Gibraltar is set to implement a new, tiered system for gambling licence fees, meaning that larger operators will pay more and smaller ones less, as part of a package of reforms for the point-of-supply market.

The British Overseas Territory launched a consultation on new licence fees, following its earlier proposal for a new Gambling Act.

Previously, operators of remote betting, remote gaming, other remote products, land-based gaming and retail betting each had to pay a £100,000 licence fee every year. B2B suppliers, meanwhile, were required to pay an £85,000 annual fee.

However, in its consultation, the government said that “licensing fees for startup operators and small operators who are building for growth can be a disproportionate cost in the early stages of the life cycle of the business”.

As a result, it opted for a new, tiered system for remote betting and gaming licences, based on annual gross gambling yield (GGY).

Player spending for the month amounted to $39.3m (£34.9m/€40.0m), up 57.2% from $25.0m in September 2021 and also 39.4% higher than the $28.2 wagered by consumers in August of this year.

Sportradar gains sub-licence for ATP tennis data

Sportradar has agreed a deal with Tennis Data Innovations (TDI) and IMG, allowing it access to a sub-licence for ATP tennis data.

This new partnership focuses on the creation of a new secondary feed, which will grant access of betting-related services based on official ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour scores to a number of bookmakers worldwide.

The new feed will deliver scores directly from the umpire’s chair and offer complete and uninterrupted coverage of events across the whole season. Consequently, this will allow bookmakers to ensure more stable and reliable in-play betting markets and improve customer experience.

The data in the new feed is delivered in parallel with the existing official fast data feed which was from IMG Arena. By offering an alternative feed to bookmakers, the reach of official data is expanded and it increases the access to tennis betting experiences powered by official scores.

“By taking a constructive and innovative commercial approach, TDI has found a ..
