CFTC-regulated prediction venues now compete directly with state-licensed sportsbooks, offering national reach, exchange-style pricing and a lighter federal compliance regime. This feature maps the legal split (federal pre-emption vs state police powers), details operator strategies (fight, partner, or own the rails), unpacks the infrastructure (clearing, custody, oracles), and converts regulatory milestones into an actionable trigger matrix. It sets a minimum controls parity

Super Group has launched ZAR Supercoin (ZARSC), a fully bank-backed, FSCA-regulated stablecoin built on Solana and designed initially for South Africa’s high-friction payments environment. Powered by Absa-held reserves, Luno distribution and a Q1 2026 wallet rollout, the token is positioned to become a low-fee, high-speed rail for Betway South Africa and everyday retail payments. With Africa contributing a significant share of Super Group’s revenue—and South Africa alone acco

In a bold step towards digital transformation, Sun International (JSE: SUI) has appointed Leslie Peters as its new Chief Technology & Product Officer (CTPO), a newly created role aimed at driving the company’s technology agenda and enhancing its product offerings. This appointment marks a pivotal moment for Sun International as it accelerates its shift from a predominantly land-based gaming operator to a digitally-led, omnichannel powerhouse in the global hospitality and gam

Luxembourg is preparing a bill that would centralise online gambling and gaming machines under a state-controlled model. The National Lottery would lead the offer, and the authorised land-based casino could receive an online licence once geoblocking and player-protection systems are proven. The government frames the move as a response to rising harm indicators, and as a way to shut down grey devices in cafés. This runs against Europe’s multi-licensing drift, so the proposal w

DraftKings has acquired Railbird Technologies and its CFTC-designated exchange, Railbird Exchange, in a move that drags the US sportsbook wars onto a new board: federally regulated prediction markets. The company says it will launch DraftKings Predictions , a mobile app that lets customers trade event contracts on real-world outcomes in finance, culture and entertainment “in the coming months.” Financial terms were not disclosed. Deal timing.  DraftKings announced the transa

As the global iGaming market matures, the distance between innovation and iteration has never been thinner. Operators and studios ship faster, collect more data, and speak endlessly of “AI transformation,” yet many of the products that reach players feel strangely interchangeable. Paulo Gonçalves, Chief Product Officer at Logifuture, argues that the next wave of progress will come not from scale but from constraint — from learning to design inside the tightening bands of regu

When odds and promos converge, the last moat is comprehension. The operators who compress time‑to‑confidence, not time‑to‑click, will own intent, trust, and margin. If odds and promos are commodities, what exactly are you competing on? Here’s the uncomfortable answer: time to confidence. Not time to click. Not time to bet. The operators that turn a visitor’s half‑formed intent into “I know what I’m doing and why” will own the only durable spread left in a market where prices

As maths converge and IP costs climb, the durable edge in slots won’t be one more mechanic or a louder lobby. It will be the quiet competence of service design: telemetry-literate live-ops, truthful disclosures, and personalisation that’s visible to regulators and legible to players. Picture the next road-map review. Content costs are up; licenced IP is inflating; feature sets are heavier than last year and somehow harder to explain. The team can still ship faster, but the qu
