Quebec Could Be the Next Market for Legalized Sports Betting in Canada

MarketJar

Sportsbook businesses are urging Quebec to become Canada's next open sports betting jurisdiction. In May, a group of eight Canadian sportsbooks formed the Quebec Online Gaming Coalition to lobby regulators to allow private operators in the province. The initial members of the QOGC include Bet99, DraftKings, Flutter, which owns US sports betting leader FanDuel, BetMGM co-owner Entain, Betway, Rush Street Interactive, Games Global and Apricot Investments. Several of the operators in the coalition, such as Bet99 and Betway, are former unregulated gray market operators in Ontario and favor implementing a licensing and tax structure. The coalition is focused on addressing growing concerns about consumer safety, responsible gaming and advertising, as well as “substantially increasing government revenues.” Right now in Quebec, the only way to gamble on sports is through Loto-Quebec's Mise-o-jeu. The coalition's goal is to assist the government of Quebec in establishing an independent regulatory body and framework for commercial online gambling. While Ontario's sports betting regulators continue to tout their success despite little public transparency, the operators indicate that following the route of its provincial neighbor will be the wisest course of action for Quebec. The call to open additional provincial areas to private operators comes as state officials in the United States seek federal assistance in cracking down on unlawful black-market operators in the country. As Ontario is currently open to private iGaming enterprises, operators are eager to obtain entry to Canada's second-most populous jurisdiction. Quebec has a population of 8.7 million people, which is nearly the same as Virginia. The foundation of the QOGC was prompted by some of the findings of a recent Leger Marketing survey of Quebecers regarding gambling in the province. According to the survey, 71% of Quebecers polled believe the Quebec government could not prevent private internet gaming operators (who could be controlled abroad or outside the province, but not by the province itself), and 66% supported regulating those operators through a license-and-tax system. Loto-Quebec is the only authorized online sports betting service in Quebec, while there are several more in Ontario. Furthermore, while the coalition is only getting the conversation started, the Ontario iGaming model took years to develop, so creating anything similar in Quebec will take time. In April 2022, the Ontario government launched a competitive market for online sports betting and internet casinos. That regulatory framework now contains more than 70 gaming websites, in addition to Loto-Québec's equivalent digital operations in Ontario, which are administered by the government-owned Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. In less than a year of operation, Ontario's system has generated more than $35 billion in total wagering (sports betting, casino, and poker) and $1.4 billion in gross gaming income. Canadian-owned gaming brand NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BET) is among the companies achieving record wagering within the Ontario market. A Made-in-Ontario Casino and Sportsbook Gaming Platform NorthStar Gaming operates NorthStar Bets, a casino and sportsbook gambling platform with a distinct regional flavor. The platform includes a sportsbook that provides real-time news, data, analysis, and scores while betting, as well as a big selection of popular online casino games. In Q1 2023, NorthStar Gaming reported total wagers of $139.5 million, a 24% increase from Q4 2022. Gross gaming revenue was $4.4 million in Q1 2023, up 8% from the prior-year quarter, while gross margin was $1.2 million, up 20% from Q4 2022. NorthStar Bets was created in partnership with Playtech PLC (LSE:PTECH) (OTC:PYTCY), a leading developer of B2C gambling technology. As part of the agreement, Playtech became NorthStar 's strategic software and services partner, delivering its IMS platform and casino services to Ontario's gambling sector. Playtech also made a C$12.25 million strategic investment in Northstar Gaming to help the Canadian gaming industry expand and flourish. Northstar 's reverse takeover (RTO) financing was completed with this investment, raising a total of C$22.33 million in gross revenues. In addition to live, on-call agents and exclusive sports news and gaming content, NorthStar Gaming offers an unequaled casino and sportsbook experience. The company benefits from its local presence by leveraging its strong Ontario roots, which allows it to stay in tune with and adapt to the province's preferences. NorthStar is well-positioned to become a leader in the intersection of sports media and sports wagering due to collaborations and agreements with notable media companies, including an omnichannel advertising and marketing services agreement with Torstar Corporation, the founder of the Toronto Star.

Cyberattacks And Supply Chain Disruptions Put Focus On FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Dragonfly Security Intelligence To Help Leading Organizations Build Resilience Through Intelligence

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga In today's interconnected world, businesses face various geopolitical risks that can significantly impact their operations and bottom line. The risks are plentiful and various, but some have taken a specific spotlight in light of recent trends. Cybercrime, for example, proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic, posing extreme risks to government entities, corporations and individuals, and the trend looks to be continuing in 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the vulnerability of global supply chains, with lockdowns and travel restrictions causing disruptions that closed down thousands of businesses and brought thousands of others to the brink of disaster. Current geopolitical risks extend beyond these two issues. Rising tensions between the East and West initiated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have spurred murmurs of a potential third World War. Trade sanctions on Russia’s allies have placed pressure on the price of commodities, causing massive fluctuations in the price of oil and gas in Europe. Tensions have even migrated further East toward China and Taiwan which have created risks to global security. Geopolitical risks can pose some of the largest threats to governments and businesses. To mitigate these risks, private and public organizations need access to real-time intelligence and analysis that can help them anticipate and respond to potential threats. The recent acquisition of Dragonfly Eye by FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), a technology company specializing in AI-driven global policy and market intelligence solutions, provides a platform that can help businesses and governments achieve this goal. Dragonfly Eye: An Intelligence Solution To Geopolitical Risks Dragonfly Eye is a UK-based security and geopolitical intelligence provider offering a range of advisory services to help organizations manage and respond to security and political risks. They provide real-time mission-critical intelligence to security, crisis management and risk professionals across multinational companies, financial institutions, public sector entities and NGOs. Their flagship Security Intelligence and Analysis Service (SIAS) platform is used by nearly half of the top 30 companies in the FTSE-500 and 90% of the world’s top 11 banks. Their services are divided into three categories: Security Risk, Political Risk, and Systems and Solutions, which include management consulting for corporate security and risk intelligence. Dragonfly’s services help organizations manage geopolitical risks such as supply chain issues and foreign cyber attacks by providing early warning detection and forecasting to anticipate threats, risk rating systems around potential major disruptions, and access to critical analysts and embedded intelligence. Their intelligence-led security support and consultative political risk management services for investors in emerging markets are designed to help security decision-makers evaluate and respond to threats and risks. With the acquisition of Dragonfly, FiscalNote becomes a significantly enhanced platform to provide businesses with solutions to supply chain disruptions, cybersecurity attacks and other geopolitical risks.

Sundance Institute Receives $4 Million Endowment Gift from Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria

Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria

Today the nonprofit Sundance Institute announced the largest endowment gift in its history, a $4 million dollar endowment to the Institute’s Indigenous Program from the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR). The opportunities created through the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria | Sundance Institute Endowment will provide support for Indigenous artists from California-based tribes, both federally and non-federally recognized. The gift will allow Sundance Institute to expand the offerings already available to artists through the Indigenous Program, an integral component of the Institute’s work that officially began in 1994 and has been woven into the organization’s values since its inception in 1981, when Native American filmmakers were invited by founder Robert Redford to participate in the originating meetings of Sundance Institute and its first filmmaking lab. The endowment gift was facilitated by FIGR Tribal Chairman Greg Sarris, who himself was a participant in Sundance Institute’s 1992 Screenwriters Lab. In the immediate future, the endowment will create a new fellowship for emerging and mid-career Indigenous artists with a project in development or production, providing critical financial and creative support. The Graton fellows will each receive a grant of $25,000, yearlong creative mentorship from Indigenous Program staff, access to creative and professional development opportunities, and support to attend the Sundance Film Festival. The gift will also support the creation of scholarships with Sundance Collab, Sundance Institute’s digital learning space for artists from around the world. Applications are open from now until August 28, 2023 for the first round of fellowships and scholarships to be distributed in 2024. “As a nonprofit, the Institute is so grateful to Greg Sarris and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria on this incredibly generous gift that will ensure we are able to continue meaningfully supporting the development of the careers of Indigenous storytellers from tribes throughout the state of California,” said Joana Vicente, Sundance Institute CEO. “It means a lot to us that so many Native talents will be provided a space to learn, connect, and create thanks to this substantial support, and we’re especially appreciative of Greg for giving back to the Sundance family he has belonged to for decades.” “So much of cinema’s history and the establishment of the American film industry has been created within California, but very rarely has it ever included the people on whose very land sustained it. That’s why it’s so heartening to think of all the artists that will benefit from this generous gift,” said Adam Piron, Director of Sundance Institute’s Indigenous Program.“The ripple effect of the opportunities created through this endowment will be significant. Our program is dedicated to empowering a broad range of Indigenous voices, and we’re so excited to be able to expand our mission, specifically to California Indigenous tribes, with the addition of the fellowship and Collab scholarships.” “When I was a part of the Screenwriter’s Lab at Sundance in 1992, I witnessed firsthand the incredible support that the Institute provides to all artists, but Indigenous talent specifically,” said Greg Sarris, Tribal Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. “We are excited to see the creative breakthroughs from future fellows and scholarship recipients. Supporting and nurturing these artists will open up pathways to success for the entire California Indigenous creative community and enable us to tell our stories.” Sundance Institute has a rich history in supporting Indigenous storytellers who have made successful careers working in the film and television industry. Over the years, we have championed Sydney Freeland, Sterlin Harjo, Sky Hopinka, Blackhorse Lowe, Fox Maxy, Caroline Monnet, Shaandiin Tome, Erica Tremblay, Taika Waititi, and more. The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria | Sundance Institute Endowment will help Sundance further grow this community. Interested applicants must be affiliated with a tribe within the state of California and can learn more here. *** About the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Graton Rancheria is a federally recognized Indian tribe comprising Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo Indians. Legislation restoring federal recognition to the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria was signed into law in December 2000. Tribal lands are located in Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, Calif. For more information, visit www.gratonrancheria.com. About Sundance Institute As a champion and curator of independent stories, the nonprofit Sundance Institute provides and preserves the space for artists across storytelling media to create and thrive.

Sundance Collab, a digital community platform, brings a global cohort of working artists together to learn from each other and Sundance Advisors and connect in a creative space, developing and sharing works in progress. The Sundance Film Festival and other public programs connect audiences and artists to ignite new ideas, discover original voices, and build a community dedicated to independent storytelling.
