404 Media · How the FBI Tracked, and Froze, Millions Sent to Criminals in Massive Caesars Casino HackA new court document shows the FBI raced to stop hackers moving the ransom Caesars paid, with authorities freezing much of the extortion payment.
Just received the 'please vote for me' email from my local (Labor) MP.

@gbhnews has a new podcast series, “Scratch & Win,” which is about the rise of America’s most successful lottery. Expect tales of organized crime, the FBI, and U.S. politics — just another day in America, in other words.
GBHScratch & WinNever in American history has it been so easy to gamble, legally at least. We’ve got casinos, sports betting, online poker, keno — but it was all made possible by state lotteries, which brought gambling out of the shadows and into the public square — into the government itself.“Scratch & Win” follows the unlikely rise of America’s most successful lottery. We begin in 1970s Boston, with state bureaucrats going toe to toe with mafia bookmakers, and each other, as they struggle to launch the state's greatest innovation: the scratch ticket. But the story reaches all the way to the present moment. How do we feel about the gambling industry that lotteries helped summon into being? And should the state be in this business at all?“Scratch & Win” is made by the Peabody Award-winning team behind “The Big Dig,” produced by GBH News and distributed by PRX.
We lose $32b a year to online gambling. A new bill might help reduce it
By Alan Kohler
About $32 billion a year is now lost by people betting online, mostly by those who can't afford it. A bill that would force online betting outfits to display to each client what they're losing, and what they've lost, each time they log on is hoped to change that.

ABC News · Bill cracking down on online gambling could make losses seem more real
Recent reports reveal that multiple Japanese entertainers and pro baseball players have made a habit of visiting online casinos, which are illegal to use in Japan. The rapid growth in online casino usage has the government considering whether it should block access.
This is all the luck I've had recently. I'm up 5 kr. Now is a good time to pull out the profits and live like a king.

Only well-regulated capitalism can work, so its disappointing (although hardly surprising) to find another regulator (this time the Gambling Commission) being much too cosy & accommodating to the sector it regulates; secret accommodations with the sector is the classic symptom of regulatory capture.
For a regulated capitalism to work, the regulators need to be sceptical & tough on those they regulate, but the UK pretty commonly fails this test!
