Betsson Gets Licenses for Online Sportsbook and Casino in Peru

One of Betsson AB's subsidiaries has entered the newly regulated Peruvian market with its first local licenses. For the Betsson and Betsafe namesakes, the licenses extend to online gambling and sports betting. We also anticipate obtaining the Inkabet trademark licensing shortly.

After launching in Latin America in 2008, Betsson has become a household name in Peruvian sports betting. The corporation entered the market with its Betsafe brand in 2019, and two years later, it bought Inkabet, a company that offered online casinos and sports betting to Peruvians.

Additional licenses in the region's Colombian and Argentinean markets join the group's existing ones. The City of Buenos Aires, the province of Buenos Aires, and Córdoba are all places where Betsson has licenses in Argentina.

Massachusetts Sportsbooks to Discuss Player Limits

Today, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission announced a significant development. All seven state sportsbooks licensed by the state will be present at a future public meeting, a crucial event addressing player restrictions. This follows a notable incident a month ago when six sportsbooks failed to attend a roundtable discussion on the same topic.

According to gambling news reports, the public meeting has no schedule yet. 

Even though most Massachusetts sportsbooks were absent, the long-awaited roundtable discussion on restricting sports betting clients in the province occurred last month before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. According to the MGC, the operators wanted the meeting to go into executive session, but the other members were against the idea.

Corey Linsley to Retire After Released by Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers have released another star player during their busy offseason. Corey Linsley, a former All-Pro center who spent seven seasons with the Packers and three with the Chargers, has been dismissed by the organization. He is likely to retire after a 10-year career. 

Despite the Chargers putting Linsley on the reserve/non-football sickness list in 2023 due to a non-emergent cardiac condition, his season ended after only three games. In January, when asked if he would ever play football again, Linsley responded with a resolute '99%' certainty, a testament to his unwavering determination and love for the game.

After serving as a captain for three years with the Los Angeles Chargers, Linsley was nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in his first year of 2021. Along with it, he made the Pro Bowl that year.
