Premier League clubs face an £80 million shortfall in shirt sponsorships
(AsiaGameHub) - Premier League football clubs are set to face an £80 million revenue gap as gambling companies pull out of front-of-shirt sponsorship deals ahead of the 2026-27 season, The Guardian has reported.
The voluntary ban, due to take effect at the end of this Premier League season, was agreed upon in 2023 by clubs in consultation with the UK government. It aims to reduce gambling advertising within the sport.
According to the investigation, nine Premier League clubs have not yet finalized new front-of-shirt sponsorship deals for next season. Meanwhile, a total of 12 clubs remain without signed agreements as the new season draws near.
However, some already signed deals indicate that sponsorship values have dropped significantly. For example, Bournemouth and Brentford have shifted existing stadium or training partners to front-of-shirt sponsor roles, but at much lower fees.
Notably, Everton has chosen to keep Stake—its current front-of-shirt sponsor—as a sleeve spon......
Uganda to Introduce Uniform 30% Tax on Gambling, Plus New Net Winnings Levy
(AsiaGameHub) - The Ugandan government has put forward new plans to significantly increase the tax obligations for the gambling industry, affecting both companies and participants.
Legislators in Uganda recently proposed the Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Act 2026. This legislation, pending approval, would standardize the tax on betting to a 30% Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) rate, aligning it with the existing tax for iGaming.
A separate piece of legislation, the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill 2026, was also introduced. This bill would impose a 15% withholding tax on the net winnings of individuals from betting and gaming.
Provided both bills are passed, they are scheduled to take effect starting July 1 of this year.
Harmonisation of gambling tax in Uganda
The current gambling tax structure in Uganda, governed by the Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Act 2023, operates on a two-tier system.
That previous legislation raised the tax rate on gaming activities, such as casinos, from 20% to 30%, based on t......

Lithuania to require mandatory gambling player cards from 2029
(AsiaGameHub) - The Ministry of Finance in Lithuania has suggested implementing compulsory ‘player cards’ to track the gambling behavior of individuals in both online and land-based establishments.
Scheduled to take effect on 1 January 2029, this measure would mandate that all gamblers possess a physical card. This card is designed to enforce stricter regulation of gambling habits and allow state bodies to track deposits and winnings across various betting operators.
A proposed amendment to the country's gambling legislation detailed several key updates, including the card initiative. According to local media reports, these cards will associate gambling transactions with specific personal identities. The law also anticipates a steady elimination of cash transactions in betting establishments. These cash payments will be substituted by electronic payments tied to the player card.
The Gaming Control Authority is set to receive more distinct and robust powers to supervise adherence to......

Analysts Express Doubts About Las Vegas Sands’ Future Growth
(AsiaGameHub) - Las Vegas Sands’ shares faced downward pressure this week following a cautious report from Jefferies that questioned the company’s short-term growth prospects. Even though the firm had previously posted positive results, analyst David Katz lowered the stock’s rating from “buy” to “hold” as the company shifts its focus to drawing premium mass market patrons in Macau. While this segment has emerged as a key revenue generator in the area, the need for significant reinvestment could eat into profits.
The Operator Must Address Long-Term Challenges
Per Katz, the worry isn’t that demand will vanish—it’s about the expense of sustaining it. Premium mass customers expect updated rooms, improved facilities, and frequent innovations to keep their experience engaging. Fulfilling these expectations calls for ongoing investments. Katz and his team contend that this situation could restrict earnings growth, even if top-line revenues keep......

Paradise Co. Revenue Declines in March Despite Strong Table Play
(AsiaGameHub) - South Korean casino operator Paradise Co announced a sharp downturn in its March results, with total gaming revenue falling significantly despite sustained high levels of player activity.
Paradise Co Revenue Drops 40% Despite Strong Table Play
The firm posted casino revenue of KRW 49.5 billion ($32.8 million) for the month. This figure represents a steep 40% decline year-on-year and a clear drop from the February total. In its recent monthly disclosure, the company did not explain the reasons for the softer performance, according to Inside Asian Gaming.
Notably, customer betting behavior presented a contrasting picture. The total table drop, or amount wagered at tables, increased to KRW 587.7 billion ($389 million). This indicates a nearly 10% growth from the month before, implying that player traffic or betting activity held firm.
Nevertheless, the increased wagering failed to boost profits. Revenue from table games, the primary income source, dropped. This segment's earnin......

Maine Tribal Nations Permitted to Intervene in Online Gaming Lawsuit
(AsiaGameHub) - In January, Maine’s Wabanaki Nations in the U.S. received official authorization to “run online gambling operations to boost economic growth and investments in Tribal communities”—a move stemming from Governor Janet Mills’ approval of LD 1164 as law.
This legislation, titled “An Act to Create Economic Opportunity for the Wabanaki Nations,” granted the tribes sole rights to either operate online casino platforms or partner with others to do so. Predictably, the decision faced opposition, and Churchill Downs Incorporated filed a legal challenge against it.
Recently, a federal judge has permitted the Wabanaki Nations to join the ongoing lawsuit, which has the potential to alter the trajectory of online gaming in Maine.
Tribes Granted Status as Formal Defendants
This ruling enables the tribes to formally participate in the case as defendants, defending the law that gives them exclusive online gaming rights. The lawsuit was initiate......
Saturday Night Live Sketch Spotlights Rising Debate Surrounding Prediction Markets
(AsiaGameHub) - A recent Saturday Night Live sketch has brought the burgeoning and contentious realm of prediction markets into the spotlight. The comedy segment mixes satire with a subject that is increasingly facing regulatory examination in the U.S.
Barkley Impression Steals Spotlight in Betting Satire Sketch
The late-night program presented a spoof of a college basketball post-game show, vaguely modeled after the NCAA Final Four. The bit showcased comedians playing the roles of famous sports commentators reviewing the evening's matchups. This involved a fictitious game in which Connecticut beat Illinois and another surprising result with Michigan. Although the sports commentary set the scene, the skit shifted into a critique of contemporary gambling trends.
A character impersonating ex-NBA star Charles Barkley quipped that betting is now so pervasive that individuals can wager on virtually anything — even forecasting what announcers might say during a live broadcast. To highlight the ridic......
Cantor Affiliate Lodges Patent Lawsuits Against DraftKings and FanDuel
(AsiaGameHub) - A subsidiary of the “renowned global financial institution home to world-class professionals, delivering specialized industry expertise, cutting-edge products, and customized client solutions”, Cantor Fitzgerald, has launched fresh legal action against two of the most prominent brands in the US sports betting space.
According to Reuters, Interactive Games LLC is alleging that DraftKings and FanDuel engaged in unauthorized use of patented technology, having supposedly infringed on five patents first developed by the now-closed Cantor Gaming.
The Controversy
Filed in federal courts in New Jersey and Massachusetts, the lawsuits assert that the patents cover key elements of mobile wagering technology, a core function of contemporary online sportsbooks. A noteworthy detail of the case is that two of these patents were co-invented by Howard Lutnick during his tenure as chief executive officer of Cantor Fitzgerald.
Lutnick stepped down from his leadership posts at both Cantor a......
