Entain to Close 39 Ladbrokes Shops in Ireland After Sale Collapse
(AsiaGameHub) - Entain is preparing to shut down more than a third of its Ladbrokes betting shops in Ireland, following reports that it has abandoned negotiations to sell its entire retail portfolio in the region.
As first reported by The Irish Times, Entain has confirmed it will close 39 of its roughly 100 Irish Ladbrokes locations, accounting for over 33% of its local estate. These closures put 226 jobs at risk, pending the outcome of a consultation process.
The company has initiated formal consultations with the affected staff and expects to finalize the closures by the end of May 2026.
A representative for Ladbrokes stated to iGB: “We regularly assess our retail operations to ensure the business remains financially viable and competitive.
“Our current focus is on working constructively with our team members throughout the consultation period, with a strong emphasis on finding redeployment opportunities wherever possible. Ladbrokes remains dedicated to the Irish market and to......

UK Regulator Lifts Suspension on Spribe’s Operating License
(AsiaGameHub) - Spribe, a prominent gaming content provider, is now able to restart offering its popular Aviator game in the UK. This follows the local regulator's decision to lift the temporary suspension of the company's license. The suspension was initially imposed due to Spribe's breaches related to hosting requirements.
License Suspension Attributed to Hosting Problems
Spribe, widely recognized for its Aviator crash game, experienced the suspension of its UK remote operating license on October 30, 2025. The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) officially stated that this suspension resulted from Spribe's failure to comply with the hosting stipulations within the UK's licensing regulations.
Hosting involves the indirect delivery of content to operators. This typically covers situations where a provider stores its games on its own servers, allowing customers of its clients to access these offerings.
The UKGC indicated that Spribe did not possess the required license for hosting activities, yet proceede......
Florida Intensifies Illegal Gambling Crackdown as Police Increase Enforcement
(AsiaGameHub) - Illegal gambling continues to be a persistent problem. Despite Florida implementing stricter penalties, longer prison sentences, and allocating resources to raid illicit gambling establishments, such operations persist and spread.

California Cardrooms Face Legal Challenge as New Rules Ban Blackjack Games
(AsiaGameHub) - California’s cardroom industry is confronting an existential crisis due to new regulations that took effect on April 1. The industry is seeking to reverse these rules, which essentially bar cardrooms from offering blackjack-style games—games that serve as the lifeblood of these venues and their surrounding local economies.
California’s New Cardroom Regulations Have Taken Effect
Earlier this year, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Bureau of Gambling Control approved far-reaching regulatory changes. Citing concerns about problem gambling, legislators effectively decided to prohibit cardrooms from providing the player-dealer blackjack games the industry has grown dependent on.
For context, California law forbids anyone except state tribes from offering banked gambling. As a result, cardrooms have long hired third-party player-dealers and created blackjack variants that align with the local regulatory framework. The use of third-party proposition playe......
New Jersey Lottery Participant Nets $6.5M in March
(AsiaGameHub) - New Jersey continues to be a prime location for lottery enthusiasts, as the state produced another major winner recently. One lucky ticket secured a $6.5 million prize in the Pick 6 game, with the drawing held on Monday, March 23.
Details of the win were only recently announced by the lottery. The winning numbers were 2, 3, 6, 33, 38, and 41. The ticket was purchased and played via the Jackpocket mobile application.
Jackpocket is a widely-used courier service operating in New Jersey, though it has faced controversy in states such as Texas, particularly following a major jackpot win that prompted an investigation and regulatory scrutiny.
James Carey, the New Jersey Lottery's executive director, extended his congratulations to the winner. The jackpot for the game has now reset to more than $2 million.
“Congratulations to our latest Pick-6 winner! This is the second Pick-6 jackpot this year,” stated Carey. Earlier in March, a different player won an $832,000 jackpot just be......

Gambling Dates Back to the Ice Age
(AsiaGameHub) - Scientific American has covered a new analysis presenting evidence that humans might have been gambling as far back as the Ice Age, and the modern cultural phenomenon of gambling could be deeply rooted in human behavior across thousands of years.
Understanding of Probability Traces Back 12,000 Years
Though the study’s scientific findings center on the realization that humans have long grasped the nature of randomness and that certain events are entirely beyond their control, the revelation that humans have gambled for millennia is especially notable.
The analysis published by archaeologist Robert J. Madden in American Antiquity suggests that games of chance, a form of gambling, date back at least 12,000 years.
“This is the most thrilling paper I’ve encountered in North American archaeology in at least the past five years,” stated archaeologist Robert Weiner, who works at Dartmouth College, to the publication.
Madden reached his conclusion by reviewing at 25 ......
CFTC Focuses on Insider Trading in Prediction Markets
(AsiaGameHub) - The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is intensifying its focus on insider trading within prediction markets, with its newly appointed enforcement chief designating the issue as a top priority.
“We Will Aggressively Detect, and Investigate”
Speaking at New York University School of Law, David Miller, the agency’s recently appointed director of enforcement, described the current period as “a very exciting time for the CFTC.”
He elaborated, stating, “From our roots as an agricultural futures regulator, we now oversee derivatives markets in a wide variety of areas. And we are at the forefront of regulating prediction markets and crypto assets, perhaps the two most dynamic markets in finance.”
The new enforcement head, who previously served as a litigation partner at Morgan Lewis and Greenberg Traurig after a decade in public service in various capacities, including as a “federal prosecutor in multiple offices of the Depa......

Aichi Prefecture initiates RFP process in bid for Japan integrated resort license
(AsiaGameHub) - Japan’s Aichi Prefecture has confirmed it is once again weighing an integrated resort (IR) license bid, after unveiling a Request for Proposals (RFP) on Tuesday.
During the 2023 first round of bidding, when three licenses were up for grabs, the Japanese government only reviewed two submissions. Only one of those won approval: a plan from MGM Resorts International and Orix Corp to construct an IR in Osaka.
The $10.2 billion development, located on Yumeshima Island in Osaka Bay, broke ground in April 2025 and is scheduled to open in 2030. The government turned down a second bid from Casinos Austria and Nagasaki over financing-related concerns.
The second bidding period will launch in 2027, with applications accepted between May 6 and November 5.
Obstacles aplenty to Japan IRs
It has been a decade since Japan legalized integrated resorts, following the passage of the 2016 Integrated Resort Promotion Act. In 2018, the Diet enacted legislation to define official resort zones, kick......
Iowa Senate Moves Forward With Bill to Regulate Prediction Markets
(AsiaGameHub) - Iowa legislators are pursuing a measure that no other state has yet undertaken – enacting a bill to regulate prediction markets. This move is poised to create significant disruption within the event contracts industry, as operators argue they are already overseen at the federal level and that federal law supersedes state-level gambling rules.
Prediction Markets Are a Point of Contention
Prediction markets represent an innovative type of trading platform where participants can exchange contracts based on future events. Users essentially purchase shares that correspond to "yes" or "no" outcomes for specific occurrences, which can cover a wide spectrum from sports to political events.
These platforms fall under the regulatory authority of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), permitting them to operate across all 50 states. Nonetheless, critics within the industry contend that event contracts are nearly identical to sports wagering and that prediction markets, in ......
Former Tata Steel Workers Win $1.32 Million Lottery Jackpot
(AsiaGameHub) - Despite the closure of their former workplace, 15 Tata Steel workers have maintained their bond in South Wales and are now set to receive a substantial GBP 1 million from the lottery, which equates to approximately $1.32 million.
15 Ex-Workers Kept Together for Years – and They Won a Million-Plus Jackpot
The group of friends managed to stay connected, each contributing £5 to every lottery draw. This consistent effort has now paid off, with each of the 15 winners entitled to a share of the grand prize amounting to GBP 66,666, or roughly $88,094.
Paul Davy, aged 61, was the driving force behind the friends' lottery syndicate, successfully keeping all 15 individuals involved over the years through regular emails and conversations, both online and in person.
Davy admitted that his initial motivation wasn't solely about winning; he primarily aimed to stay in touch with his former Tata Steel colleagues. He even viewed the lottery contributions as a way of "donating to charitie......

Missouri Could Let Voters Decide on Slot Machines
(AsiaGameHub) - Missouri legislators are revisiting the debate regarding the fate of slot-style machines located in gas stations and small enterprises, and on this occasion, voters might ultimately make the decision.
“It Is Something That Belongs on the Ballot”
The president of the Missouri Senate, Cindy O’Laughlin, thinks that placing the matter on a statewide ballot could be a sound approach, providing residents with the chance to determine if they want these devices legalized and regulated.
This concept emerged during a legislative hearing aimed at finding the most effective way to handle the rapid proliferation of so-called “gray market” gaming devices across the Show-Me State.
These devices, frequently referred to as video lottery terminals, have existed in a legal gray area for years. While proponents argue they should be formally brought under state supervision and taxed appropriately, opponents insist they should be eliminated entirely.
