Sweden to End Land-Based Casino Gaming

Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag, has voted to abolish land-based casino gaming, effective from January 1, 2026. This decision will result in the closure of the last remaining Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm, operated by Svenska Spel. The move reflects declining profitability and visitor numbers, largely due to the rise of online gambling. This shift could lead to increased focus on online platforms, offering potential opportunities for affiliates in regulated markets. source

Irish and UK Gambling Regulators Sign Cooperation Agreement

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance cooperation. This agreement establishes a framework for collaboration, promoting closer working relationships to improve each organization's ability to fulfill their duties. The MOU facilitates information sharing and discussion on compliance, monitoring, enforcement, and other regulatory matters. GRAI intends to establish similar MOUs with other EU gambling regulators. The agreement aims to enhance the effectiveness of regulatory responsibilities, given the shared operators and gambling practices between Ireland and the UK. source

Russian Official Proposes Blocking Websites and Crypto Payments to Combat Illegal Online Casinos

Evgeny Masharov, a member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, believes that blocking websites and applications, as well as cryptocurrency payments, could solve the problem of illegal online casinos in Russia. According to Masharov, the legal bookmaker market is losing out to illegal entities because the latter have no requirements for identification and age verification. He added that only blocking these sites by Roskomnadzor and restricting cryptocurrency payments by Rosfinmonitoring and the Central Bank will solve this problem. Masharov expressed confidence that the discussion would help fine-tune the regulatory regime and that the proposals would stop channels for involving children in these schemes. source

Hawaii Considers Legalizing Online Sports Betting

Hawaii is evaluating House Bill 1308 to legalize online sports betting. The bill has cleared several committees and passed the House, signaling a shift in the state's stance on gambling. It aims to create a regulated online sports betting market, though it faces challenges in the Senate and opposition from law enforcement and industry critics. This initiative represents a potential economic and regulatory change for Hawaii. source

Connecticut Suspends High5Games License for Illegal Gaming Activity

Connecticut has suspended High5Games' license due to operating an illegal, unlicensed online gaming platform. The company faces over 1,000 criminal counts for activities including accepting wagers from self-excluded individuals and misleading consumers. Connecticut residents lost nearly $1 million on the platform. This action highlights strict regulatory enforcement against unlicensed online gaming and significant consumer protection concerns. source

Brazil's Online Betting Market Surges

Brazilians are wagering up to $5.1 billion monthly on online betting, according to Brazil's central bank. This figure represents a significant increase from previous estimates, highlighting the rapid growth of the online betting sector in Brazil. The country transitioned to a regulated market in January 2025, following legalization in 2018. The surge in betting activity has raised concerns about household budgets and financial stability, as a substantial portion of household income is being directed towards gambling. Despite these challenges, the regulated market aims to ensure consumer protection and fiscal transparency.
