Promotional strategies of gambling operators: what points of vigilance has the ANJ identified?

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Meeting in plenary session on January 21, the members of the National Gaming Authority (ANJ) examined the 2021 promotional strategies of gambling operators, both in competition and monopoly, with particular regard to the objectives of prevention of excessive or pathological gambling and protection of minors. In view of the points of vigilance that were identified during this review, such as increased advertising pressure and the targeting of young audiences, the approval of these strategies is in most cases subject to conditions in their implementation.

 

Reminder of the legal framework

Since the reform of gambling regulation in 2020, all operators must submit their promotional strategies to the National Gaming Authority for approval each year. The latter examines it in the light of the objectives of the State’s policy on gambling and chance, and more specifically, the prevention of excessive or pathological gambling and the protection of minors.

This first exercise of approval of promotional strategies should allow the ANJ to progressively build its analytical grid to maintain a recreational game and for operators to become familiar with these new provisions. It is also on the basis of this analysis grid that the ANJ will be able, if necessary, to mobilize its power to withdraw from a particular advertising campaign that encourages gambling by minors or that contains excessive encouragement to gamble.

The ANJ’s analytical grid takes into account the balance to be struck between the legitimate use of advertising by operators to promote the legal offer and differentiate themselves in a highly regulated market, and its necessary channelling to counter the risk of problem gambling and protect minors. It will be regularly updated in the light of the observations or developments observed by the ANJ and the work carried out with the CSA and the ARPP, in the framework of the implementation of an observatory on gambling advertising.

It is in line with the reference framework for the prevention of excessive and pathological gambling and the protection of minors published in December 2020, which proposes an operational manual for operators in the implementation of their new obligations.

Points of vigilance common to operators for the 2021 strategies

The ANJ conducted a comparative analysis of the promotional strategies of the 14 licensed operators and the 2 operators under exclusive rights (FDJ and PMU). This analysis revealed points of vigilance, common to all these operators, which justify attaching conditions to approval decisions:

  1. A substantial increase in advertising budgets of 26% compared to 2019*, with large-scale campaigns around major sporting events planned for this year (notably the Euro Football Championship and the Tokyo Olympic Games);
  2. A reinforced targeting of young people with the use of digital marketing strategies on the social networks Snapchat and TikTok particularly followed by minors;
  3. Active stimulation of the player with the effect of intensifying gambling practices and the recruitment of new players (bonuses, personalization of the offer).

The particular case of monopoly operators (FDJ and PMU)

An examination of the promotional strategies of these two operators under exclusive rights shows that the Authority has serious concerns about them, particularly in light of the case law of the CJEU and the Conseil d’Etat, which reminds us that the monopolies’ advertising efforts must remain measured and strictly limited to what is necessary to channel consumers towards controlled gambling networks. Moreover, in connection with this jurisprudence, the ANJ will be vigilant to ensure that any advertising or promotional campaign by these operators does not hide behind arguments of general interest to give a positive image of gambling or to justify it.

The ANJ will be very attentive to ensure that the points of vigilance it has identified are the object of particular attention on the part of operators with regard to their obligations in terms of prevention of excessive gambling and protection of minors.

 

*Since the 2020 budgets are not significant, 2019 will be the last fiscal year carried out under normal market conditions.

1spin4win calls on the iGaming community to support children’s healthcare in Kenya

1spin4win-calls-on-the-igaming-community-to-support-children’s-healthcare-in-kenya

1spin4win, an established slot provider, announces a charitable initiative supporting children facing cancer and CNS-related conditions in Kenya, while inviting the wider iGaming community to join the cause.

At 1spin4win, creating impact goes beyond the iGaming industry. With its new social initiative, the company aims to support children in need while encouraging the industry to come together around a meaningful cause.

To support this mission, the game provider is launching United for Impact — a charitable initiative dedicated to helping children with cancer and CNS-related conditions in Kenya. Through the campaign, 1spin4win invites partners and the wider iGaming community to join the initiative and contribute to collective change.

Limited access to specialized healthcare creates barriers for families seeking timely medical help for children with complex health conditions like cancer and CNS-related disorders. According to estimates, the country records around 3,000 new childhood cancer cases each year. However, the true number may be higher due to frequent misdiagnosis and the absence of a comprehensive national pediatric cancer registry. 

This often contributes to delayed treatment and poorer outcomes for children. While survival rates for childhood cancer exceed 80% in many developed countries, in Kenya, only around 20% of children survive. Late diagnosis, limited access to specialized care, and treatment abandonment caused by financial barriers remain among the key factors behind this disparity.

As part of the United for Impact initiative, 1spin4win will support Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital Foundation, the charitable arm of one of Kenya’s most established pediatric hospitals. Founded in 2010, the foundation works to expand access to quality healthcare for vulnerable and underserved children nationwide. Backed by a network of 18 medical centers serving over 400,000 patients annually, the organization provides treatment, specialized care, and outreach help for families in need.

The decision to support healthcare in Kenya reflects 1spin4win’s growing presence in African markets. As the studio continues to expand across the continent, it has built relationships with local iGaming brands, partners, and communities. In addition, the team has recently attended the iGaming AFRIKA Summit 2026, further strengthening its ties with the region.

Valiantsina Dubavets, Head of Marketing at 1spin4win, shared, “The iGaming industry is growing rapidly — new markets are emerging, major events are bringing people together, and a strong professional community continues to take shape. At a time like this, we believe it is especially important to direct some of that collective attention toward real social challenges. At 1spin4win, we see it as our responsibility to use our platform to contribute to initiatives that matter beyond the industry.”

Dr. Doreen Karimi, Oncology Doctor at Gertrude’s Children Hospital, commented, “By partnering with the Gertrude’s Hospital Foundation, your contribution goes directly toward breaking down the structural and financial walls that stand between a sick child and a healthy future. This includes covering complex procedures, training frontline health workers in remote counties, equipping specialized infrastructure, and supporting vulnerable families to prevent them from falling into poverty.”

The United for Impact campaign will become part of a broader series of activities aimed at connecting the iGaming community around charity causes and encouraging a culture of responsible business within the industry.

FairGambling Launches Crypto Casino Review and Analytics Platform With Provably Fair Tools and Extra Rewards

Published

fairgambling-launches-crypto-casino-review-and-analytics-platform-with-provably-fair-tools-and-extra-rewards

New York, USA, June 5th, 2026, PlayNewswire

FairGambling, a new transparency and rewards platform for crypto casino players and Bitcoin gamblers, today announced its public launch. The platform combines on-chain analytics, provably fair verification tools, independent crypto casino reviews, live bonus code feeds, and an extra rewards program offering up to 30% rakeback across 40+ major crypto casino operators including Stake, Roobet, Shuffle, BC.Game, Gamdom, Bitcasino, 1win, Winna, Thrill and Duel, with much more to come.

FairGambling launches into a market that processed over $80 billion in crypto casino deposit volume last year. The platform’s analytics layer already tracks $45 billion+ of that flow in real time across the operators it covers. Despite the market’s scale, players still have limited tools to verify fairness, compare operators, or independently assess where their money is going.

Built as a Utility Layer, Not Another Affiliate Site

“Most casino review sites today are just rankings and sign-up bonuses,” said Seb, Co-Founder of FairGambling. “We wanted to build something different. A place where players can actually see what’s happening on-chain, verify their own bets, compare casinos based on data instead of marketing, and earn real rewards on top. All for free, with no obligations. That’s the gap we’re filling, and what’s live today is just the start of what we’re building.”

The platform brings together several player-first tools in one place:

  • On-chain crypto casino analytics, tracking real-time deposit volume, market share, unique depositors, and hot wallet activity across 50+ operators
  • Provably fair verifier for independently checking game outcomes from Stake, Roobet, Shuffle and other major operators
  • Independent crypto casino reviews and ratings scored across 10 weighted categories including fairness, financial transparency, KYC and licensing, compliance, and customer support
  • Live bonus code feed aggregating active promotions from supported operators
  • Bonus calculator and Stake stats calculator for analyzing personal betting history and rakeback value
  • Blackjack trainer for practicing basic strategy
  • Extra rakeback rewards program offering up to 30% on supported crypto casinos

Data-Driven Casino Comparison

Unlike traditional affiliate sites that rank casinos based on commercial agreements, FairGambling’s ratings are built from a weighted rubric covering analytics, fairness, financial transparency, bonus structure, compliance, and security. Each operator profile includes deposit volumes, hot wallet visibility, license details, no-KYC policies, bonus testing results showing how much players actually receive back in rewards when wagering a given amount, and side-by-side comparisons against other operators on the same metrics.

The analytics section is open to all visitors and shows live on-chain flows, allowing players to see which operators are processing real volume versus those with thin activity. This is a data point traditionally only available to industry insiders.

Community Reviews and Earning Crypto

FairGambling places verified player reviews at the center of its review system. Verified users can earn crypto rewards for eligible contributions, and the platform requires casino activity verification (such as VIP tier or wager history) before reviews are approved, which is intended to filter out the fake reviews common to other online gambling review sites.

“Trust in this space is broken,” Seb added. “We’re not going to fix that overnight, but giving players the data, the tools, and the rewards to actually engage critically with the operators they use, that’s the foundation. Everything else builds on that.”

The platform helps players find the best crypto casinos based on data, verify game fairness, and earn extra rakeback on top of what casinos already offer. FairGambling is now live and available worldwide, subject to local laws and eligibility requirements.

FairGambling currently covers 50+ crypto casino operators and has tracked $45 billion+ in historical deposit volume, with more added regularly.

Huddle launches soccer pricing product ahead of FIFA World Cup

Published

huddle-launches-soccer-pricing-product-ahead-of-fifa-world-cup

Huddle has launched a soccer pricing product ahead of the FIFA World Cup, aiming to help sportsbooks meet demand for higher-frequency and player-centric betting markets.

The company said the service provides core soccer markets alongside an expanded range of player prop content and fully-combinable same-game parlay (bet builder) options. Huddle said it is applying trading and predictive modelling approaches used in US sports to soccer, citing what it sees as North American-style player prop consumption trends spreading across Europe and other regions.

In the release, Huddle argued that “legacy trading approaches” can limit market combinability and struggle to price player props in real time. It said those issues can expose sportsbooks to sharp action and contribute to downtime that reduces bettor trust and repeat betting.

Huddle said its solution combines automated pricing engines with human trading expertise, and supports features including ‘Super Sub’ offers, cashout on singles and bet builders, and win reduction on voided selections.

Francesco Borgosano, CEO at Huddle, said: “The trend to player props and more granular betting markets will be cemented at this summer’s World Cup. Sportsbook brands have had to lean in to player props and micro-markets over recent seasons to keep up with demand, but many struggle to stay on the right side of profitability with legacy trading systems unfit for their complexity and volatility. With the biggest betting event of the year on the horizon, this is the time to transform unwanted exposure into engaging, profitable content.

“Our new soccer product takes the sophisticated automation and dynamic modeling we have perfected in US sports and applies it to the world’s biggest sport. We are giving operators the boutique tools they need to confidently manage risk, maintain market-leading uptime, and deliver the limitless combinability that today’s bettor demands.”
