BGC Supports “Peers for Gambling Reform”
The UK’s Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has announced its support to the “Peers for Gambling Reform” that will consist of 150 Lords from the upper house of government which will shape the government’s path on any future gambling legislation.
Michael Dugher, CEO of the Betting and Gaming Council, said: “As the new standards body for the regulated sector, the BGC is committed to driving big changes in the regulated betting and gaming industry.
“It is important to remember that the vast majority of the nearly 30 million UK adults who enjoy an occasional flutter every year, either on the Lottery, bingo, sports, casinos or gaming, do so perfectly safely. But one problem gambler is one too many and that is why – like the new peers’ group – we also support reform. It is also why we welcomed the House of Lords committee report into the social and economic impact of the gambling industry earlier this year.
“Since being set up last year, the BGC have introduced a range of measures to ensure we are leading a race to the top on standards. These include cooling off periods on gaming machines, encouraging deposit limits, closing off VIP schemes to under-25s and massively increasing funding for research, education and treatment.
“At the start of the Covid lockdown, BGC members voluntarily removed all TV and radio advertising, and have agreed that at least 20 per cent of those ads will be safer gambling messages going forward.
“Our members also introduced the whistle to whistle ban on TV betting ads during live sports programmes, which has reduced the number seen by young people at those times by 97 per cent. And from 1 October, tough new measures will come into force to further prevent under-18s from being able to see betting adverts.
“We want to go further, however, and that is why we look forward to working with the Government on the forthcoming Gambling Review.”

Play’n GO granted Alberta iGaming licence, expanding Canadian market footprint
The Swedish gaming giant confirms its entry into another regulated market, with its industry-leading portfolio of games set to launch in Alberta.
Play’n GO, one of the world’s leading casino entertainment providers, has been granted a licence to supply online gaming content in the Canadian province of Alberta, marking another milestone in the company’s expansion across regulated North American markets.
The licence, awarded by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (AGLC), allows the company to offer its portfolio of premium online casino titles to licensed operators in the province ahead of Alberta’s planned market launch later this year.
Alberta represents an important new regulated opportunity within Canada, complementing Play’n GO’s established presence in Ontario and Quebec, while reinforcing the company’s commitment to operating exclusively in regulated jurisdictions.
Magnus Olsson said: “Being granted a licence in Alberta is another important step in our North American growth journey and further strengthens our presence in Canada.
“Regulated markets are the foundation of our business, and Alberta represents an exciting opportunity to expand our footprint in a jurisdiction that shares our commitment to high standards, player protection and long-term sustainability.”
The Alberta licence forms part of Play’n GO’s broader strategy of expanding through regulated markets, working closely with licensed operators to deliver compliant, high-quality gaming content focused on innovation, responsibility, and long-term commercial value.
As part of its market entry preparations, the company has aligned its technology and game portfolio with Alberta’s regulatory standards and requirements, with an initial batch of titles already undergoing certification to ensure launch readiness.

Aviator Studio marks another major win in São Paulo court
Aviator Studio has secured a further legal victory in Brazil after São Paulo courts rejected additional injunction requests filed by SPRIBE in proceedings involving Aviator Studio directly.
Importantly, the latest rulings concern the direct legal dispute between Aviator Studio and SPRIBE itself, separate from the previously reported proceedings involving Foggo Entertainment and Betnacional.
Having already confirmed consecutive victories in Brazil connected to Foggo Entertainment, Aviator Studio has now confirmed that courts in São Paulo also ruled in its favour across both judicial instances of the proceedings.
In each case, the courts refused to grant the urgent measures sought by SPRIBE. As a result, Aviator Studio and its partners can continue operating while the broader AVIATOR trademark dispute progresses through the evidentiary phase.
The decisions add to a growing series of courtroom setbacks for SPRIBE in Brazil and further strengthen Aviator Studio’s legal position in the connected proceedings tied to the AVIATOR dispute as related proceedings continue across multiple 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.”
