Why is Super Group finding success in Africa while other gambling companies struggle with regulatory uncertainty? And why does Sportradar see prediction markets as an opportunity?

Q3 2026 reporting season is revealing two very different approaches to growth across the global gambling industry.

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, Charlie Horner is joined by SBC News Editor Ted Orme-Claye and Senior Journalist Viktor Kayed to examine the latest financial results from Super Group and Sportradar.

First, Super Group.

The Betway and Spin operator reported Q3 profit of $142 million, compared with $96 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

With Africa accounting for 43% of group revenue, the discussion explores why Super Group's focus on African markets is delivering growth, and why the operator has chosen to step away from the US and avoid prediction markets.

Then, Sportradar.

The sports technology and data company reported 24% year-on-year revenue growth in Q3, supported by its expanding sports rights portfolio and the acquisition of IMG Arena.

Unlike Super Group, Sportradar sees an opportunity in prediction markets, particularly as a supplier of sports data and technology.

The team also discusses:

• Super Group's expansion across African gambling markets
• Why operators are reassessing opportunities in the US and Brazil
• Sportradar's sports data and fan engagement strategy
• The risks and opportunities surrounding prediction markets
• What Q3 results reveal about the gambling industry's outlook for 2027

Flutter has reported Q3 standalone losses of $1.2bn in the first set of results under new Chief Executive Officer Dan Taylor, while leadership maintains that the NYSE-listed group holds unmatched scale in its global business structure.

Yet EBITDA and profitability continue to be affected by the fallout from Brazil’s betting ban, a squeeze on UK margins and compounding US costs as FanDuel works to reset its competitive edge against new threats.

In today’s iGaming Daily, host Fernando Noodt is joined by Ted Menmuir, SBC Editor-at-Large and Ted Orme-Claye, SBC News Editor, to break down the results and what they mean for Taylor.

The team looks at what the $1.2bn figure accounts for, the positives Flutter is pitching to the market, the pressure on UK and Ireland margins and whether the group can recover under its current structure.

In this episode:
What stands out from Flutter’s Q3 trading update
What new CEO Dan Taylor is seeking to fix first

Did Bradley Walsh's Million Pound Shot expose the gambling industry's biggest problems, or give viewers a misleading picture of regulated betting in the UK?

Channel 4 has sparked controversy with Bradley Walsh's Million Pound Shot, a staged game show designed to highlight gambling-related harm and the techniques that can encourage problematic gambling.

What began as a high-stakes quiz with contestants risking their own money was revealed to be an elaborate television production exploring the experiences of people affected by gambling addiction.

While the programme received widespread attention, its portrayal of the gambling industry has drawn criticism from the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), which argues that several practices shown would not be permitted by licensed UK operators.

In today's iGaming Daily, host Charlie Horner is joined by Joe Streeter, Editor of iGaming Expert, and Viktor Kayed, Senior Journalist at SBC News, to examine the controversy and its wider implications for UK gambling.

Was the programme an effective way to raise awareness of gambling harm? Did it fairly represent the safeguards and regulations in place across the licensed sector? And can the industry communicate its position to a mainstream audience in the same way?

The panel explores the differences between regulated and unlicensed gambling, the industry's response to Channel 4, the growing public debate around gambling regulation and what this could mean for the future of the sector.

**In this episode:**
- What happened on Bradley Walsh's Million Pound Shot?
- Why Channel 4 created a fake game show about gambling harm
- The Betting and Gaming Council's criticism of the programme
- Whether the show accurately portrayed regulated gambling practices
- How gambling-related harm is presented to mainstream audiences
- The importance of customer protection and safer gambling interventions
- Whether the industry can improve its public reputation
- The potential impact on future gambling regulation and taxation

As debates around gambling harm, regulation and industry responsibility continue, the episode asks whether a more balanced conversation is possible.
