Northern Ireland Launches Consultation on New Gambling Laws

Northern Ireland Launches Consultation on New Gambling LawsReading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Department for Communities (DfC) in Northern Ireland has launched a public consultation on the new gambling laws.

DfC said it is seeking views on “whether changes are now necessary to ensure Northern Ireland has a more flexible and modern licensing framework capable of responding to the many societal and technical changes which have occurred in the industry.”

The consultation, which is open to views until February 21, 2020, addresses a wide range of issues, from the categorisation of gaming machines, the regulation of remote gambling, rules on gambling advertising and the law on promotional prize competitions and draws.

“With the existing legislation dating back to 1985, it really fails to address the social and technological realities of gambling in 2020. Reform is long overdue, and this renewed consultation exercise is an important first step in reframing Northern Ireland’s laws covering a diverse range of areas such as gambling, gaming, lotteries, prize competitions and advertising,” gambling law expert James Griffiths said.

“I know that the gambling industry is an important employer in Northern Ireland and that gambling is an activity which is enjoyed responsibly by a large number of people. However, it is very important to recognise that for some people, gambling has the potential to cause considerable harm. Any future changes to the law must balance the interests of the gambling industry with the need for regulation to protect vulnerable people,” Tracy Meharg, permanent secretary of DfC, said.

“There is no doubt that the current legislation is outdated and has not kept pace with industry and technological changes. This consultation will allow everyone with an interest in gambling to share their views on the current legislation and will put the department in a position to offer the best advice to an incoming minister on the future regulatory framework,” Meharg said.

Million Games is proud to announce the latest game launch of Million Blackjack London Deal, an authentic European-style blackjack experience designed for real players. This latest addition to the Million Blackjack series follows their first launch of Million Blackjack Peek, offering players an alternative way to enjoy the classic casino favourite.

Unlike its American-rules counterpart, Million Blackjack London Deal features a distinctive dealing style – cards are dealt one at a time, and the dealer takes only one card in the initial round. This subtle yet strategic difference brings a fresh challenge to blackjack enthusiasts, requiring sharper decision-making and an enhanced focus on game strategy.

Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games, commented on the significance of introducing both versions under their traditional names: “We wanted to give players the true blackjack experience. With Million Blackjack Peek and Million Blackjack London Deal, we’re providing real players with the versions they know and love, allowing them to engage with the game in its purest form.”

Million Games remains committed to delivering high-quality, player-focused experiences, and Million Blackjack London Deal is a testament to this dedication. Whether players prefer the American Peek version or the European London Deal format, Million Games ensures a seamless and engaging blackjack experience.

The upgraded offering will give operators access to increased in-play opportunities and new micro markets

Altenar has enhanced its sportsbook offering with an upgraded tennis vertical, now featuring official TDI data through a strategic integration with Sportradar.

The recent launch brings fast, live data from ATP and Challenger Tour events, increasing the number of in-play betting opportunities and introducing innovative micro markets. By leveraging Sportradar’s advanced AI and deep tennis data from TDI, Altenar can now process hundreds of thousands of data points from every match, offering a significant boost in betting options for users.

The introduction of micro markets allows users to bet on events with an immediate result, such as next serve, break points or the total number of shots in a point. This new feature is expected to enhance the user experience and drive further engagement, as micro markets have already proven to be successful in soccer and major US sports.

Altenar’s commitment to utilising premium data from official rights holders underlines its focus on delivering a superior sportsbook experience. The improvements aim to boost retention rates for operators, ultimately leading to greater revenue.

Antonis Karakousis, Director of Operations at Altenar, said: “This is a pivotal opportunity to achieve our growth ambitions. By integrating cutting-edge tennis data, we are providing unique betting options and the lowest possible latency across all our operators, driving innovation in the industry.”
