The online sports betting scene in Chile has been under fire from a judicial perspective, with the Supreme Court ruling to block betting sites. Now this week, there’s news from the legislative side that could see a requirement for operators not being active for 12 months before receiving a licence.

In addition, Isadora Marcante provides further updates on the progress when it comes to Brazilian regulations.

Last December, the three parties forming Ireland’s tri-coalition government published ‘The Gambling Regulation Bill 2022’ - settling on definitive terms needed to overhaul the Republic’s near-century old laws governing gambling under the Betting Act of 1931.
 
As pledged, 2023 was marked as the year in which Ireland would finally launch its new gambling regime, to be governed by a dedicated government body and protecting its consumers via a national self-exclusion scheme.
 
Yet since July, the Bill appears stuck in the Dáil under parliamentary review, as a final text is yet to be submitted to the Seanad Éireann, Ireland’s Senate for final approval by the end of year.
 
Though the government cites that terms are settled, concerns appear on legacy issues facing gambling in Ireland with regards to measuring problem-gambling, consumer rights and the legal remit of its new governing body.

Joining stand-in host Martyn Elliott to kick start the week on iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamerica, is Edward Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye.

 It's a Daily Fantasy Sport episode on Thursday's iGaming Daily off the back of SBC Americas' interview with Underdog Fantasy CEO Jeremy Levine, that looked at the relationship between DraftKings and FanDuel and why operators seek to shut down 'props style' Daily Fantasy Sports. 

The latest episode, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamerica, saw the return of the dynamic duo of Jessica Welman and Charlie Horner, following a brief period of separation, to take a deeper look at the interview and questions whether a game in which players select over or under athelete's statistical performances qualifies as fantasy or should be categorised as sports betting.

The sharp ascent enjoyed across the aggregation scene has been clearly visible for all to see in recent times, however could this mass saturation be leading towards an "inevitable" merger and acquisition period?

Joining Davies was the Host, James Ross, and Craig's fellow CasinoBeats and SlotBeats colleague, Danny Lee, to go over aggregation, from pitfalls relating to its recent boom, scalability and features.

Across the board, industry analysts had anticipated a quieter second-half to 2023 trading in light of gambling PLCs adjusting to new compliance demands in European markets and a combined focus on achieving US profitability topping leadership’s agenda.
 
Yet closing September, all narratives were flipped as FTSE100 giant Flutter triggers a €140m investment in MaxBet to lead its Balkans expansion.
 
Just two days later, Flutter re-emerges as a suitor to acquire Italy’s PlanetWin365 – in what analysts believe will likely be a multi-million shootout against Playtech and Lottomatica.

This will be the topic on Monday's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamerica, as James Ross returns in full force from the flu and is joined by Edward Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye.
