EuroMillions radio ad lands Lottoland in hot water with UK watchdog
Lottoland has found itself in hot water with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over a “misleading” radio ad.
The ad in question aired last Sept. 27, and featured a voice-over that stated, “Chimp can’t believe it. At Lottoland the EuroMillions still costs just £2. Not £2.50,” noting that the Friday’s jackpot was £100 million. The advertisement also enticed customers to download the brand’s app or visit it official website to get their first bet free of charge.
The ad featured another voice over, which referred to the legal disclaimer of the offer, explaining that the offer was available for UK residents only and that the first free bet is on EuroMillions or equivalent price lottery.
The complainant, however, challenged whether the ad misleadingly implied that the product was a lottery.
Judge bars Elaine Wynn’s lawyers from suit over $900M stake
Steve Wynn’s ex-wife Elaine has suffered a legal setback in her fight to regain control over her 9.4 percent stake in Wynn Resorts.
Last Jan. 23, Nevada District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez ordered Elaine Wynn’s team of Quinn Emanuel lawyers from “participating in the case other than to contest their disqualification,” according to a Bloomberg report. The law firm is also banned from using “any confidential information from Wynn Resorts in ‘any way, shape, or form.’”
The former Mrs. Wynn brought in a new team of lawyers from the Los Angeles-based firm to provide more legal power in the three-way brawl involving her, Steve Wynn and Japanese billionaire Kazuo Okada.
If you recall, Elaine Wynn filed an amended lawsuit in early 2016 with a goal to reestablish her control over the $900 million worth of stake in Wynn Resorts, which she hasn’t had since divorcing Steve for the second time in 2010. Elaine was ousted from Wynn’s board of directors in 2015 after Steve accused her of breaching their 2010 agreement by transferring $10 million of her Wynn shares to a charitable foundation under her control without first gaining ex-husband’s permission. Elaine, however, claimed her ouster breached that same 2010 agreement, making it null and void.
Here’s what you need to know about that Trump Wall: A betting guide
When the world pivots toward uncertainty, people often find themselves searching for answers.
Remember the European Referendum, when the British find themselves at the crossroads of exiting or staying in the league of European countries? What about the fall of Democratic presidential bet Hillary Clinton and the rise of President Donald Trump in the US national elections three months ago?
Now, the people has arrived on the same, familiar spot. This time, they want to know what lies ahead of the wall that President Trump wants to build – especially that it might spell the unlimited supplies of tacos and burritos to Uncle Sam.
So before you start stress-eating and gobble up the probably last chimichangas in the United States (yes, I’m looking at you Deadpool), it’s probably a smart idea to know the future of the Great Wall of Trump courtesy of Bodog.

Botswana swings gambling market door open
Botswana’s Gambling Authority has dangled different gambling licenses to lure international operators to the Southern African country.
MMegi Online reported that the Botswana state regulator will issue six more casino licenses this month as part of its plan to open further its gambling market.
GA chief executive officer Thulisizwe Johnson announced that the African state will establish two new casinos in Gabrone; two in Palapye, one in Maun, and another in Kasane. Currently there are three casinos in Gaborone, two in Francistown, and each in Lobatse, Jwaneng and Selebi Phikwe.
“We are finalizing the request for application process. The Kasane license will be different as it will have exemptions based on the fact that even though Kasane might have the potential to have a casino, we need to consider that it is a village,” Johnson said, according to the news report.

Bitcoin inches closer to $1,000 amid rising global political tensions
Bitcoin is welcoming a new era, and it’s one that’s marked by the rising political tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump smack dab in the middle of it all.
The popular digital currency finally woke up from its sleepy streak this week, boosted by the recent developments in the United States. News of Trump signing an executive order that bans citizens of seven countries from entering the U.S. over the weekend pushed bitcoin to cross the $950 barrier.
Now, bitcoin rallied a further 3.7 percent amid reports of Trump’s team exchanging barbs with German Chancellor Angela Merkel over the weakness of the euro. In an interview with the Financial Times, Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro accused Germany of using a “grossly undervalued” euro to hurt the U.S. economy—a statement that, of course, promptly drew the ire of the German leader.
Bitcoin has had a wild start to the new year, rallying more than 120 percent to reach $1,140.64 in early January—its highest since November 2013. The dramatic rally, however, came to an abrupt end when the digital currency’s price plummeted to $885.41 following reports that the Chinese government is eyeing to introduce cryptocurrency regulations.

Lawmaker doubts PAGCOR’s authority to issue online gambling licensees
State regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is being challenged—again—over its right to issue licenses to Philippine-based online gambling operators serving international betting customers.
This time, it’s a lawmaker who’s doubting the regulator’s authority.
Last Tuesday, Sen. Francis Escudero questioned PAGCOR’s authority over Philippine Offshore Gambling Operator (POGO) licenses on grounds that the regulator’s charter was enacted before the advent of online platforms for gaming, news outlet Interaksyon reported.
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee was investigating the PHP50 million (USD1 million) bribery scandal involving gambling operator Jack Lam when Escudero pointed out that there had been attempts in the past years “to find legal means to rein in online gambling, to no avail.”
