In return for licensing its racing channels and data to five Santeda-run sites, Sports Information Services (SIS) took 18% of the gross gambling revenue on its racing products and 13% on esports. The agreement ran for two years, then renewed automatically until either side gave three months\u2019 notice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">SIS supplies betting sites with live horse racing, greyhound, and esports feeds, plus the data used to settle bets. Ladbrokes owns 23%, William Hill nearly 20%, and Betfred owner Fred Done holds 8%, according to the Guardian. The contract was among the thousands of files from <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/igaming\/curacao-casino-secrets-exposed-regulatory-leak\/\">Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s licensing portal<\/a> that German hacker Lilith Wittmann published last month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The contract does not allow use of SIS content in the U.K. Santeda\u2019s license from Cura\u00e7ao does not cover the U.K. or the U.S., but a previous Guardian investigation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2026\/apr\/01\/the-vast-casino-network-targeting-uk-gamblers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found Santeda sites illegally targeting U.K. customers<\/a>, including through affiliate sites pitching them to gamblers who had self-excluded from licensed betting. Santeda\u2019s filings also include a crypto risk policy, dated September 2024, that requires deposit and withdrawal wallets to be screened, a control Cura\u00e7ao <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/curacao-orders-its-crypto-casinos-to-screen-wallets-and-ban-mixers-with-full-compliance-due-in-2027\/\">has since ordered all its crypto casinos to adopt<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is not clear whether the deal is still active or how much SIS earned from it. SIS declined to say whether it had been terminated. A spokesperson said all customers agree to \u201conly offer SIS products where it is legal to do so,\u201d and that SIS takes \u201ccorrective action\u201d up to and including terminating contracts when terms are breached.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The bookmakers that own SIS have been among the loudest voices warning that higher taxes and tighter rules will push British gamblers to unlicensed offshore sites. SIS shareholders have received at least \u00a337 million ($49 million) in dividends since the Santeda deal was signed, Companies House filings suggest.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2026\/oct\/01\/uk-bookmakers-offshore-casinos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Industry sources told the Guardian<\/a> the bookmakers could not have known about the deal, because controls stop them from seeing commercially sensitive information about industry rivals. One source said they were \u201cfurious.\u201d Ladbrokes owner Entain said it was \u201cnot a party to the commercial or customer arrangements SIS decides to strike,\u201d adding that it takes the matter \u201cvery seriously and [has] raised our concerns to SIS.\u201d William Hill owner Evoke and Done had not responded to the Guardian\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIf the gambling industry is concerned about the black market, it needs to get its own house in order by cutting all ties with it,\u201d said Matt Zarb-Cousin, director of gambling-blocking company Gamban.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/igaming\/curacao-casino-secrets-exposed-regulatory-leak\/\">\u201cCasino Secrets\u201d leak<\/a> has already drawn fire from Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s regulator, which called the breach \u201ca serious breach under Cura\u00e7ao law\u201d in a Sept. 22 statement and said it would report it to the relevant authorities. Separately, Wittmann says she <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/igaming\/casino-secrets-hacker-beats-malta-regulator-leak-site-down\/\">beat Malta\u2019s gambling regulator in a Berlin court<\/a> last week over an earlier hack of its systems, and the archive moved to a new domain after its original address was suspended.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/igaming\/casino-secrets-leak-ties-uk-bookmakers-offshore-mystake-operator\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways SIS, majority-owned by Ladbrokes, William Hill and Betfred\u2019s owner, signed a 2022 deal with Santeda.
