Argentine authorities have frozen the bank accounts of a local online betting site they claim to be operating without authorization.

On Wednesday, the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Buenos Aires ordered the suspension of the Miljugadas1.com domain for organizing and promoting gambling to the city’s citizens without local authorization.

Prosecutor Martin Lapadú (pictured) also ordered the site’s bank accounts frozen and for financial institutions to refrain from processing any transactions on behalf of the site. Lapadú warned internet service providers that failure to block the Miljugadas domain could result in charges for assisting an illegal gambling operator.

Under Argentine law, illegal gambling operators can face prison sentences of between three and six years. Miljugadas lists its office address in the province of Misiones, but Lapadú says he’s yet to identify the site’s directors and representatives.

The Baha Mar resort casino in the Bahamas is filling over half its available hotel rooms, three months after the troubled project’s soft opening.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis and some of his cabinet members toured the $4.2b Baha Mar resort, while Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTFE) Bahamas President Graeme Davis touted the fact that the resort is currently at “over 50% occupancy” of the 1,800 rooms at the property’s Grand Hyatt hotel.

Davis called this an “excellent” result given the relatively brief time that the resort has been open to the public and the fact that CTFE has yet to ramp up its marketing campaign. Baha Mar expects to open the resort’s second hotel, the 300-room SLS Lux, in late October or early November, with a 200-room Rosewood hotel following next spring.

Davis claimed the SLS was on track to meet its opening target, noting that “all of our furniture is here.” That conflicts with claims made by Baha Mar’s primary contractor, China Construction America (CCA), in a lawsuit filed against a US supplier that is refusing to deliver 1,420 lounge chairs until it receives proper payment.

Live dealer online casino provider Evolution Gaming nearly doubled its profits in the second quarter of 2017 as mobile devices claimed more than half of revenue for the first time.

Figures released Thursday show Evolution’s revenue rising 56% year-on-year to €42.3m in the three months ending June 30. Earnings for the quarter were up 81% to €19.2m while profit rose to €14.6m from €7.6m in the same period last year as margins gained 6.5 points to 34.6%.

Evolution CEO Martin Carlesund was understandably ebullient at his company’s performance, which he credited to high growth among existing customers and “a continuously improving and increasingly efficient organization.”

The growing popularity of live casino products was on full display in the quarter, as Evolution’s B2B customers reported the total number of bet spots rising to 2.2b from 1.2b in Q2 2016. The share of Evolution’s revenue derived from mobile devices leaped to 52%, up 12 points year-on-year and marking the first time that mobile revenue has accounted for more than half of Evolution’s overall pie.

Russia’s telecom watchdog is taking a harder look at eSports skin betting sites due to their resemblance to an ‘online casino for children.’

Russia’s hyper-vigilant Roskomnadzor agency recently added several eSports-related domains to its ever expanding online blacklist, including skingames.co, csgo.tm and csgofast.com, all of which offer Russian-language skin betting services to eSports players.

Skin betting sites allow eSports players the opportunity to obtain rare, high-value in-game virtual items (skins) by wagering skins of lesser value on the outcome of eSports matchups, or by engaging in lotteries or casino-style games of chance. Valuable skins can then be sold for real cash via eSports marketplaces such as Valve’s Steam.

Last year saw a wave of eSports developers begin cracking down on third-party sites that facilitated skin betting on popular titles such as CS:GO, while gambling regulators have begun warning skin betting sites that they need to acquire local gambling licenses or face the consequences.
