G3 June 2018 INSIGHT SPORTS BETTING Untapped International Sports Betting Markets There are still a large number of markets around the world where sports betting remains illegal or is underdeveloped. These markets offer huge potential but an expansion will be difficult due to a number of reasons. They include: unstable political conditions, opposition to gambling on principle and a desire to protect government controlled gambling monopolies. Why are some markets untapped, despite their potential? Which jurisdictions offer the most potential and where are we likely to see growth going forwards? What is the potential size of these markets? What obstacles currently stand in the way of land based sports betting expansion in these regions and how likely is is that these markets will open up at some point in the future?

P54 NEWSWIRE / INTERACTIVE / MARKET DATA Africa In Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana stand out as the three jurisdictions where there has been the largest expansion of the sports betting market over recent years. All three markets have been driven by an increasingly young population and the popularity of football, especially the Premier League. In Nigeria the median age is 17.9. In Ghana it stands at 21.1 years while the median age is 19.7 years in Kenya. Increased government scrutiny in all three regions has meant improving conditions for sports betting operators and a fast expansion. While sports betting is already present in these markets (with arguably some room for expansion in all three) there is still plenty of room for growth in other markets in Africa in the future. However these regions are only just putting new gaming laws in place and it could be a while before we see retail sports betting up and running in these regions.

The opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors and do not represent the views of INTERPOL or its employees. INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 5-18 March 2019 SENTENCES/SANCTIONS Chile Mauricio Alvarez-Guzman banned for life for tennis match-fixing and associated corruption offences Chilean tennis player Mauricio Alvarez-Guzman has been handed a lifetime ban from professional tennis after being found guilty of match-fixing and associated corruption offences, which breach the sport’s Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP). The 31-year old was found to have attempted to contrive the outcome of an August 2016 ATP Challenger match in Meerbusch, Germany by offering a player €1,000 to lose a set. In addition he was found guilty of contriving the singles draw of the ITF F27 Futures tournament played in July 2016 in Antalya, Turkey by purchasing a wild card for entry into the singles competition. An intention to purchase a wild card for the doubles competition of the same tournament did not come to fruition, but still stands as a corruption offence. The disciplinary case against Mr Alvarez-Guzman was considered by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Charles Hollander QC at a Hearing held in London on 11 March 2019. Having found him guilty of all charges, the lifetime ban imposed by Mr Hollander means that with effect from 14 March 2019 the player is permanently excluded from competing in or attending any tournament or event organised or sanctioned by the governing bodies of the sport.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

  • 1976 Past and Present Final V2
    Preface For most of us, there is a great satisfaction in looking back at our heritage. Then, it was a treat to cross a covered bridge, walk down a shady lane or celebrate the Fourth of July with a picnic. So many events (like threshing bees and barn raisings) meant sweat and hard work, and so many were worth the effort. For one thing, they have helped give us the affluent life style we have come to take for granted. The Bicentennial Year 1976 did make us pause and think: What are we doing for those who gave us that heritage...and who will keep the records for posterity? In the beginning, one member from nearly all area organizations was delegated to form a Bicentennial Committee. Their immediate objectives were completed, but the group had collected a great deal of historical material. It would be a shame, they felt, to have this material once more hidden by the dust of time. It seemed inevitable that all this material they'd gathered be formed into something permanent. Four Monticello people took the initial move to see what other towns were doing in this area of putting their history in book form. After the first organizational meeting, interest and support in the community grew to a gratifying level. By the portrayals and depictions in this book, the committee wishes to repay the community for its interest and support. Thomas Brusveen July, 1977 Monticello's Bicentennial observance included an ecumenical religious service on the shore of Lake Montesian...1976. Message from the Mayor It is appropriate that the Monticello Historical Committee should be formed at this time, and produce this publication.

  • Why Dfs Requires Regulation Regardless of Whether It Is
    BLANDFORD FORMATTED.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/30/17 2:20 PM WHY DFS REQUIRES REGULATION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS SKILL BASED: AN OUTLINE OF THE GROWTH OF FANTASY SPORTS, THE SCANDALS, AND A RETURN TO GAMING IN THE UNITED STATES Christopher L. Blandford* INTRODUCTION Billy was having a rough sports year. He lost a race to Jimmy Johnson,1 got spanked on the links by Rory McIlroy, and starting Big Papi resulted in a donut against David Price. To top it all off, last year’s Robert Griffin III pick crippled his fantasy team, just when he was thinking this might be the year to take the championship from his buddy, who has won it three years running. Even though Billy would never dream of winning a chess match against reigning World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen, he would still like a shot to play a couple hands of Texas Hold ‘Em against Johnny Chan or Phil Ivey. But the truth is Billy cannot afford to play against them. Even if Billy were to go to Las Vegas, unless he has a bankroll large enough to choke a dog, he cannot pay to play at a pro table because the buy-in is so high, never mind the raises. Sharks look for bigger, fatter fish. Settling in for week one of the NFL season, Daily Fantasy Football ads * J.D. Candidate, May 2017, William S.

  • Fiscal and Capacity Requirements
    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE GAMING REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY Area 2: Fiscal and Capacity Requirements October 21, 2013 0 Table of Contents 1 Approach By direction of NH RSA 284-A, the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority has directed WhiteSand to prepare a report identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the 2013 NH legislative proposals as compared to the best and most relevant components of the regulatory provisions in the other comparator states. This part of the report addresses fiscal and capacity requirements: WhiteSand has approached this particular task using a formal methodology to determine market demand. We reviewed the specific demographics and other attributes of the gaming jurisdiction to be evaluated. This included, but was not limited to, population, income levels, age distribution, nearby competition and gaming tax rates. We evaluated these factors within ranges of 30, 60 and 90 miles of the proposed gaming facility general location. In order to provide a consistent measurement of demographics within a specific region we use distance radii from the region. Using distance rather than driving time eliminates fluctuations due to drive times, day of week, unpredictable events (e.g., accidents, weather, etc.) and other factors. Distance radii are translatable to drive times in most scenarios and provide more consistent results due to the reduction of unpredictability. Using this information, we then identifed a “Competitive Set” for the proposed gaming facility - other gaming properties to be compared based on similar demographics and characteristics. While the properties identified in the competitive set usually do not provide an exact match, they present enough similarities to evaluate market demand and estimate key financial statistics.

A special thank you goes to our interviewers – Maja Jovanovic, Tara Hahmann, and Tamar Meyer. Their patience and careful interviewing was a great asset to this study. Additionally, their help with transcription and data analysis is greatly appreciated. Agata Falkowski-Ham entered the quantitative data, generated data analyses, and provided interpretations of the quantitative analyses. Agata did a marvellous job and made it easy for us to see the linkages between the qualitative (open-ended) and quantitative (closed-ended) questions in our interview schedule. Sandra Colavecchia, a recent recipient of the doctorate in sociology at the University of Toronto, devised questions that focused on the financial aspects of gambler’s households, analyzed couples’ responses, and contributed to the final report.
