1. Business
MGM Resorts trims international digital losses to $4m amid slower revenue expansion
MGM Resorts saw its international online division, directed by LeoVegas, move near break-even by reducing its loss to $4m in the third quarter. While Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK supported these improvements, total revenue growth decelerated to 6%, marking a steep decrease compared to the previous quarter.
Why it matters
This slowdown could test operator resilience as European and UK businesses navigate mounting fiscal burdens, with higher taxes threatening profitability even as digital divisions work to reach financial break-even points across core markets.

Federal Court fines The Star Entertainment Group AU$260 million for AML breaches
The Federal Court of Australia has ordered The Star Entertainment Group to pay AU$260 million, or $182 million, for violating AML/CTF rules. Justice Moore established the sanction after factoring in AU$200 million. The penalty remains lower than the AU$400 million, or $280 million, proposed by AUSTRAC.
Why it matters
For regulated casino operators, this substantial court sanction highlights the severe legal and financial repercussions tied to compliance failures, even when the final court-ordered fine falls below the amount recommended by regulatory authorities.

4. Regulation
Dutch online gaming contracts following mandatory deposit limits
Regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) reported that mandatory monthly deposit limits implemented in the Netherlands in 2024 have caused the online gaming sector to shrink. The findings were published across two reports from the gambling authority examining the licensed Dutch gambling market through all of 2025 and the first half of 2026.
Why it matters
This indicates that Dutch regulatory reforms directly impacted overall market performance, showing how mandatory player spending controls can lead to extended market contractions for licensed operators.
