Former PokerStars Team Pro, Vanessa Rousso, and her fellow DJ in crime, Melissa Ouellet, get ready to release their first record ‘Kiss Face’ on Feb 5, 2017.

Eric Reiss is currently rocking my world.

The author of The Lean Startup has shown me why I am failing to grow my business helping people to quit alcohol. I am at a crossroads. There are two signs. One heads down a road called ‘persevere’ and the other one takes you to a place called ‘pivot.’

Pivot is a structured course correction designed to test a new fundamental hypothesis about the product, business model, and engine of growth.

 Hawaii Senator, Will Espero, creates a new online casino bill proposing to legalise and regulate the pastime on the tiny island, leaving Utah as the only state without any form of legal gambling.

When your family comes back from a trip to Hawaii, and they wax lyrical about standing in line for hours for the opportunity to eat flavoured ice from a store called Matsumoto’s you know the island needs a casino.

If gambling isn’t your thing and you think it’s the spawn of Satan, then you are probably best off living on the sun-drenched land of Hawaii. Along with that other idyllic state known as Utah, Hawaii is one of two states that offer zero forms of regulated gambling.

And yet despite this ban, it turns out in a study operated by Wallethub, that Hawaii is the 27th most gambling addicted state in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The UK’s leading spread betting outfit will no longer offer certain products to new customers following UK regulators imposing new restrictions on the sector.

On Tuesday, the FTSE-listed IG Group released interim results covering the six months to November 30, showing net trading revenue up 14% to a record £245m and pre-tax profit up 7% to £105.2m. As part of the release, the company announced it would stop offering its Sprints binary options product “to new clients with immediate effect.”

Sprints allowed IG Group customers to make highly leveraged bets on shifts in the market over periods ranging from one hour all the way down to one minute. The company said the Sprints product generated annual revenue of around £15m.

Of course, that was before the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s announcement in December of new restrictions on the contracts for difference (CFD) sector, which includes spread betting, binary options and ‘rolling spot’ foreign exchange products. That announcement sent IG Group’s shares down one-third in a single day, shedding nearly one billion pounds of market cap.
