      FSB is ready to enter the US market after securing significant working capital from Toronto-based private equity firm Clairvest this summer. Speaking at last month’s Betting on Sports conference, FSB CEO Dave McDowell admitted that he was careful not to overpromise and underdeliver when the US market initially opened last year. However, with the support of Clairvest, he thinks that his company has put in place “the right architecture” which allows it to “deploy different enterprise solutions across multiple states and aggregate the data into a common central risk management team.” He also suggested that there is plenty of “buyer’s remorse” amongst those operators who made knee-jerk supplier choices around what was available in order to go live quickly. “It’s blatantly obvious that the US is going to be one of the largest regulated sports betting markets in the next five years,” added McDowell. “We need to be there, but what we’re trying to do is leverage o...

In this blog today, we are going to discuss just a couple of those standards and why they’re important to uphold.   The first point this blog will discuss is that of not appealing to under 18s. This may sound really simple but since the world has become a place where under 18s will put money into games such as EA Sports FIFA, with the hope of packing a Lionel Messi, the lines have become slightly blurred. So how best to keep this demographic at arm’s length? Generally, the key is to avoid any particular wording that makes gambling sound enticing. Surely that’s the idea of marketing, I hear you ask. Well, in this industry, not necessarily. In fact, most punters will typically come to you for the best odds or promot...
