2015 has certainly been a year of many mergers and news that somehow reshaped the iGaming industry in many ways. It is also the year of the launch of EEG(Eastern European Gaming), a company which has expanded into several activities that serve the gambling industry with A-Z services for affiliate programs and operators alike .

Emerging markets have become a new trend and we are certainly very glad to achieve so many of our set goals. We can now say that the voyage on we have embarked is running at full speed and our destination is getting closer every day. The destination being to overcome all obstacles that stand in our way of success and create a better environment for affiliates and affiliate programs that strive to enter the Central and Eastern European markets.

We plan to reach the destination within the next 2-3 years and we need all the help we can get from the individuals and companies in the industry to come and share their stories of success and inspire the next generation of affiliates and affiliate managers.

Here are the most important achievement of EEG B2B Services since its launch (13.01.2015) up-to-date:

Launched the EEG iGaming Directory – iGaming focused directory where companies can add the details of their business, push out Press Releases and engage with new customers

However, our business plan doesn’t end here, we are looking to expand our services to a larger audience involved in the iGaming industry to become the leaders of the region and demographic.

And as the Holiday Season is upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and on those who have helped us shape our business.

We value our relationship with each and every partner that has engaged our services and look forward to working with you in the year to come.

European regulators to ban binary options and crackdown on spread betting

Published

European regulators revealed plans to outlaw one of the most popular trading products available to the public.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) wants to ban the sale of binary options to retail clients.

The prohibition is part of a wider clampdown on the spread betting sector that would also see contracts for differences leverage (CFD) limits – the amount of risk/reward a retail investor can expose themselves to – dramatically reduced.

One year ago, City watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), surprised the spread betting sector by unveiling its own plans to protect retail investors. A number of other European regulators followed suit and during this summer the matter was passed onto ESMA, so changes could be imposed Europe-wide.

ESMA said it will conduct “a brief public consultation in January 2018” on its plans. Once put in place, it would be the first time ESMA has used so-called “intervention powers” in financial markets.

The changes may come as a blow to some spread betting firms, which have booked bumper profits during 2017.

Others, of which CMC Markets has been very vocal on several occasions, believe the clampdown will help business by forcing rivals that focus on “lower-value” customers out of business.

William Hill airs concerns over NYX-Scientific Games deal

William Hill has said that it is to consider its options regarding Scientific Games’ proposed acquisition of NYX Gaming Group.

In September, Scientific Games agreed to acquire NYX for approximately CAD$775m (€525m/US$609.2m), in a deal it said would lead to the creation of a “global digital gaming and lottery powerhouse”.

However, William Hill has now said it will look in detail at the deal in regards to contractual rights it obtained when it enabled NYX to purchase OpenBet.

William Hill said “no decision has been made at this time” and, despite reports, “refutes in the strongest terms that any anti-competitive measure have been requested or is being demanded”.

The company added: “William Hill confirms that it has issued a conversion notice to convert its holding of convertible preference shares and has commenced legal action in order that it may also vote such shares at the special meeting of shareholders.

“William Hill does not wish to make any further comment on those proceedings at this time, other to confirm that it will continue to act in the best interests of its shareholders.”

William Hill owns and controls 6,800,000 ordinary shares of NYX and £80m of preference shares of NYX Digital Gaming, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NYX.

Theses shares are initially convertible into approximately 40,723,339 ordinary shares of NYX, based on an initial conversion price of CAD$3.67 per ordinary share.
