GAMING AND ESPORTS MUST BE TAKEN ON THE ROAD TO EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE OF AFRICA

On June 11 and 12, 2024, we, the Austrian, French, German, Portuguese (Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos), Spanish and British gambling regulators, met in Vienna to discuss several issues related to gambling regulation. In particular, we discussed scratchcards and jurisprudence of The European Court of Justice (ECJ). -       With regard to preliminary ruling from the ECJ running in various countries, we want to recall that, while the European Union guarantees the freedom to provide services and the freedom of establishment, including for gambling companies, the European Court of Justice has recognized that Member States may impose proportionate restrictions on these freedoms to regulate gambling, and especially to protect gamblers through national laws. However, many of us have seen more and more challenges to these principles in our various jurisdictions, notably through some preliminary ruling procedures. We now wish to cooperate, or even intervene, in these proceedings to ensure that the Court's case law protecting players is respected. -       As regard to scratch card games, we, the Austrian, French, Spanish and British regulators noted in our jurisdictions a significant size of this type of game. They may appear as harmless to the public, often shared between parents and minors, but they are a gambling product which carries risk. Considering these considerations, we commit ourselves today to working together in order to ensure effective implementation of our national regulations for players’ protection, especially for minors that should not be introduced to gambling through this type of offer.

France getting ready for its first nationwide UHD HDR event: The French Tennis Open   Waiting for the Olympics to start in July’24 in UHD HDR on France TV, we will have a dry run with the French Tennis Open starting on May 26th, that will be transmitted by France TV in UHD HDR not only over DTT but also to IPTV STBs, as Orange has announced it will distribute it across its IPTV network, as well as SFR (part of Altice group) on its Cable Network. https://lnkd.in/dbUveq4p So, is that a breakthrough? -         Yes, for having France TV UHD HDR native this time, nationwide over DTT, this was never done before. -         Yes, for having IPTV operators’ STB capable to process UHD HDR, this was never done before for a large scale live event. For the record, during the last FIFA world cup in December ’22, TF1 offered UHD HDR to all ISP, no one took it and TF1 was forced to send UHD SDR for STB compatibility reasons. We got confirmation from France TV that for the French Tennis Open only UHD HDR will be available.   So to my French compatriots: “A vos TVs et a vos boites”!   Jacques Donat-Bouillud Yves Davot Philippe Rambourg Yoeri Geutskens Benjamin Schwarz Ian Nock 

Cinepolis to showcase the ICC T20 World Cup and has tied up with Star Sports. 1. Are movies not good enough to bring in Revenue or World Cup emotions can be tapped as a blockbuster? 2. Star Sports can subsequently do the same for Indian Premier League from next year for covering some costs upfront? 3. Jio can make money through Subscription and can Star Sports ink City wise deals across the Country with multiplexes such as Cinepolis, Inox and PVR and this can be extended to single screens? 4. The demand for the tickets in every stadium across the country can't be adhered to so this can be a game changer for the broadcaster. 5. Premiumization of the Stadiums will happen further which will rake in more revenues for the IPL teams 6. BCCI can make revenue by selling Multiplex and Single screens rights also #ipl #starsports #disney #viacom #iccworldcup #t20 #bcci

#Commonwealth #Games #2026 As we look forward to the Commonwealth Games in 2026, set to take place in Glasgow, it’s important to note a significant change. Several sports that have contributed heavily to India's medal tally will no longer be part of the competition. Since 1930, #India has won 564 number of medals at the Commonwealth Games. However, with recent changes, 59% of these #medals have come from sports that won’t feature in 2026. This shift could significantly impact the India's medal prospects at CWG 2026. #CommonwealthGames #CWG2026 #IndiaAtCWG #MedalTally #TeamIndia

Watching one full match of IPL requires approximately 25GB of data, which makes me wonder if Jio is banking on our hunger for high-quality content to drive data plan upgrades. The free IPL streaming on Jio Cinema has disrupted the sports broadcast industry in India. Added to this, JioCinema also offers some interesting features that can improve the overall viewing experience. You can now: - watch IPL matches in 12 different languages.  - it is possible to switch camera angles according to your preference. - hype mode that lets you multitask while watching the match, participating in trivia, checking scoreboards, etc.  - the “Hero cam” feature that allows you to focus on one cricketer the whole time. With these features, it is proof that Jio Cinema knows that we are a player-obsessed and cricket-obsessed nation. Whether Jio chooses to monetize IPL directly or indirectly, this move is part of Jio’s strategic plan for growth and positioning itself as a dominant player in the Indian market. Why do you think they’ve purchased IPL streaming rights for 23,575 crores and giving it to you for free? #ipl2024 #streaming #jio
