What MPs think of gambling to be revealed at Reputation Matters event
The results of a survey of over 100 Members of Parliament will be discussed at event looking into the future of the UK gambling sector
The findings from a survey of what over 100 MPs think about the UK gambling sector, conducted by YouGov, will be revealed at the Reputation Matters event taking place on Tuesday 2 November.
The questions being put to the representative sample of MPs address such issues as whether they feel the industry is adequately regulated and whether they think some companies act more responsibly than others.
The survey comes as a crucial time for the UK gambling sector. A white paper is due soon that will address what the government intends to include as part of its review of the Gambling Act.
The questions also address the issue of gambling advertising. According to the latest reports, the government is thought to be considering the introduction of further restrictions on gambling advertising including outright bans on certain types of activity.
“With so much riding on the review of the Gambling Act, it is important for the industry to understand what MPs as a whole are currently thinking about the sector, hence the interest in this data,” said Oliver Rowe, global sector head for leisure and entertainment and director for reputation and business research at YouGov. “At the event, we will also be looking at the views of the general public to see if they align with MPs.”
Rowe will be taking part in a panel on the day entitled ‘Now and forever: surviving the Gambling Act review’ which will discuss what the experts believe is upcoming from the government.
Joining Rowe on the panel will be Ian Ince, chief compliance officer at Playtech; Camilla Wright, partner at Red Knot Communications; Hayley Jane Smith, head of safer gambling standards at GamCare; and Adam Brickell, director of public affairs for the UK & Ireland at Flutter Entertainment. The panel will be moderated by Dan Waugh, partner at Regulus Partners.
The keynote for the day will be provided by John O’Reilly, chief executive at Rank Group.
Said Scott Longley from event organiser Clear Concise Media: “It will be fascinating to find out where the industry stands when it comes to the attitudes of MPs. The sector has its vocal critics in Parliament as well as its defenders but the questions YouGov have asked attempt to get behind the propaganda and focus on the views around specific policy instruments.”

Booming Games marks two years in South Africa, targets top supplier spot
Booming Games says it is marking two years in South Africa and is setting a target to be “recognised as the market’s leading games provider in the next 1-2 years,” according to a company statement dated 14 July 2026.
The Malta-based supplier entered the market in July 2024 and says it has since grown from a single partner relationship to working with “a host of tier one operators across Africa.” The company also claims its local team has doubled in size, with further hiring planned in the coming months, and noted shortlistings at the SiGMA Africa Awards and iGA Summit Awards earlier this year.
In South Africa, Booming Games said it has more than 145 titles “tested, approved and live” in Mpumalanga, Western Cape and Eastern Cape. The company also pointed to a partnership announced last month with World Sports Betting (WSB), under which a selection of its titles will be integrated into WSB’s platform.
Solomon Godwin, Head of Africa at Booming Games, said: “Close partnerships with operators is central to our ability to innovate and deliver at speed. These collaborations allow us to establish a comprehensive feedback loop that informs future games. Put simply, we listen to our punters through our partners.”
Looking ahead, Booming Games said it plans to expand into “every remaining province” and increase investment in local presence and operator partnerships, including targeting new aggregator platforms entering the market. The supplier also said it will expand its release pipeline with localised titles and is developing new games across crash and instant categories, alongside updates to existing games.
Max Niehusen, Founder of Booming Games, said: “South Africa already drives the largest proportion of our revenues in Africa, and as we celebrate two successful years here, we are well placed to build out our offering even further over the years ahead.”

Tonybet awards €7,000 silver prize in World Cup Card Collection campaign
Tonybet has awarded a €7,000 prize to a player in Kilcock, Ireland, after the customer found the campaign’s silver card in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection promotion. The update was announced Tuesday 14th July 2026.
The World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards: 48 digital cards representing each participating World Cup nation, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—tied to prize payouts. Tonybet said the bronze card was available during the group stage and was previously found by a customer in Canada.
According to the operator, the silver card was available during the knockout rounds through the quarter-finals. The gold card is now in play for the semi-finals, third-place play-off and final.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “Our Tonybet World Cup Card Collection Bronze prize went during the group stage; now Silver has gone too!
“A massive congratulations to our lucky winner in Kilcock, County Kildare. Silver was always the knockout-round card, available once the World Cup reached the stage where a single result ends a team’s tournament. It has found its winner just as the field thins to the last handful of nations.
“Now we’re down to the final four, that’s where the competition really hots up, leaving just the golden card still hidden somewhere for our lucky winner to find. Best of luck to all of our players as this amazing World Cup reaches its conclusion this week.”
Tonybet said its World Cup Card Collection runs until 31 July. With the bronze and silver cards already claimed, the remaining campaign prize depends on when the gold card is found before the promotion ends.

Tequity signs Koom Games to its RGS platform
Tequity has agreed a Remote Gaming Server (RGS) deal with slot studio Koom Games, with the partnership announced on 14 July 2026. Koom Games will use Tequity’s licensed modular RGS to develop and roll out new titles for distribution to operators worldwide.
Under the agreement, Koom Games will use Tequity’s infrastructure to handle game delivery while keeping control of its creative and development roadmap. The studio said its approach is to build content closer to mobile and social gaming than traditional casino titles.
Tequity said it currently supports 31 RGS clients and manages more than 130 integrations across regulated markets. The company positioned the Koom Games deal as part of a wider run of commercial agreements with providers and operators.
Tanja Bergman, VP of Partnerships at Tequity, said: “Koom Games is a studio that is looming to enter the global market by making a big splash. The team’s dedication to creating content that is genuinely fresh is highly impressive. We are thrilled to offer the stable, high-performance environment needed to transform this creative vision into a market-leading reality.”
Marko Zulj, CEO & co-founder at Koom Games, said: “Whenever operators and aggregators ask us what category our games fit into, we actually struggle to give a traditional answer. Instead, we tell them, ‘you’ll need to try them, because you haven’t played this before’.
“Our games come with completely new mechanics, fresh math, and features built for social engagement. To scale such a vision and remain agile, we needed more than a reliable RGS — we were looking for a robust iGaming platform that lets us confidently develop in any direction, and we found exactly that in Tequity.”
