game, which launched just recently, has been performing well, giving players a fresh instant lottery game to enjoy. This article is provided by a third-party.

To support this goal, the prediction market platform has pledged a $2 million, two-year investment toward the NCPG’s programs.

(AsiaGameHub) -   An exclusive report on the igaming landscape in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway has been published by an AI-powered analytics platform. Special report.- Blask, an AI-driven igaming analytics platform, has issued a new exclusive report for Focus Gaming News concerning the Nordic igaming markets. The igaming map illustrates a division, with two markets operating under open competition and two under monopoly control. The report examines the market in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway. “Using Blask Index data, we charted 12 months of demand dynamics and brand competition across all four markets,” it stated. The Blask Index is a real-time metric for market demand volume for igaming brands in a specific country, derived from normalised search data. In Sweden and Denmark, licensed competition reveals a mature open market, characterized by consistent demand, established leaders, and churn in the lower tiers. Finland and Norway are both monopoly markets, though each has distinct characteristics. Open regulated markets Per the study, the Swedish market declined in June, rebounded strongly in July, maintained that elevated level through autumn, then softened in early 2026 before recovering in March. The higher demand from July to November coincides with the football season, which stimulates betting activity market-wide. It indicates that the BAP (brand’s accumulated power) structure is firm at the top and more dynamic beneath it. Blask's BAP metric represents a brand's percentage share of total market demand in a particular country and timeframe. ATG and Svenska Spel collectively represent over half of the total market demand. NV Casino, the sole offshore brand on the list, rose to third position. In Denmark, demand reached a low in June, then recovered as the Danish football season began in July. This increase persisted through autumn before a more pronounced surge in December, likely fueled by winter sports and year-end activity. Early 2026 experienced the anticipated seasonal decline. The findings reveal the brand structure is stable at the top yet more divided than Sweden's. Danske Spil is the leader with Bet365 in second place. Approximately a dozen brands compete within a fairly tight share range, with no distinct third contender. Monopoly markets Finland’s Blask Index remained fairly consistent over the last year, with slight peaks in May, September, and December. “That steadiness mirrors a market where one established operator commands more than half of total demand. This may be temporary: Finland is set to open its market to licensed competition in July 2027, and that structural change will likely bear little resemblance to the controlled patterns seen here,” the report continued. Veikkaus occupies a dominant position, with Paf remaining a distant second. The remainder of the market is thinly dispersed across a lengthy roster of brands. Norway’s market is the most strictly regulated of the four, the report noted. The Blask Index stayed restrained for most of the period, with demand rising in autumn and in March 2026, corresponding with the nation's football season. Overall demand remained lower and more constrained than in the open Nordic markets. The platform stated: “Norway enforces a strict monopoly. The regulator proactively blocks offshore operators — and by Nordic standards, the enforcement is rigorous.” Norsk Tipping still controls nearly three-quarters of total market demand, despite ceding some share over the past year. “Stake, Roobet, and Rainbet all gained slightly at the edges. The monopoly persists, but the leakage is apparent and increasing,” it said. What comes next The study concludes that Sweden and Denmark demonstrate that open competition yields stable demand, firmly rooted leaders, and a competitive middle layer that continually rotates without upsetting the top. Finland and Norway exemplify the practical reality of monopoly control: concentrated demand, one dominant operator, and restricted opportunity for others. By 2027, the Nordic landscape will have changed. The report indicates Norway's monopoly is holding firm but is gradually losing share to offshore brands. Finland is intentionally moving the opposite way: the licensing process is underway, the monopoly period for online segments is concluding, and the existing brand hierarchy should be viewed primarily as a baseline.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Sporttrade has announced its decision to cease its online sports betting operations in the US, with its US-facing platform scheduled to close on June 26. This move appears to represent a reversal from Sporttrade's prior efforts to obtain CFTC approval for its prediction market products. Sporttrade to Exit the US OSB Market on June 26 Sporttrade, which had previously appeared optimistic about its US expansion, has made a significant shift in strategy by announcing the discontinuation of its online sports betting markets. According to a company announcement made on May 15, all betting activities on Sporttrade will conclude on May 25. The company clarified that players in New Jersey will have until this date to withdraw their funds. However, players located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, and Virginia will have until June 25 to do so. Sporttrade also confirmed that June 26 will be the final date for all platform access for all users. The company stated that any players who have not withdrawn their funds by this date will receive checks mailed to their registered addresses. Sporttrade Sought Traditional Regulation Sporttrade's experience in the US market suggests that being ahead of the curve can sometimes be detrimental. The company had consistently aimed to offer a prediction market-style product. However, its US launch predated the establishment of the CFTC-regulated prediction markets sector, compelling it to pursue licenses typically associated with traditional gambling operators. Once the CTFC framework was established, Sporttrade's competitors were effectively permitted to operate nationwide, placing the company at a significant disadvantage. Subsequently, Sporttrade submitted an application to the CFTC, seeking designation as a contract market and derivatives clearing organization. At the time, Sporttrade's leadership highlighted that CFTC approval would enhance the company's operational efficiency and enable it to continue offering its products in a secure and transparent environment. However, the CFTC approval process proved to be both time-consuming and expensive. Prediction Markets Are a Point of Contention Meanwhile, prediction markets continue to be a subject of debate in the US, with many established gambling industry regulators, stakeholders, and tribal gaming organizations expressing concerns regarding the sector's rapid expansion. In addition to reservations about the CFTC-based regulatory structure, numerous parties have voiced worries about the potential for insider trading. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   A fresh wave of allegations is drawing renewed scrutiny to prediction markets, following blockchain analysts' discovery of a seemingly highly coordinated string of lucrative wagers linked to U.S. military operations in Iran. Research by analytics firm Bubblemaps shows that nine interconnected Polymarket accounts jointly earned $2.4 million by precisely forecasting sensitive geopolitical developments. The Accounts Attempted to Mimic Normal Behavior According to a recent CBS report, the suspicious trading activity occurred around U.S. military actions in late February, fueling concerns that confidential information may be leaking onto prediction platforms. Bubblemaps states that the implicated accounts were set up just days before the initial American strikes. These wallets demonstrated a nearly flawless record on events related to Iran, correctly anticipating the timing of military strikes, leadership changes, and a temporary ceasefire agreement. Beyond their remarkable accuracy, the accounts also displayed a consistent pattern: each included small losing bets, typically under several hundred dollars, scattered throughout their trading history. Investigators believe these losses were a deliberate tactic to simulate ordinary user behavior and evade detection, while their larger wagers were consistently well-placed. We identified nine connected Polymarket accounts that collectively made $2.4 million by betting almost exclusively on U.S. military operations. Nicolas Vaiman, Bubblemaps CEO Nicolas Vaiman, CEO of Bubblemaps, noted that determining the nationality of these accounts is almost impossible without direct confirmation from Polymarket. The sole identifying detail was one account’s username, “whopperlover.” Nonetheless, the group’s trading behavior has remained consistent, concentrating almost entirely on speculating about U.S. involvement in Iran. The Regulatory Response Remains Slow and Largely Ineffective Bubblemaps’ investigation found that millions in profits were funneled to centralized exchanges like Bybit, Binance, and HTX, frequently routed through intermediary services to obscure the transaction trail. These methods have complicated efforts to determine whether the accounts belong to a single individual or a coordinated network. This revelation comes on the heels of a recent case in which a U.S. soldier stationed at Fort Bragg was arrested after being charged with exploiting insider information to profit from military actions in Venezuela. Platforms such as Polymarket maintain they merely offer a venue for price discovery, where users act based on their own beliefs and publicly available information. Yet, these two incidents raise concerns that prediction markets may be emerging as a favored channel for insider trading. The growing controversy has prompted some lawmakers to call for tighter regulations on prediction markets, while others argue that current financial laws already address such misconduct. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has pledged to pursue traders who misuse improperly obtained data. However, the agency acknowledged that not all informed trading constitutes illegality, leaving room for potential exploitation. This article is provided by a third-party.
