Bacta President John Bollom believes the UK industry and the Gambling Commission have what he described as a largely ‘common agenda’ in relation to the future development of the low stake gambling entertainment and seaside arcade sectors. 

Speaking after he had been part of the Bacta team which hosted Gambling Commission Deputy Chief Executive Sarah Gardner at the Admiral Adult Gaming Centre in Southampton followed by Chief Executive Andrew Rhodes at Mumbles Pier in south Wales, John Bollom reflected: “I was delighted to be able to show the senior team from the Commission around two contrasting venues both of which make significant contributions to the local economy and in the case of Mumbles Pier to regional tourism.

“I think it was extremely important to show the venues in action employing local people and providing entertainment to a cross-section of the population including residents and visitors.

“I believe that Bacta and the Commission agree on the key topics of the day not least the importance of moving forward with the recommendations included in the White Paper which both our organisations have worked so long and hard to complete.

“With the support of Novomatic’s Elizabeth Speed and Neil Finch who serves as Regional Operations Manager at Admiral we were able to highlight both the economic importance of high street AGCs and exactly how high they set the bar in terms of delivering a safe and socially responsible experience, whilst contributing to the much needed vitality of town centres.

“At Mumbles we demonstrated how the historic Pier structure  is dependent on the income generated by its FEC Arcade and how without the 100+ machines the business model would no longer be viable.”

Posting on LinkedIn following his visit, Andrew Rhodes said: “A good two days with colleagues from the Gambling Commission visiting operators and industry sectors in south Wales.

“I carry out quite a few visits throughout the year and always try to get a few in during August. It was nice to have mostly good weather to see things at their best and spend time with industry stakeholders and people working in the front-line of the business.

“As always, we were very grateful for everyone giving us their time and putting up with the disruption that naturally comes from having visitors.”

Three Nigerian Tennis Players Suspended Under Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has confirmed that three Nigerian tennis players have been sanctioned for breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme (TACP).

The sanctions are linked to a criminal case heard in 2023 involving a match-fixing syndicate in Belgium. Collaboration between the ITIA and Belgian authorities led to a five-year custodial sentence for the leader of the syndicate, Grigor Sargsyan.

The three players’ cases were ruled on by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO) Amani Khalifa.

35-year-old Henry Atseye, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1518 in September 2015, admitted to six breaches of the TACP across 2017 and 2018. The player admitted to collaborating with Karim Hossam (who was issued a lifetime ban in 2018) to commit corruption offenses, including facilitating wagering and contriving the outcome of three matches.

Atseye was issued a suspension of two years and six months, alongside a fine of $10,000. The suspension began on 14 October 2024, and will end on 13 April 2027.

Sylvester Emmanuel and Christian Paul did not respond to ITIA charges, effectively accepting liability and acceding to sanctions, as outlined under section G.1.e of the TACP.

26-year-old Emmanuel, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1097 in December 2016, and 29-year-old Paul, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1257 in May 2016, were found liable for six breaches of the TACP across 2017 and 2018 – including facilitating wagering, contriving the outcome of matches, receipt of money and failure to report corrupt approaches.

Emmanuel and Paul were issued suspensions of three years, alongside fines of $10,000. The suspensions began on 6 November 2024, and will end on 5 November 2027.

During their periods of ineligibility, the players are prohibited from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the members of the ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, Fédération Française de Tennis Wimbledon and USTA) or any national association.

The ITIA is an independent body established by its tennis members to promote, encourage, enhance and safeguard the integrity of professional tennis events worldwide.
