For a brand entering its third season with the same club, the renewal reads less like a fresh announcement and more like a verdict on what the past three years have delivered.

Operating margin widened sharply, from 19% to 30%. The lift came overwhelmingly from the Americas, where regulated growth and a strong showing from Hard Rock Bet in Florida reshaped the supplier's profit profile in half a year.
- [bet365 Now Live in Washington D.C. as It Expands Its Presence Across North America](https://igamingnewstoday.com/regions/bet365-now-live-in-washington-dc/): bet365 has announced the launch of its online sportsbook in Washington, D.C., the latest step in its continued expansion across North America.

- [Eeze Expands Malta Headquarters With New Quad Towers Office](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/eeze-expands-malta-headquarters-with-new-quad-towers-office/): Eeze, the next-generation casino supplier, has expanded its Malta headquarters with a new office at Quad Towers, adding space for a workforce that keeps outgrowing its footprint.

- [£15.5m Total Revenue, 12% Content Licensing Growth: Gaming Realms H1 2026 Under CEO Mark Segal ](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/gaming-realms-h1-2026-content-licensing-up-12-pct/): Gaming Realms plc, the AIM-listed developer and licensor of mobile gaming content, reported its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026 on 8 September 2026.

Under the deal, Robinhood will route a portion of its retail event contract volume through OG.com's underlying CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange and clearinghouse architecture alongside its existing clearing venues. It matters because it wraps event-based trading, including global sports, inside federal derivatives regulation while a major retail platform takes an ownership position in the exchange itself.

The move takes Hacksaw into one of iGaming's more prominent categories, and it does so through a format the company has built itself. The game is currently available with selected partners as a pre-release exclusive, ahead of a global release on 24 September 2026. That combination of a new category and a proprietary format is the detail operators will note, because it signals intent that goes well past a single title.

Last season's handle was $29.4 billion. In the AGA's own words, the projection indicates no growth. For a market that has grown since the Supreme Court struck down the federal sports betting ban in 2018, that is the news. The AGA's explanation for it, prediction markets, is the argument.

At the same time, the group's land-based casino portfolio returned to growth for the first time in three years. Group income rose 6.4% to R6,584 million, and the board raised the interim dividend 7.6% to 185 cents per share.

A single coupon carrying 12 English football matches, sold through a growing network of commission agents. The company marks 13 March 1948 as its start. Almost eight decades later, that modest post-war operation is Norway's state-owned gaming monopoly, running lottery, sports betting, and digital gaming behind one of the industry's earliest player-protection programmes. The Norsk Tipping history is a long-view lesson in how a state operator scales, and where it strains.

The MEGAFAIR GR8_TECH partnership is a content-distribution deal, and for a B2B supplier that's the part that counts.

It welcomed more than 2.5 million visits. And it still closed the half €6.1m in the red before corporate tax.

Margins rose, costs fell, and the value of player deposits reached an all-time high of EUR 207 million. Yet the top line slipped, and management cut its full-year outlook.

Revenue for the quarter ended 30 June came in at €8.8m, down 5% year on year. Adjusted EBITDA held at €0.8m. But the number that shapes the quarter isn't the revenue line. It's a bad-debt provision of close to €3m, tied to a customer insolvency, that dragged the operating loss to €6.9m. And behind all of it sits a proposed acquisition that would change what GiG is.

More than $23m in illegal gambling proceeds recovered. Since its launch in July 2022, the agency has treated illegal gambling as a criminal problem to be shut down, not a compliance matter to be managed.

For a sector that produces far more theory than lived testimony, that framing is where its trade relevance sits.

Underlying revenue was almost flat at NZ$822.7 million, down 0.3%, while underlying net profit after tax dropped 46.9% to NZ$38.0 million. The company says the result sits within the NZ$180 million to NZ$190 million guidance range it set in May.
- [A$3.58B Revenue and 46.6% Digital Share – The Lottery Corporation’s Wayne Pickup Leads a New Growth Chapter](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/lottery-corporation-hits-3-58b-revenue-under-wayne-pickup/): The Lottery Corporation FY26 results landed with a rare kind of contradiction. Revenue fell 2.9% to $3,576.6m and net profit after tax dropped 22.1% to $284.6m, yet the dividend didn't move. Australia's leading lottery and Keno operator held its full-year payout at 16.5 cents per share, fully franked, matching FY25. The cause of the profit slide wasn't a broken business. It was luck. Specifically, one of the worst Powerball and Oz Lotto jackpot runs in decades.

The club confirmed the extension in an announcement published on its official website on 19 August 2026. The partnership between Novibet and Panaitolikos FC first began in 2023, and the renewal now carries it forward for another two-year term.

Players opt in through a fixed $0.10 SideBet on qualifying wagers, with the Mega Jackpot seeded at $500,000 and standing above $618,000 as of the announcement date.
- [Robeson Reeves Leads Bally’s Intralot to €544.2M Revenue – 34% AEBITDA Margin Despite a €34M UK Tax Hit](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/ballys-intralot-hits-544-2m-revenue-34-pct-aebitda-margin/): Bally's Intralot has reported preliminary results for the six months to 30 June 2026, and the numbers arrive with a subplot. Group revenue reached €544.2m with adjusted EBITDA of €184.8m at a 34.0% margin. This is the first full six-month period to include Bally's International Interactive, and it's also the first to show what happens when the UK's remote gaming duty jumps from 21% to 40% mid-year. The Bally's Intralot 1H26 results are, in effect, a live experiment in absorbing a tax shock.
- [£4.04bn Revenue, 25% Gaming Growth: bet365 Expands Across Global Markets in FY2025](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/bet365-reports-4-04bn-revenue-in-fy2025/): Revenue crossed the £4 billion mark, Gaming delivered double-digit growth and bet365 continued expanding into new international markets. The operator's latest published FY2025 financial results also show how higher investment and business restructuring weighed on profitability, while the accounts disclose that the highest-paid director received £104.0 million during the reporting period.
- [REEVO Partners With Award-Winning Supplier Storm Games to Expand Its Aggregation Platform for Operators ](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/reevo-partners-with-storm-games-to-expand-platform/): REEVO has a new supplier on board, and it is one operator will recognise. On 18 August 2026, the company confirmed a new partnership with Storm Games that brings the supplier's portfolio onto the REEVO aggregation platform. For anyone already connected to REEVO, that means access to another collection of games through a single integration, with no extra technical work required. REEVO has described the move as another step in building a stronger aggregation ecosystem. It follows a run of similar signings, including when REEVO added Zitro Digital to its aggregation platform earlier the same month. 
- [Phil Walker Becomes Interim CEO of Allwyn UK – Andria Vidler Steps Down After National Lottery Transformation](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/phil-walker-becomes-interim-ceo-of-allwyn-uk-as-andria-vidler-steps-down/): Allwyn UK has appointed Phil Walker as Interim Chief Executive Officer of Allwyn Entertainment Limited, effective 7 September 2026. He succeeds Andria Vidler, who steps down after leading the operator through its Fourth National Lottery licence transition. Vidler will stay on in an advisory role to the end of October while Allwyn searches for a permanent successor. On paper, it's a routine leadership change. Look at who's coming in, and it reads as a statement of intent.
- [NorthStar Gaming Appoints Corey Goodman as CEO, Ben Powell as Interim CFO and Krisztina Kalla as VP Compliance](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/northstar-names-ceo-interim-cfo-compliance-vp-leadership-update/): NorthStar Gaming has done something most boards wait to do. On 17 August 2026, the Ontario operator confirmed its interim chief executive permanently, before the company's outstanding audits are closed. NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BET) named Corey Goodman as its Chief Executive Officer on a permanent basis, ending an interim tenure that began on 8 December 2025. The same announcement changed the finance seat and added a compliance lead. On paper, the NorthStar Gaming CEO appointment is simple. The timing around it is what makes it worth reading closely.
- [AGCO Chair Dave Forestell to Step Down After Eight Years on the Board](https://igamingnewstoday.com/legal-compliance/agco-chair-dave-forestell-to-step-down-after-eight-years/): The man who chaired iGaming Ontario at its inception and then the AGCO itself is moving on, and his successor has not yet been named.
- [Exclusive: Tony O’Mahony of Relax Gaming on AI, Product Strategy and the Future of iGaming](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/exclusive-tony-omahony-on-ai-and-relax-gamings-future/): In this exclusive interview with iGaming News Today, Tony O'Mahony, Chief Product Officer  at Relax Gaming, reflects on his journey across GiG, Lottoland, Casumo, and Relax Gaming. He shares his insights on building successful product strategies, fostering innovation, leveraging AI, creating high-performing teams, and the future of product leadership in the global gaming industry.
- [Interblock Gaming Appoints Kristin Bisignano As Chief People & Culture Officer After 20+ Years in Leadership](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/interblock-gaming-appoints-kristin-bisignano-as-chief-people-officer/): Interblock Gaming has named Kristin Bisignano as its Chief People & Culture Officer, and the appointment comes with a structural change worth more attention than the hire itself. With the move, the company's people function takes a permanent seat in the C-suite. Bisignano brings more than 20 years in people leadership, most recently as Deputy CHRO at one of the largest public transport systems in the United States. For a supplier of luxury electronic table games, this Interblock Gaming executive appointment is a bet on talent.
- [Playnetic Extends Global Reach With Light & Wonder Integration](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/playnetic-goes-live-with-light-wonder-content-marketplace/): Playnetic has gone live with Light & Wonder, placing its growing catalogue in front of operators across the aggregator's content marketplace. The Playnetic Light & Wonder agreement, announced on 18 August 2026, opens the studio's portfolio, including its Hold n' Win titles, to operators on the marketplace network in a single move. The company calls it another step in its international expansion. It arrives on the back of a busy year: only weeks earlier, the studio went live with Stake in a major tier-one distribution expansion, and the Light & Wonder go-live extends that same distribution push onto marketplace rails.
- [Play’n GO Strengthens Swiss Presence With StarVegas.ch Launch](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/play-n-go-expands-swiss-presence-with-starvegas-ch-launch/): Play'n GO has taken its game portfolio live with StarVegas.ch, the online casino brand of Casino Interlaken, in Switzerland. The Play'n GO StarVegas.ch launch, gives Swiss players access to titles including Book of Dead, Reactoonz, Fire Joker and Rise of Olympus, with the operator planning to add the studio's full catalogue over time. It's a single distribution deal. But the market it lands in makes it worth a closer look. The move continues a run of regulated-market activity for the supplier, coming weeks after Play'n GO entered Alberta's regulated iGaming market with more than ten operators on day one, and it points to the same priority: licensed depth over easy reach.
- [From Riverboat to Landside in 2029 – PENN Entertainment’s Jay Snowden Plans a $195M Hollywood Casino New Orleans](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/penns-jay-snowden-plans-195m-hollywood-casino-new-orleans/): CEO Jay Snowden tied the decision directly to capital discipline. "This investment reflects our disciplined approach to capital allocation, prioritizing organic growth opportunities that build on our operational strengths and are expected to deliver compelling returns," he said. On the competitive angle, he set the New Orleans move against PENN's earlier ones: "As with our previous relocations, we expect our new facility to enhance the customer experience and strengthen the property's competitive position in the New Orleans market." Read together, the two lines frame this as a defensive-and-offensive move at once: protect a known revenue base, and sharpen it against local competition.
- [Fiona Power Joins The Unit as Chief Commercial Officer – Bringing 12+ Years of Flutter and FanDuel Experience](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/fiona-power-joins-the-unit-as-chief-commercial-officer/): The Unit has appointed Fiona Power as its new Chief Commercial Officer, a move that says as much about where the product-development studio is heading as it does about who is joining. Effective 17 August 2026 and based in New York, Power takes on commercial strategy, market analysis and new partnership development across the US and international markets, working alongside Co-Founder Paddy Casey and Chief Revenue Officer Mark O'Hare. She joins on a contract basis.
- [Galaxy Gaming Cancels All Outstanding Warrants, Removing Approximately 3% Potential Dilution](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/galaxy-gaming-warrant-cancellation/): Galaxy Gaming has cancelled every warrant it had outstanding. On 17 August 2026, the Las Vegas table-games and technology supplier (OTCQB: GLXZ) said it had retired 778,320 common stock purchase warrants held by affiliated entities of its former lender, Fortress Credit Corp. The cancellation removes roughly 3% of the company's fully diluted share count. The Galaxy Gaming warrant cancellation cost about $1.2m in cash, funded from cash on hand, and leaves the company with no warrants outstanding. That cash came from a business that only weeks earlier guided to record recurring revenue and around 8% year-on-year growth, which is the free cash flow now funding moves like this one. 
- [Chris Armes Joins Veikkaus as EVP Gaming Technologies – A New Technology Chapter Begins](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/chris-armes-joins-veikkaus-as-evp-gaming-technologies/): The Veikkaus Chris Armes appointment gives Finland's state operator a new Executive Vice President, Gaming Technologies, and a fresh member of its Executive Team. Armes will lead the technology function from Veikkaus' Helsinki headquarters, starting in the role during fall 2026. On its own, an executive hire is routine. This one reads differently once you look at who is being hired, and when.
- [DigiPlus Names Teneo Strategic Advisor to Back Its Global Growth Plans](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/digiplus-appoints-teneo-to-support-global-expansion/): DigiPlus Interactive Corp, the Philippine operator behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, has appointed the global CEO advisory firm Teneo as its strategic advisor. The company says the move supports its push for opportunities beyond the Philippines, with Teneo providing senior counsel on complex business environments and helping it weigh emerging opportunities and risks. The DigiPlus Teneo strategic advisor appointment was confirmed by the company on 17 August 2026. It lands in a year that has already seen the operator post a stronger core bottom line, having reported higher Q2 profit as monthly bettors jumped 26% a fortnight earlier, so the advisory hire arrives from a position of momentum rather than pressure.
- [ADGM FSRA and GCGRA Sign MoU to Strengthen UAE Regulatory Cooperation](https://igamingnewstoday.com/legal-compliance/adgm-fsra-and-gcgra-sign-uae-gaming-mou/): ADGM's Financial Services Regulatory Authority has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, the UAE's federal regulator for commercial gaming. The ADGM FSRA GCGRA MoU, announced on 14 August 2026, sets up a formal framework for regulatory cooperation and the exchange of information in support of each body's supervisory responsibilities. No enforcement action. No operator names. Just infrastructure. And it lands as the UAE moves toward a regulated online gaming framework built around one licence per emirate, which is exactly the kind of market that needs its regulatory wiring in place first.
- [Bally’s Reports $792.2M Revenue in Q2 2026 Under Robeson Reeves and Mira Mircheva](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/ballys-reports-792-2m-q2-2026-revenue-under-reves/): Bally's Corporation reported second-quarter 2026 results, posting consolidated revenue of $792.2 million, up 20.5% year-on-year. Growth came from its Intralot B2C business and its North America Interactive arm. But the quarter was also the first to fully carry the UK gaming tax rise from 21% to 40%, and the way that hit landed on B2C earnings is the more instructive story for anyone operating in the regulated gaming market.
- [Exclusive: Belatra CMO Kateryna Goi on Authentic Branding in the AI Era, Human Connections and Leadership](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/exclusive-belatra-cmo-kateryna-goi-on-branding-in-ai-era/): In this exclusive interview with iGaming News Today, Kateryna Goi, Chief Marketing Officer at Belatra, shares how her experience across exhibition management and iGaming marketing has shaped her strategic approach to brand building. She discusses the importance of understanding local markets, balancing creativity with data, the evolving role of industry events, AI's impact on marketing, leadership, and the trends that will shape the future of global iGaming marketing.
- [Gaming Corps Delivers Strong Q2 2026 Results as Juha Kauppinen and Fredrik Geijer Scale Game Production](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/gaming-corps-q2-2026-results-driven-by-game-production/): Gaming Corps has reported net revenue of MSEK 21.1 for the second quarter of 2026, up 106% on the same period last year and 40% on the previous quarter. The Gaming Corps Q2 2026 results also show narrowing losses and a widening casino footprint, with a run of partner deals following in the weeks after the period closed. The company remains loss-making. But the direction of travel is hard to miss.

- [Grandstand Q2 Sports Data Revenue Jumps 12% as Company Maintains 2026 Guidance](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/grandstand-q2-2026-results-revenue-sports-data-growth/): The first quarter under the new Grandstand name shows a business tilting toward US-facing sports data even as the headline numbers soften.
- [Paysafe Q2 Revenue Hits $447.4M as North American iGaming Boosts Merchant Solutions](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/paysafe-q2-revenue-rises-4-on-igaming-growth/): Paysafe reported its second quarter 2026 results, and the headline reads quiet: revenue of $447.4m, up 4% on the same period last year. Look one layer down, though, and the quarter is more interesting than that number suggests. The part of the business that processes payments for iGaming operators did the heavy lifting, while the consumer wallet side cooled. That divergence, alongside a refinancing of a significant portion of the company's debt, is the real story for anyone whose business runs on Paysafe's rails. The result also fits a longer arc: the company has spent three decades reshaping itself from a single processor into a multi-rail platform, a path traced in our feature on how Paysafe became a global payments platform. 
- [Gambling Regulation News: Four Markets, Four Different Moves in One Week](https://igamingnewstoday.com/legal-compliance/weekly-gambling-regulation-uk-ontario-colombia-august-2026/): Gambling regulation news rarely arrives with a single theme, and this week made the point plainly. Across four jurisdictions, regulators and government bodies took markedly different action within a handful of days. Britain went on the offensive against illegal operators, backed by the same licensing regime you can trace right back to the policy decisions that built the UK Gambling Commission and the Gambling Act 2005 framework. Ontario moved to discipline a licensed venue over a March inspection. Colombia eased the rules to help operators recover from a natural disaster. And Sri Lanka spent the week building digital and AI capacity rather than policing play. Same news week. Four very different definitions of the job.
- [Genting Singapore Reports H1 2026 Results Under Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/genting-singapore-h1-2026-results-under-lim-kok-thay/): Genting Singapore has reported its first-half 2026 results, and the two numbers at the top move in opposite directions. Revenue came in broadly flat at S$1,203.6m for the six months to 30 June 2026. Net profit fell 34% to S$156.1m. For a business that barely lost a dollar of sales, that's a steep drop in earnings - and the reason sits almost entirely in one place. The Genting Singapore H1 2026 results are a spending-cycle story, not a demand one.
- [Mohegan Delivers Strong Q3 FY2026 Growth as Joe Hasson and Ari Glazer Drive Digital Profitability](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/mohegan-q3-fy2026-growth-driven-by-digital-profitability/): Mohegan reported its Q3 2026 results, and on paper it was a blowout. Net income of US$296.0m, against a small loss a year earlier. Look closer, though, and most of that jump is an accounting event, not an operating one. The quarter that ended 30 June was carried by something quieter and, for operators watching from the outside, more important: a record run from the company's online division.
- [Awager BetMGM Partnership Brings Real Land-Based Slot Machines Online in New Jersey](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/awager-betmgm-partnership-goes-live-in-nj/): For years, online casino content has moved on two tracks. RNG slots on one side. Live dealer tables on the other. On 14 August 2026, the Awager BetMGM partnership quietly opened up a third. Awager, an Aristocrat company, has made its live-streamed slots available to BetMGM and Borgata Online players in New Jersey, letting them reach out and play real, physical slot machines from a distance, through a live feed. And the parent behind it is no newcomer to reinvention. Aristocrat has spent seven decades remaking itself from a land-based machine maker into a diversified gaming and digital business, which makes this kind of hybrid product feel less like a gamble and more like a next step.
- [US$1.25bn Revenue, US$303.8m EBITDA: Melco Resorts Reports Q2 2026 Results Under CEO Lawrence Ho](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/melco-q2-2026-results-revenue-1-25bn-ebitda-303-8m-falls/): Melco Resorts posted a softer second quarter, and the numbers look worse at a glance than they do on inspection. In results announced on 13 August 2026, the Macau and Europe casino operator reported Q2 2026 revenue of US$1.25bn, down roughly 6% from US$1.33bn a year earlier, with Adjusted Property EBITDA falling to US$303.8m from US$377.7m.
- [Galaxy Entertainment Group Reports HK$24.2B Revenue in 1H 2026 Under Francis Lui](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/galaxy-entertainment-group-reports-hk-24-2b-1h-2026-revenue/): Galaxy Entertainment posted Q2 2026 results that look, at first glance, like a step back. Group net revenue of HK$11.8bn, down 2% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA of HK$3.4bn, down 5%. Yet the company also raised its interim dividend to HK$0.90 per share and reported Group Normalized Adjusted EBITDA up 8% YoY. For one of Macau's three original concessionaires, the Galaxy Entertainment Q2 2026 results are less about a soft quarter and more about what's holding steady beneath it.
- [Continent 8 Launches Loyalty+ to Drive Proactive iGaming Cybersecurity](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/continent-8-launches-loyalty-plus-rewards-programme/): Continent 8 Technologies has launched Loyalty+, a cybersecurity rewards programme open only to its customers. The idea is simple but pointed. Customers earn 5% back on what they already spend, and that reward doesn't come as a discount, it comes as credit towards security services. In a sector where security budgets often get signed off only after something breaks, the design tells you as much as the press release does. The move also lands during a busy stretch for the company, which recently appointed Mike Small as CEO as it sharpens its focus on managed security.
- [Pollard Banknote Posts $154.8M Revenue in Q2 2026 Under John Pollard and Doug Pollard ](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/pollard-banknote-q2-2026-revenue-hits-154-8m/): Pollard Banknote reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $154.8m, up 8.5% from $142.7m a year earlier, with adjusted EBITDA of $31.1m and gross margin climbing to 18.1%. The Colorado Lottery moved to award the supplier a digital solutions contract during the quarter - its third iLottery win since 2024. Shortly after the quarter closed in July, its long-running Michigan iLottery contract ended. New business in, old business out. That tension runs through the whole report.
- [Mindway AI and GamScore Partner to Strengthen Player Protection](https://igamingnewstoday.com/legal-compliance/mindway-ai-gamscore-partnership/): Safer-gambling tech usually forces a choice. Either the player owns the data and picks what to share, or the operator runs the detection and sees the lot. The Mindway AI GamScore partnership, announced on 12 August 2026, bets those two approaches do more together than apart. It's also the latest in a run of tie-ups from the Danish firm, which recently teamed up with Amelco to strengthen its compliance and licensing reach, a sign of how busy this end of the market has become.
- [Bragg Gaming Group Reports Q2 2026 Results Under Matevž Mazij and Robert Bressler ](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/bragg-gaming-group-q2-2026-results-under-mazij/): Bragg Gaming Group reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 22.89m (USD 26.1m), down 12% on the same period last year. On its own, that's a soft number. Read alongside the rest of the quarter, it's something more deliberate. Adjusted EBITDA held flat at EUR 3.5m, the margin rose to 15% from 13%, and the company withdrew its full-year 2026 guidance after closing an acquisition. The Bragg Q2 2026 results are less an earnings update than a progress report on a cost-out.
- [From Payments Processing to a Global Fintech Platform: The Evolution of Paysafe](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/how-paysafe-became-a-global-payments-platform/): Paysafe did not become a global fintech platform through a single decision. It got there through a run of acquisitions, ownership changes and product bets stretched across more than thirty years. What began as a payments-focused operation now runs an ecosystem covering merchant solutions, digital wallets, eCash and online banking, serving both consumers and businesses across digital commerce and regulated sectors including iGaming. For operators, the more interesting question is not what Paysafe sells today, but how the shape of the company changed to sell it. That evolution has kept pace with a wider shift in how payment providers position themselves in gaming, a theme covered in more detail in our look at Paysafe's move into crypto payments across US iGaming and fantasy sports.
- [High Roller Chief Product Officer Appointment Signals ROLR Prediction Markets Push](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/high-roller-thomas-scaria-chief-product-officer/): High Roller Technologies (NYSE: ROLR) has appointed Thomas Scaria to a newly created Chief Product Officer role. Scaria reports to CEO Seth Young and takes direct ownership of product strategy for the company's ROLR prediction markets platform, which High Roller is preparing to launch at home and internationally. The appointment lands a couple of months after the company began building the ROLR brand in public, having opened a $25 million free-to-trade challenge ahead of the regulated product to start forming a trader community early. It's a single hire. But the shape of it says plenty.
- [Rank Group FY2026 £835M Revenue, £78.6M Profit – CEO Richard Harris Signals Strong FY2027 Momentum](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/rank-group-fy2026-835m-revenue-78-6m-profit/): Rank Group has reported underlying operating profit up 21% to £78.6m for the year to 30 June 2026, on gaming revenue of £834.1m, up 6%. Yet the Rank Group FY26 results also show statutory operating profit falling to £55.7m and basic earnings per share dropping to 6.4p. Two operating profit figures, one company, moving in opposite directions. The board still raised the total dividend 35% to 3.50p. Understanding the gap between those numbers is the point.
- [Entain H1 2026 Results Beat Expectations as UK Tax Bites and CEE Exit Begins](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/entain-h1-2026-results/): Entain has delivered its H1 2026 results, and the half-year is a clean beat wrapped around an awkward truth. For the six months to 30 June 2026, group net gaming revenue rose 5% at constant currency, with online up 7% and retail up 1%. Both channels came in ahead of plan. Yet group underlying EBITDA fell 2% to £479m, and the group posted a loss after tax of £11.4m. The results land during a busy stretch for the group, which recently strengthened its board with the appointment of Sheila Bangalore as an independent director. The reason behind the profit dip is tax, and it matters to every UK-facing operator.
- [Hard Rock Bet, The Fort and APP Tour Unite to Build Pickleball’s Next Entertainment Ecosystem](https://igamingnewstoday.com/sports-betting/hard-rock-bet-the-fort-and-app-tour-build-pickleball/): Hard Rock Bet has been named Official Partner of The Fort and Official Sports Betting Partner of the APP Tour, the Association of Pickleball Players. The Hard Rock Bet APP Tour deal folds the operator into the daily life of The Fort, the Fort Lauderdale venue the APP describes as America's top pickleball destination and its official headquarters. The marquee grandstand court is now the Hard Rock Bet Violet Court.
- [Jeff Bandman Named Kalshi Prime CEO to Lead Perpetual Futures Expansion](https://igamingnewstoday.com/company-news/jeff-bandman-named-kalshi-prime-ceo-to-lead-perpetual/): Kalshi has appointed Jeff Bandman as chief executive of Kalshi Prime, the company's CFTC-registered futures commission merchant. The move puts a familiar figure in charge of the vehicle that serves customers of Kalshi's margined perpetual futures business. Bandman led Kalshi's regulatory strategy from its earliest days and helped secure the company's 2020 designation as a CFTC-regulated exchange. He now returns to steer its most significant product expansion since launching its core event contracts platform. 
- [Games Valley Adds Aviator Studio to Its Growing Operator Network](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/games-valley-adds-aviator-studio-to-its-game-portfolio/): Games Valley has added Aviator Studio to its content-partner portfolio, the aggregation platform The agreement makes Aviator Studio's content, led by its Aviator crash game, available to operators across regulated markets through Games Valley's single API integration. It also lands during a busy stretch for the platform, which recently strengthened its commercial team with the appointment of Robert Dowling as chief revenue officer. The Games Valley Aviator Studio partnership is modest in scale. What it signals about where distribution power sits is not.
- [Kalamba Games Enters Greece Through Exclusive Novibet Launch](https://igamingnewstoday.com/casino-games/kalamba-games-launches-in-greece-with-novibet/): Kalamba Games is heading into Greece. The Malta and Kraków slots studio announced o that its Greek market entry runs through an exclusive partnership with Novibet, set to place its full portfolio of video slots on the operator's platform. Kalamba says it secured regulatory approval for the jurisdiction as part of the entry. Short announcement, longer signal. Novibet is no minor partner to launch behind either, having posted numbers that put it firmly among the market's faster-growing GameTech names, as covered in Novibet's €395m GGR run. That scale is part of what makes the Greek tie worth a closer look.
- [evoke Reports Resilient H1 2026 Results Under Per Widerström and Sean Wilkins](https://igamingnewstoday.com/finance/evoke-stays-resilient-despite-46m-tax-hit-in-h1-2026/): evoke, the group behind William Hill, 888 and Mr Green, has posted its evoke H1 2026 results, and the number that frames everything is £46m. That's the year-on-year rise in gaming duties the group absorbed in six months, most of it in the UK.
