The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has announced that a Voluntary Self-Exclusion (VSE) list has been established specifically for sports wagering. Since the first casino in Massachusetts opened in 2015, more than 1700 people have enrolled in a VSE programme for casino gaming, and today there are 1329 individuals enrolled. The VSE programmes are designed to allow those who want to regain control a means to restrict their access to gambling for a pre-determined amount of time. With the introduction of sports wagering, individuals will have the option to self-exclude from casino gaming floors, retail and digital sportsbooks, or both forms of gambling.
Sportradar Group AG announced the Massachusetts Gaming Commission has granted US betting subsidiary, Sportradar Solutions, a Temporary Sports Wagering Vendor License for the state of Massachusetts. Sportradar now holds 44 licenses, or equivalent, in North America across US states, territories, tribes and Canada, providing its services to a wide range of clients operating within these jurisdictions, advancing transparency and integrity and delivering accurate sports data to sports betting and gaming agencies.
Genius Sports Limited, the official data, technology and commercial partner that powers the ecosystem connecting sports, betting and media, announced that it has been temporarily certified by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission as a licensed sports wagering vendor. The temporary certificate of authority is valid for an initial 12 months pending final full authorisation.

MGM Resorts International announced a multi-year agreement to become a hospitality and strategic partner of the National Football League Players Association. Under the agreement, the two sides will collaborate on creating new content and fan experiences with current and retired NFL players. The partnership also provides hospitality benefits to NFL players with MGM Resorts’ properties serving as the host location for a variety of NFL player-related events.
Codere has entered into a new partnership with football team Club Atlético Lanús, which plays in Argentina’s top divisions Primera División and Liga Nacional de Básquet. Under the deal, the operator’s Codere-Bingo Lanús brand will feature on the back of players’ jerseys, underneath their squad numbers, until the end of 2023. The agreement builds on Codere’s long history with Club Atlético Lanús, with the operator having served as the team’s official sponsor between 1999 and 2016.
The newly promoted Brazilian Serie A side, Cruzeiro Esporte Clube has landed a new sponsorship agreement with the UK-based operator, Betfair. As part of the agreement, the betting firm’s logo is incorporated on the chest of the club’s shirt, which is back in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship after a recent promotion after three years. The agreement covers the men’s team and an essential space for brand awareness on the women’s kits – on the back, at the top.

Slotland invites online casino players to step into the Castle of Horror — if you dare. Just in time for the spooky season, the new Castle of Horror slot game throws open its creaky gates and is treating players to a Halloween bonus feast. New and existing players can grab a 105% Match BOOnus and Free Chips.
Shadows crawl across the 6×3 reels in this dark, cartoon-horror adventure. Spin across 13 fixed paylines and encounter a sinister cast of characters, including a Dracula-like vampire with glowing eyes, a snarling werewolf, unnerving pumpkin-spiders, vials with a floating eyeball, and monster jaws full of sharp teeth. The neon-glowing, spooky aesthetic sets the perfect Halloween mood, where a 6x Wild can deliver 2,000x your bet.
“What better way to mark 27 years of entertaining our players than by inviting them into a haunted castle?” said Michael Hilary, Slotland Manager. “This has been a landmark birthday for us, and we wanted to give our players a gift. The Castle of Horror is the perfect blend of spooky fun and big win potential, and it encapsulates the innovative spirit that has kept us at the forefront for nearly three decades.”
The castle’s true terror and treasure lie in its trio of bonus features. Scatter symbols pay instantly, with 1 to 6 scatters awarding up to 10x your total bet. Land 3 or more Free Spins scatters to trigger the Freakish Free Spins round with 3-12 spins, featuring Colossal Wilds and extra spins for additional scatters. For instant rewards, trigger the Pick Me Bonus with 3 or more scatters to level up through the castle’s depths, unlocking increasingly valuable coin prizes from up to five rows.
Join Slotland’s birthday bash and Halloween festivities. The terror doesn’t stop there! Slotland’s sister site, Winaday Casino, has also unleashed the Castle of Horror, offering another venue to hunt for its eerie bounty!
