Sun Dreams hat vor dem Berufungsgericht Valdivia einen weiteren Rückschlag erlitten.

Kambi hat sein Sportwettenangebot für die staatliche Lotterie AD vorübergehend ausgesetzt, nachdem der bulgarische Betreiber seine Betrieb- slizenz freiwillig an die örtliche Glücksspielregulierungsbehörde zurückgab.


Wetten auf den Super Bowl haben dem Sportwettenmarkt in New Jersey sowohl online als auch in Wettbüros einen starken Februar beschert, obwohl der monatliche Gesamtwetteinsatz zum ersten Mal seit Oktober nicht die Marke von 500 Mio. $ Dollar erreichen konnte. Größere Sorgen bereitet dem Sportwettenmarkt in New Jersey jedoch die Frage, was nun geschehen wird, nachdem die NBA die Sai- son pausiert hat, die NCAA Zuschauerzahlen für ihren Wettkampf begrenzt hat und andere Ligen über Pausierungen nachdenken.
