The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has recently raised concerns about several online gambling operators, including Greenspin, Slotman, Jeetcity, Betibet, Candyland Casino, Thunderpick, Golden Lion, Digits 7, Sector 777, New Vegas, and PayID Pokies.

In the existing regulatory landscape of Curaçao, licenses are not bifurcated into B2B (Business-to-Business) and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) distinctions. Instead, both B2B and B2C activities are bundled into a single license category. This single-license type incurs no application fee upfront, with an annual fee of ANG36,000 (£15,958/€18,623/$20,090) and a monthly fee of ANG7,000. Each license encompasses up to 40 domains. However, a new legislative framework known as the LOK draft introduces separate regulations for B2C licenses. Under this forthcoming framework, the B2C license application will necessitate an ANG9,000 fee, along with one-time due diligence charges ranging between ANG250 and ANG500 per…

Apart from Colombia, where it faced stiff competition, opportunities were scarce. Prospects for sports betting regulation in Brazil were dwindling, Argentina’s province-by-province model was progressing slowly, and Peru and Chile were still discussing regulation plans. However, the landscape has since changed…
