Dublin, August 2017 – – Online betting brand Tipp24.ie has announced a new corporate identity for the Irish market and is now known as myLotto24.ie.

Specialist eSports fantasy league and betting site eSportsPools (ESP.bet) has announced it has secured the first licence in the world to specifically cover gambling with virtual goods.

The eSports fantasy leagues, sports betting and casino offerings of ESP.bet are now licensed by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC), one of the world’s premier regulators of online gambling. The licence is the first to be granted under revised rules, in which the GSC regulates the betting of virtual goods, and the first to have these goods approved as part of the business plan in a licence submission. ESP.bet will be running these licensed real-money and virtual-goods games from its primary domain, with esportspools.com remaining as a free-to-play site.

The new Isle of Man licence solidifies the company’s leading position in this burgeoning industry. The site was one of the first to offer eSports fantasy leagues and has since beaten several major competitors to take the top spot in that market, as well as making the move into eSports betting. Having just closed another funding round aimed at continued growth, it is backed by some of the most respected investors in the sector, including BITKRAFT Esports Ventures, Firestartr, Charlotte Street Capital, Vancouver Founder Fund and several experienced eSports and gambling executives.

CEO Scott Burton explained why the licence is so important for the company’s place in the industry, saying, “To date, eSports betting and the gambling of virtual goods has largely been a grey market, with a lot of unregulated operators failing to protect their customers. We’ve always taken a more transparent approach, undertaking ‘know your customer’ checks to verify age and running a really clear game system. With this licence, that work has been validated and I feel like we have taken the first step towards building a regulated market place that is safe for consumers, businesses, and investors.”

August 2017 – London — As the Premier League celebrates its 25th anniversary, Britain’s bookmakers will have their own reason to rejoice, with Worldpay predicting the biggest-ever opening weekend for online betting.

Compared to the previous weekend, which marked the start of the rest of the English Football League, the 2016/17 Premiership opening weekend saw a 12%[1] increase in the volume of bets placed. The average spend per deposit also increased by 5%[2], indicating that the high-profile Premiership matches attract more big-ticket betting than the lower leagues. As the 2017/18 Premier League season kicks off this weekend, Britain’s online bookies will be reminded of how lucrative the league can be, with more bets expected to be placed than ever before.

An analysis of Worldpay’s data has revealed a significant rise in the popularity of online betting over the past two seasons, with the number of transactions rising by 15%[3] in 2015/2016 relative to the previous season, and by an additional 19%[4] in 2016/2017.

James McGurn, VP Growth – Digital Content and Gaming, Global eCom at Worldpay said: “Since the formation of the Premier League 25 years ago, technology has transformed the way football fans experience the sport. The emergence of online and mobile gambling is making it more convenient than ever for punters to have a flutter, from the comfort of their own sofas or in the stadium itself.
