Stats Perform first to support the IBIA data standards process
Stats Perform, the SportsTech leader in data and AI technology, pledges full support of yesterday’s announcement by the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) issuing a set of minimum standards governing the procedures for the collection of sporting event data for betting.
Stats Perform today announced it would immediately apply to the IBIA’s independent audit process led by eCogra to achieve the Data Standards Kitemark and demonstrate that it meets and goes beyond those standards in its betting data operations. As an Affiliate Member of the IBIA and the premium supplier of betting and performance data to the sports and betting industries, Stats Perform has consistently advocated for best practice standards when it comes to the event data that drives betting markets.
The announcements follow the launch of a project by the IBIA in May to create a set of standards to help protect the integrity of sport, its data, and the betting markets powered by that data. As the first private entity to endorse the project, Stats Perform looks forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the IBIA and its members to promote the minimum standards and to lead the way in the quality and integrity of its own data supply chain.
Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Implemented and monitored effectively, a global set of standards would contribute positively across the sports and betting industries from an integrity perspective. At Stats Perform, we have a longstanding programme of investment in maintaining the strongest quality assurance and integrity processes across our data supply chain. We look forward to working with the IBIA on best practices going forward and to demonstrate through the independent audit process how Stats Perform is going the extra mile to ensure the reliability and credibility of its data.”
Jake Marsh, Global Head of Integrity at Stats Perform, said: “Data is an incredibly important part of the sports integrity ecosystem. At Stats Perform robust data quality and integrity is the fundamental priority and this is reflected in the investment in our data supply chain and in our consistent public advocacy for best practice standards in this sector. Our approach to data incorporates close collaboration with the sports and betting industries and we look forward to working with the IBIA and other stakeholders on best practices to help protect the future of integrity in sport and betting.”

Atlaslive Concludes ICE Barcelona 2026: Regulation, Safer Gaming, and Faster Platform Execution Define 2026 Outlook
Atlaslive, a global B2B iGaming technology provider, has wrapped up a productive week at ICE Barcelona 2026, where the industry gathered at Fira Barcelona Gran Via from 19–21 January to define key priorities for the year ahead.

With ICE Barcelona further strengthening its position as a core meeting place for iGaming stakeholders, the event programme highlighted a consistent market direction: regulatory evolution is accelerating, safer gaming requirements are expanding, and operators need product ecosystems that can scale across multiple jurisdictions without compromising player protection. These themes were reflected through sessions such as the World Regulatory Briefing focused on global policy and compliance frameworks, as well as workshops on cybercrime & fraud, safer gaming, and the iGaming customer journey.
For Atlaslive, the event conversations reinforced a clear operational reality across the industry—operators are building growth strategies around platforms that support regulated market expansion, risk control, and faster, more reliable UX delivery.
Atlaslive representatives also completed several interviews during the show, discussing platform strategy and industry expectations across operations, marketing, security, compliance, and responsible gaming.
“ICE Barcelona made it clear that the industry is entering a much more structured and mature phase,” said Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive. “The focus is shifting from experimentation to efficiency—how fast you can launch, how well you can scale, and how confidently you can operate in regulated environments.”

Across its meetings with operators and partners, Atlaslive discussed market entry demands, infrastructure readiness, and the practical execution behind long-term retention. Topics included reducing friction in onboarding, payments, and player support, as well as integrating responsible gaming tools into the core platform UX rather than positioning them as separate add-ons.
As 2026 progresses amid continued regulatory updates and rising user expectations, Atlaslive will keep advancing platform development to support compliance readiness, safer play tooling, and faster delivery of product experiences across regulated markets.

Legal Online Casino States Where BetMGM Operates

| Michigan | 172 | 20 |
| West Virginia | 171 | 21 |
| Pennsylvania & New Jersey | 169 | 22 |
Key Insights from Legal Online Casino States
Here are a few of the key findings from this research:
1. Slots Dominate Regulated Markets
Slots are the top-searched casino game in every legal online casino state except New Jersey, reinforcing slots as the primary driver of online casino interest in regulated U.S. markets.
2. New Jersey Stands Out with Roulette-Led Interest
New Jersey is the only legal online casino state where roulette outranked slots as the most searched game in 2025. This indicates a more diversified player base with a stronger interest in live dealer and table games.
3. Search Interest is Tightly Clustered Across Legal States
Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey all ranked closely together nationally (positions 20–22), with very similar search interest scores.
Methodology
BetMGM Casino analysed Google search trends to assess nationwide interest in casino games over a 12-month period, covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.
Search interest was measured across five core casino game categories:
- Casino
- Slots
- Poker
- Blackjack
- Roulette
Only the generic category terms (for example, “slots”, “poker”, and “casino”) were analyzed. No modifiers such as “online”, “real money”, or brand-specific keywords were included. This approach ensures the data reflects overall interest in casino games, rather than being influenced by regulatory differences, platform availability, or other variables in individual states. It is critical to note Google Trends is strongest when you compare high-volume, generic terms.
Google Trends scores were used to compare relative search interest by state, with values scaled from 0 to 100 per category, where 100 represents the highest level of search interest observed during the period analysed.
This methodology allows for a consistent, like-for-like comparison of casino game popularity across the United States, highlighting regional interest patterns and broader gambling trends rather than online-only behavior.
