GLMS presents betting sponsorship study

GLMS has published its first in-depth study, ‘ A STUDY OF BETTING OPERATORS AND THEIR SPONSORSHIP OF SPORT‘, exploring the impact of betting operators in their sponsorship of sports competitions and teams.
The study is based on GLMS methodology and includes recommendations for ensuring that betting sponsorship has only a positive impact on the health of sports.
A call to action
GLMS issues this study as a call to action in the face of a systemic global problem that, if allowed to continue, will be to the detriment of global society. The vision and mission of GLMS has been since 2017 to safeguard sport Integrity by developing a culture of Integrity and Social Responsibility through various activities in addition to detecting suspicious betting patterns. This includes advising regulators as to what provisions need to be introduced when it comes to legalising sports betting and protecting sports values and sustainable market conditions.
An in-depth look at the Asian betting market, betting operator sponsorships in sports and trends
The study is based on a specific methodology and addresses trends in betting sponsorships, notably within football and basketball, toucing on other sports as well. A special focus is placed on the Asian Betting Market, its background, growth and the potential risks and threats.
The study takes into account the COVID-19 pandemic, which only highlights the need for more stringent regulation, ensuring that betting sponsorship remain only a positive impact on sports.
The study also looks at facts and figures in a number of countries in Europe, where betting sponsorship is particularly commonplace.
Regulations and recommendations
The study explores in a snapshot the existing regulations and legislations addressing betting sponsorship of sports, including the recently published UK House of Lords ‘Time to Act to reduce gambling-related harm’, as an illstration of the increasing focus being placed on this issue.
The study ends with a number of recommendations facilitating the safe practice of betting sponsorship of sports. While this study focuses on the impact of sponsorship and makes recommendations for regulating that element, it is also clear that the gaming industry as a whole is one that merits wider scrutiny from governments, investigative authorities, internet service providers, technology firms and many others besides. Today, some operators are able to layer their business interests to avoid infringement while simultaneously seeking to attract betting losses from some of the poorest people in the world. In the future, it is hoped that more efforts can be made across the breadth of society to curb these activities. Read the full report here.

Movers and Shakers: Slots Temple – The Company Advocating for RTP Transparency

While the online gambling landscape continues to strive for greater player protection and transparency, one area that deserves more attention is the transparency of return-to-player (RTP) rates. At Slots Temple, we are committed to enhancing player trust and providing a fair gaming environment, and we see RTP transparency as a crucial part of that commitment.
By focusing on treating players fairly and offering them the best possible experience, we can foster lasting loyalty that goes beyond fleeting bonuses. This guides our approach to RTP, and we’re actively working to ensure our actions match this, as we have demonstrated with our commitment to always offering the highest available RTP version of a game.
Slot Players, First and Foremost
For some, the idea of consistently offering the highest RTPs is not a top priority. For us at Slots Temple, it’s a fundamental principle. As a licensed online casino, we understand that providing value and the best experience to our players is the most sustainable path forward. Prior to becoming a licensed online casino, we operated exclusively as an affiliate website, a role that honed our understanding of what players value from their online casino experience.
Our experiences have taught us that you don’t need to overcomplicate anything; all that most players want is clear information about the games they choose, and an honest and transparent casino they can depend on.
Many online casinos choose to offer a low RTP version of their games. This means that the 96.5% RTP version of Gates of Olympus you love at one casino might not be available at another, and you could end up playing the 94.5% version without realising.
A Simple Mission
Our aim is simple: we want players to be fully aware of the odds they are facing and be empowered to choose games that align with their expectations. So, what are we doing about it?
Firstly, we have made a public commitment to always offering our players the highest RTP version of every game available. This isn’t just a promise; it’s a core operational principle. We also benefit from an engaged community of online players who are quick to provide feedback, helping us maintain this commitment. We actively welcome and value this level of player engagement as a crucial part of our process.
On a broader level, we are actively raising awareness about the importance of RTP transparency within the industry. This includes engaging with industry press and educating players on the issue, championing a more transparent future for online slots.
A Promising Future
As operators, we often emphasise the importance of providing players with the best possible experience, but this area is one that many overlook. While offering lower RTP games might increase profits in the short term, it is a sure-fire way not to keep players around when they realise there are better odds elsewhere.
Our not-so-distant relative, the sports betting industry, sees operators proudly advertising that they offer low odds to punters. They understand that customers want value, and by providing it to them, they will return. This goes both ways, too, with sports bettors often quick to criticise bookmakers who offer poor odds.
We hope to see a future in the online casino world where this applies as well. We will continue to promote our high RTP offerings and fulfil our commitment to our players, and we would love to see other operators do the same.
