Bet-at-home Announces H1 2021 Results

Bet-at-home.com has announced its group financial figures for the first half of 2021 (H1 2021).
The gross betting and gaming revenue in H1 2021 was €56.8m, which is 8.8% below the prior-year figure. The main reason for this is the regulatory development in the core market of Germany.
In February, bet-at-home.com implemented the conditions of the nationwide sports betting licence obtained in November 2020 in the German market by implementing its own platform for German customers.
Legal requirements such as an elaborate registration process and a limited betting offer had a negative impact on customer activity in H1 2021, with the result that the European Football Championship in particular fell short of expectations.
Although long-term legal certainty was gained in Germany as a result of the licensing, the upcoming implementation of cross-product monthly betting limits for online sports betting and online gaming is likely to lead to further revenue losses in Germany in the coming months.
In addition, the online gaming segment in Germany developed below expectations in H1 2021 due to the ban on popular games such as roulette and blackjack. The attractiveness of the remaining licensable online gaming offering suffers from the limitations and regulatory requirements.

NAILED IT! GAMES TAKES GRIM REAPER SUPERMATCH™ LIVE EXCLUSIVELY WITH SELECT OPERATORS

Nailed It! Games, an independent Krakow-based games studio, is giving players early access to its new slot, Grim Reaper Supermatch™, launching exclusively with select operators before its worldwide debut.
The second release from the provider to feature the innovative Supermatch™ mechanic, the title is packed with 10 thrilling features that can transform gameplay and provide big winning opportunities.
Players reveal five Halloween-themed symbols on the bottom row during a spin. Landing three or more matching symbols unlocks the next row, with six rows to climb in total.
Between two and eight Blue Souls appear on the game grid each spin, before being collected in the Soulcatcher Chest as symbols are revealed. Filling the chest will unlock the Soulcatcher Bonus, triggering a spin with special symbols that could grant a win of 5,000x the bet.
Reaching the third row activates the Halfway Bonus, triggering one of five features that can respin a non-winning row, turn all non-winning symbols into winning ones, upgrade them to higher-paying symbols, apply a x2 multiplier or add extra Souls to the Soulcatcher Chest.
Should players reach the sixth and final row, the Mega Respin feature is activated. Here, every matched symbol becomes sticky and the rest respin, boosting winning potential to hair-raising heights.
A Free Spins bonus round can also be unlocked when landing three or more Scatters on a single spin. Blue Souls become Red during this bonus, adding to the Free Spins Soul Collection for chances to land extra free games and remove the lowest-paying symbols from the grid.
Grim Reaper Supermatch™ is the latest release from Nailed It! Games. It follows recent titles Rainbow Burst™ and Dog Days™, and builds upon the revolutionary Supermatch™ mechanic previously seen in Rome Supermatch™ release earlier in the year.
Paweł Piotrowski, co-founder of Nailed It! Games, said: “We’ve been working hard on our next Supermatch™ titles, and we’re excited to be taking Grim Reaper Supermatch™ live exclusively with select operators – just in time for Halloween.
“This new title builds upon our cutting-edge mechanic, with plenty of win-boosting bonus features and ingenious new gameplay experiences that players haven’t experienced before. We can’t wait to see the reception – if you’re brave enough to try!”

Belgium gambling survey: Legality vs. Illegality

In a recent study commissioned by the Belgium Gambling Commission and conducted by Ipsos, 1,000 young individuals aged between 18 and 30 were surveyed. The findings shed light on intriguing aspects of how the youth perceive and participate in gambling activities.
Legality vs. Illegality
The research indicates that legal gambling sites are considerably more recognised among the youth. A 93% of respondents claim they can identify at least one legal gambling site by its name. In contrast, only 44% admit they can name an illegal site.
However, an interesting twist emerges when considering the top 10 most recognised gaming sites: 6 belong to legal providers, while 4 are illegal. This suggests that even if young people are aware of legal platforms, illegal ones still manage to capture their attention.
Moreover, using the example of one of the most regulated and established gambling markets — the UK — the popularity of unregulated casinos remains high, according to a study by Govan Thompson from Spelcasino.
Gambling: Who’s Playing and How Often?
Over half of the participants (53%) have gambled at least once in the past three years. Notably, men seem to be more active in this arena, with 65% having gambled compared to 41% of women.
Most of these players (62%) indulge in gambling no more than once a month. However, a small yet significant 13% admit to daily gambling habits.
Choosing the Gaming Platform
An overwhelming majority of players (90%) prefer legal gaming sites. Yet, 33% confess to having played on illegal platforms. Interestingly, 36% of respondents admit they don’t discern a difference between legal and illegal sites.
The Influence of Advertising
The advertising of gambling remains a contentious issue. 42% of those surveyed advocate for a complete ban on gambling advertisements, and a quarter acknowledge the influence of such advertising on their gaming behaviour. Amongst active players, this figure rises sharply to 70%.
In conclusion, the Ipsos study offers a profound understanding of the youth’s relationship with gambling. These insights could pave the way for further discussions on the regulation of gambling and its advertising in this domain.
