In this episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, hosts Ted Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye, dissect the decision by GambleAware's board of trustees to wind down operations, signaling a complete closure by March 2026. As a long-standing pillar in the UK's gambling harm prevention ecosystem, GambleAware's exit marks a transformative shift in how gambling treatment and education will be handled moving forward. With the charity stepping away from roles in strategic planning, fundraising, and commissioning, the episode examines how this development reshapes the landscape of gambling harm mitigation in the UK, especially in the context of the upcoming statutory levy and NHS-led treatment models.The discussion provides crucial insights into GambleAware's historical role as the UK's leading commissioner of gambling harm funding, primarily supported by voluntary one per cent contributions from major operators like Flutter, Entain, William Hill, bet365, and GAN. The hosts explore the possible reasons behind the trustees' decision to fully exit, rather than accept a diminished position under the NHS's control. They also assess how this move may reflect broader political and institutional goals, particularly the NHS's long-standing ambition to establish a fully independent public health response, free from industry ties.Looking to the future, the episode raises pressing concerns about the NHS's readiness to assume full responsibility for gambling treatment, research, and support services. With mounting structural pressures, ongoing resource constraints, and a lack of clear leadership communication, questions loom over how this transition will unfold.

In this episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, Jessica Welman and Charlie Horner, delve into the legal battle surrounding the National US Gambling Support Hotline, 1-800-GAMBLER. At stake is the continued operation of a lifeline for countless Americans struggling with gambling addiction. Managed by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), the hotline plays a critical national role by connecting individuals to localised support. However, a contract dispute with the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey (CCGNJ), which owns the number, has triggered a lawsuit. NCPG argues the agreement included an auto-renewal clause, while CCGNJ appears unwilling to renew. With millions invested in promoting the hotline and its irreplaceable role in national problem gambling prevention, industry leaders are urging swift resolution.California's gaming landscape is also heating up, with legal friction erupting across Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), sweepstakes, and prediction markets. A recent opinion from the California Attorney General states that most DFS formats, including peer-to-peer and house-based games, likely violate state law. This development could affect even traditional fantasy leagues and has triggered pushback from major operators. FanDuel seems inclined toward negotiation, potentially aiming to strengthen tribal partnerships, while DraftKings, PrizePicks, and Underdog are pushing back aggressively.We also cover breaking updates on California's sweepstakes legislation and a groundbreaking federal lawsuit involving prediction markets. New amendments clarify that the sweepstakes bill targets suppliers, including affiliates, rather than end users. Meanwhile, three tribal nations have filed a federal lawsuit against Kalahi and Robinhood, arguing that prediction markets constitute Class 3 gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).

27-year-old Auckland engineer Shyamal Shah has been sentenced to two years, two months imprisonment for what is believed to be one of the largest public sector thefts on record – a 17-month scheme in which he managed to swindle roughly $1 million from his employer, Watercare. The court was told yesterday that the theft and deception came about through Shah's gambling addiction that started at Sky City Casino, then escalated after three men approached him and invited him to a residence where private games were being held. It was a racket where addicts were targeted and given a significant line of credit before payment is demanded, often through coercion. I mean, if we've ever seen any Good Fellas type movies, you've seen it before. In Shah's case, the court was told the defendant was shown photos of another man who had been violently assaulted after they didn't pay. So he was hooked, he was reeled in, and he turned a promising career in a promising life into a complete and utter train wreck. He will go to jail, his parents, who had taken a gamble and backed that their son was going to be an exemplary citizen, are financially ruining themselves to try and pay back as much of the money as they possibly can. This is what a gambling addict looks like, and it comes at the same time as the nation's independent gambling regulator, the Gambling Commission, has issued a damning report into the Ministry of Health's problem gambling section, saying it is impossible to judge whether the services actually reduce gambling harm. The report recommended Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey and Internal Affairs Minister Brook van Velden reject the Ministry of Health request to increase a levy from $76 million to $92 million over the next three years. The levy comes from the gambling industry, which makes sense. A lot of people can gamble and just have, you know, $5 on the nose of a horse, a pretty chestnut at Race 9 at Te Rapa, but others can't, so the industry helps fund problem gamblers, helps fund assistance and help for problem gamblers. But the Commission's expert reviewer Doctor David Rees said when it came to the money that has been given to the Ministry of Health to help problem gamblers, we don't know if it's enough. We don't know if it's too much. And that's a point made by a number of people. There's a lack of data, a lack of understanding, we don't know what's working, and we don't know what's not working. Sounds like my hero, the Auditor General John Ryan. He said, I don't know this money's been well spent, there's no track of it, no record of. So same again, the Ministry of Health gets millions of dollars from the gambling industry to help problem gamblers, does it work? Dunno! Ddn't really know. Matt Doocey said it's not good enough, symptomatic of what happened under the last Government. Doocey said in mental health and addiction services, increased funding had led to no material difference. And it's true, that's exactly what happened under the last Government. We're seeing lots of ads for the TAB right now: “You know the odds, now beat them”. In the pregame build up before the All Blacks there's always a punters report: what the totes paying for which player to score the first try. You can bet on anything and it's being very, very normalised. As with every addict across every addiction, you start off thinking it's a bit of harmless fun, think you can handle it until you can't, until you've found yourself like Shyamal Shah, in the dock with your promising life and career absolutely ruined. All addicts need help to get the monkeys off their back, but just throwing money to the Ministry of Health and thinking there we go job done, is not good enough. They have to show that the millions of dollars they have been granted have done some good. And this hasn't come out of the blue. In 2019, they were asked to account for the money. They didn't. In 2022, they were told to carry out a major strategic review of its problem gambling strategy and they didn't. And then they had the temerity to come back and ask for more money. Can we have another $11 million? No. If you want $92 million, then you have to show what you're spending it on, not just for the sake of the money and for the sake of proper accounting, but for the sake of the addicts. It's so hard for addicts to know they have a problem before it's too late. I'm talking about any addiction. And when you reach out for help, you need that help to be there.

In this episode of iGaming Daily, SBC's Editor-at-Large, Ted Menmuir and iGaming Expert's Business Journalist, Christian Lee, recap key insights from the recent Gaming in Spain conference in Madrid. A highlight was the DGOJ's much-anticipated regulatory update, covering proposed changes to deposit limits, advertising rules, and a new mandatory risky behaviour algorithm for identifying problem gamblers.The DGOJ is pushing for a cross-platform approach to deposit limits and revisiting previously repealed advertising restrictions, though progress is slow — partly due to a shift in oversight from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs. Frustration among operators is mounting, with delays and limited communication creating uncertainty.Despite regulatory hurdles, Spain's online gambling market—currently just 24% of total gambling—is seen as a major growth area, especially for diversified sports betting. The conference also emphasised the need to balance consumer protection with player experience to avoid pushing users to unregulated markets.Host: Ted MenmuirGuest: Christian LeeProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

Text and Be HeardWhat happens when America's newest addiction epidemic doesn't involve a substance at all? This raw, eye-opening exploration of problem gambling reveals the psychological trap that's capturing millions of Americans through slick marketing, smartphone accessibility, and corporate partnerships with major sports leagues.Gambling addiction creates a psychological prison far more complex than many realize. By the time financial distress becomes evident—maxed credit cards, payday loans, borrowing from family—the addiction has already established deep roots. The particularly cruel aspect of gambling addiction is how it convinces sufferers that more gambling is the solution to gambling-created problems, perpetuating a cycle that benefits only the house.The corporate gambling empire's exponential growth should concern us all. Billionaire sports team owners and multinational corporations aren't satisfied with traditional betting—they've created an ecosystem of prop bets, live betting, and player-specific wagers designed to capture new demographics who might not understand traditional sports betting. Their sophisticated marketing portrays gambling as excitement and entertainment while concealing the anxiety, stress, and depression that compulsive gamblers actually experience.Most revealing is the constant mental preoccupation gambling creates. Long before and after placing actual bets, problem gamblers remain trapped in gambling thoughts—analyzing odds, contemplating future bets, calculating losses, planning how to acquire more gambling money. This mental imprisonment leaves little cognitive space for nurturing relationships or pursuing meaningful goals. At its core, problem gambling isn't about money—it's about escaping feelings of purposelessness and low self-esteem through a "fake world" that promises excitement but delivers only deeper emptiness.Ready to break free from gambling's grip or help someone who's struggling?
