Gamblers in the UK and some other regions are increasingly turning to non GamStop sportsbooks that accept crypto as a way to bypass traditional limitations, enjoy greater privacy, and access a wider range of betting markets.

The British horseracing sector is bracing for major disruption as the UK Treasury considers a tax overhaul that could align the betting levy across all gambling activities. If implemented, the change would eliminate the current distinction between horseracing wagers and online casino gaming, effectively treating both under the same taxation framework.

Potential Financial Losses and Job Cuts According to analysis commissioned by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), the proposal could result in a minimum annual funding loss of £66 million. This funding shortfall would…

McLaren have been warned that they need to make Lando Norris their number one driver from the start of the 2025 season if they want to win the championship. The Woking-based team had a competitive car last year, but Max Verstappen ultimately won his fourth world championship due to Norris frequently losing positions on the opening lap and due to Oscar Piastri taking points away from him.

Jones therefore appears to be a backup option, in the event they’re unable to…

The Sports Betting Alliance (SBA) has labeled the budget as an “extremely disappointing decision that will cause real harm.” The proposed budget nearly triples the tax rate for the most profitable operators. The version of the budget passed by the senate on Sunday diverges from the house proposal. If enacted, Illinois would become the second-most expensive state for wagering operators, with the highest adjusted gross revenue operators facing a 40% tax. Only New York’s 51% rate is higher for a competitive market. The tax vehicle is HB 4951, which originally did not include the progressive sports betting tax when approved…
