A few months after YAHOO UK & Ireland entered the real money online poker market, AOL UK has announced that it will follow suit, offering real-money sports betting in conjunction with UK Internet bookmaker JAXX, a subsidiary of FLUXX. The service is scheduled to begin later this month. The launch will focus on the UK, with plans to extend the offering to other European countries quickly, according to the press release. AOL will not accept bets from the U.S. "We are looking at a range of partnerships and initiatives to drive our business forward in Europe," said Michael Steckler, vice president of interactive marketing for AOL Europe. "Linking up with FLUXX fits that strategy perfectly. Their wealth of ideas and experience in the betting business will bring additional energy and diversity to our offering both here in the UK and across other European countries." AOL is not completely new to online betting, having partnered with JAXX since 2003 to run an online lottery service in Germany. However, entering the lucrative European sports betting market is a much larger and more complex venture. "The British market is one of the largest and most attractive in the world, with a betting volume of around EUR 70 billion," said Rainer Jacken, management board spokesman of FLUXX. "Yet the online market is still notably underdeveloped. Together with AOL, we have now created a highly competitive service that will help us to tap into this growth."

Las Vegas casinos took more money from gamblers

The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) reported Wednesday that July gross gaming revenue (GGR) in Clark County was a record $1.208 billion, a 7.5% year-over-year increase. Strip casinos reported GGR of $834.9 million, also an all-time high for the state’s most critical gaming market. Statewide GGR totaled $1.404 billion, up nearly 7% to mark the richest month in Nevada gaming history. Nevada legalized gambling in March 1931. The ‘Reader’s Digest’ version of what drove this month’s record win is slot win, which although wasn’t a record, it was the third-highest total all-time for the state and the second-highest total for the Strip,” said Michael Lawton, senior economic analyst for the NGCB. The odds are now nearly a sure thing that Nevada casinos will, for a third year in a row, set an annual revenue record. Nevada casinos generated GGR of $14.84 billion in 2022. That easily eclipsed the state’s previous best revenue mark of $13.4 billion set only a year earlier. International Travel Returns Casino.org earlier this week reported on the ongoing return of international traffic through Harry Reid International, Las Vegas’ primary air hub. More than 290K foreign travelers arrived and departed through the airport in July, the most since COVID-19 arrived in Nevada in early 2020.
