In the latest episode of iGaming Daily, host Fernando Noodt is joined by Charlie Horner and Joe Streeter, to analyse William Hill's monumental decision to exit markets including Nigeria, Vietnam, and Bolivia, a move described as "cold hard business". Parent company Evoke is scaling down the UK's oldest gambling brand, choosing to focus Hills on its domestic presence. The trio discuss the reasons behind this shift, including navigating regulatory turbulence and political volatility in global markets, and how Evoke plans to leverage William Hill's strong UK retail portfolio (over 1,300 locations) while relying on the 888 and Mr. Green brands for international online expansion. Additionallly, the three explore whether prioritising the brick-and-mortar segment over international online growth marks a new chapter for the brand.To read more about what was discussed on today's episode, click on the following links:- https://sbcnews.co.uk/europe/2025/11/21/william-hill-13-exit/- https://igamingexpert.com/regions/asia/william-hill-africa-asia-exits/Host: Fernando NoodtGuests: Charlie Horner & Joe StreeterProducer: James RossEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

In this episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Charlie Horner, Ted Orme-Claye, and Joe Streeter, discuss Sky Bet's decision to relocate key commercial and marketing decision-making roles from Leeds to Malta.The primary motivation is tax efficiency. The move is estimated to save Flutter tens of millions in tax. Independent estimates calculate corporation tax savings alone at approximately £31m, moving from the UK's 25% rate to Malta's 5% rate. Further savings of £15m to £20m annually may come from joining an EU VAT group.The timing of the announcement, just ahead of the Labour budget, has sparked controversy, fuelling trepidation about the UK economy among operators. Although the Leeds office remains open, the relocation of roles is seen as a setback for the northern tech hub. The practice of shifting domicile has received political scrutiny, including being raised at Prime Minister's Questions, where it was framed as a move to dodge tax. The trio question whether Sky Bet, a "very British institution" due to its EFL sponsorship and Sky Sports links, is simply late to adopt the low-tax jurisdiction model used by many major operators.To read more on the discussions had in today's episode, click on the following links: - https://sbcnews.co.uk/featurednews/2025/11/19/flutter-sky-bet-malta/- https://igamingexpert.com/features/flutter-sky-bet-uk-malta/Host: Charlie HornerGuests: Joe Streeter & Ted Orme-ClayeProducer: James RossEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

Welcome back to iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, the leader in positionless marketing and player engagement. In today's episode, host Charlie Horner and Managing Editor, Jessica Welman, unpack a major industry rift and a notable consumer protection lawsuit.FanDuel and DraftKings have ended their seven-year membership with the American Gaming Association (AGA). The split follows last week's news that both operators are openly pursuing sports-related prediction market deals. Welman says the move made it clear that “we're breaking up, for real,” underscoring the companies' willingness to ditch their trade group to advance prediction-market ambitions. The AGA has long opposed prediction markets, calling them indistinguishable from illegal sports betting, and the departure reflects the long-standing divide between land-based operators (like MGM and Caesars) and online-focused companies. FanDuel and DraftKings likely resigned before a formal membership vote.The episode also covers Baltimore's lawsuit against the two operators, accusing them of violating local consumer protection rules through excessive advertising and questionable VIP practices. A federal judge remanded the case back to Baltimore City Circuit Court, seen as a win for the city.

The latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, tackles the imminent UK autumn statement and the anticipated tax hike set to impact the gaming sector.Host Fernando Noodt welcomes iGaming Expert and SBC News's Senior Journalists Conor Porter and Viktor Kayed, to analyse the uncertainty surrounding the figures, noting that the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) proposed a jump in the Machine Gaming Duty (MGD) from 20% to potentially 50%. This potential hike has already sparked alarm across the gambling and hospitality industries. The experts discuss how chains like JD Wetherspoon warn that such a change could see their post-tax profits fall by almost 50%.The conversation delves into why evidence from firms like PWC, which suggests jurisdictions with online tax rates above 25% produce lower overall tax revenue, may be ignored by Treasury officials. The team also debates the industry's campaign against the increases, focusing on warnings from the BGC about potential job losses and the growth of the unregulated black market if the licensed sector loses its competitive edge.Tune in to analyse the vulnerability of the UK market and discuss whether the industry can maintain a working relationship with the government beyond the budget statement on November 26th.Host: Fernando NoodtGuests: Conor Porter & Viktor KayedProducer: James RossEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

This episode of iGaming Daily explores why Europe is preparing to introduce stricter gambling regulations in 2025. Host Charlie Horner is joined by Ted Menmuir, SBC Media's Editor-at-Large, and iGaming Expert's Editor, Joe Streeter, to unpack major regulatory shifts across two key markets: Italy and Romania.The team first examines Italy's overhaul of its online gambling industry, driven by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government. Central to the reform is a significantly higher entry barrier, with a new nine-year concession priced at €7 million, resulting in fewer available licences. Italy aims to streamline the sector, strengthen oversight, phase out the fragmented skins model, and position itself as Europe's most secure and tightly regulated market. The episode also touches on new compliance requirements, including mandatory digital ID verification for player account registration.Attention then shifts to Romania, where the Liberal Party is pushing to increase the legal gambling age from 18 to 21. The guests debate whether this measure meaningfully enhances player protection, especially given the stark contrast between Romania's relatively volatile regulatory landscape and Italy's push for structured control.This episode is supported by Optimove, the creator of positionless marketing and the leading player engagement platform.Host: Charlie HornerGuests: Ted Menmuir & Joe StreeterProducer: James RossEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.
