How do US and UK online casinos differ?

Online casinos are popular in both the United Kingdom and the United States. While they generally work in the same way, there are some significant differences between them which we’ve decided to take a look at here.
What’s Different?
The main difference between UK online casinos and those in the US are regulatory bodies. In the UK, all online casinos must possess a valid license from the UK Gambling Gambling, the United Kingdom’s main regulatory body for all things gambling. According to SmartphoneCasinos.co.uk, a popular casino review site in Great Britain, obtaining such a license has become incredibly difficult, and operators need to prove their eligibility to provide a safe and fair gambling experience in more than one aspect of their operations. Meanwhile, in the United States, this is a little more complicated as it will depend on each individual state, most of which have their own regulatory bodies which determine various factors at the online casino.
The game selection is also very different between American and British online casinos. In the UK, games at online casinos are usually provided by some of the big-name developers like Microgaming, NetEnt, Playson, Big Time Gaming, Playtech, Blueprint Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Wazdan, and so many others. The games at US casinos, however, are all developed by independent studios. Yet, some popular UK developers have begun offering their games to US casino sites which have helped diversify the US offering.
Promotions and bonuses between those in the US and UK work differently too. You’ll find that US online casinos tend to offer bigger promotions and bonuses than the bonuses found at UK websites. Both have terms and conditions that you must follow, but the UK casino promotions are generally much more restrictive than those in the US.
Finally, it’s important to point out that the most successful online casinos in the UK are owned by big-name brands like BGO, Aspire Global, 888 Holdings, Genesis Global, and so many others. In the US, however, most sites are independent, making them much more unique than those in the UK.
What’s Similar?
Despite their differences, US and UK online casinos work very similarly. You both have to register and create an account to play at an online casino, and you’ll have to make deposits using approved payment options.
UK and US online casinos all tend to offer similar games too including video slots, jackpots and classic table games. However, the variety of games available will depend entirely on the individual online casino. Since UK online casinos tend to have more game developers, UK casino sites may likely offer more games than their US counterparts.
Both UK and US online casinos must follow strict rules and regulations. Casinos in the UK must follow the rules set out by the UK Gambling Commission which involve age limitations on those who can be added to VIP schemes, limitations on promotions including how many times the bonuses must be wagered and whether or not there are win caps.
Meanwhile, gambling in the United States is incredibly restricted due to tight regulation – in most US States, online gambling still hasn’t been legalised, but other gambling-related activities are completely fine. The regulation varies between the US States, but it seems that more states have begun green-lighting online gambling, so we may soon see more UK game developers and casino operators launch in the US.
Online gambling in the UK has been legal for a very long time, but in the US, it’s still growing and changing. There are plenty of differences between online casinos in the two countries but they both mainly offer customers a chance to play great games and maybe make some wins too.

NH Players Wager $20M on March Madness

New Hampshire Lottery enthusiasts wagered over $20 million on the NCAA basketball tournaments, experiencing a more than 10% increase in wagering from the previous year. Florida secured the men’s championship, while UConn emerged victorious on the women’s side.
Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director of New Hampshire Lottery, said: “What an incredible month of college hoops! We love seeing our players getting in on the sports betting action! Sports betting just adds a little extra excitement to the sports viewing experience, especially during March Madness when there are dozens of games throughout the month—not to mention an expanding variety of ways to bet.”
McIntyre highlighted March Madness as a significant period for sports betting, contributing notably to funding New Hampshire’s public education. Alongside the excitement of March Madness, anticipation is building for the NHL and NBA Playoffs.
During the pre-tournament phase, local gamblers heavily backed Duke for the men’s category and strongly supported UConn for the women’s, with UConn delivering a favorable outcome. Conversely, Florida’s triumph in the men’s championship surprised many, as only 15% had initially placed their hopes on the team. However, by the championship game against Houston, two-thirds of bettors picked Florida, redeeming many bracket predictions.
Since its inception on December 30, 2019, mobile sports betting in New Hampshire has generated over $3.5 billion, benefiting public education by more than $140 million. Residents can place bets via the DraftKings Sportsbook app, available on iOS and Android, or online at Sportsbook.DraftKings.com. Responsible gaming is emphasized, with tools like My Stats Sheet, limit setting, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options available on the app.

Northern Super League Partners with Stats Perform

Stats Perform, the global leader in sports AI, data and technology, has announced an official data partnership with the Northern Super League (NSL). The partnership will allow world-leading Opta data to be collected live from every NSL league game for the next three years.
Beginning this month, the Northern Super League (NSL) establishes a new era in Canadian sport as the country’s first professional domestic women’s soccer league — an ambitious and transformative initiative co-founded by former Canadian international and Olympic medallist Diana Matheson. Its inaugural season kicks off on April 16 and will feature six teams who have assembled multinational player rosters with extensive club and international experience, including 100-cap Canadian internationals Desiree Scott and Quinn.
Once the action begins, detailed data from every on-ball event, including advanced AI-powered Opta Analytics metrics such as Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA), will be captured and distributed via feeds and Stats Perform products, including OptaAI Studio. This will enable various broadcasters, publishers and rights holders to generate stories and insights throughout the NSL season and provide them straight to the league’s fans in real time.
As part of the agreement, the NSL’s League Office and every NSL club will also have access to Opta Search, part of OptaAI Studio. This will allow their content creators to leverage all Opta data collected during the NSL season in the creation of data-led stories on the stand-out performers, and will help them generate key talking points for publication on official league and club platforms. Opta Search will also empower the NSL’s media team to create a range of data visualizations, including player shot maps and touch maps, to visually illustrate the impact of different players’ on-field performances.
Christina Litz, NSL President, said: “We are thrilled to have Stats Perform on board as our official data partner. When we talk about detailed performance data in soccer, Opta is the gold standard, so we are delighted to have it powering each of our official digital channels. As the season progresses, we want to put the spotlight on all the on-field heroes who emerge and having access to world-class data will help us tell their stories and inspire a new generation of Canadian soccer fans.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Stats Perform has been a huge supporter of expansion leagues around the world, so we are very pleased to be partnering with NSL in the lead-up to their first domestic campaign. Seeing a fully professional women’s soccer league launch in Canada is an incredibly exciting development for the sport in North America and we see considerable potential in working proactively with the League’s Head Office to help the competition grow, using the power of AI and data-led storytelling to build fan communities across the continent.”
