International Betting Integrity Association’s Post

🎲 It's #ResponsibleGamingEducationMonth, and Vixio is proud to support the National Council on Problem Gambling by producing a groundbreaking custom research report that cross-references states’ online sports betting regulations against NCPG’s Internet Responsible Gambling Standards (IRGS). Our custom research involved a thorough analysis of the applicable laws, regulations and standards of every US state with legal mobile sports betting in order to assess how closely their formal regulatory requirements align with the independent best practices recommended by the IRGS. It was created to: 👉 Help states identify gaps in their current laws and regulations 👉 Provide a clear framework for making improvements to better protect consumers 👉 Promote responsible gambling 🔍 Find the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e9FCtY8M #ncpg #responsiblegambling #safergambling #problemgambling #gamblingresearch #regulatoryintelligence

BUSTING THE MYTHS (Part 1) 💥 FACT or MYTH? 👉 Restricting betting on side markets (cards and corners) prevents match-fixing in football 👉 MYTH! FACTS 👉 A study on the availability of betting products published this week shows there is no evidence for a higher integrity risk for side markets! As there is such high consumer demand for football betting products (over 56% of gross win globally), restricing these kind of products will only drive consumers towards the unregulated market, where there are no controls and higher risks of fraud. The study demonstrates clear benefits for jurisdictions that allow onshore licensed operators to offer side markets: ·        More consumer protection and greater market oversight ·        More bets means more tax revenue, for example: The Netherlands would experience a $118m  uplift in tax revenue over the next five years if it liberalised access to football side markets (e.g. cards and corners).

iGaming licenses in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 This framework is all you need to know. The basics: - Duration: 5 years; it can't be passed on for the first 3 years. - Cost: US$346,000 for casinos, US$260,000 for sports betting, and US$170,000 for others, like fantasy sports. - Tax: likely the same as the 29% rate for land casinos. Apart from the license, operators need to adopt responsible gaming. This means setting up quitting options, limiting bets and playtime, and reminding players to bet wisely. There's more to consider; the requirements don't end here. Discover more below and share your thoughts on the new regulations. #fsm #digitalmarketing #advertising #sports #sportsmarketing #sportsbetting #sportsbook
