Hub88 has introduced a new feature called My Products, and while it might sound like a simple dashboard upgrade, it reflects something much bigger happening across the iGaming space. The tool, built into the HubConnect Operator Zone, is designed to give operators full control over how they manage, configure and launch their content portfolios, all from a single interface. At a time when operator stacks are becoming increasingly complex, that kind of centralisation is less a convenience and more a necessity. At its core, My Products is about removing friction. Operators can now view their entire product catalogue, track which…
New Zealand is standing at a pivotal moment in its digital economy. For years, the country has operated within a paradoxical gambling landscape, where a tightly regulated domestic sector exists alongside a thriving but largely unregulated offshore online market. That balance is now shifting. As policymakers move closer to legalising and regulating online casino gambling, the nation is preparing to transition from a grey-market reality into a structured iGaming ecosystem, one that touches not only gambling but technology, taxation, consumer protection and international investment. At the centre of this shift is a simple truth: online gambling in New Zealand already…
Michigan’s regulated online gaming market has reached a new inflection point. March 2026 delivered the strongest iGaming performance in the state’s history, with momentum that feels less like a spike and more like the continuation of something structurally sound. At a time when many global jurisdictions are still refining frameworks or navigating early-stage volatility, Michigan is demonstrating what a mature, well-balanced digital gambling market looks like when it begins to scale with confidence. According to figures released by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, online casino gross receipts climbed to $322.1 million in March, surpassing the previous record set just three…
There is a noticeable shift underway in the live casino segment, one that challenges one of its most established assumptions: that “live” must mean human. The launch of Sentient Studios by BetHog signals a move towards a software-defined version of live gaming, where the dealer is no longer a person in a studio, but an AI system embedded directly into the platform. The company has expanded its proprietary AI dealer technology into a B2B supplier model, allowing other operators to integrate AI-powered dealers into their own live casino offerings. This marks a transition from operator-led innovation to industry-wide deployment, positioning…
There is a noticeable shift underway in the global iGaming market, one that is increasingly defined not by mature territories, but by emerging ones. As regulatory frameworks evolve and mobile penetration deepens, new regions are becoming central to growth strategies. The latest move by Inspired Entertainment reflects exactly that dynamic, signalling a deliberate push into markets where expansion potential is still accelerating rather than plateauing. The company has announced the launch of its iGaming portfolio in South Africa, marking a significant step in its broader international growth strategy. The rollout introduces a range of its digital gaming content, including slots…
There are moments in regulated markets where growth stops being cyclical and starts to look structural. Michigan’s iGaming sector is beginning to feel like one of them. The latest figures do not simply point to another strong month, but to a market that is steadily redefining its own ceiling. In March 2026, the state recorded a new all-time high for online casino revenue, with gross iGaming receipts reaching $322.1 million. This surpassed the previous record of $315.8 million set just a few months earlier, continuing a pattern of consistent upward pressure on performance benchmarks. A Record Month, Driven by Digital…
There is a quiet but increasingly consequential shift taking place across the UK’s iGaming landscape. It is not defined by innovation, product development or even regulation alone, but by something more structural: who is actually winning the battle for visibility. At first glance, the numbers appear reassuring. Advertising spend from licensed UK operators is falling, not rising, and a growing share of that spend is directed towards safer gambling messaging. But beneath that surface sits a more complex and less comfortable reality. As the regulated market pulls back, the unregulated one is accelerating, creating a narrowing gap that now raises…
There is something deceptively calm about the latest data emerging from the Dutch online gambling sector. On paper, the numbers suggest stability, yet beneath them the market is quietly shifting in ways that could reshape its trajectory. According to the latest report from the Kansspelautoriteit, the Netherlands’ legal online gambling market has maintained a consistent monthly gross gaming revenue of approximately €100 million. Over the second half of 2025, this translated into a total gross gaming yield of €602 million, broadly unchanged from the previous reporting period. At first glance, this consistency signals maturity, a market that has found its…
Washington D.C. is preparing to confront a reality that has long existed beneath the surface of its regulated betting landscape: a sprawling, largely unregulated iGaming market operating beyond the reach of oversight and taxation. A newly proposed bill aims to bring that activity into the open, establishing a licensed framework for online casino gaming while cracking down on illegal operators that have flourished in the absence of clear regulation. The proposal reflects a broader shift in regulatory thinking. Rather than attempting to eliminate illegal iGaming entirely, policymakers are increasingly recognising that demand already exists and is being met through unlicensed…
