Reports from the Finance Department in Delaware have claimed that the state officials are to undertake a thorough investigation on the eligibility and legality of fantasy sports betting DraftKings and FanDuel. This comes days after Nevada classified daily fantasy sports operations under gambling with an immediate banning following until the sites acquire a gambling license. The sites have been advertised frequently on TVs and a client only pays an entrance fee with a possible win of more than $1 million in cash.

Delaware Finance Secretary Tom Cook claimed that they have been on toes with events that are unfolding onfantasy sport betting and with the ban imposed on them by Nevada, Delaware had to go deeper in verifying the reason behind the existence of fantasy betting in the state.

The ban on the sports in Nevada follows the entrance of employees to these sites and this indicated a higher possibility of match fixing and other irregularities of the sport. Nonetheless, fantasy sport industry have claimed to have introduced the sport based on skill not chance and this is allowed according to the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

According to Daniel Wallach, a sports law expert based in Florida, the step initiated by gaming control board of Nevada will not get rid of fantasy sports betting in the State for good, but at least it has shown its capability and played its role in regulation of illegal sports betting in the state. He claimed that it has been evident that fantasy is typical to gambling and this would call for operational license just like all other sports betting and gambling sites have.

This coming week, the House of Representatives will undertake a voting process on whether to minimize daily fantasy sports websites in Pennsylvania which are played in the 12 casinos based in the state. It was claimed that FanDuel and DraftKings had recruited ananteroom firm in Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, the two firms have claimed that this is not real betting unlike many state heads sees it. The State Public Integrity Commission has claimed that the two firms who have retained their lobbying business in Delaware since 2002, have not spent not even a coin in lobbying businesses.

More often than not, there are a number of corruption and illegal cases that come to rise in Australian betting markets. In most cases, the illegal betting sites have found themselves colliding with law enforcements on the matter. Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that it is only the unlicensed remote betting operators go against the law. Some licensed firms have also found themselves in a hot soup when they violate the stipulated gambling rules.

This is a case that has hit CrownBet that has been subjected to a thorough investigation by the New South Wales (NSW) gaming watchdog. The betting company has been accused of using customer’s credit in the endorsement of motivational gambling. The matter has called the authorities to undertake a research and find the truth behind it.

According to the rules stipulated by the NSW Act book, the endorsement of client credit, tickets or any other aspect which may include sign up rewards is illegal. NSW watchdog claimed that it put the matter into consideration and decided to undertake an investigation mainly on the new campaign by the AFL and CrownBet NRL which goes by the title “The Game Just Changed”.

The main antagonism comes as the two advertising firm as have decided to incorporate terms that claim that each time a client places his or her bet, he or she is accorded with the CrownBet reward points that can only be redeemed at the Crown Resorts. The words further claims that in the modern world, none of these aspects have ever been introduced anywhere apart from CrownBet sites. The client should rush and register to initiate cash flow.

Reports from the Australian news have indicated that these vocabularies used in the advert by CrownBet have violated the present advertising standards stipulated by the NSW as well as The Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing. The betting firm has decided to remain calm and failed to respond to any question raised on the investigation topic.

This investigation comes after various betting firms and other stakeholders advocated for the review of the 2001 Online Gambling Act. The redrafting of these betting policies will be fundamental in keeping the advancements in technology moving upwards as well as incorporation of fresh digital consumer behaviors.

PWC has been mandated by the Responsible Gambling Trust (RGT) to conduct an investigation on the behavioral patterns of the remote betting areas. The PWC will incorporate its investigation in a two phase segment in conduct of the undercover research on whether these remote betting sites are undertaking illegal gambling. This is in response to the customer’s attitude towards betting machines that were licensed by the RGT back in December 2014.

The initial phase will involve PWC indulging in a thorough research on the existence of the remote betting sites and together with Canada’s Responsible Gambling Council will try to eradicate any harm emanating from these betting sites. The second phase of the research involves analyzing their industrial data as well as control system and come up with a proper way in recommending the various ways to be incorporated in attempt to reduce illegal betting in these sites.

RGT announced the tender in March 2015 and after a stressful selection process, PWC was chosen among the best for the job. After eight months of the research, PWC will table its final results to the RGT.

The Chief Executive of the Responsible Gambling Trust, Marc Etches claimed that the main aim of initiating this research process was not only coming up with a clear understanding of behavior portrayed by players but also make much impact in the development of the industry as well as reducing illegal betting cases. He added that the vigor selection process has seen PWC scooping the investigation tender and believed that the company would perform to the very best in coming up with solutions that would minimize if not eradicating any form of illegal betting in these remote betting sites.

At the same time, PwC Partner and Gaming Leader David Trunkfield claimed that he was happy to work closely with RTG in not only partnering in business but also doing something that would change people’s purpose and habits as far as betting is concerned. He continued to claim that his company was ready for the task ahead and would incorporate a data led approach that would in turn bring practical recommendations that would reduce any harm caused by these remote gambling sites.

A new Sport betting Integrity Action Plan has been initiated by the Sports Betting Integrity Forum (SBIF). The betting commission despite the fact that illegal betting has been minimized in the UK apart from few cases, it body is yet to be satisfied.

The new plan stipulates ways in which the government of the UK will incorporate in fighting illegal betting with more attention focused on Gambling Commission, Player Associations, Betting operators, Sports governing bodies, Law enforcements as well as the government and all these would help in the identification of match fixing scandals in order to maintain the dignity of sports betting.

Tracey Crouch the Minister for Sport and Gambling claimed that it is their duty to safeguard the veracity of sport in every way possible. She added that the main objective of the Sport Betting Integrity Action Plan is to ensure that betting in UK is made safely and eradicating any corruption case that may arise. This would give fans, viewers as well as contestants’ confidence in the faithfulness of the sport they take part in. consequently, wagers would have the freedom and would bravely place any bet without fear of losing the wage. The wagers should be accorded with trust in that they can wage their income in free and fair betting platforms.

This was echoed by the Law enforcement agencies who claimed that they would dispose every force including the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC), Police Scotland as well as the National Crime Agency (NCA) in giving mutual support to the SBI Action Plan. The agencies continued to claim that it is also their duty to protect sports betting from any corruption of illegal match fixing.

Darren Bailey and Mike O’Kane the two chairs of the SBIF claimed that keeping faithfulness in sport is fundamental in the future of betting developments in the nation. The Action Plan backed by other stakeholders will be determined to keep Sports betting pure by eradicating any threat that comes along no matter its magnitude.

This Plan is a subsidiary of the Report of the Sports Betting Integrity that was initiated in 2010 and will make way for the UK Anti-Corruption Plan initiated in 2014. The SBIF will publish reports gathered yearly starting from October this year.

It was reportedly reported that the investigation that was developed by the Hesse Ministry of Interior and Sports (HMDIS) to the regulations of the Germany online sport betting seems to have hit a rock after they were scheduled for a later time. The investigation was to be undertaken by European Court of Justice Authorities (ECJ).

Many betting firms have been hiding behind authority’s rules and regulations and avoid heavy taxation which they claim would not be crucial for their profit making. Other land based operators have indulged in illegal betting in maximizing their profits. However how these acts are against the law, it has taken the efforts of the law enforcements in fighting off these illegal acts. It has been claimed that huge sums of money have been gained through illegal betting.

It was claimed that the investigation conducted by the ECJ had come up with verdict that several online betting firms should be stripped off their licenses while others had not fulfilled the requirements to be awarded licenses. The verdict was to be made public at the middle of September but this seems to have not be the case.

Lately, the ECJ claimed that it wouldn’t rush into its final conclusion concerning the issue and would extend its D-Day by a full month up to the 22^nd day of October. It is also claimed that the main reason for this delay would be attributed to the fact that both the EU and Industry insiders had not received an official decision from the ECJ and this would continue if a clear statement is not delivered.

It is not yet clear if the HMDIS framework will be adopted by the end of 2015. As a result several shareholders have been left in darkness as they are not sure if German online sports betting will be guaranteed its operations as other operators are not sure if they would reapply a new license.

Criticism have been raised all across the year on the operations of the HMDIS regulatory body. It all started in the Q1 of 2015 when the body claimed to issue 20 operators with licenses, however, this sparked critics towards the government which was accused of segregating few operators in the awarding of the licenses.
