Royal Society for Public Health UK Welcomes Ban on Credit Card Gambling
The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) has welcomed the decision of the UK Gambling Commission to ban gambling with credit cards.
In March 2019, a research by the Gambling Commission revealed that one in five (22%) of online gamblers that use credit cards are classed as problem gamblers.
“This decision marks a clear and welcome step in the right direction toward tackling gambling related harm. Credit card gambling is particularly problematic when individuals take part in gambling with money they simply do not have, often with devastating results for individuals, families and whole communities,” Shirley Cramer, Chief Executive of RSPH said.
Under the new regulations, it will be mandatory for all online gambling operators to participate in the self-exclusion scheme provided by Gamstop and offer this to all customers from March 31.
“Throughout 2020, we look forward to working with the Gambling Health Alliance to evaluate the current system and take forward evidence based recommendations for a wider package of measures to tackle gambling related harm and protect the public’s health,” Shirley Cramer added.

This partnership emphasizes transparent communication with players by presenting Belatra’s entire game portfolio, including its strengths and areas where improvements can be made. The initiative aims to foster trust in the Belatra brand, showcase its diverse collection of titles, and keep players updated on new releases. SlotCatalog serves as a key platform for players to build confidence in game studios and their offerings, making it an ideal ally for Belatra in reaching and engaging its audience effectively.

Kateryna Goi, Chief Marketing Officer at Belatra, emphasized the alignment between the two organizations: SlotCatalog’s data highlights the trust players place in its platform. In turn, the platform delivers transparency and honest content for its audience—precisely what we, as a studio, are seeking. We’re confident in the quality of our games and excited about directly engaging with players. With exciting new launches planned for the summer and autumn seasons, we are eager to share them through this partnership.
Daria Kushnir, Chief Marketing Officer at SlotCatalog, highlighted the value of collaboration: “Success in this industry is fueled by goal-driven partnerships rather than mere transactions. Together with Belatra, we aim to connect the right players with the right games more quickly. This synergy between their rich game portfolio and our audience intelligence offers an excellent foundation for consistent growth and results over time.”

Aviator Studio
Aviator Studio Achieves Major Legal Victory in São Paulo
Brazilian courts persist in denying SPRIBE’s injunction efforts as Aviator Studio achieves another two-instance triumph in São Paulo.
Aviator Studio achieved another legal triumph in Brazil as São Paulo courts denied further injunction requests submitted by SPRIBE in cases directly involving Aviator Studio.
Significantly, the recent decisions relate to the direct legal contention between Aviator Studio and SPRIBE, distinct from the previously mentioned cases involving Foggo Entertainment and Betnacional.
After securing consecutive wins in Brazil related to Foggo Entertainment, Aviator Studio has now announced that courts in São Paulo have also ruled in its favor at both judicial levels of the case.
In every instance, the courts denied the immediate actions requested by SPRIBE. Consequently, Aviator Studio and its associates can maintain their operations while the wider AVIATOR trademark conflict advances through the evidential stage.
The rulings contribute to an escalating number of courtroom defeats for SPRIBE in Brazil and further bolster Aviator Studio’s legal stance in the related proceedings linked to the AVIATOR dispute, as associated cases progress in various jurisdictions.
Commenting on the development, representatives from Aviator Studio said: “These outcomes continue to confirm a clear judicial pattern. Attempts to obtain urgent injunctions against Aviator Studio and its partners in Brazil are consistently being rejected by the courts.”
