AFR on the global streaming wars
AFR on the global streaming wars. We're looking at doing more back-up and cross platform management of our audio interviews from almost two decades in the game. Who to give the business to... Alphabet's TubeTube and/or Spotify or another? SoundCloud just about priced themselves out of the game at this stage and may be going down further, just as MeetUp did years ago when their price point was off. Talk about a competitive market sector. Almost disappointed Musk's Twitter doesn't offer a streaming service/platform, at least not at present. LinkedIn continues to tie the other platforms together nicely, so kudos to Microsoft on that front. Regarding Paramount Plus, The Twilight Zone gets our nod for best legacy/traditional show on any streaming service. YouTubes' 'Hacking Google' series recently won our 'Documentary Of The Month' award. Can AFR reduce the paywall charge for happy SMH subscribers? Feels appropriate to ask here! Friendly Faangs season is here with and without adverts. Pass on Google Box for now. Have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. Sydney Twitter Flock out. Tweet Tweet!

Pop Culture, Celebrity, Gaming, Casino and Sports Betting Connection
Celebrities have always been among the pastimes biggest fans, from Mozart and Casanova to Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and beyond.
Like the rest, they frequent gambling establishments to enjoy various entertainment options. The convenience and excitement of playing casino games at one of the many online gambling sites have attracted an increasing number of celebrities in recent years.
These celebrities bet for fun as opposed to high-rollers at world-famous casinos. They have a top time at casinos and enjoy the games on offer. Most winners give some cash to charity, while some put it back into the gambling industry as well as fund other endeavors.
Let's review a few of the famous and well known names who enjoy a punt.
TOP 5 CELEBRITIES
1. MATT DAMON
Actor and big roller, Matt Damon, kicks off the list of renowned gamblers.
Matt Damon is a professional poker and blackjack player, in addition to being a famous actor. He was acting as a law student and talented poker player Mike McDermott in the 1998 blockbuster Rounders gave the five-time Oscar contender and one-time Oscar winner a newfound passion for gaming.
Damon prepared for his role by training with Johnny Chan, a professional poker player. He is one of the world’s finest professional poker players. Damon owes him a debt of gratitude for teaching him the ropes of the game.
The famous actor from Hollywood kept playing traditional casino table games like poker and blackjack long after filming had wrapped up. Damon is periodically observed at some of the world’s most prestigious casinos, albeit he does not get to play there as often as he would like.
There are few specifics on what he’s doing with his earnings. Damon enjoys gambling and has even competed in several tournaments. He chooses to play at well-known casinos to pay out the most.
2. BEN AFFLECK
Ben Affleck, Matt Damon’s best friend, hardly needs an introduction. And he’s a card counter and gambler, much like Damon. In the 2013 crime thriller, Runner Runner, Affleck played a character who was up against a made-up empire of internet casinos. Even though the movie was poorly received by some critics, but not by hardcores, Affleck kept on gambling, and the personnel at the casinos where he played said that he always left tips.
3. GEORGE CLOONEY
George Clooney, the co-star of Matt Damon in several Hollywood films, has long been a fan of the casino scene and has been in the process of purchasing a Las Vegas gambling establishment since 2005. Unfortunately, this famous high-ideas roller never got off the ground, so he visited the casinos of others and appeared in films like Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.
4. BRAD PITT
Brad Pitt is up next. Like many of his coworkers, it appears that the Ocean’s franchise introduced him to the joys of gambling, specifically card games like poker and blackjack. Before filming the gambling scenes, Pitt visited multiple casinos to hone his game and soak in the distinctive casino ambiance. He still likes to play blackjack at the casino whenever he has the time.
5. FLOYD MAYWEATHER
Although many have gambled on Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s bouts, the flamboyant boxer has been known to bet huge sums of money on other sporting events. He allegedly considered placing a $400,000 bet on himself to defeat UFC superstar Conor McGregor but ultimately opted against doing so after several bookies raised doubts about the legitimacy of such a wager. In 2012, he made headlines for placing a $1.1 million bet on the NCAA football game between Oregon and Arizona State, which he then boasted about on social media.
Media Man Wrap
Gamblers come from all walks of life. Celebrities want to take part in it regularly since they find it enjoyable. Games, especially gambling games, have been the film’s subject. Keep in mind that this is just a sampling of the famous people that enjoy gambling. Most famous people regularly indulge in gambling since they like it so much. As always, bet with your head, not over it, and have fun!

Murdoch's News Corp-Fox reunion gambit comes as sports betting valuations tank
Nov 2 - Rupert Murdoch’s proposal to recombine News Corp (NWSA.O) and Fox Corp (FOXA.O) and capitalize on sports betting has yet to convince Wall Street as the valuations in the once red-hot gambling market crumble, according to former employees, financial analysts and sports media experts.
While some former employees see the move as driven by the 91-year-old Murdoch's succession planning to consolidate power behind his son Lachlan Murdoch, CEO of Fox Corp, people familiar with the Murdochs' thinking say they are serious about the sports betting opportunity.
"The proposal is 100% based on business rationale," a spokesman for Rupert Murdoch told Reuters. "Any commentary that implies it has to do with succession planning is absurd and comes from sources with no knowledge of the strategy."
There are other factors motivating the merger including a bid to achieve greater scale in news, live sports and information, sources said. Lachlan Murdoch did not discuss the potential deal on Tuesday's earnings call, but talked up the value of scale, "particularly (in) the next couple of years, when opportunities in the marketplace will emerge."
As recently as August, Lachlan Murdoch described sports betting as "a huge opportunity" for Fox Sports, telling Wall Street it would fuel viewer engagement. Combining live game broadcasts with News Corp's sports coverage would create a more compelling sports package, and strengthen the company's hand when it comes to sports betting, according to people familiar with the deal's logic.
But Wall Street's enthusiasm for sports betting has cooled since early 2021, as investors prioritize profitability over spending aggressively to acquire new customers. Thirty-six U.S. states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports betting, though the pace has slowed.
"The thing about the sports betting opportunity is it started off like a house on fire, with all the states approving it," said Huber Research Inc analyst Douglas Arthur. "But I'm not hearing as much excitement about it right now as I did nine months ago. If that's the rationale (for the merger), it's a pretty weak one.”
Since the start of 2022, the stock prices of 11 major publicly traded sports betting companies, including DraftKings Inc (DKNG.O) and Barstool Sportsbook's Penn Entertainment Inc (PENN.O), have tumbled by an average of 35%, according to Refinitiv data.
That does not necessarily mean the pace of legalized sports betting is slowing. Total wagers are expected to reach $390 billion globally this year, according to researcher H2 Gambling Capital. Kantar Sports analyst Ryan McConnell said the market is flooded with new entrants and consolidation appears likely.
Casualties are starting to build up. Streaming service FuboTV shuttered its sports betting service in October, and Churchill Downs announced in February that it would abandon online sports.
"It's a highly competitive market," said gaming industry analyst Steve Ruddock. "It's difficult for companies that aren't fully invested in that as their primary business to compete."
SLOW START
Since selling their movie assets to the Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) in 2019, the Murdochs laid a new course for a slimmed-down Fox, based on sports betting. The company soon paid $236 million for a 5% stake in Toronto online bookmaker the Stars Group which helped launch Fox Bet and owns the app.
Combining Fox with News Corp could bring a larger audience to sports betting, potentially increasing the financial rewards for attracting new gamblers and gaining more lucrative sponsorships from sportsbooks eager to promote their apps, said one media executive.
The Murdochs' early foray has been slow-going. The sports betting app Fox Bet is available in four states, with just 0.2% share of the U.S. market, according to researcher Vixio. A free version called Fox Bet Super 6 has attracted some 6 million users whom Fox hopes to eventually convert to gamblers.
The growth of Fox Bet has stagnated since market-leading FanDuel's owner, Flutter Entertainment Plc (FLTRF.L), acquired Stars Group in 2020. The companies have been locked in a dispute over the price Fox would pay to exercise its option to buy 18.6% of FanDuel. The matter is the subject of an arbitration case and Lachlan Murdoch told investors a decision is expected imminently.
News Corp has previously stumbled in sports betting. Last month, News' first direct investment in Australian bookmaking, Betr, went live ahead of the country's most-watched horse race, the Melbourne Cup. Within two days, an ad that ran in News Corp's tabloid newspapers triggered a regulator inquiry into whether the ads breached laws prohibiting inducement to gamble. Betr says it is cooperating with the regulator.
Matt Davey, chairman of Las Vegas sports betting investment firm Tekkorp Digital Acquisition Corp , which co-invested with News Corp in Betr, said News had seized on its media reach in Australia, where it sells more than half of all newspapers and runs sports-heavy cable TV channel Foxtel, to create a "pretty powerful combination" of media and betting.
At least one investor is waiting to be convinced that approach will work in the United States.
"Fox has got a far-reaching audience so it does make sense, if you're going to launch (sports betting) into the U.S., that you have that Fox network, distribution and partnership," said John Ayoub, a portfolio manager at Sydney-based Wilson Asset Management, which owns News Corp's Australian-listed shares. "But we'll probably need a little bit more detail."
Punters slam News Corp-backed Betr for deactivated accounts
Scores of angry punters have accused News Corp-backed wagering group Betr of deactivating their accounts to prevent them claiming Melbourne Cup winnings.
The consumer discontent comes after Betr’s controversial 100-1 odds offer was embraced by hundreds of thousands of people. The group, led by gambling entrepreneurs Matthew Tripp and Andrew Menz, has congratulated those who backed Gold Trip to Melbourne Cup victory on Tuesday and said Betr had paid out all bets by the end of the day.
However, some disappointed users said their accounts had been deactivated without explanation.
Betr wrote to all suspended users on Wednesday asking them to verify the card details of their account or face permanent suspension. The Northern Territory Racing Commission, the authority Betr’s licence is beholden to, prevents betters holding multiple accounts with a bookmaker.
“Our systems have detected that you have made a deposit with a card that is registered to another Betr account holder. Using a card which does not match a customer’s account details is a breach of our terms and conditions,” an excerpt from the letter sent by Betr to affected users on Wednesday afternoon read. The bookmaker declined to comment.
Betr narrowly avoided losses of between $20 million and $50 million on the race after Gold Trip proved victorious over favourite Deauville Legend. Instead, it will pay 10,000 people who backed Gold Trip just over $1000 each.
More than 300,000 customers have joined Betr since it was launched in October, with an array of enticing odds including the 100-1 offer. The uptake has far surpassed expectations drawing suspicion from some the fledgling company may be out of its depth, having suffered a range of in-app issues earlier this month.
Betr was accused of having bitten off more than it could chew when it texted customers with a last-minute offer to take up an $150 betting voucher in exchange for their Deauville Legend bets late on Monday evening. Critics and media reports also pointed to Betr’s own bets on the favourite with rival Tabcorp to reduce its exposure by about $10 million as a sign of panic, but this is a relatively standard practice among bookmakers.
Betr was also rebuked by the NSW regulator on its second day of operations after it ran an aggressive marketing campaign about its odds offer in News Corp’s newspapers and is now the subject of an ongoing investigation into whether it has broken the state’s inducement laws.
One form guide analyst, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he expects Betr’s rapid growth to “backfire spectacularly”.
“Betr’s app so far has been a complete shambles,” the analyst said, adding it was a shame given the demand for competition in the market.
“There’s far too much onus on individual bettors to chase a bookie for their winnings and there are too many clunky apps with poor communication and service across the board.”
Others, including semi-professional punter Bryce Parker, came to the defence of the bookmaker. “I don’t get the amount of negativity thrown at Betr,” he said.
“In my opinion delayed payouts and poor customer service isn’t a bad price to pay with odds like that. They’re not forcing you to sign up. I’m not going to disparage the everyday punter getting the chance to win one grand off $10,” Parker continued, adding he thought Australia’s gambling scene had become too hard to please.
The owner of rival bookmakers Neds and Ladbrokes, Entain, said on Wednesday its yield from the Melbourne Cup had grown by 30 per cent this year, with bets on Gold Trip accounting for nearly 3 per cent of the hold. No other bookmakers disclosed their turnover to this masthead. Victoria Racing Club reported last year’s Melbourne Cup wagering yield was $372.8 million, up 1.9 per cent on 2020.
Entain chief executive Dean Shannon said it was easily the most bets the business has taken on a single race in its 10-year history and that NSW’s simultaneous race had boosted performance.
“The Big Dance has definitely added to the day. Betting on that race was 300 per cent up on a standard Sydney race on Cup Day last year, so it shows that these big events compliment each other,” Shannon said.
Gambling companies get new advertising tag
Australian TV viewers will no longer hear the hastily uttered "gamble responsibly" tagline.
From March 2023, betting companies like Ladbrokes, Sportsbet and TAB must ditch the well-known slogan in favour of seven new and government-approved ones.
"Evidence and research clearly shows the 'gamble responsibly' message doesn't do the job of getting people to think and to minimise harm," Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth told ABC radio on Wednesday.
"So the new taglines, which were agreed with all state territories and the Commonwealth, are evidence-based and they actually have been shown to work."
The new mottos include "Chances are you're about to lose", "You win some. You lose more", "What's gambling really costing you?" and "What are you really gambling with?"
When on screen, they must accompany information about gambling addiction resources and appear in the largest font possible to take up a third of the on-screen space.
If the taglines are spoken, they have to be read slowly and calmly.
Online gambling firms must rotate through each of slogans over a 12-month period to stop viewers becoming acclimatised to a message.
While gambling critics welcome the changes, some want them to go further.
They're "welcome and a good start to the widespread reform urgently needed", according to Tasmanian independent Andrew Wilkie.
"Doing away with the 'gamble responsibly' message is appropriate because the problems in the online and sports betting industry are more about the predatory behaviour of that industry than the behaviour of gamblers.
"Of course there are many bigger reforms that remain unaddressed."
Mr Wilkie is calling for a ban on television gambling ads during G-rated viewing hours and the implementation daily limits on betting companies.
In NSW, parliamentary crossbenchers have pushed for a mandatory cashless gaming card to provide harm reduction benefits for problem gamblers and crackdown on money laundering.
A report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found Australians lost around $25 billion on legal forms of gambling from 2018-2019, one of the biggest per capita losses in the world.
Beyond the financial costs, the report also revealed for every person who experienced problem gambling, up to six people around them were negatively affected.
Leaders Are Leaving Wall Street For The High Stakes World Of Blockchain Gaming
Profiles
Bitcoin Blockchain Cryptocurrency Gaming Games NFTs Business Markets Media
Brash, high-flying 26-year-olds working in private equity at legendary asset management firm BlackRock are decidedly a rare breed. Even more scarce are those who voluntarily walk away from Wall Street to plunge headfirst into a largely untested emerging market. Yet, that’s exactly the trajectory of Paul Taylor, chief strategy officer at Fancy Studios, who left the $10 trillion asset firm to focus on one of the latest and more exotic applications of crypto, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and blockchain.
“I loved every moment of my work,” he recalls. “Being surrounded by the best in the business and the never-ending flow of projects was great. The work kept me on my toes every second and it was a fantastic learning experience. I really appreciated the exposure to world class companies, investors, and management teams.”
Yet, in hindsight, Taylor admits the allure of crypto began to gnaw away at him. As he watched an increasing flow of talent and capital migrate to the world of blockchain, he wondered whether he was missing out.
“I’d been following crypto since 2017, and funnily enough, I had a reputation as one of BlackRock’s biggest bears on the space,” he says. “I consider myself a logical person with a healthy degree of skepticism, and in the earlier days of crypto, there were just so many projects that didn’t have real use cases. Lots of buzzwords and vague roadmaps without a clear slight to real utility. I was interested, but not interested enough to seriously consider switching careers.”
Of course, the path carved by Wall Street insiders leaving their lucrative gigs in favor of crypto is one now well traveled. Several years after the early exuberance of investors in Bitcoin and other digital currencies and NFTs, a new application of blockchain is gaining momentum: “GameFi.” Also known as “Web3 gaming” or “blockchain gaming,” it is promising to breathe new life into digital assets and empower gamers.
A mashup of “gaming” and “finance,” GameFi is a term used to describe online activities which offer players the chance to win, trade, and own digital assets. Functioning within games in the form of game characters, currencies, and commodities, these digital placeholders can also be interoperable, meaning that they can be used in other games.
“The more I learned about GameFi, the more comfortable I got,” Taylor says. “I talked with founders of some of the biggest names in GameFi, played tons of crypto games, and used my instinct as a gamer to build my confidence in the industry. As a chess player, I thought both short-term and long-term to predict future trends and market adoption, including the opportunities and risks. Ultimately, I created my own thesis on the industry and had enough conviction to pursue it with my full focus.”
Over the past year, GameFi has quickly become a strategically important sector for crypto and is attracting the attention of gamers, as well as funding from investors. According to DappRadar, GameFi currently represents over 50% of all blockchain activity, measured by unique active wallets, which represent users who have recently performed transactions within the ecosystem. GameFi is also expected to grow to a $50 billion market by 2025, according to research from Crypto.com.
One popular example of this new shift in gaming is Axie Infinity which had a meteoric rise in 2021, hosting 2.7 million daily active users in November and having tens of millions of dollars worth of its NFTs traded weekly. Much of the appeal are crypto tokens used as rewards for completing quests, battling other players, and for breeding digital pets. As you may have guessed, these digital assets take the form of NFTs which players can buy, sell, and trade with others. The inclusion of NFTs is integral to the popularity of GameFi gaming industry, according to analysts. The concept of real ownership represents a paradigm shift in the industry–gamers now can own what they spend their time and money on.
Although in recent months Axie Infinity has experienced a decline in its popularity, other GameFi projects have emerged with variations on the model, attracting capital from investors. In the first half of this year, more than $5 billion has entered the sector, compared to $4 billion for the entire 2021. A $600 million fund was launched by Andreessen Horowitz in May, entirely focused on “building the future of the games industry.” A month later, Immutable debuted a $500 million fund with the mission to “boost the adoption of Web3 games.”
Today, Paul Taylor believes these high profile bets on GameFi further validate his rationale for leaving Wall Street and jumping into the still-embryonic GameFi sector.
“As we saw, GameFi really took off in 2021,” he comments. “Its appeal is deeply rooted in who I am. Growing up, I was the kid who would come home from school and finish my homework as fast as possible to try to get a computer gaming session in before my parents kicked me off to go to bed. Then I’d sneak up at midnight to continue where I left off. Being a lifetime gamer has given me an edge in determining whether a GameFi project is legit or just smoke and mirrors. I can play a game for a bit and instantly tell you if it’s fun or not.”
He adds that his love of strategy and competition truly took root the moment he saw a chess board. Even as a child, Taylor was far from a pedestrian chess player. After learning the game at the age of five, he went on to win his first state scholastic title within a year. That was his first of what became eight state titles. At seven he won his first national scholastic title, the first of four. At just eight years of age he was coaching a collegiate chess team. By 11 he was taking on (and defeating) 15 players at a time. After turning 13 he abruptly quit, noting that around this age is usually when one decides if they want to go pro or not. For him, chess was a game, not a career. However, he still plays regularly, albeit casually.
He credits chess with playing a very large role in how he thinks and views the world, saying the game is an allegory for many things in life. Taylor says he tends to analyze things mechanically and calculates multiple scenarios over time.
“Gamers represent one-half to two-thirds of the world’s population, depending on how you define it. Additionally, gaming is among today’s most popular pastimes. And this isn’t a new trend. In 2015, the League of Legends world championship event had 27 million viewers, more than the NBA finals or MLB world series. In 2019, the League of Legends world championship had over 100 million unique viewers, beating out the Super Bowl’s 98 million. The younger generations are spending more and more time online, and a large amount of that time is spent on gaming. There’s a reason why gaming has the highest profit margins of any established industry. GameFi represents the next evolution for gaming and it’s easy to understand why its prospects have captured the imagination of investors,” he states.
“In my view it's impossible for a market to hit a trillion market capitalization and then wind up having no value. It’s still early days for everything in crypto and there are a lot of emerging trends. Capital will accelerate innovation and quickly figure out what works versus what does not. I believe GameFi will be one of the big winners. There are of course educational, onboarding, and regulatory hurdles the industry must overcome, and we are still waiting for blockbuster web3 games to bring in many more millions of traditional web2 gamers. However, I’m confident that will all happen within a couple of years.”
After experimenting with a variety of GameFi entrants vying for gamer loyalty, Taylor landed at Fancy Studios, a Web3 gaming studio focused on developing hyper-casual mobile games that use blockchain technology and NFTs. In his role as Chief Strategy Officer he oversees business strategy, project management, and brainstorms how to scale the business.
Founded in October of last year, the hot game developer has already raised $12.5 million to fund their first few titles. Investors represent some of the most notable players in the industry, including Framework Ventures, Illuvium, Merit Circle, and Yield Guild Games. To date, Fancy Studios has released two games with more in the pipeline for this and next year. Their first game ‘Fancy Birds’ has seen strong demand, with users minting over 45,000 of their flagship bird NFTs, which have now traded over $2 million in secondary volume on platforms such as OpenSea.
“So far, it’s been an amazing journey,” Taylor enthuses. “I really enjoy the start-up culture and being among the first in the industry to really validate your own thesis. I personally think the concept of owning digital assets and being able to use them from one game to another is really powerful. That type of flexibility simply has never existed for gamers before.”
He says that his own deep connection with gaming informs where he believes Fancy Studios will take GameFi in the near future.
“It's always a little painful quitting one game, losing all my progress to play a different game,” he admits. “I can only imagine what the landscape will be like once gamers expect to own their digital assets and can have a single character to play all their games. I probably would be playing my RuneScape or Guild Wars character from my childhood for all my games,” he laughs.
Taylor is not new to the world of start-ups. He has been advising at Make Ventures Princeton, the university’s premier student-run incubator. More recently he’s been mentoring blockchain projects, providing insights into GameFi trends, tokenomics, fundraising, and other topics. His background on Wall Street has also helped him become an active investor in web3 projects, usually participating in the pre-seed and seed stages.
“I’ve always had an inclination towards the early-stage culture and the idea of building something new. I believe it’s important to always have a pulse on what’s working now and also what will be working in the future. I believe crypto is the next wave of innovation that will bring a lot of new technology into the mainstream and benefit society,” says Taylor.
As for the cultural shift he’s experienced in his transformation from Wall Street asset manager to GameFi entrepreneur, he says it boils down to different personalities and meeting environments.
“The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that those in crypto tend to be a little more creative and visionary. Fail fast, break things, and build. On Wall Street it was more about maximizing efficiency,” he says. “Additionally, a lot of my meetings now consist of a younger audience wearing t-shirts that are sitting in gaming chairs talking about game designs and whether something looks ‘cool’ or not.”
Although it's likely too early to tell how GameFi will pan out, innovators such as Paul Taylor expect it to be a wild ride.
“I think ‘GameFi’ and ‘gaming’ will become synonymous in the public's mind sooner than we think,” he adds. “As a gamer, you develop an identity when you play a game, as you customize and upgrade your avatar over time. GameFi will allow you to keep or trade that value versus destroying it, and I think future games (as well as the Metaverse) will also require this concept of a persistent interoperable identity in order to be successful. The transition is already well in the works and I am quite optimistic of its future.”

Social Media Examiner - Crypto Business podcast and news update. Excellent. Read our commentary for more insight and intel! All very interesting. For me I believe the real value in this space is in both NFT art (when the art is high quality), and the NFT - Blockchain certifies the art. Wrestling entities WWE, Chris Jericho and MJF (both All Elite Wrestling) have enjoyed solid success in the category. A year ago I tipped off an American based self appointment crypt expert on our associates at leading Aussie bodyart and bodypainting firm, Human Statue Bodyart. The expert was completely silent after virtually hand delivering him a golden and warm lead. Human Statue Bodyart is totally awesome. I went cold on the crypt expert, and they were not a good reflection on the sector. I've since became more cautious on referrals in and around the sector. We have a modest investment in XRP which is holding up. Coinspot was our exchange. We also created Bitcoin News Media and social channels which we will also give this SME - Crypto Business news a plug. Thanks for your ongoing balanced coverage. Media Man out.
