Online gambling sites accounted for one-third of Belgium’s licensed gambling market revenue in 2015, according to new statistics from the state gaming regulator.
This week, the Belgian Gaming Commission (BGC) released its 2016 annual report, which (confusingly) contains Belgian-licensed operators’ financial information from 2015, allegedly due to the slow pace at which operators compile their individual statistics.
According to these stats, Belgian-licensed gambling revenue totaled €622m in 2015, 17% higher than 2014’s tally. Total online revenue was €211.3m, just over one-third of the overall figure.
The BGC’s ‘A’ license category of casino operators reported land-based gaming revenue of €102.3m in 2015, down 7% year-on-year. By contrast, these operators reported their online gambling revenue rising 41.2% to €78.6m in 2015.

New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. has backed the bid of the Garden State to overturn a federal law that blocks most states from authorizing sports betting before the U.S. Supreme Court.
NJ.com reported that Pallone, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, filed a brief before the High Court to defend New Jersey’s plea to legalize sports betting.
Pallone, who had spearheaded a legislation allowing states to legalize sports betting, told the Supreme Court that the federal ban was in violation of the 10th Amendment’s grant of powers to the states.
“By ordering New Jersey to maintain prohibitions on sports gambling that its state legislature has considered and repealed before, Congress is coercing the State of New Jersey to govern according to Congress’s instructions,” Pallone argued.
Las Vegas casino giants MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment have called members of the Congress to immediately pass a law that will shield undocumented immigrants from possible deportation.
MGM and Caesars made the call just days after the Trump administration announced that it will rescind protections for young people brought to the US illegally as children.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program, or DACA, is a federal government program created in 2012 under Barack Obama to allow people brought to the US illegally as children the temporary right to live, study and work legally in America.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, both casino operators are bracing themselves of effect of Trump administration’s immigration policy, given that many of these immigrants brought to the United States are working in some of the state’s leading casinos.

September 2017 – Malta, The iGaming Idol organisers announced that the awards auditing partner BDO Malta have confirmed the 50 finalists that have been chosen to enter the penultimate round, where the judges will decide on the final 16 idols that will be crowned at the Grand Master Suite, Hilton Malta on the 26th September 2017 during the iGaming Idol gala dinner.
One-hundred and fifty short-listed candidates were put to the test by fifty expert judges during three full days of interview sessions. The judges rated each candidate on a score card whereby BDO Malta, also in attendance during the interviews, had the responsibility to review the ratings, counting the scores and confirming the finalists of the 16 categories.
The judging process has been a major success factor for iGaming Idol, in that it is the first Industry award event that conducts an interview process, whilst it is audited by an International auditing firm. Speaking of the process, Michael Pedersen, CEO of iGaming Idol stated, “The judging process was a critical decision we made so to ensure that awards are credible.” “We have instilled major importance on this factor and believe it is the way forward for industry related awards.”
iGaming Idol is in its second edition and this year received triple the nominations from its first edition and the organisers are hoping to double the attendance at the iGaming Idol Gala Dinner event. Ramona Mifsud, director of iGaming Idol said “This year we have seen a major interest from the Industry from sponsors and companies attending the gala dinner.” “We are confident that this year we will not only have an outright success again but we will also reach our target of raising €10, 000 for the Malta Community Chest Fund.”

Lee Davy previews the weekend’s Premier League fixtures including the two Titans Man City and Liverpool, the two previous champions Leicester v Chelsea, and the league leaders, Man Utd, traveling to Stoke.
How rude of the World Cup to thrust a series of mindlessly boring international fixtures in front of our egg and chips. Unless, you were Belgian, in which case you are rather happy, and instead of egg and chips, it would be chips and chips.
It’s time to stop pressing the snooze button.
The Premier League is back.
It is certainly understandable to see a team like the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots get love from bettors heading into Week 1, driving them up near double-digit home favorites against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.

Sean McDermott will make his debut in Buffalo on Sunday and hopes that Tyrod Taylor will be ready to roll after passing the NFL’s concussion protocol. Taylor is slated to start, but that obviously does not mean he will make a big enough impact to warrant the big line move.

Benjamin Zamani suffers from an interesting case of synesthesia. When he enters the world’s biggest poker tournaments, the sounds of riffling chips stimulates the uncanny knack of attracting all the money.
The 2017 $2,500 buy-in WinStar River Poker Series Main Event is a classic example. The Floridian came out on top of a 926 player strong event that created a $2,173,000 prize pool.
Zamani, who was down to fewer than ten big blinds at one point during the final table thick and thin, cut a deal with China’s Chengce Jiang, during heads-up, a decision that ultimately led to Zamani picking up a $347,134 pay check.
