    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When the UK’s gambling statistics recorded another sharp increase in gaming machine revenue from licensed bingo premises, critics were quick to identify a troubling trend with one gambling harm campaigner suggesting bingo was a ‘trojan horse’ for gaming machine operations. Indeed, according to the latest Gambling Commission figures released recently, gaming machines generated £461.7 million in gross gambling yield for bingo operators during the year to March 2026, compared with £242.1 million fr

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Lottomatica remains the Italian online market leader, but New York-based investment bank Jefferies believes its position faces a growing challenge from the combined might of Flutter’s Sisal and SNAI brands. The latest deep dive from the analysts puts Lottomatica at 30% of Italian online GGR in Q1, with Flutter already close behind on 27%.
