BGC Statement on the Appointment of Lord Charles Allen as Chair of the British Horseracing Authority
Michael Dugher, Chair of the Betting and Gaming Council said: “I strongly welcome the fact that Lord Charles Allen has agreed to take on the role of Chair of the BHA. The sport is desperate for new leadership but also a new strategy. Too often, racing feels like a case of lions led by donkeys.
“I’ve been hugely impressed by Charles’ determination to drive big changes. His appointment must mark a shift to a more hard-headed commercial approach – and an end to the internal divisions and vested interests that have plagued the sport and held it back.
“I hope we see less of the politics of entitlement and that the sport finally gets real about the serious challenges it faces. Racing needs a growth strategy, not more delusional special pleading or petulant demands for handouts.
“There is a symbiotic relationship between betting and racing. BGC members contribute over £350 million a year to horseracing through sponsorship, media rights, and the betting levy. Racing should be working with the gambling operators, not with the anti-gambling lobby, and nor should some within its ranks indulge themselves by denigrating other parts of our regulated business, including on the threat of higher taxes.
“We want to work collaboratively with racing to help reverse the current decline of the sport. I am looking forward to personally working with Charles and I wish him every success in what is undoubtedly a Herculean task.”

Esportes Gaming Brasil introduces LOTTU, its new digital betting platform focused on innovation and user experience

Esportes Gaming Brasil has just launched LOTTU, its new digital betting and entertainment platform. Modern, bold, and interactive, the brand was created with the purpose of delivering a faster, more personalized, and more efficient experience for bettors.
With this launch, the group now operates with the maximum limit of three brands authorized by the five-year federal license granted by the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting of the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF), as established by Law 14.790/2023. In addition to LOTTU, the portfolio includes Esportes da Sorte and OnaBet.
“LOTTU reflects everything we’ve learned in recent years, but with a real leap in performance and usability. It is a platform built from the ground up, with a focus on speed, real-time promotions, and navigation tailored to different bettor profiles,” says Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, CEO of Esportes Gaming Brasil Group.
With proprietary architecture and a high degree of customization, LOTTU offers features that allow greater flexibility for promotions, dynamic layouts, and a smoother user journey. The applied technology expands interaction and engagement possibilities, with an emphasis on responsiveness and operational intelligence.
“The arrival of LOTTU represents more than just a portfolio expansion. It materializes a brand that combines technology, aesthetics, and dynamism to deliver a truly differentiated experience. From concept to design, every detail was crafted to connect with the modern bettor, who values agility, trust, and innovation,” highlights Marcela Campos, Vice President of Esportes Gaming Brasil.
The system also incorporates monitoring tools that proactively identify signs of risky behavior—redirecting users to specialized support channels and reinforcing the group’s commitment to responsible gaming practices.
More than expanding its portfolio, the launch of LOTTU consolidates Esportes Gaming Brasil as one of the leading groups in the sector, with a strong institutional presence in Brazil’s sports and cultural scene—through initiatives such as sponsorships of clubs like Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária, and Náutico, and support for regional events such as Carnival, São João, and the Parintins Festival.

NYC Mayoral Front-runner Zohran Mamdani Says He Won’t Oppose Casino Development

As a state lawmaker, Zohran Mamdani generally opposed plans to open full-scale casinos in New York City. In June, when he walked past a billboard showing betting markets for the city mayor’s race, he even quipped that “gambling is haram,” an Arabic word meaning forbidden.
But on Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani said that he did not intend to use his newfound political clout as the Democratic mayoral nominee and the race’s front-runner to try to stop the arrival of casinos that are widely considered a fait accompli.
Speaking alongside the leader of a union pushing the gambling expansion, Mr. Mamdani told reporters that while he still had doubts about the casinos backed by corporate giants, he respected the views of state voters who had approved the downstate gambling expansion more than a decade ago.
