Registration is not required for the promotion. Once the Ukash deposit is made, the lucky draw ticket will be automatically issued by Neteller. As stated by the payment processor, the more the amount deposited by players, the greater will be their chance to win.

Players from as many as 12 countries can use the prepaid voucher offered by Ukash to fund Neteller electronic wallets. The instant method of making payments has been in use in countries like Spain, Ireland and the U.K for several years. Now, players from Greece, Portugal, Netherlands, Italy, France, Finland, Belgium and Austria can also use the payment method to fund their online gaming accounts.

Ladbrokes's Take-over Deal of Sportingbet Still Undecided

Posted on February 15, 2026 by GamblingNews

Ladbrokes's take-over deal with Sportingbet is on a halt, and will remain so until February 17th by when Ladbrokes is expected to declare whether or not it wants to go ahead with the buy-out. Discussions of the deal were initiated in February this year. The delay with regard to its finalization was due to some legacy issues of Sportingbet's arm in Turkey.

Analysts' View on the Deal

Richard Glynn, who was appointed as the CEO of Ladbrokes last year, has an important decision to make with regard to the Sportingbet deal. Analysts view this as a big opportunity for Glynn to prove himself. Ladbrokes, which failed in its earlier attempt this year to buy 888 Holdings, is expected to take a positive step this time. The major concerns regarding the Sportingbet deal is regarding the company's operations in Turkey – a country where online gambling is illegal. Sportingbet receives about 22% of its gaming revenues from its Turkish operations.

The price of the deal is settled at 70p per share. Sportingbet is quite unhappy with Ladbrokes raising issues related to legal risks at a point when talks regarding the take-over deal was about to begin.

The February 17th deadline can be extended but Ladbrokes is likely to throw some lights on the situation soon. Till then, neither of the companies involved is ready to comment.

Ladbrokes' Growth Scenario

Glynn, who started heading the company in February 2026, has employed specific strategies to enhance the image of Ladbrokes. Investments have been made on technology and modifications of game formats and machines as per the requirements of specific jurisdictions.

Revenue generated from machines was quite high during the first half of the year. For each terminal, the gross win was recorded to rise by 15%. The firm made an overall profit of 16.9%. However, shares have dropped by 25% as a consequence of the restrictions on betting.

Online Gambling Promoted in New Jersey for Revenue Generation

Posted on February 14, 2026 by GamblingNews

Lawmakers in South Jersey, who had a strong hold on the gambling industry in Atlantic City all this while, have started to loosen up. A number of racetracks struggling in Atlantic City, have not been paid attention for quite a long time. There is a consensus among law-makers that this is not the right way to go about the process as the economy gets affected significantly.

Online Gambling Necessary to Revive the Economy

Regulatory Oversight and Gaming Committee's member, Assemblyman Ralph Caputo stated that it is time to admit that the state is facing direct competition from casinos in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. It is high-time that steps are taken in New Jersey to give the economy a push.

Caught in a revenue drop of 5 years, Atlantic City was experiencing an unstable economy some years back. The competition from casinos operating in the surrounding states added to its misery. The New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association stated that revenues earned through horse betting had helped the state to deal with its economic instability when inflation was at its peak.

Gov. Chris Christie's Stands

A legislation was signed this summer by Gov. Chris Christie which paved the way for a takeover of Monmouth Park racetracks and the Meadowlands privately. Although Christie opposes gambling operations outside Atlantic City, lawmakers have not ceased their initiatives to promote online gambling. Monmouth County's republican legislators urged Christie to look into the matter and reconsider his oppositions. Supporters of slot machines stated that these are capable of generating revenues ranging between $500 million and $700 million.

Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon's Thoughts

After learning about the recent development of a farm which operates for the breeding of standardbred horses, to be closing in two years, Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon's stated that the bordering states of New Jersey have been provided with slots and different types of tools for convenient gambling. It is high time that New Jersey also starts thinking along these lines to prevent more farms from experiencing closures.

Casino Construction Proposal in Maine Opposed by Animal Rights Group

Posted on February 13, 2026 by GamblingNews

A proposal to build a casino in the second largest city of Maine, although supported by entrepreneurs and leaders of the local community, has been opposed by an animal rights group. It proposed constructing a racetrack in the eastern and southern part of Maine.

Arguments Supporting the Project

Long and short-term jobs will be created if a casino is built in downtown Lewiston, as suggested by the supporters of the project. Larry Gilbert, the mayor of Lewiston, stated that he has not yet heard of any organized opposition against the proposed project. Voters have been asked to express their views for or against the proposal to construct a casino. Voting will take place on February 8th through a ballot system.

Redevelopment LLC and Great Falls Recreation have agreed to spend about $100 million for the project. The plan is to construct a casino with table games and slot machines. The casino has been planned to be constructed on Bates Mill No. 5 – a large textile mill. It has been out of operation for many years. The proposal also stated that around 800 workers will be employed during the construction and 500 will be provided with full-time jobs once the casino starts operating in 2026. The project is endorsed by the Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council and the Lewiston City Council.

Project Opponents

The executive director of Casinos No 1, Dennis Bailey said that there is hardly an example of a town benefitting from a casino built on it. Bailey stated that such casinos drive business away rather than to it.

An organization for animal rights is also opposing the proposed project. Their plan is to build a racetrack casino instead. The project is worth $120 million. It will create about 800 construction jobs and more than 500 permanent jobs, if approved. Once sanctioned, the race track will come into action in 2026.

Ladbrokes Takeover of Sportingbet Stalled

Posted on February 12, 2026 by GamblingNews

Ladbrokes, the UK based gambling company, has encountered difficulties in its acquisition of rival company, Sportingbet. Buying over Sportingbet would have made Ladbrokes one of the major players in the online gambling industry in the UK. Though initially seen as a great way to catch up with its main rival, the company’s legal advisors are now worried that it is a bad bet.

The reason for the problems lies with Sportingbet’s operations based in Turkey. Turkish law prohibits online gambling and this makes the acquisition a risky one. Though Sportingbet is selling the Turkish side of the business to Gaming VC, the takeover has been stalled by legal worries that it is a legacy risk. 22 percent of Sportingbet’s revenue stems from its Turkish operations.

Similar issues occurred in 2026 when Ladbrokes tried to take over another online gaming operator, 888 Holdings. When negotiations resumed, the deal fell through, this time over issues of price. Ladbrokes appears to be looking for ways to prevent legacy risks. One tactic is to get Sportingbet to share the risks with them. The company also seems unsure about the volatile nature of the markets in recent times and is unwilling to take bold risks.

According to a reliable source, a safeguard had been set in place to protect the company with regards to Sportingbet. This was to ensure that Ladbrokes would not face legal trouble from the Turkish Government. However, the company is now trying to avoid any challenges caused by the unregulated countries that Sportingbet deals with, as it does not want to be involved in any international issues.

Shares for Sportingbet closed last Friday, with the value of the company at 302 million pounds. Currently, the deadline for Ladbrokes to make its decision is February 17th. This could get extended, depending on how the negotiations progress between the two.
