Sept 25 - UK stocks opened lower on Monday, in a grim start to the last week of the quarter, while Ladbrokes owner Entain tumbled to a more than two-and-a-half year low after warning of a decline in online gaming sales.

Entain plummeted 10.4% after saying it expects online net gaming revenue for the third quarter and full year to decline amid ongoing regulatory issues in Britain and slower growth in Australia and Italy."Increased regulatory headwinds in the UK are weighing on its revenues," said Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor.

"It's generally accepted that they're not out of the woods yet, but it was a positive sign from a market's point of view to see an end to that consecutive raising of interest rates, said Christopher Peters, trading floor manager at Accendo Markets. Among other movers, Aviva lost 0.9% after the life insurer said it agreed to acquire the UK protection business of AIG for 460 million pounds .Reporting by Johann M Cherian in Bengaluru; Editing by Sohini Goswami and Dhanya Ann Thoppil
