Ontarians Bet Over $35 Billion in First Year of Legal Online Gambling

MarketJar

After just one year of legalization, Ontario is emerging as one of the largest igaming markets in North America with over 40 operators and 76 websites/apps available. According to Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) VP Andrew Darley, the Ontario igaming market is possibly "number one in the world" in terms of revenue if the iGaming Ontario and OLG data are combined. Darley made the assertion at an Ontario-focused session at SBC Summit North America, explaining that OLG's figures are confidential but significant enough to challenge the world's largest markets. The industry earned nearly $1.4 billion in total gaming income and approximately $35.6 billion in total wagers during its first year. Last April, Ontario became the first Canadian province to launch a legal, regulated market. Since then, the province has accumulated over 1.6 million active player accounts on websites operated by more than 40 operators affiliated with iGaming Ontario. The transition from unregulated sites to the legal market appears to have gone easily; according to an Ipsos poll released Tuesday, 85% of respondents who bet in Ontario did so on licensed sites. This is a significant departure from before the market's debut, when 70% of users gambled on unregulated sites. According to iGaming Ontario, active players spent an average of $70 per month in the previous year. Basketball was the most popular sport to wager on, followed by soccer, football, hockey, and baseball. In the online casino category, slots accounted for 48% of all wagers, while table games with a live dealer accounted for nearly a third and computer-based table games accounted for the remainder. Canada’s New Online Casino & Sportsbook Among the companies looking to gain a meaningful presence in the Ontario online gambling market is NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BET), a Canadian-owned gaming brand that owns and operates NorthStar Bets, an Ontario casino and sportsbook gaming platform that gives players a distinctly local user experience. Along with all of the most popular online casino games, the NorthStar Bets sportsbook offers real-time news, data, analysis, and scores directly in the betting environment. NorthStar Gaming launched Northstar Bets last June in partnership with Playtech PLC (LSE:PTECH) (OTC:PYTCY), a world-leading provider of B2C gambling technology. Under the partnership, Playtech became NorthStar ’s strategic software and services supplier, delivering its IMS platform, casino and live casino services to Ontario’s gambling market. Playtech also recently made a C$12.25 million strategic investment into Northstar Gaming to fuel expansion and growth across the Canadian market. The investment from Playtech, which resulted in a 15.5% ownership stake, completed Northstar ’s reverse takeover (RTO) financing for aggregate gross proceeds of C$22.33 million. NorthStar Gaming mixes a world-class casino and sportsbook experience with first-rate customer service - including live, on-call agents - and original sports news and gaming content. The company uses its strong Ontario roots to give it a distinct advantage: as a true local operator, it has its finger on the pulse of the province and adapts with them, not to them. NorthStar is dedicated to being a leader in the gaming business by achieving the highest security and integrity standards demanded by Canadians. Because of its collaborations and agreements with prominent media firms, including an omnichannel advertising and marketing services agreement with the Toronto Star creator Torstar Corporation, NorthStar is well-positioned to become a leader in the junction of sports media and sports wagering. NorthStar Bets operates in the province under an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario and is regulated by the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission (OAGC). On May 8, NorthStar further expanded its reach through the acquisition of Slapshot Media Inc., a Canadian iGaming marketing and managed services company that specializes in providing managed services to Spreads.ca, an iGaming site owned and operated by the Abenaki Council of Wolinak. The purpose of the acquisition is to open up the Canadian market to the NorthStar brand outside of Ontario eventually, as well as to expand NorthStar 's addressable market dramatically through its association with Spreads.ca. The acquisition of Slapshot Media complements NorthStar 's existing online casino and sportsbook capabilities. Spreads.ca will not be available in Ontario and NorthStar Bets will remain NorthStar 's only online casino and sports book in the province. For more information about NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc.

More Than Just a Room: How Airbnb Can Help You Travel Like a Local -- on a Budget

YourUpdateTV

Want to travel like a local, but on a budget? Airbnb is a great option for those looking to experience a destination authentically without breaking the bank. Recently, Airbnb Superhosts, Rhonda Voo and Eric Alan conducted a satellite media tour to talk about their experience being Airbnb hosts and how it helped them connect with people and have authentic experiences. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/6OnoHquTFMg In the current economic environment, people want to travel affordably. And after years of being isolated during the pandemic, they're looking for ways to connect with people and have authentic experiences. With the pandemic finally over, this summer is anticipated to be the biggest travel season of all time. Airbnb is expecting a record 300 million people to travel and host on Airbnb this year. To prepare, Airbnb is making the most extensive set of improvements to the platform ever, starting with the introduction of Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb. They’re also launching over 50 new features and upgrades that address top feedback from our guests and Hosts across the end-to-end Airbnb experience. Introducing Airbnb Rooms Airbnb began as a way to stay in a room in someone else’s home. This original idea of sharing a home offers two unique benefits. First, it’s more affordable for guests. More than 80% of private rooms are under $100/night, with an average rate of $67/night. Second, staying with a Host is a great way to meet someone new and experience the city like a local. In the current economic environment, people want to travel affordably. And after years of being isolated during the pandemic, they're looking for ways to connect with people and have authentic experiences. Now is the perfect time to stay in a room in someone else’s home. But for even more people to try it, they have to feel comfortable staying with a Host. Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb. Guests have told us that they want to know more about who they're staying with. Every Airbnb Room features a Host Passport, which helps guests get to know their Host before booking their stay. Airbnb has also created a Rooms category with over 1 million listings, redesigned filters and added new privacy features. 50+ new features and upgrades based on Hosts and Guests feedback: In preparation for an anticipated record-setting travel season, Airbnb is improving nearly every aspect of their service, here are some of the upgrades: Host Passport - Exclusive to Airbnb Rooms, the Host Passport helps you get to know your Host before booking your stay. Simply tap the Host Passport to view a larger photo and details Hosts have shared about themselves, including where they went to school, what they do for work, a fun fact about themselves, the amount of social interaction during the stay, and much more. Airbnb Rooms category - Airbnb Rooms are easy to discover, with a new category featuring a curated set of 1 million private bedrooms. Each listing includes access to shared spaces, such as the kitchen, living room, and backyard. Redesigned filters - Redesigned the “type of place” filter to make it easy to switch between Airbnb Rooms, entire homes, or all types of places. It’s simple to view the average price for each type of place with an enhanced price filter that updates based on your choice. New privacy features - Privacy is important. All Airbnb Rooms will clearly indicate if the bedroom door has a lock. The listing page also shows whether the bathrooms are shared or private, and whether people other than the Host will be in the home during your stay. To improve our service, Airbnb took a design-driven approach. They started by storyboarding the guest and Host journey - from sign up to checking out and created a blueprint of the experience - every screen, every policy, and every interaction with customer support mapped out. Then, analyzed millions of customer service tickets and mapped them across the journey. They also reviewed thousands of social media posts and spoke with hundreds of thousands of guests and Hosts about how to improve Airbnb.

About Rhonda and Erica Rhonda Voo and Eric Alan are superhosts of a private room in their stunning home in LA. Rhonda and Eric are both creatives at heart, pursuing careers in art and advertising – over the years they transformed their modest home into what is now an architecturally significant landmark in LA. After raising their three daughters, they noticed there was plenty of extra room around the house and decided to open their home to guests on Airbnb. Their experience continues to be rewarding — both financially and personally, making meaningful connections with visitors from around the globe. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

The Publisher Desk and Intermarkets Launch Ringside Intel, the News Leader in Sports Entertainment and Combat Sports

The Publisher Desk

The Publisher Desk and Intermarkets, two leading integrated audience development and growth partners for digital publishers, today launched Ringside Intel, a news and information site for sports entertainment, mixed martial arts, professional wrestling, and combat sports. Ringside Intel brings together some of the top sources for sporting news and analysis – Wrestle Newz, MMA Frenzy, Fightline, and Caged Insider – under a single banner and backed by one of the most experienced teams to cover the WWE, UFC, AEW, Bellator, and more. “As the recent acquisition of WWE by Endeavor has shown, multiple fan bases continue to converge,” said Jeff Misenti, co-founder of The Publisher Desk. “By combining some of the most respected brands into one environment, Ringside Intel becomes the go-to destination for information, news, and exclusive content for any sport in the ring.” Ringside Intel is targeted at the estimated 1.2 billion fans worldwide of WWE, TNA, and AEW, along with another 700 million fans of UFC, Bellator, and other MMA promotions. While the popularity of pay-per-view events provides a thriving place in the market, most of the audience consumes combat content online. For example, according to data from the WWE, the company alone garnered more than 7.5 billion digital and social media views in January and February of this year, up 15% from the same time frame a year ago. The recent WrestleMania 39 had more than 500 million views and 11 million hours of video consumed over the two days of the event, a 42% increase over last year. The Publisher Desk partnered with Intermarkets to add Ringside Intel to its growing portfolio of sports, entertainment, and information sites, including the company’s flagship site, Sportsnaut, the most powerful name in sports news and information. “The Publisher Desk is a top-notch partner for our mission to give combat sports and sports entertainment fans the quality content they’ve come to expect from our brands,” said Intermarkets CEO and Founder Kevin Lucido. “This opportunity fits with Intermarkets’ strategy of expanding our businesses and harnesses The Publisher Desk’s marketplace power in generating expanded growth opportunities. Backed by the combined weight of Intermarkets and The Publisher Desk, these greater joint opportunities will grow Ringside Intel as fans’ destination for all things that punch, grapple, sweat, and bleed.” This launch comes a month after The Publisher Desk acquired Forever Blueshirts, the leading source of information about the New York Rangers, and six months after Intermarkets added Bounding Into Sports, a spin-off of the popular entertainment site Bounding Into Comics, which brings Bounding's signature brand of unmatched insights and in-depth coverage to the world of sports. Ringside Intel is not affiliated with the WWE, UFC, or any other professional sports and entertainment promotions. About The Publisher Desk The Publisher Desk, based in New York with offices in London and South Florida, is a fully integrated audience development and content monetization partner to digital publishers, in addition to publishing several owned and operated sites. The company, founded in 2014, helps websites increase advertising revenues and reduce operational costs. Our team provides the proper resources, direction, operations, technology, and support for digital business, empowering sports, lifestyle & business media brands to connect with their audience and value-aligned advertisers.

How Does A Tweet Affect Your Business? FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Aicel Technologies Can Tell You

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga Turning abstract and unstructured data into actionable information can feel like a monumental task, yet it often has a great effect on businesses. “Reputation,” for example is an abstract concept that will likely generate a different definition depending on who you ask, but its impact is so important that it is included in financial statements like balance sheets (in the form of Goodwill and other designations). Similarly, sentiment, another valuable abstraction created from Tweets, “Reddit Storms” and Facebook groups, can often lead to a significant impact on businesses, generating trends, spending sprees and brand loyalty that translate into profits. But interpreting this information is a difficult task and using it to generate actionable insights is even more challenging. When trying to figure out how unstructured data affects one’s business and surroundings, it’s often best to consult experts. As a technology company specializing in the analysis and tracking of legislation and regulations in the U.S. and abroad, FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) is a preferred destination for some of the biggest organizations in the world, including the U.S. government itself – and its latest acquisition can help make sense of the flow of social media information and other unstructured data to get the most value from it. Interpreting Unstructured Data Using FiscalNote’s Aicel Technologies Recently, FiscalNote acquired Aicel Technologies, a rapidly-growing alternative data company based in Seoul, South Korea. Aicel processes both proprietary and licensed data, including trade and export information, patent filings and aggregated consumer and retail transactions, on a subscription basis for customers such as asset management companies, multinational corporations, hedge funds and investment firms. In the complicated task of turning abstractions into actionable data, Aciel is a specialist. The company uses advanced technology to collect, refine, process, and deliver tailored data to customers while also powering a data exchange marketplace through its Data-as-a-Service model. As an alternative data platform, Aicel allows users to capture value and insight from unstructured data, helping blue-chip customers like hedge funds, asset managers and quant firms capture alpha-generating opportunities. Aicel will augment FiscalNote's existing AI data products, including FiscalNote AI Solutions, DataHunt, and Predata, and its growth strategy by expanding alternative data sources, deepening expertise in sophisticated artificial intelligence, data transformation, data ingestion, and API development. The combination of Aicel with FiscalNote will accelerate the continued expansion of its customer base and revenues through a strong network of established partners, as well as sales and marketing relationships with leading firms. Whether it’s Tweets, blog posts, market prices, user information or consumer trends, FiscalNote’s newly acquired tool, Aicel, will sift through a myriad of seemingly nonsensical data and provide users with a structured, insightful path to capturing business opportunities.

PrimeXBT: A revolutionary crypto futures platform

Benzinga

In a world where cryptocurrency trading is becoming more prevalent, there is a need for a platform that caters to traders who want to take advantage of the volatility of cryptocurrencies. PrimeXBT is a platform that offers users access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies, traditional asset CFDs, copy trading, contests, and an extensive trading academy. This review will explain why PrimeXBT is a revolutionary crypto futures platform. Advanced trading tools and a user-friendly interface PrimeXBT offers a highly intuitive and user-friendly interface designed to cater to novice and experienced traders. The platform provides a high degree of customization, allowing users to tailor the platform to their specific needs. This includes the ability to customize the trading interface's layout and choose from various technical analysis tools. The platform's user interface is easy to navigate, and traders can choose from a wide range of order types, including limit, market, and stop orders. The platform also offers advanced charting tools, customizable workspaces, and a variety of technical indicators, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced traders. Unmatched selection of cryptocurrencies One of the standout features of PrimeXBT is its unmatched selection of cryptocurrencies. Traders can trade major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC), as well as numerous altcoins. The platform continually adds new assets based on market demand and trends, providing traders with diverse trading opportunities. In addition to cryptocurrencies, PrimeXBT also offers traditional asset CFDs, including forex, commodities, and stock indices. This includes gold, oil, the S&P 500, and, more recently, PrimeXBT added base industrial metals like copper and lead. The platform provides traders with greater flexibility and convenience, allowing them to diversify their portfolios and take positions in multiple financial markets, all in one place. Leverage and margin trading Leverage enables traders to open significant positions with much smaller amounts of capital than what would typically be allowed. PrimeXBT offers both cross and isolated-margin trading across a simple sliding system, allowing traders to adjust risk based on market conditions, available margin, and other factors. The platform's order placement system makes it clear how much margin impact each trade will have, as well as how much margin will be left available and at what price the position will be liquidated. Up to 200x leverage is offered for crypto and up to 1000x for traditional assets. Competitive trading fees and funding rates PrimeXBT charges competitive trading fees for cryptocurrency futures contracts, with most pairs incurring a fee of 0.05%. Additionally, traders must pay a funding rate every 24 hours, which varies depending on the trading pair. The funding rate for most pairs is 0.0694%, while for BTC/USD and ETH/USD, it's 0.0389%. These rates are subject to change based on market conditions and serve as a mechanism to balance long and short positions in the market. Traders should consider these fees and funding rates to ensure profitability when developing their trading strategies. However, it is worth noting that PrimeXBT's fees are highly competitive compared to other leading cryptocurrency futures trading platforms. In fact, PrimeXBT currently charges no fees on most traditional assets. Copy trading, trading academy, and contests Copy trading is an increasingly popular trading strategy that enables traders to follow and copy the trades of top-performing users on the platform. PrimeXBT offers a copy trading feature that allows traders to do just that, making learning from successful traders and diversifying their trading portfolios easier. With PrimeXBT copy trading, traders can browse through a list of top-performing traders on the platform and see their performance over time. Once a trader has identified a top-performing user to follow, they can easily copy their trades with just a few clicks. PrimeXBT contests offer weekly trading competitions for traders to showcase their skills and compete for crypto-based prizes. The contests feature a variety of assets, including cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities, and winners are determined based on the highest returns at the end of the competition or other unique factors. The platform's risk-free demo funds offered also allow traders to practice their strategies and test their trading abilities against other traders. PrimeXBT contests provide traders a fun and exciting way to improve their trading skills while competing for valuable prizes.
