Barclays Introduces a Cooling Off Time Delay to Its Gambling Block Feature
Barclays has introduced a 72-hour ‘cooling off’ time delay to its gambling block feature, which will help the customers who are looking for additional control over their expenses in gambling websites, apps or in venues. The new feature will make the customers wait for 72 hours for making the next gambling-related payments. Any attempted gambling-related transaction will be automatically rejected.
Sian McIntyre, Managing Director at Barclays said: “We are always looking for new ways to support our customers and make it easier for them to manage their finances.
“Customer feedback on our gambling control showed us there was more we could do to help and we’ve worked closely with them to design the solution. Our customers have told us this 72 hour time delay gives them a real pause for thought and helps when they are tempted to return to gambling.”
Anna Hemmings, Chief Executive of GamCare, said: “The ability to block gambling transactions through your bank card or app is incredibly helpful to those struggling to control their gambling, and is ideally used together with other practical tools such as self-exclusion, blocking software, and specialist support and treatment around the issue.
A recent report from the University of Bristol Personal Finance Research Centre has also highlighted that ‘positive friction’ such as a cooling off period can be even more helpful for users, as this gives time for reflection. GamCare is pleased to see Barclays take this positive step to support their customers and we hope more of the financial sector follows suit.”
Katie Alpin, Interim Chief Executive of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, said: “We’ve long campaigned for banks to offer customers gambling blocks with a ‘cooling off’ period, as this can make a huge difference in helping people stay in control of gambling and avoid serious financial problems. We’re delighted that Barclays has taken this step and hope that other banks will follow suit.”

Genius Sports and Pac-12 Launch Comprehensive AI, Tech and Integrity Partnership to Fuel Regulated Betting, Moment-Based Ad Products and Analytics
Genius Sports has unveiled a new multi-year partnership focused on integrity, technology, and AI with the Pac-12 Conference (“Pac-12”) to enhance the future of legitimate and responsible sports wagering, integrity, fan interaction and revenue generation, as well as performance evaluation in collegiate athletics.
The collaboration strengthens Genius Sports’ position as the backbone of contemporary sports. Under the terms of the agreement, Genius Sports will implement GeniusIQ, its data and AI platform, at all venues for Pac-12 football and men’s and women’s basketball events – establishing a unified, smart framework for data tracking, video capture, real-time analysis, and commercial engagement.
Genius Sports and Pac-12 will work together on various innovations aimed at protecting integrity, enhancing the fan experience, and creating new revenue opportunities.
Permitted wagering and integrity protections
Genius Sports will act as the sole distributor of official data from Pac-12 events to authorized sportsbooks globally. In this position, the firm will implement a new Authorized Gaming Operator (“AGO”) initiative aimed at ensuring the integrity of Pac-12 events and safeguarding student-athletes.
Alongside removing negative and high-risk bet types, the AGO program will enhance transparency, information exchange, and collaboration among the Pac-12, Genius Sports, and authorized sportsbooks, while stopping prohibited bettors from making bets; all aimed at addressing the risk of corruption linked to betting and safeguarding student-athletes.
A fresh age of marketing focused on moments
Genius Sports’ Moment Engine allows brands to launch advertising in real-time during critical moments in Pac-12 games across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms, turning live sports data into actionable advertising chances.
For Pac-12 advertisers, this opens up the chance to engage with significant Pac-12 moments that are crucial, immediately, with enhanced accuracy and on a larger scale.
Enhanced performance insights
The collaboration will also aid Pac-12 schools by providing the most cutting-edge performance analysis available worldwide.
Programs will utilize the GeniusIQ-enabled Performance Studio platform, offering coaches and athletes advanced analytics and video tools employed by most NBA and WNBA teams.
“College sports are entering a new era where official data and real-time intelligence power everything from integrity and betting and media to performance,” said Mark Locke, CEO at Genius Sports. “By deploying GeniusIQ across Pac-12 venues, we are building the data infrastructure that connects leagues, sportsbooks, broadcasters and advertisers in real-time.”
“The Pac-12 is thrilled to announce this partnership which will allow a college sports conference, for the first time, to impose direct and meaningful integrity restrictions on sports books who receive and use Pac-12 data,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. “This partnership positions the Pac-12 as an early-mover in the data rights space, connecting to our strategic vision and challenger mindset to push boundaries in a disciplined fashion while introducing new opportunities for brand elevation and revenue growth.”

How Established Operators Can Address Online Casino Vulnerabilities: Atlaslive’s Recommendations
This article concludes Atlaslive’s series exploring online casino vulnerabilities and the ways established operators can address them early.
Throughout the series, several key exposure areas were examined, including cybersecurity threats, KPI warning signals, financial leakage risks, infrastructure and platform limitations, as well as compliance and regulatory pressure. Each of these factors can directly influence revenue stability, player trust, and long-term operational scalability.
In this final installment, Atlaslive specialists present a set of mitigation principles designed to help operators reduce operational exposure and maintain stability as their businesses expand.
A Structured Approach to Reducing Operational Exposure
Since 2019, Atlaslive has worked with operators across multiple markets and at different stages of growth, including companies transitioning from legacy platforms in search of greater stability and operational control.
Based on this experience, one consistent observation emerges: vulnerabilities rarely result from a single failure. More often, they develop through disconnected operational processes, delayed system visibility, or infrastructure that was not designed to support increasing complexity.
To address these risks, Atlaslive specialists recommend a structured operational approach.
Monitor KPIs in Real Time
Early anomaly detection plays a key role in identifying potential vulnerabilities before they escalate.
Continuous monitoring of indicators such as Registration-to-Deposit Conversion (Reg2Dep), payment success rates, chargebacks, retention metrics, and player lifetime value allows operators to detect performance distortions at an early stage. Acting on these signals quickly helps prevent small operational issues from turning into structural revenue losses.
Integrate Risk, Payments, and CRM Systems
When systems operate separately, operational blind spots often appear, making fraud detection and oversight more difficult.
A unified architecture that connects risk management, payment processing, and CRM systems improves visibility across both player behavior and financial flows. This integration enables faster responses to fraud attempts, bonus abuse, and unusual player activity.
Strengthen Security Governance
Security governance remains a core component of operational resilience.
Multi-factor authentication, encrypted infrastructure, and standardized security frameworks help minimize both technical and regulatory risks. Consistent security practices also support compliance requirements in regulated markets.
Automate Compliance Workflows
As regulatory requirements continue to grow in complexity, manual processes increase the risk of operational errors.
Automated KYC triggers, transaction monitoring systems, and reporting workflows allow operators to maintain consistent compliance standards while reducing operational friction and cross-market inconsistencies.
Maintain Continuous Operational Support
Operators expanding into multiple jurisdictions face increasing operational pressure.
Continuous technical monitoring combined with localized support enables faster incident response and helps maintain platform stability during peak traffic periods, market expansion, or high activity.
“Vulnerability management is not a reactive exercise. It is an ongoing operational discipline that protects revenue, player trust, and regulatory standing.”
—Tetiana Honchar, Platform Product Manager at Atlaslive
Building Long-Term Operational Resilience
Online casino vulnerabilities rarely appear suddenly. They tend to develop gradually through small operational gaps, unnoticed KPI changes, or infrastructure that struggles to handle scale.
For established operators, proactive monitoring and structured governance are essential. Security, performance, compliance, and scalability must function together as part of an integrated operational system.
Operators that treat vulnerability management as a continuous operational discipline are better positioned to protect revenue integrity, maintain regulatory standing, and scale their businesses with greater stability.
