888’s Middle East VIP gambling accounts suspended as chief departs | Gambling


The online gambling company 888 has suspended its VIP customer accounts in the Middle East after an internal review found best practices had not been followed in some areas, including anti-money laundering processes.

888 announced separately that its chief executive, Itai Pazner, was leaving immediately after four years in the top job and more than 20 at the company.

In a statement to the stock exchange on Monday, the company said that following an internal compliance review it had come to light that certain best practices had not been followed regarding “know your client and anti-money laundering processes for 888 VIP customers in the Middle East region”.

“While further internal investigations are under way, the board has taken the decision to suspend VIP customer accounts in the region, effective immediately,” it said.

The financial impact is less than 3% of group revenues, 888 said, should the suspensions remain in place.

It comes after the group’s share dropped by more than 50% over the past year amid a slowdown in online gambling after the pandemic and investor caution over its takeover of William Hill’s European operation, which resulted in 888 taking on significant debt.

Lord Mendelsohn, the 888 chair, said: “The board and I take the group’s compliance responsibilities incredibly seriously. When we were alerted to issues with some of 888’s VIP customers, the board took decisive actions. We will be uncompromising in our approach to compliance as we build a strong and sustainable business.”

Mendelsohn becomes executive chair of the company on an interim basis while the board searches for a permanent chief executive to replace Pazner.

PGCB Bans Four Adults from Visiting State Casinos

Bet365 Expands in Pennsylvania after New CDI Partnership


This is the latest regulatory action to target irresponsible adults who abandoned young children unattended while they were gambling at a casino in the Keystone State. The commission convened on Wednesday, January 25, and decided to prohibit the four adults who were found to have left children on the premises of casino properties unattended.

More Adults Put on the PGCB’s Involuntary Exclusion List

This adds to an already long list of similar accidents with the PGCB sending an unequivocal message that it will act strictly in such instances. With the latest decision, the watchdog has grown its Involuntary Exclusion List, which is reserved for serious offenders who breach the state’s gambling laws.

The PGCB has not shied away from detailing the incidents involving the adults and the children. In one instance, a man left five children unattended at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, one of which was an infant.

The children were on their own for an hour and 12 minutes while the man was playing slots inside. The same property also involved another case where a 12-year-old was left unattended in the parking lot, with the man put on the list as swell.

In another instance, a man left a 13-year-old unattended at the parking garage of Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack. The man first attempted to take the child inside but was denied entry. He left the child alone for 15 minutes before he was discovered. Meanwhile, a woman left a two-year-old and a 14-year-old unattended at the Mohegan Pennsylvania Casino in Wilkes-Barre.

Past Offenders Do Not Find Reprieve

The PGCB also denied two previous offenders registered in 2020 the right to get off the list. The latest enforcement action is issued as a stern reminder that the PGCB will act in any instance where young children are left unattended on the premises of casinos.

While the latest enforcement does not specifically name the casinos as responsible, nor has it issued fines, the PGCB in general considers casino properties to be partly responsible for ensuring that such accidents do not happen.

Many facilities have stepped up their surveillance and patrolling of parking lots in order to ensure that no children are left unattended.

Michel Dattani Conquers First PCA Main Event in Four Years for First Live Major Title ($1,316,963)

Michel Dattani Conquers First PCA Main Event in Four Years for First Live Major Title ($1,316,963)



After just more than 4 hours of play on Day 6 of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $10,300 Main Event, Portugal’s Michel Dattani was crowned the champion after defeating compatriot Pedro Neves in heads-up play.

Following the elimination of Artur Martirosian, the two players agreed to an ICM deal which saw Dattani lock up $1,316,963 while Neves banked $1,183,037. Upon the agreement of the deal, it was confirmed that the Portuguese pair were playing for $50,000 and the title.

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) festival marks the first time that PokerStars has returned to The Bahamas in four years, and it was all worth the wait as what followed was a week’s worth of epic poker action inside the Baha Mar Resort.

The tournament saw a total of 889 entries and attracted a host of the world’s best players, who battled it out for the lion’s share of the $8,623,300 prize pool.

Dattani fired two bullets into the PCA Main Event as he busted late on in Day 1b. He experienced death by quads courtesy of Manuel Ruivo, but that would be the last time Dattani spent any time on the rail over the last few days.

Dattani, who likes to keep a low profile, has been playing poker professionally for just over 13 years and has been a regular on the PokerStars European Poker Tour since 2010. He is one of the best and most respected players in Portugal and has had huge success on the virtual felt where he plays under the “FreelancerZZ” alias on PokerStars.

Action of the Day

Coming into the final day of play, just six players returned following the departure of Jonathan Little, Taylor Paur and Alexandros Kolonias towards the tail end of Day 5.

On the very first hand of the final day, short-stack Jamil Wakil was all in and at risk. He was immediately drawing dead after Christoph Csik flopped a flush despite being dominated. Wakil, who had $444,870 in live tournament earnings, picked up the biggest cash of his career and collected $307,500 for his deep run.

The second casualty then took place during the last hand of the first level of the day. Csik was the next player to fall on the wrong side of lady luck. Csik opened the action with pocket kings. Martirosian three-bet with ace-deuce before online qualifier Alexandre Raymond four-bet jammed with ace-jack. Csik called off his slightly shorter stack but was immediately drawing to two outs as Raymond found one of the two remaining aces on the flop. Csik could not find his own two-outer and he departed in fourth place for $399,800.

Alexandre Raymond
Alexandre Raymond was the last PokerStars online qualifier standing.

The players then went on a brief break and when they returned the action refused to slow down. Raymond was the next player to hit the rail after his pocket queens ran into pocket kings held by Neves. It was the biggest pot of the tournament at that stage and Neves was the recipient of it as no queen appeared on the runout.

Neves was the clear chip leader for a brief period of time until he doubled up Dattani following another preflop cooler. Neves had pocket kings again and his compatriot had him pipped with pocket aces and he flopped a full house to become the new big stack.

The next elimination took place during the following level and it was Martirosian who took bronze. Martirosian was looking to make poker history, as he had the opportunity to become the first player to win an EPT and PCA Main Event but fell short by two places. Martirosian took down the 2021 EPT Sochi Main Event for $325,000 and has won numerous online titles under his “mararthur1” screen name.

Pedro Neves & Michel Dattani Deal

When heads-up play was confirmed, Dattani and Neves then agreed to the aforementioned ICM deal. Heads-up lasted less than twenty minutes and the final hand of the PCA Main Event saw Neves call off his stack with top pair while Dattani had the nut flush.

The win meant Dattani passed the $2 million mark in live tournament earnings, while Neves eclipsed the $1 million mark.

This marks the end of PokerNews live coverage of PCA Main Event, but be sure to stick around as the live reporting team will be on the ground for the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship, which kicks off on Monday, January 30 at 12 p.m.

Poker Legend Jackie Glazier Back on Australian Survivor – as a Villain!

Poker Legend Jackie Glazier Back on Australian Survivor – as a Villain!



Back in 2018, Australian poker legend Jackie Glazier appeared on Survivor Australia: Champions vs. Contenders, which saw 12 average Joes (the Contenders) square off against 12 extraordinary players (the Champions). While she was ultimately voted off midway through the game that season, Glazier is getting a second chance as a part of the new Heroes vs. Villains season premiering on January 30.

With more than$1.4 million in lifetime earnings, Glazier currently sits 30th on Australia’s all-time money list. In 2012, she finished runner-up in the World Series of Poker Event #41: $3,000 NLHE for a career-best $458,996, and the following year she took 31st in the Main Event for $229,281. She also captured a gold bracelet when she won the 2013 WSOP Europe Ladies Championship.

Unlike its American counterpart, which traditionally has 18-20 castaways battling for $1 million over 26 days (it used to be 39 days), the Australian version has featured 24 contestants competing for $500,000 over 50 days.

Q&A with Jackie Glazier

Jackie Glazier
Jackie Glazier

PokerNews had the opportunity to chat with Glazier leading up to the debut of the new season.

PokerNews: When and how did the opportunity to be a part of Heroes vs. Villains come about?

Jackie Glazier: The opportunity came about around mid-last year. It was an unexpected phone call but a very welcome one! I was playing a poker tournament in Adelaide at the time and happened to be on break when the call came through otherwise I would have missed it. I was shaking with excitement when I returned to the tables and found it impossible to concentrate for the rest of the day.

How does it feel to get another chance to play the game? Did you have any regrets or unfinished business from the first go?

To be asked to play Australian Survivor once was a dream come true for me so to be asked back again was an enormous privilege. I don’t have many regrets from the first season, but probably my one regret is not taking the opportunity to make a move when the tribe swap occurred. I think the tribe I was placed in made it difficult to play all aspects of the game so I definitely had unfinished business.

“Heroes vs Villains is such an iconic theme for Survivor and to be asked back for a HvV season was a massive highlight for me.”

How do you feel about being cast on the villain’s tribe?

Heroes vs Villains is such an iconic theme for Survivor and to be asked back for a HvV season was a massive highlight for me. I knew that being placed on the Villains tribe meant that a lot of the tribe would be playing a more strategic game with less emphasis on physical strengths so I was really excited about that, a complete difference to my experience on Champions vs Contenders.

I don’t consider myself to really be a villain but I suppose similar to a poker tournament I play to win and if that means I need to be ruthless then so be it. I also think being on the heroes tribe would have been a bit boring

During your first game you got to play with/against Russel Hantz and you actually came out on top. How did that feel?

I was so excited to see Russel on my first season and I was kind of shocked no one else on the tribe knew who he was! I have been a massive fan of Survivor forever so to get to actually play with such an icon of the game was a highlight for me that season. At that first tribal council I had convinced Russel not to vote for me and to draw a star on his vote so that I knew I could trust him. If we both survived the vote that night we were going to form an alliance and work together.

If I hadn’t convinced him to agree, and he had of voted for me, I would have gone home that night instead of him. I had a lot of mixed emotions heading back to camp afterwards. Disappointment that we didn’t have that chance to play together longer but also sheer relief that he went home instead of me.

Jackie Glazier
Jackie Glazier at the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Russel is largely considered one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, villain in Survivor history. Did you learn anything from him that you can take into your role as a villain?

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to play together for long but when we got to our camp area that very first day of Champions vs Contenders, I noticed that while everyone else was fixated on building shelters and preoccupied with collecting wood, Russel was off working hard on finding idols and building relationships early instead. I took that into this season of HvV.

In your first season you hid the fact that you’re a poker champ. Do you plan to be more upfront and honest about it this go around?

Hiding such a big part of my life in my first season really hindered my ability to make connections with people. I felt like I had even more of a guard up and I was always needing to think carefully before speaking about everyday experiences in my life. I’m obviously not a stranger to bluffing but it was tiring trying to carry out the bluff to be a speed cuber for nearly a month. I’m definitely going into Heroes vs Villains being more upfront about who I am as a person.

What do you like best about the game of Survivor?

I really love all aspects of Survivor but probably my favorite part is the strategic components of the game. I know you didn’t ask but the part I like least is how tough it is to live in such rough conditions. I really miss having a hot shower and a comfortable bed to sleep in. I kind of like brushing my teeth daily as well!

Do you see any parallels between Survivor and poker?

So many! When you are card dead and really have to find spots even when you don’t have a lot to work with. The risk vs reward when making moves. Understanding your opposition and what motivates them. Reading players and situations. There is only one trophy/1st prize up for grabs so I’m playing for the win. Table/Tribe dynamics are so important, and you need to adjust and change gears as needed based on this.

How’d She Do the First Time?

Jackie Glazier
Jackie Glazier

Glazier made early headlines on her first season when she went toe to toe with Russell Hantz, the most notorious villains in Survivor history. In just the second episode, Glazier led the charge on getting Hantz out, though by doing so she put her neck on the line. Glazier received votes at that tribal council, but she was saved as Hantz, who did not use a Hidden Immunity Idol, became the game’s second casualty.

Over the next several weeks Glazier found her groove, thanks in no small part to a string of immunity wins by the Champions Tribe. She often struggled with the physical aspect of challenges but was the tribe’s go-to puzzle solver. Then a tribe swap took place, but despite staying on the Champions Tribe with majority numbers, it ultimately led to Glazier’s elimination as she found herself outside an alliance led by rugby league footballer Mat Rogers, who claimed he just couldn’t trust Jackie.

Ultimately, the poker pro exited the game on Day 26 as the 11th contestant voted out.

After host Jonathan LaPaglia snuffed her torch, Glazier was gracious in defeat. As if they were opponents at the poker table, she turned back one last time and wished her former tribemates good luck before exiting the game.

“There’s the perception of a poker player, I feel the negative connotations of the game would have put a target on my back,” Glazier told Ten Daily in a post-elimination interview. “The way it was edited made it out to be that’s what I did, but a grown woman traveling around the Rubik’s cube circuit… I don’t know how you’d make a living.”

When and Where to Watch

Glazier isn’t the first poker pro to tackle Survivor. Online legend Ilari Sahamies competed in the Finnish version of the show, and back in 2015, Anna Khait was a part of the USA’s 32nd season. Others to play in the past include bracelet winner Jean-Robert Bellande, Ronnie Bardah, and cash game specialist Garrett Adelstein.

Filming is already finished for Australian Survivor: Heroes vs Villains, and episodes will begin airing in Australia on Monday January 30 on 10 and 10 Play.

Saskatchewan iGaming Revenue More Than Double Ontario Per Person in First Two Active Months

Saskatchewan map


A strong start

PlayNow has released its first revenue numbers for Saskatchewan’s newly regulated online gambling market, and the province more than doubled Ontario’s revenue per person when comparing their respective opening two months.

CA$31.8m (US$23.8m) in revenue during those first two months

PlayNow is the only regulated online gambling platform currently operating in Saskatchewan. A Monday release confirmed the iGaming website generated CA$31.8m (US$23.8m) in revenue during November and December 2022. This broke down to CA$14.8m (US$11.1m) in November, rising to CA$17m (US$12.7m) in December.

PlayNow also reported that its customer base in the province hit a high of 8,015 registered users, which gives an average revenue of CA$3,967 (US$2,968) per player.

Saskatchewan versus Ontario

To give some sense of how healthy PlayNow’s numbers are, we can make a comparison with Ontario, which launched its own regulated market in April 2022.

The Ontarian regulators reported CA$162.0m (US$121.2) in revenue during the first two months of its regulated online gambling market.

Saskatchewan has a population of about 1.2 million people and only two urban centers of any size (Saskatoon and Regina). Ontario on the other hand has around two dozen large urban centers and a little over 14 million people within its borders.

Scaling for population, that means Ontario generated iGaming revenue of CA$11.57 (US$8.66) per capita over its first two months. The Saskatchewanians managed CA$26.50 (US$19.82) per capita. More than double the rate per person.

Launching in Saskatchewan on November 3, 2022, PlayNow is run by the British Columbia Lottery Company (BCLC), and licensed for use in Saskatchewan under a deal with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority.

What’s next for Canadian iGaming?

Canada’s online gambling market, like its US equivalent, is highly devolved. Each province decides what is legal and what gets regulated. For the last few decades, this has led to a variety of grey and black market options.

little to no competition

Legal and regulated forms of gambling online are harder to find in Canada. BCLC’s PlayNow operates in three provinces (Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba), with little to no competition in any of them.

However, with the recent successes in Ontario and Saskatchewan—and a growing awareness of the risks of the grey and black market – onlookers expect more of Canada’s ten provinces and three territories to add iGaming to their legislative agendas in the coming years.

Two-Time Bracelet Winner Vieira Lavishes Praise on PCA Runner-Up Neves

Two-Time Bracelet Winner Vieira Lavishes Praise on PCA Runner-Up Neves



It was a case of so near yet so far for Portugal’s Pedro Neves who fell just short of winning the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event title, falling heads-up to compatriot Michel Dattani.

However, a seven-figure score — almost ten times his previous highest cash — is not a bad result, and he’s attracted his fair share of admirers for the way he’s played over the last six days.

One of the loudest voices came from Portugal’s Joao Vieira. The Winamax Pro counts Neves among his students, and was quick to highlight the 25 year old’s poise under the lights of the feature table, his passion and drive and how this result will not be a flash in the pan.

Instead, he explains how this result could be the start of something extra special for the young Portuguese pro.

Neves “Plays Like a Veteran”

“He’s 25 years old but he plays like a veteran”

The two-time WSOP bracelet winner was unequivocal with praise for his student, with Vieira (pictured below) predicting a bright future for the youngster.

“He’s the best student I’ve ever had,” Vieira told PokerNews. “If he keeps working hard, which he is, he’s destined to be playing in High Rollers and Super High Rollers.

“He’s 25 years old but he plays like a veteran. He’s composed like a veteran and he acts like a veteran at the final table — you’d think this was his 10th final table!”

Joao Vieira

Neves has smashed his previous biggest score of $120,000 — in the 2022 UKIPT London £2,200 High Roller — but Vieira says Neves rises to occasions like this with aplomb.

“He’s always been like this,” said Vieira. “Whenever he gets to the big moments he’s so prepared, he’s so ready. He plays like he’s been there forever. He watches so many of these streams, he’s mentally played so many of these final tables – he just loves poker.

“He just goes out there and plays — like he’s already been here before.”


PN Podcast: Chopped-Pot Elimination, Guests Ike Haxton & Vanessa Kade from PCA


Nerves? What Nerves

With $1,500,000 awaiting the winner of his heads-up match with eventual winner Michel Dattani, you could be forgiven that thinking Neves was a nervous wreck. However, Vieira said Neves rarely showed nerves in the leadup to the biggest final table of his life.

“I would talk to him in the breaks, and the first time I could sense any sort of anxiety or nervousness was when we were down to four players. He would look at me and say to me ‘Did any of them study more than me? Did any of them play more hands than me?’

“He’s a kid! That’s confidence. He just knows. He’s really good.”

Pedro Neves

A Stepping Stone for the Future

Neves’ performance at the final table had Vieira drawing comparisons to fellow Winamax Ambassador and one of the best young poker players in history — Adrian Mateos.

“This is just a stepping stone for him”

“In a few years time, we could be looking back at this the same way we look at Adrian Mateos’ WSOP Europe Main Event winner. Or his EPT Barcelona win. If you ask [Neves] what his goal is, he says that his goal is to make this a milestone [in his poker career].

“He’s not thinking about the $1,500,000, he’s thinking about playing his best and for this to be a milestone so he can create more scores, more performances and win more titles. He’s thinking ahead — which is weird when you’re 25 years old!

“He wants to do this for a living and reach the highest stakes in the world. That’s his main goal. And this? This is just a stepping stone for him.”

Game of Gladiators: Uprising – Play’n GO’s New Slot Release

play'n go


Sharpen your sword and pun on your helmet – the gladiators are here to stay and slay

Play’n GO takes the players on an adventure in old Rome. Its newest release, Game of Gladiators: Uprising, follows the path of its popular release published in 2019, Game of Gladiators

The fight begins:

Spartacus is once again fighting for his freedom. The players will get a chance to meet one more Roman legend, the brave Bellica, who represents the evil Emperor Gaius. Only one fighter will live – and the other one will be punished. Who will win? It’s to be determined in the game. 

Spartacus came into possession of some valuable features that will help him, and the player, in this adventure and grant freedom at the end of the game.

When a Scatter or Wild lands on the reel, it activates Gladiators Oath. This feature helps Spartacus by triggering Re-Spins, potentially leading to the tenfold

Three symbols represent the characters: Spartacus, Bellica, and Emperor. Depending on the symbol that lands, the paylines adapt to the play style of each character.

If two gladiators appear on the reels, the Free Spins round will be triggered. The player can achieve up to 100 Free Spins, which can be used until one of the gladiators win. The number of Free Spins can be tracked on a gladiator’s health bar

The Guess the Victor feature also increases the chances of winning. If a player guesses which gladiator will win their scuffle while the Free Spins feature is active, the Guess the Victor feature will be triggered. The correct answer will increase the player’s net potential by up to 5x.

Compelling theme and unique features:

This game represents proof that Play’n GO can combine the features that can grant amazing prizes with exciting and captivating gameplay, which guarantees an extraordinary experience for the players. 

Play’n GO became famous for its dynamic action games, followed by extraordinary combative visuals and fantastic animations. Some of the other similar games that are already popular among players include Divine Showdown (2019), Wild Trigger (2022), and the recent release Clash of Camelot (2022).

George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at the company, said: “This slot is all about action! We want players to feel like Spartacus when they’re playing with the unique fighting features for our three characters. Our Guess the Victor feature is next level. It really ties into the narrative as it sees two fighters go head-to-head for a prize. If you’re not paying attention, you might think you’ve stumbled into the gladiator pit yourself.”

Las Vegas Sands Planning to Invest $6.8bn in Macau and Singapore

Las Vegas Sands Planning to Invest $6.8bn in Macau and Singapore


Great success in Singapore

Las Vegas Sands is planning to invest $6.8bn in Macau and Singapore to help take advantage of the boom in gambling across the Asian market. The US-based casino company announced its investment plans on Thursday after reporting all-time high gaming revenue at its Marina Bay Sands property in Singapore.

The property’s 2022 Q4 gaming revenues hit $477m, up from $215m in the final quarter of 2021. While the company is still dealing with weak demand in Macau, the hope is that the special administrative region of China will bounce back strongly sooner rather than later.

Las Vegas Sands plans to invest approximately $3bn in the region

Singapore has benefited from the easing of pandemic-related restrictions last year, enjoying an influx in tourists, a big reason why Las Vegas Sands plans to invest approximately $3bn in the region in the coming years. This includes an addition of a 1,000-room luxury hotel tower at the Marina Bay Sands and an expansion of the shopping mall and convention center. The work is expected to be finished in 2027.

Returning to normality

Las Vegas Sands then aims to invest $3.8bn in Macau after successfully renewing its gaming license in the region. Most of the funds will go towards non-gaming projects. Speaking about his optimism for the Macau market, Las Vegas Sands CEO and chairman Robert Goldstein said: “We remain deeply confident in the future of Macau and consider Macau an ideal market for additional capital investment.”

Las Vegas Sands operates six major casino resorts in Macau, as well as the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

The company as a whole managed to return to profitability last year, reporting a full-year net profit of $1.8bn. One of the big contributing factors to the profit total was its sale of the Venetian casino resort in Las Vegas for $6.3bn.

Considering expansion opportunities

Las Vegas Sands has also recently been looking to expand its global presence. One of its big priorities is getting its hands on one of three full-service casino licenses in New York City. Goldstein believes that getting a license would be “an extraordinary and unique opportunity.”

The company has plans to build a casino resort on Long Island if it’s successful with the license bid. It has also been spending millions of dollars in Texas lobbying for casino legalization. Further afield, Las Vegas Sands has been looking hard at getting involved in a project in Thailand.
