Speaking at the Gaming Developers Conference in San Francisco, NRG eSports founder Andy Miller has declared that gambling will be a big part of eSports’ future and one of the primary reasons traditional sports teams are showing an interest in the new sport.

The world is changing.

Dog owners picking up shit in plastic bags are filling the football fields as the kids sit in the comfort of their bedrooms playing and watching digital eSports.

The future is digital, and it’s one of the reasons that NBA’s Sacramento Kings owners Andy Miller and Mark Mastrov decided to create NRG eSports in December 2015.

Online gambling sites are no longer welcome in Switzerland after legislators voted to require internet service providers to block the domains of unapproved sites.

On Wednesday, the Swiss legislature’s lower house voted in favor of the domain-blocking plan, despite opposition from the Swiss People’s Party and the Greens. The upper house had previously approved the plans.

In January, the lower house’s Legal Affairs Committee narrowly voted to expunge the domain-blocking language from the country’s proposed gambling legislation. But the committee’s vote wasn’t binding and the pro-blocking camp eventually got its way when the matter came up for a floor vote.

Swissinfo.ch quoted Franz Grüter, a member of the People’s Party and the chairman of local broadband provider Green.ch, speaking out against the proposal, saying blocking domains “isn’t in step with the liberal, democratic way of thinking. It’s what dictatorships do.”

Florida’s Seminole Tribe says it can’t support either one of the state’s two pieces of gambling legislation because each bill appears to violate federal law.

Florida has two gaming bills up for discussion in this year’s legislative session. A state Senate committee approved the sweeping SB 8 legislation last week, while the same day saw a House subcommittee okay the rival PCB TGC 17-01.

The principal difference between the bills is the Senate’s desire to authorize slot machines in eight counties outside South Florida while also allowing cardrooms to offer so-called ‘designated-player’ (aka house-banked) card games. By contrast, the House bill would essentially freeze the state’s gambling market in its current form.

Both bills would approve the new gaming compact Gov. Rick Scott negotiated with the Seminoles in December 2015, which extended the tribe’s exclusive right to offer blackjack and other house-banked games at its six casinos in exchange for the tribe paying the state $3b over seven years.

Skill-based gambling device maker GameCo has won certification from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), paving the way for a wider rollout of GameCo products in casinos across the United States and beyond.

On Tuesday, GameCo proudly announced that GLI had certified the company’s Video Game Gambling Machines (VGM) under GLI-11, the global gold standard for casino gambling device respectability. GameCo CEO Blaine Graboyes called GLI’s stamp of approval “a huge milestone for GameCo, and for all skill-based gambling products.”

GameCo’s VGM feature 30-90-second video games adapted from top developers, with patented math models to tailor game play to match player skill levels. Last November, GameCo launched America’s first casino-based VGM in Caesars Entertainment’s Atlantic City properties after winning approval from state gaming regulators.

GameCo says it expects similar regulatory approval will be granted in Connecticut soon, and the company hopes to launch nearly 20 gaming positions in the state this month. By next year, GameCo hopes to be operational in most major US gambling jurisdictions.
