Delasport is entering the UK market
Delasport has acquired the prestigious UK B2B Remote Gambling Software License and Remote Betting Host Real Events License, allowing it to continue its rapid global expansion. With the new licenses, Delasport will be able to provide operators in the largest iGaming market in Europe with access to their leading Sportsbook and services.
As one of the world’s most mature regulated markets, UK operators will be able to leverage Delasport’s iFrame and Sportsbook offering, including: a full betting coverage of 125+ sports, 100,000 pre-match events, and 70,000 monthly live events across 3000+ markets, as well as personalization tools like geolocation content, favorites, and personal trader; all of which are integrated with smart player engagement tools such as multiplayer tournaments, missions, badges, and more.
This is the seventh market entry for Delasport in just six months, showcasing iGaming innovator’s drive for growth in global regulated markets. So far this year, Delasport has entered the Netherlands, Sweden, Malta, and Denmark, as well as being fully compliant in Mexico and Germany.
Oren Cohen Shwartz, CEO of Delasport, comments on the license acquisition: “Entering the UK market is the latest in a line of significant victories for our global expansion. We have worked very hard to be able to participate in Europe’s most popular iGaming industry, and we look forward to developing further in it. We are also eager to collaborate with both new and current partners to present our extensive portfolio to UK gamers who want the best.
In order to compete successfully in their market, boost acquisition conversion, and maximize player retention, operators need the greatest products and services available. We are the only owners of all of our products’ intellectual property, which gives us control over the roadmap, and the freedom to respond to partner demands and changes in the market.
By using innovation to push the envelope, we can maximize the player experience through personalization, content localization, and unique betting. Additionally, we spice up the player experience even more with a robust suite of cross-product player engagement tools including tournaments, missions, levels, badges, spin-to-win, and more. It’s time to grow.”

The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has warned 711 BV, a provider of online games of chance, for showing gambling ads on a website aimed at minors. The warning followed a report from a parent who saw an advertising banner from 711 on a website linked to homework assignments from primary schools.
By law, gambling providers are not allowed to advertise to vulnerable groups, including minors. This form of advertising is considered by the KSA to be very harmful and therefore a serious violation. Taking action against such advertising and taking extra care to protect minors and young adults will be a priority for the KSA in 2025.
The 711 advertising campaign was carried out by an external partner. This party placed banners on various websites, including sites that are (partly) aimed at minors. In a conversation with the KSA, 711 indicated that it had already discovered this itself after an internal investigation and had taken measures to prevent recurrence. The provider did not report this, but should have done so: licensees are obliged to inform the KSA of errors on their part that could pose a danger to consumers.
The KSA dealt with the violation with a warning, because 711 itself had discovered and ended the violation and taken measures to prevent recurrence.

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has issued a warning to operators, reminding them that failure to submit regulatory returns on time may lead to penalties and further enforcement actions.
The warning follows a spate of fines against operators who have failed to submit a regulatory return in the required timeframes for each type of activity for which they hold a licence.
Since October more than ten businesses have been fined up to £750 for not correctly completing and submitting regulatory returns within the required timeframe.
John Pierce, Commission Director of Enforcement, said: “Despite early engagement and the issuing of advice notices, further failures to comply with the regulatory returns process were identified in these cases. Operators are expected to understand their reporting obligations and must ensure returns are submitted on time via our online portal.”
“Repeated breaches and persistent non-compliance is likely to result in escalating enforcement action.”
On 1 July 2024, Licence Condition 15.3.1 – General and regulatory returns of the Licence Conditions Codes of Practice was updated to require all licensees to submit regulatory returns on a quarterly basis replacing the previous annual basis.
The next quarterly returns are due by 28 April 2025 and can be submitted via the eServices digital service on the UKGC’s website.
