(AsiaGameHub) - Kerajaan Norway telah melancarkan pelan tindakan komprehensif empat tahun yang bertujuan untuk mencegah dan merawat masalah perjudian. Merangkumi tempoh 2026 hingga 2029, pelan yang dilancarkan pada hari Jumaat itu menekankan, menyusun kempen pencegahan yang terkoordinasi, perkhidmatan rawatan yang dipertingkatkan, dan agenda penyelidikan yang diperluaskan. Tindakan tersebut secara jelas bukan kawal selia. Ia akan menumpukan pada peningkatan maklumat awam, penambahan kapasiti rawatan, dan pembinaan asas bukti dan bukannya mengubah akses perjudian sah, sekatan umur, atau had pertaruhan. Matlamat utama pelan tindakan, menurut kerajaan, adalah untuk meminimumkan bilangan individu yang mengalami masalah berkaitan perjudian. Pihak berkuasa kerajaan menekankan bahawa melindungi individu yang mudah terdedah harus didahulukan berbanding kepentingan komersial. Kanak-kanak dan belia berumur 9 hingga 25 tahun telah dikenal pasti sebagai kumpulan sasaran utama, kerana kajian telah menghubungkan mereka yang berumur 12 hingga 17 tahun khususnya, dengan aktiviti bergaya perjudian seperti menggunakan kotak rampasan (loot boxes) dan kulit (skins) dalam permainan video. Kumpulan lain juga menjadi tumpuan. Atlet, orang dalam tahanan, individu dengan keadaan neuroperkembangan, mereka yang berada di luar pendidikan atau pekerjaan, dan individu dengan isu perjudian terdahulu juga dimasukkan sebagai titik fokus dalam program tersebut. Pencegahan untuk perjudian kanak-kanak Tindakan pencegahan utama dalam program tersebut menumpukan pada jangkauan sekolah dan kelab untuk belia serta kempen digital dan panduan untuk orang dewasa. Pelan tindakan tersebut menggariskan tanggungjawab yang jelas antara agensi utama; Lotteritilsynet (Gambling Authority), Medietilsynet (Media Authority), dan Helsedirektoratet (Directorate of Health). The Norwegian Film Institute dan beberapa organisasi sukarelawan akan bekerjasama dalam jangkauan berkaitan budaya permainan dan perkhidmatan sokongan. Program pendidikan untuk sekolah, kelab belia dan sukan akan digunakan untuk membantu belia memahami elemen bergaya perjudian dalam permainan digital. Ia menyatakan akan mengedarkan bahan pencegahan melalui portal atas talian popular yang ditumpukan kepada belia (cth., ung.no, snakkomspill.no) dan platform media sosial. Ini termasuk kempen bersempadankan untuk mereka yang berumur 16 hingga 25 tahun mengenai risiko dan aspek undang-undang perjudian. Alat dan latihan untuk mengenal pasti tanda amaran awal bahaya perjudian akan diedarkan. Ini adalah untuk ibu bapa, pendidik, jurulatih, profesional penjagaan kesihatan, kakitangan probasi dan penjara, majikan, dan kakitangan bank. Pelan tersebut juga mengutamakan peningkatan perkhidmatan ambang rendah sedia ada. Ini termasuk pengembangan Hjelpelinjen, talian bantuan masalah perjudian Norway, dengan aksesibiliti yang dipertingkatkan termasuk perkhidmatan sembang yang disesuaikan untuk audiens yang lebih muda. Ia juga akan terus menawarkan program rawatan percuma, jauh, biasanya 12-minggu berasaskan telefon yang tidak memerlukan rujukan pengamal perubatan am. Pelan tersebut akan disepadukan dengan dasar belia digital Norway yang lebih luas, termasuk panduan masa skrin terkini dan strategi menangani ketagihan dan pencegahan bunuh diri, mengukuhkan kerangka kerajaan bahawa bahaya perjudian sebagai keutamaan kesihatan awam dan perlindungan pengguna. Fokus sistem penjara Kerajaan menyatakan akan mencari peningkatan koordinasi kebangsaan dengan mengintegrasikan bahaya perjudian lebih ketara dalam kerangka kesihatan awam yang lebih luas. Dialog antara Directorate of Health dan pusat kecekapan serantau (KORUS) dijangka diperketatkan untuk melanjutkan jangkauan ke perkhidmatan perbandaran dan tempatan. Pelan tersebut komited untuk meningkatkan kesedaran lagi di kalangan peranan perkhidmatan awam penting termasuk kakitangan penjara dan penyedia penjagaan kesihatan, untuk membantu mereka membangunkan kepakaran mengenal pasti dan merawat masalah perjudian dalam kalangan banduan, yang sering mengumpul hutang semasa penahanan. Pengumpulan data berterusan akan diteruskan, termasuk tinjauan berkala mengenai penyertaan perjudian dan permainan oleh Lotteritilsynet dan Medietilsynet, bersama pengenalan tinjauan kebangsaan baharu yang ditumpukan khusus kepada masalah perjudian dan permainan. Pelan tersebut seterusnya menggalakkan kolaborasi dengan pengendali perjudian berlesen melalui forum tahunan untuk mengukuhkan tanggungjawab permainan bertanggungjawab. Terutamanya, kerjasama dengan bank dan institusi kewangan akan diperketatkan untuk mengehadkan aliran kewangan kepada penyedia perjudian asing tidak berlesen. Kakitangan bank barisan hadapan boleh menerima latihan untuk mengenal pasti pelanggan yang menunjukkan tanda bahaya berkaitan perjudian. Masalah monopoli Tumpuan baharu pada pencegahan dan kesihatan awam ini datang ketika penelitian yang meningkat terhadap pengendali milik kerajaan Norsk Tipping, yang mengekalkan monopoli ke atas perjudian dalam talian berlesen di Norway. Insiden terkini telah menimbulkan persoalan mengenai ketahanan sistem dan perlindungan keselamatan pemainnya. Ini termasuk ralat teknikal yang menyebabkan pembayaran loteri tidak tepat dan isu berkaitan Eurojackpot yang terpisah yang mendedahkan kelemahan dalam kawalan dalaman, menyebabkan perhatian kawal selia dan penalti kewangan. Tambahan pula, kebimbangan telah timbul mengenai kualiti pembangunan dan operasi, dengan laporan menekankan kekurangan dalam prestasi platform dan pengalaman pengguna Norsk Tipping. Perkembangan ini memperketatkan perdebatan sama ada model monopoli Norway cukup tangguh untuk memenuhi objektif perlindungan pengguna. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

(AsiaGameHub) - The city welcomed 3.03 million visitors, a 2.1 percent increase year-over-year. U.S.—The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has reported that 3.03 million people traveled to Las Vegas in February. This marks a 2.1 percent year-over-year rise but is below January’s total of 3.27 million. Hotel occupancy stood at 81.7 percent, up 1.2 points, and the average daily rate (ADR) was $193.20, a 3.8 percent increase from the prior year. Weekend occupancy reached 89.3 percent, up 2.9 points, while midweek occupancy was 78.1 percent, a 0.4-point gain. Strip occupancy was 85 percent, down 1.5 points. Convention attendance fell by 0.4 percent year-over-year. The out-rotation of the Int’l Builders Show and the Kitchen & Bath Show lowered the figure, but the in-rotation of the AHR Expo and NADA—plus the Western Veterinary Conference shifting from March to February—boosted the number. In 2025, Las Vegas received 38.5 million visitors, a 7.5 percent year-over-year decline. Hotel occupancy was 80.3 percent, down 3.3 points. This article is provided by a third-party.

Keep yourself updated, remain inspired, and keep playing. Enjoy a great weekend! Malta to consider regulation of prediction markets Malta is exploring the establishment of a regulatory structure for prediction markets, which could make it the first European nation to take this step. Economy Minister Silvio Schembri pointed out the sector's worldwide growth and capacity for innovation. He stressed the importance of responsible development, trust among users, openness, and adherence to rules. Platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket have experienced swift global growth, especially in the United States. Nevertheless, regulatory oversight is intensifying, as some nations have implemented prohibition orders. With its renowned igaming sector, Malta seeks to further broaden its economic base through prediction market regulation. This initiative would represent yet another pioneering achievement for the country in Europe. EGBA urges European Commission to tackle fraudulent gambling sites The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has raised alarms about the growing danger posed by fake gambling websites and applications across Europe. These deceptive platforms mimic authorized operators, exposing users to potential identity fraud, monetary damage, and insecure betting conditions. EGBA has presented proof to the European Commission, urging unified European measures to tackle these scams. The association calculates that unauthorized operators seized 27 percent of Europe's online gambling revenue in 2025, totaling approximately €18 billion. Dr. Ekaterina Hartmann, EGBA's Director of Legal and Regulatory Affairs, underscored the necessity for continent-wide intervention to safeguard both consumers and lawful businesses from these deceitful schemes. The Commission's Strategy for Combating Online Fraud is scheduled for approval in Q2 2026. Spain’s Codere reportedly up for sale Codere, Spain's second-biggest gambling company, is apparently on the market with an anticipated valuation of roughly €2 billion. The firm has hired Jefferies and Macquarie Capital to guide the divestiture, with interested parties likely to present bids by mid-May. Codere's equity is distributed among 80 investment funds, concentrating on steady expansion across Latin America and Europe. The enterprise functions in authorized markets throughout Spain, Italy, and Latin America, maintaining robust operations in nations such as Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. Codere Online posted a 6 percent rise in yearly revenue for 2025, with prospective purchasers rumored to be major players like Flutter Entertainment and Allwyn International. This possible transaction follows Cirsa's public offering, indicating evolving dynamics within Spain's gaming sector. New US bill proposes a ban on sports prediction market contracts The Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act is designed to stop CFTC-registered organizations from providing contracts that mirror sports wagers or casino-style games. Sponsored by Senators Adam Schiff and John Curtis, this cross-party legislation proposes to govern prediction markets through the Commodity Exchange Act. The bill's proponents contend that the CFTC has weakened its oversight of these instruments, breaching state statutes and consumer safeguards. The American Gaming Association endorses the measure, highlighting the need to preserve state and tribal authority over gambling regulation. Comparable proposals have emerged in Vermont, New Jersey, and Hawaii to prohibit specific event-based contracts and unmonitored prediction markets. The law intends to shield consumers and curb the spread of risky financial instruments in unsuitable domains. Mika Kuismanen: “The Finnish gambling reform is being carried out at least ten years too late” Mika Kuismanen, head of the Finnish Trade Association for Online Gambling, addresses Finland's transition from a state gambling monopoly to a permit-based system. This change seeks to counteract falling channelization figures and the impact of unauthorized operators. Kuismanen views the overhaul as long overdue, noting that the existing arrangement leads to diminished market control and forfeited tax income. He stresses the urgency of robust oversight to stop illicit operators from capturing market share. The Finnish Trade Association plans to persist in advocating for sector priorities and collaborating with oversight bodies. Gaming companies are demonstrating enthusiasm for the Finnish marketplace, having filed 24 license requests already. Kuismanen expresses measured confidence in the sector's prospects, stressing the value of equitable regulation and governmental consistency. He proposes that standardized European rules could advantage operators by blocking unauthorized activities and minimizing hazards linked to country-specific legislation. Concerns raised over UK gambling levy rollout The UK's Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) has expressed worries regarding initial prevention fund distributions in England from the fresh UK gambling tax. Overseen by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), the financing declaration arrived merely 13 days prior to the start of the new period, creating anxiety among groups. Interested parties have condemned the schedule and framework of the procedure, worrying about service interruptions and possible shutdowns. GLEN cautions that the contestable funding approach might be irresponsible and harm minor nonprofits reliant on gambling damage compensation. The organization points out the effect on at-risk populations and the absence of clarity in state financing choices. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is additionally launching a Gambling Research Initiative, with hiring in progress. The ambiguity encircling financing determinations and reorganization within pertinent public agencies generates apprehensions about upcoming gambling harm reduction initiatives.

(AsiaGameHub) - Pelancaran Kalshi di Brazil telah mencetuskan perdebatan mengenai bagaimana sebenarnya pasaran ramalan sesuai dengan perkembangan pasaran negara dan pengaruh politik yang kuat. Pakar industri telah mempersoalkan sama ada peraturan akan berada di bawah bidang kuasa SPA dalam bidang pasaran kewangan. Ada yang bertanya sama ada keperluan peraturan adalah mendesak atau memerlukan lebih banyak masa untuk dilaksanakan dengan teliti. Pada awal bulan ini, Kalshi mengumumkan pelancaran penawaran pasaran ramalannya di Brazil, berkat perjanjian dengan firma broker Brazil, XP International. Brazil adalah pasaran pertama Kalshi di luar AS, di mana pasaran ramalan telah menyebabkan kontroversi besar, dengan beberapa cabaran undang-undang sedang dijalankan oleh pengawal selia perjudian negeri. Persoalan yang kabur antara perdagangan kewangan dan perjudian telah menyebabkan ketidakpastian dalam sektor pertaruhan taruhan nisbah tetap Brazil yang masih baru, yang sendiri menghadapi tekanan berat daripada ahli politik yang ingin mengetatkan sekatan dan meningkatkan cukai. Secretariat Hadiah dan Taruhan (SPA), pengawal selia perjudian di Brazil, berkata ia sedang "memantau situasi" sebagai tindak balas kepada pelancaran Kalshi. Ia juga menyatakan bahawa tiada syarikat Brazil kini dibenarkan menawarkan pasaran ramalan. Perspektif peraturan yang serpihan Masih belum jelas badan mana yang akhirnya akan mengawasi pasaran ramalan, dengan ramai yang mencadangkan ia mungkin berada di bawah SPA atau Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Brazil (CVM). Walau bagaimanapun, Udo Seckelmann, rakan kongsi dan ketua perjudian & kripto di Bichara e Motta Advogados, berkata peraturan boleh dibahagikan kepada tiga cara bergantung pada jenis kontrak yang diperdagangkan. Ini, menurutnya, boleh memudaratkan pasaran. "Terdapat beberapa kemungkinan hasil daripada teka-teki undang-undang ini," kata Seckelmann kepada iGB. "Adalah mungkin untuk menjangkakan bahawa kontrak bersifat sukan cenderung berada di bawah bidang kuasa SPA, [manakala] yang berkaitan dengan pembolehubah ekonomi dan kewangan [akan berada] dalam skop peraturan CVM. "Kontrak bersifat pilihan raya mungkin dilarang oleh Mahkamah Pilihan Raya Atas (TSE), manakala peristiwa bersifat geopolitik, sosial, budaya atau hiburan akan kekal dalam kawasan kelabu undang-undang, sekurang-kurangnya sehingga penyatuan peraturan selanjutnya," katanya lagi. Peraturan pasaran ramalan adalah kompleks Walaupun terdapat persetujuan luas bahawa peraturan pasaran ramalan akhirnya diperlukan, terdapat kurang persetujuan mengenai masa. Pada pandangan Fellipe Fraga, CBO pengendali Brazil berlesen EstrelaBet, adalah penting bahawa peraturan tidak tergesa-gesa dengan mengorbankan pemahaman sebenar tentang pasaran ramalan. Beliau berharap pembuat dasar pertama-tama akan membina pemahaman sebenar tentang pengendali seperti Kalshi dan bagaimana produk mereka berbeza daripada pertaruhan taruhan nisbah tetap. "Peraturan yang tergesa-gesa atau tidak selaras boleh menyebabkan pertindihan, ketidakkonsistenan, atau bahkan sekatan yang tidak disengajakan," kata Fraga. "Keutamaan sepatutnya diberikan kepada proses yang didasarkan pada maklumat yang baik dan didorong oleh dialog, membolehkan pengawal selia, pengendali dan pakar menyumbang kepada rangka kerja yang berkesan dan proporsional." Institut Perjudian Bertanggungjawab Brazil (IBJR) telah berhujah bahawa pasaran ramalan harus dipatuhi dengan perundangan pertaruhan taruhan nisbah tetap. Walaupun Seckelmann berkata semakin cepat perkara peraturan diselesaikan semakin baik, beliau juga percaya pada pendekatan berhati-hati dan terukur untuk mengelakkan pasaran ramalan dimasukkan secara paksa ke dalam rangka kerja sedia ada. "Adalah lebih baik peraturan diperkenalkan pada peringkat kemudian dengan syarat ia disesuaikan dengan betul dan serasi dengan sifat sosioekonomi pasaran ramalan, daripada menundukkan mereka kepada klasifikasi automatik dan tegar dalam rangka kerja peraturan tradisional yang tidak mencerminkan ciri khusus mereka dengan cukup," jelas beliau. Adakah pasaran ramalan merupakan persaingan langsung kepada pertaruhan? Satu soalan utama bagi industri ialah sama ada pasaran ramalan merupakan persaingan langsung kepada pengendali pertaruhan berlesen. Fraga menjelaskan bahawa pertaruhan taruhan nisbah tetap dan pasaran ramalan adalah "berbeza secara struktur", dengan yang pertama terutamanya melibatkan hubungan antara pengendali dan pelanggan, manakala harga dan kecairan yang kedua didorong oleh pasaran itu sendiri. Walau bagaimanapun, beliau merasakan mungkin terdapat penumpuan yang boleh mengakibatkan "pertindihan persaingan". Fraga sekali lagi menyeru supaya peraturan dipertimbangkan dengan teliti untuk membezakan kedua-dua produk dengan betul. Kecewaan lain bagi pengendali berpusat pada isu cukai, dengan pemegang lesen pertaruhan taruhan nisbah tetap menghadapi beban yang berat, serta bayaran lesen BRL30 juta. Tetapi Fraga percaya perbezaan semula jadi antara pertaruhan dan pasaran ramalan menjadikan perbandingan cukai langsung sukar. "Logik ekonomi adalah berbeza, dan oleh itu rawatan fiskal tidak boleh dipantau dengan mudah," terus Fraga. "Walau bagaimanapun, faktor penting lain mesti dipertimbangkan, terutamanya mengenai perjudian bertanggungjawab, perlindungan pengguna dan integriti pasaran. "Jika terdapat penghijrahan pengguna yang ketara daripada pengendali terkawal kepada struktur alternatif yang tidak tertakluk kepada kewajipan yang sama, ini sememangnya boleh mencipta ketidakseimbangan. Selain itu, persekitaran kurang terkawal sering mempunyai lebih fleksibiliti dalam pemasaran, yang boleh memutarbelitkan persaingan lagi." Walaupun terdapat kontroversi dan ketidakpastian, Fraga mengambil pandangan yang lebih positif bahawa syarikat dengan pertumbuhan pesat seperti Kalshi mengambil langkah pertama luar AS di Brazil. "Apabila produk teknologi atau kewangan baru memasuki Brazil, ia sentiasa isyarat positif," kata Fraga. "Ia mengukuhkan daya tarikan negara dan potensi pasaran kita dalam pelbagai industri."

(AsiaGameHub) - The Copenhagen City Court has determined that an advertisement constituted unlawful marketing. Denmark.- The Danish sportsbook site bwin.dk, owned by Entain, has been fined for violating the country's marketing laws. Following a complaint from Denmark's Consumer Ombudsman against the site's operator, ElectraWorks, the Copenhagen City Court issued a penalty of DKK 500,000 (approximately €65,800). The case focused on a promotion advertising "Risk-Free Gambling". This claim prompted the Ombudsman to involve the police in 2024 after receiving a complaint from a consumer. One Bwin advert promoted "risk-free gambling up to 1,000 DKK". A customer who took up this offer placed a DKK 1,000 bet and lost. He was then given a free bet for the same amount, won his second bet, but only received a payout of DKK 15. The consumer contended that the promotion was deceptive, as he suffered a net financial loss even with the "risk-free" promise. Consumer Ombudsman Torben Jensen emphasized: "If a gambling company promotes itself as offering 'risk-free' gambling, it should be self-evident that consumers face no financial risk when they place a bet. It is therefore crucial to state that marketing a game as 'risk-free' is unquestionably misleading if the consumer can, in fact, lose money." The court found that the promotion was illegal marketing under the Marketing Practices Act, which bans advertisements that are misleading or have the potential to mislead consumers. This verdict arrives as Denmark considers stricter regulations for gambling advertising, such as a ban on ads from whistle to whistle in live sports coverage.

(AsiaGameHub) - Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) telah mengenakan penalti $100,000 ke atas BetMGM setelah menentukan bahawa kawalan kenali-pelanggan (KYC) operator tersebut tidak mencukupi. Ia membenarkan aktiviti penipuan berterusan merentas platform pertaruhan dalam taliannya, kata lembaga itu. Badan kawal selia itu mendedahkan pada Rabu bahawa kelemahan ini telah membolehkan berbilang akaun dicipta menggunakan maklumat peribadi dan kaedah pembayaran yang dicuri atau diperoleh secara penipuan. Siasatan mendapati bahawa pertaruhan melebihi $2 juta dikaitkan dengan empat operasi penipuan berbeza yang menjangkau antara 25 hingga 34 bulan. Satu sindiket penipuan terancang menghasilkan 1,567 akaun penipuan dalam tempoh ini. Yang lain menghasilkan ratusan akaun dan volum pertaruhan yang signifikan. PGCB menekankan bahawa penguatkuasaan berterusan bertujuan untuk mengekalkan amalan perjudian bertanggungjawab dalam sektor terkawal Pennsylvania. Ini berlaku ketika PGCB mengumumkan peningkatan hasil perjudian sebanyak 11.6% tahun-ke-tahun untuk bulan Januari. Jurang pengesahan membolehkan eksploitasi sistematik Penemuan lembaga itu menunjukkan kekurangan sistematik dalam proses pengesahan pelanggan dan pengesahan pembayaran BetMGM. Kecuaian membenarkan akses akaun berulang tanpa semakan identiti yang mencukupi, memudahkan eksploitasi berpanjangan oleh penipu. PGCB mengaitkan kerugian ini kepada kelemahan operasi yang lebih luas dan bukannya kesilapan manusia yang terpencil. Denda terkini ini menambah kepada tindakan disiplin terdahulu yang memberi tumpuan kepada pematuhan peraturan BetMGM. Lebih awal pada 2025, lembaga meluluskan perjanjian persetujuan berasingan yang mendenda BetMGM $260,905 kerana membenarkan individu yang mengecualikan diri untuk membuat pertaruhan dalam talian. PGCB mengesahkan bahawa akaun penipuan yang terjejas telah ditutup dengan segera. Operator itu enggan memberi komen mengenai sekatan terbaharu itu. Tindakan penguatkuasaan termasuk perintah pengecualian baharu PGCB juga mengemas kini senarai pengecualian sukarela. Ia menambah 16 individu yang diharamkan dari kasino Pennsylvania, platform pertaruhan dalam talian, dan lokasi terminal permainan video. Empat kes melibatkan orang dewasa yang meninggalkan kanak-kanak tanpa pengawasan semasa berjudi. Lembaga itu mengulangi kempen "Don’t Gamble with Kids", menekankan bahawa tingkah laku sedemikian mewujudkan persekitaran yang tidak selamat untuk kanak-kanak bawah umur. Mesyuarat awam seterusnya pengawal selia itu dijadualkan pada 29 April di Harrisburg. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

(AsiaGameHub) - The association is requesting a temporary restraining order. US.- The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has initiated legal action against DraftKings in federal court located in Indianapolis. The association stated its intention to seek an urgent temporary restraining order to prevent the company from utilizing the NCAA’s federally registered trademarks, specifically March Madness, Final Four, Elite Eight, and Sweet Sixteen. The NCAA emphasized that sports betting should not be connected to, endorsed by, or linked with NCAA championships or the student-athletes participating in them. Furthermore, it clarified that it has no commercial partnerships with any sports betting operators. The NCAA asserted: “The NCAA makes clear in the complaint and its motion that every day that DraftKings continues to use these marks, millions of sports fans — and, critically, college students and young adults who are particularly susceptible to gambling harm — are exposed to the false suggestion that the Association has authorised or endorsed DraftKings’ gambling platform.” DraftKings’ response DraftKings contends that the terms in question are “the universally recognised names for the tournaments and their rounds, used by millions of college basketball fans, journalists, and participants in the sports-betting ecosystem. They are the same words used by other online sportsbooks, who have not been singled out by the NCAA’s fevered complaint.” The company claimed that the request for a restraining order was “based on a contrived and manufactured ’emergency,'” and pointed out that the NCAA has a commercial agreement with a company that supplies in-game data to sportsbooks. DraftKings further argued that its use of these terms is protected under the First Amendment, asserting that the NCAA’s trademark claim would not succeed on its merits. “No trademark gives any organisation the right to monopolise the language fans, players, journalists, and sportsbooks use every day to accurately refer to college basketball tournaments,” the company stated.

(AsiaGameHub) - Malta might be the first European country to develop a specialized regulatory framework for prediction markets. Malta – Economy Minister Silvio Schembri stated that the government is looking into the potential regulation of prediction markets in Malta. He characterized the sector as having robust global momentum and notable potential for innovation. Per Business Now, Schembri made these remarks at the opening of Blockchain.com’s new Malta offices. Schembri is said to have noted that any legislative adjustments would need to be grounded in a framework aimed at supporting responsible growth on a large scale. He emphasized that user trust was vital, and transparency and compliance were necessary for the industry to thrive. Prediction markets have grown quickly around the world alongside the rise of platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. This model has seen especially rapid growth in the US, where regulated betting is restricted to sports. That said, regulatory oversight has also been increasing. Operators often position prediction markets as financial instruments instead of gambling, claiming this lets them operate without a gambling license. But several US states have pushed back against this, and the British Gambling Commission has made it clear that prediction markets would need a gambling license under UK law. Additionally, there are regulatory worries about how outcome data is collected and verified after multiple disputed events. A number of other countries—France, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal among them—have imposed bans on Polymarket. Malta became a key igaming hub after being the first European Union (EU) member to regulate remote gaming in 2004. The country purposefully developed the industry to diversify its economy away from tourism, and the sector now accounts for 12% of Malta’s GDP. Should Malta choose to develop a specialized regulatory framework for prediction markets, it would mark another European milestone. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - The organization alerts that European consumers face an increasing danger from deceptive gambling websites and applications that pose as authorized operators. Belgium – The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) states it has submitted evidence in response to the European Commission’s recent call for input regarding the upcoming EU Action Plan to Combat Online Fraud. Its submission advocated for unified EU measures to address fraudulent gambling sites and apps that take advantage of the good standing of legal operators. The EGBA noted that its submission was backed by documented proof showing how scammers methodically pretend to be licensed gambling operators to trick consumers throughout Europe. The evidence includes instances of fake websites using domain names that copy or closely mirror legitimate operators, illegal gambling apps available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, phishing schemes imitating licensed brands, and social media ads that direct users to real-money apps located outside the EU which are masked as games. “These forms of fraud put players at risk of identity theft, financial harm, and unsafe gambling conditions where proven protections provided by regulated operators—such as self-exclusion—are absent,” the association stated. “EGBA members report that fraudulent domains and apps across Europe often reappear soon after being taken down, leaving consumers continuously exposed even with constant monitoring, takedown requests, and repeated enforcement steps.” The EGBA projects that illegal operators accounted for 27 percent (approximately €18 billion) of the total gross gaming revenue in Europe’s online gambling market in 2025. It notes that some non-EU offshore operators falsely assert they hold EU country-issued gambling licenses, mislead about their regulatory standing, and often hide gambling products as games. Photo: EGBA Dr Ekaterina Hartmann, Director of Legal and Regulatory Affairs at EGBA, said: “The evidence we’ve collected demonstrates how scammers are methodically taking advantage of the trust consumers have in the licensed gambling sector, endangering European consumers and enabling the illegal online gambling market to expand. “From counterfeit websites and deceptive apps to phishing attacks and social media frauds, these threats resurface just as fast as they are removed. Disjointed national strategies for these fraud types are insufficient—we need coordinated EU-wide action to make sure consumers and legal operators don’t end up waging an uphill fight against fraud.” The European Commission’s Action Plan to Combat Online Fraud is scheduled for adoption in the second quarter of 2026. This initiative aims to reduce online fraud across various economic sectors in the EU via enhanced coordination and cross-border collaboration. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Pada hari Isnin, Biro Penyiasatan Kebangsaan-Wilayah Ibu Negara (NBI-NCR) mengumumkan ia sedang menyiasat dakwaan pencurian tanah luar bandar di Wilayah Bataan kepada sebuah syarikat yang dikaitkan dengan Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOs). Pada 2024, Presiden Filipina Ferdinand Marcos Jr mengharamkan industri perjudian luar pesisir negara itu yang sarat dengan jenayah, dengan menyeru supaya ia keluar menjelang 2025. Lebih setahun kemudian, kesan POGOs terus bergema. Petani tempatan mengatakan kawasan luar bandar itu telah dipindahkan secara haram, tanpa kebenaran daripada Jabatan Reformasi Agraria, kepada sebuah syarikat holding yang dikaitkan dengan Harry Roque. Peguam itu, yang didakwa sebagai peguam bela hak asasi manusia, pernah menjadi jurucakap bagi bekas presiden Rodrigo Duterte. Tahun lepas, pendakwa raya mendakwanya dengan pengedaran manusia layak di sebuah operasi POGO di Pampanga. Tidak lama selepas itu, Roque melarikan diri dari Filipina dan kini dilaporkan menetap di Austria. "Maklumat awal menunjukkan kemungkinan pemalsuan dokumen" dalam pemindahan tanah itu, menurut NBI-NCR. Itu menimbulkan "kebimbangan serius tentang kesahihan dan keundangan" proses tersebut. Biro itu berkata tuduhan perampasan tanah akan disiasat sepenuhnya dan, jika perlu, didakwa. Kebangkitan dan kejatuhan POGOs POGOs mula-mula dihalalkan pada 2016, semasa pentadbiran Duterte. Ia menyumbang hasil yang ketara untuk kerajaan: PHP5.17 bilion (AS$86 juta) pada 2023, dengan anggaran PHP7 bilion untuk 2024. Industri mula berantakan selepas serbuan ke atas beberapa POGOs mendedahkan bukti aktiviti jenayah, termasuk penipuan cinta dalam talian dan crypto serta buruh paksa. "Menyamar sebagai entiti yang sah, operasi telah meneroka ke kawasan haram yang paling jauh dari perjudian," kata Marcos dalam ucapannya mengenai State of the Nation 2024. Presiden menyenaraikan "penipuan kewangan, pengubahan wang haram, pelacuran, pengedaran manusia, penculikan, penyeksaan kejam – malah pembunuhan". Berdasarkan tuduhan itu, beliau mengarahkan supaya semua POGOs, yang sah atau sebaliknya, ditutup menjelang akhir tahun. Pada Oktober itu, apabila industri pada zahirnya semakin berkurangan, polis menyerbu Central One Bataan Inc, sebuah syarikat outsourcing proses perniagaan yang didakwa menjadi depan untuk sebuah POGO. Syarikat itu tidak berdaftar dengan Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp, yang melesenkan industri perjudian domestik. Central One menafikan tuduhan tersebut. POGOs juga dikaitkan dengan perdagangan dadah Dalam berita berkaitan, dalam taklimat media pada hari Selasa, Setiausaha Dalam Negeri Jonvic Remulla berkata warganegara China yang berkaitan dengan POGOs mengetuai kebanyakan sindiket dadah aktif di negara ini. Pada satu sidang media selasa, Setiausaha Dalam Negeri Filipina Jonvic Remulla berkata warganegara China yang berkaitan dengan POGOs membawa kebanyakan sindiket dadah aktif ke negara ini. "POGOs tersebut menjadi wabak kepada Filipina," Remulla memberitahu pemberita dalam satu taklimat media. "Semua yang haram dari 2016 hingga 2025 sehingga kini, kita sedang menanggung kesan POGOs tersebut. Hampir semua sindiket yang kami tangkap di sini diketuai oleh warganegara China menggunakan visa dari POGOs." Pada hari Selasa, Remulla bersama-sama wakil penguatkuasa undang-undang negara di Bandar Trece Martires membakar dadah haram bernilai PHP4.56 bilion. Itu mewakili jumlah yang dirampas semasa kes dadah haram dalam tempoh enam bulan lepas sahaja.

(AsiaGameHub) - Kementerian Transformasi Digital dan Pertahanan Ukraine telah mengumumkan rancangan untuk memperkenalkan mekanisme automatik yang akan menghalang anggota tentera daripada mengakses perkhidmatan perjudian dalam talian. Langkah itu, yang didedahkan melalui halaman Facebook rasmi kementerian minggu ini, bertujuan untuk mengurangkan masalah perjudian dalam kalangan anggota tentera sepanjang tempoh undang-undang tentera yang sedang berkuat kuasa. Sistem baharu ini akan berfungsi dengan merujuk silang percubaan log masuk pada platform perjudian dengan dua pangkalan data utama: senarai individu yang dilarang dan senarai nama anggota tentera. Jika padanan yang menunjukkan status terhalang dikesan, akses kepada perkhidmatan perjudian dalam talian akan disekat secara automatik. Pengendali perjudian hanya akan menerima petunjuk binari “ya/tidak” mengenai sama ada akses dibenarkan, tanpa pendedahan sebarang maklumat peribadi atau berkaitan tentera, menurut pegawai kementerian. Langkah pencegahan terhadap ketagihan perjudian Inisiatif ini merupakan sebahagian daripada usaha bersepadu yang lebih luas untuk menangani ketagihan perjudian. “Kami meneruskan perjuangan bersepadu terhadap ketagihan perjudian. Matlamat kami adalah untuk melindungi anggota tentera dan keluarga mereka daripada risiko dan akibat ketagihan perjudian,” kata pengumuman itu pada hari Selasa. Ia turut menyatakan usaha kerjasama dengan Kementerian Pertahanan untuk menghadkan penyertaan pembela Ukraine dalam aktiviti perjudian semasa undang-undang tentera berkuat kuasa. Mekanisme baharu ini dibina berdasarkan sekatan undang-undang yang diperkenalkan pada awal tahun 2024. Sekatan itu melarang anggota perkhidmatan mengakses kasino dalam talian semasa undang-undang tentera berkuat kuasa dan mengenakan peraturan yang lebih ketat ke atas iklan perjudian. Tindakan penguatkuasaan PlayCity Platform PlayCity, yang ditetapkan sebagai agensi kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab mengawal selia perjudian dan loteri selepas pemindahan fungsi dasar kepada Kementerian Transformasi Digital, akan menguruskan perlaksanaan dan penguatkuasaan sistem sekatan log masuk itu. Penguatkuasaan terhadap aktiviti perjudian haram sudah pun dijalankan di Ukraine. Pada tahun 2024, atas permintaan kementerian, Apple dan Google memadamkan berpuluh-puluh aplikasi kasino tidak dibenarkan dari kedai aplikasi mereka. Tambahan pula, beribu-ribu laman web perjudian haram telah ditutup oleh perkhidmatan kerajaan Ukraine. Inisiatif ini merupakan sebahagian daripada pembaharuan digital menyeluruh yang bertujuan untuk mengawal selia pasaran perjudian bayangan yang besar. Ia bertujuan untuk mengurangkan kemudaratan kepada populasi terdedah, termasuk anggota tentera. Pegawai juga telah menyatakan hasrat masa depan untuk mengetatkan sekatan iklan. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengelakkan penyalahgunaan melalui berbilang akaun, dan mengembangkan langkah teknikal untuk mengekang pengendali haram. PlayCity melaporkan aktiviti penguatkuasaan yang ketara sepanjang tahun lepas dan akan memasukkan sekatan skrin log masuk ini ke dalam tanggungjawab penyeliaan pasaran yang lebih luas.

(AsiaGameHub) - Playtech telah melancarkan semakan operasi bagi perniagaan Sun Bingo label putihnya di UK, kata Ketua Pegawai Kewangan (CFO) Chris McGinnis kepada penganalisis semasa panggilan pendapatan FY2025 pembekal itu pada pagi ini. McGinnis berkata perniagaan itu tidak dijangka untung apabila duti perjudian jauh (remote gaming duty) 40% yang akan datang berkuatkuasa di UK pada April. Bercakap lebih lanjut tentang proses itu, McGinnis berkata dia percaya ada tempat untuk Sun Bingo di Playtech dalam jangka panjang, kerana perniagaan itu mempunyai lebih banyak ciri B2B daripada B2C, walaupun ia menghadap pelanggan. Playtech menggantikan Gamesys sebagai pembekal Sun Bingo pada 2015. Sun Bingo dan operasi B2C lain terjejas oleh keperluan kawal selia yang dipertingkatkan di UK, kata pembekal itu dalam pendapatan Q2’25nya. Perubahan ini menyumbang kepada penurunan 17% dalam hasil dan pengurangan EBITDA diselaraskan, pada masa itu. Hasil B2C untuk Playtech menurun 20% tahun ke tahun pada 2025 kepada €78.5 juta, walaupun ini sebahagian besar disebabkan oleh pemindahan perniagaan Happybet Jerman. Pembekal itu lebih yakin dengan peluang di Brazil dan lebih jauh di LatAm, walaupun menghadapi beberapa halangan di rantau itu pada 2025 disebabkan oleh VAT pada pertaruhan Colombia yang singkat hayat dan peralihan Brazil ke peraturan pada awal 2025. Playtech Yakin dengan Peluang Bank Caixa Brazil Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Mor Weizer sangat optimis tentang kemungkinan bank milik kerajaan Brazil, Caixa Economica Federal, bekerjasama dengan Playtech untuk melancarkan jenama pertaruhannya di Brazil. Ia mendapat tender untuk menyediakan platformnya pada 2025, tetapi pelancaran terancang Caixa ditangguhkan pada November, disebabkan tekanan politik di negara itu. Senator Damaras Alves melancarkan serangan teruk terhadap Caixa pada Oktober, menggambarkan rancangannya sebagai “langkah yang bercanggah, berbahaya dan sangat tidak bertanggungjawab”. Walaupun rancangannya tetap ditangguhkan secara tidak terhingga, mungkin ada harapan untuk cita-cita pertaruhan Caixa apabila Brazil menghadapi pilihan raya umum pada Oktober. Bercakap tentang kontrak itu, Weizer berkata dia tidak mahu tergesa-gesa tetapi tender Caixa boleh menjadi “salah satu peluang paling penting untuk Playtech untuk tahun-tahun akan datang”. Dia berkata: “Ini adalah salah satu bank terbesar di negara dengan 150 juta orang dewasa; ia mempunyai 140 juta pelanggan berdaftar. [Dan] akses ke pasaran dan populariti jenama adalah tiada tandingan.” Weizer percaya produk pertaruhan Caixa mudah menjadi yang menonjol di Brazil. Bercakap lebih lanjut tentang Brazil, eksekutif Playtech berkata pasaran itu akan memerlukan capex lebih lanjut dalam tahun akan datang. Rantau Amerika menunjukkan prestasi yang sangat baik untuk Playtech pada 2025, disebabkan oleh sumbangan kukuh dari AS (hasil meningkat kira-kira 100%) dan perjanjian yang disemak semula dengan Caliente di Mexico. Playtech menjangkakan peningkatan di rantau itu pada 2026 daripada kejohanan Piala Dunia, yang sebahagiannya dihoskan di Mexico, di mana Caliente berpangkalan. Hasil Playtech Menurun 10% pada 2025 Hasil kumpulan pada 2025 menurun 10% berbanding tahun sebelumnya kepada €763.6 juta, manakala EBITDA juga menurun 9% kepada €197 juta. Hasil B2B menurun 9% tahun ke tahun kepada €688.3 juta, manakala EBITDA diselaraskan menurun 36% kepada €141.4 juta. Ini seperti yang dijangkakan, kata Playtech, disebabkan oleh kesan perjanjian baharu Caliente Interactive. Kumpulan itu menjangkakan akan menyerahkan FY26 lebih awal daripada jangkaan konsensus semasa, walaupun terdapat halangan cukai di beberapa pasaran.

(AsiaGameHub) - The organization conducted its inaugural live panel discussion named Stop Losing Talent: 7 Smart Steps for Hiring in 2026. Press release.- SOFTSWISS held its debut Live Panel event, called Stop Losing Talent: 7 Smart Steps for Hiring in 2026, together with Pentasia. The discussion revealed how obsolete recruitment methods cause organizations to lose premier talent and presented a actionable seven-step approach to tackle this issue. Open conversation about recruitment difficulties SOFTSWISS introduced its Live Panel series on LinkedIn to create a forum for transparent industry dialogue. The inaugural session centered on findings from its 2026 iGaming Talent Trends study, created in collaboration with Pentasia, a prominent igaming recruitment advisory firm. The conversation gathered perspectives from throughout the sector, with the speaker lineup featuring top-level executives: Natalia Perkowska, deputy chief HR officer at SOFTSWISS. Sergey Kastukevich, deputy chief technology officer at SOFTSWISS. Andrew Cook, head of Conexus leadership at The Conexus Group. Alastair Cleland, managing director at Pentasia. Recruitment challenges in 2026: the gap between employer and candidate perspectives Throughout the session, specialists analyzed where the recruitment process is breaking down for both parties. From the employer perspective, pressures are mounting from three areas: Rivalry for experienced professionals is heating up throughout the industry. Prolonged internal approval processes are extending recruitment timelines. Locating applicants who possess both technical skills and regulatory knowledge continues to be an ongoing difficulty. Meanwhile, job seekers face ambiguous position descriptions, minimal communication, and scarce information about their application status, which diminishes their interest from the beginning and influences future loyalty. Natalia Perkowska, deputy chief HR officer at SOFTSWISS, stated: “The disconnect between employer expectations and candidate experience is not a single issue – it is a system-level problem. Gaps at each stage of the hiring process accumulate and shape how candidates perceive the company. When these gaps are not addressed, they directly impact both hiring outcomes and long-term retention, making it harder for businesses to compete for high-quality talent.” The perfect seven-stage framework The discussion traced the complete recruitment path and identified where organizations are forfeiting talent, developing a functional seven-step methodology for 2026. Step 1. Pre-Hiring: Identify the challenge, not just the position Step 2. Sourcing: Consider worldwide options, not just nearby Step 3. Screening: Evaluate for situational fit, not merely abilities Step 4. Decision and Offer: Quickness demonstrates sophistication Step 5. Onboarding: Positive beginnings yield powerful results Step 6. Retention: Continuous learning keeps employees engaged Step 7. Post-Employee Experience: Brand perception continues after departure Alastair Cleland, managing director at Pentasia, noted: “Talent loss does not happen at a single point – it occurs across the entire hiring system. From role definition to onboarding and retention, gaps accumulate and directly impact outcomes. The level of discussion we saw, including a nearly two-hour session, reflects how deeply hiring now affects business outcomes in 2026.” The complete discussion can be accessed on LinkedIn, offering an in-depth review of the seven-step methodology, including recommended practices and pitfalls at each phase as examined by sector specialists.

(AsiaGameHub) - Dengan kumpulan permainan Sepanyol Codere dikatakan sedang dijual, pakar M&A Christian Tirabassi menjangkakan beberapa syarikat perjudian besar mungkin dalam pertandingan untuk mengambil alih, walaupun ekuiti swasta adalah pembeli yang paling berkemungkinan. Menurut laporan dari akhbar Sepanyol Expansión, Codere telah diletakkan untuk dijual dengan penilaian lebih daripada €2 bilion ($2.3 bilion). Perjanjian pembelian dikatakan menjadi sasaran sebelum cuti musim panas pada bulan Ogos. Urutan itu juga dikatakan termasuk perniagaan dalam talian Codere Online, yang terutamanya aktif di Sepanyol dan LatAm. Tirabassi, pengasas dan rakan kanan di firma penasihat M&A Ficom Leisure, menilai penjualan Codere sebagai "sangat banyak permainan ekuiti swasta". Walau bagaimanapun, beliau juga mencadangkan beberapa gergasi perjudian antarabangsa mungkin dalam pertandingan untuk Codere, walaupun beliau tidak melihat "pembeli semula jadi" di luar sana. "Lottomatica akan melihatnya, DraftKings akan melihatnya, Entain akan melihatnya," kata Tirabassi kepada iGB. "Ini adalah sesuatu untuk orang besar, kerana ia memberikan akses kepada beberapa pasaran." Komen Tirabassi menggema Ed Birkin, pengarah pengurusan H2 Gambling Capital, yang memberitahu iGB pada hari Rabu bahawa beliau melihat pembeli yang paling berkemungkinan sebagai Allwyn International atau Flutter Entertainment, dengan ekuiti swasta sebagai pilihan lain yang mungkin. Adakah penilaian €2 bilion terlalu tinggi untuk Codere? Birkin berkata penilaian €2 bilion yang dicadangkan untuk Codere mungkin bermakna ia di luar jangkauan untuk majoriti pengendali di luar golongan elit. Tirabassi juga percaya jumlah itu terlalu tinggi, walaupun beliau mencadangkan harga yang bocor itu adalah taktik yang disengajakan. "Lihat, ini adalah PR," sambung Tirabassi. "Mereka jelas bocor maklumat untuk mula meletakkan harga di pasaran. Saya tidak percayanya. "Untuk memberi anda gambaran, kami mempunyai pemahaman yang jelas tentang setiap pasaran yang mereka aktif, apa yang mereka hasilkan dalam pasaran itu, dan apa perbelanjaan modal mereka. Tidak ada cara anda boleh sampai kepada penilaian yang disebutkan." Codere sangat memerlukan pelaburan Codere dimiliki oleh kira-kira 84 dana pelaburan, dan Tirabassi berkata proses penjualan ini jelas merupakan kes di mana pemilik berada dalam kedudukan yang mereka tidak ramalkan. "Jelasnya, pemegang bon atau pemegang hutang mendapati diri mereka dalam kedudukan untuk menjadi pemilik Codere tanpa benar-benar mahu menjadi," jelas Tirabassi. "Mereka tidak benar-benar menjangka menjadi pemegang saham syarikat ini. "Jadi, mungkin mereka telah mencuba sedikit untuk melihat apa yang boleh mereka lakukan dengannya. Mereka sedar ia tidak untuk mereka, dan mereka meletakkannya untuk dijual. Ia semudah ini." Ketidakpedulian ini telah menyebabkan kekurangan pelaburan yang teruk dalam Codere, meninggalkan apa yang Tirabassi gambarkan sebagai perniagaan "lesu". Tirabassai berkata Codere kini seperti "bot tanpa arah atau sesiapa yang benar-benar memandunya. "Ia sedang kurang pelaburan, kurang permodalan dan kini mereka menderita kerana persaingan yang mereka hadapi dalam setiap pasaran," kata Tirabassi. "Terdapat keperluan untuk seseorang yang mempunyai pelan industri yang sangat jelas untuk melancarkan semula perniagaan. "Mereka benar-benar memerlukan banyak perhatian, modal, dan pelan. Di mana sahaja anda lihat, ia seperti tidak ada sesiapa yang memasukkan wang ke dalam ini. Ia seperti semuanya dibekukan lima tahun lalu." Masih ada nilai untuk dicipta dalam Codere Walaupun Codere berjuang, Tirabassi masih merasakan terdapat peluang untuk mencipta nilai dalam perniagaan, dengan syarat pelaburan yang signifikan dilakukan. Ini bermakna ia boleh menarik minat pengendali perjudian, dengan pengambilalihan seperti itu masuk akal walaupun "pening kepala". "Terdapat banyak nilai untuk dicipta pada masa hadapan, tidak syak lagi," kata Tirabassi. "Mereka berada dalam semua segmen selain loteri, dan secara teorinya mereka berada dalam digital dengan satu jenama. "Jadi, ini boleh menarik bagi sesiapa yang mahu kedudukan yang kukuh dalam pasaran berpusatkan Sepanyol, tetapi juga perniagaan Itali agak sihat, walaupun ia adalah persekitaran yang kompetitif." Walaupun sebahagian besar sektor perjudian semakin beralih ke arah digital, Tirabassi berkata masih terdapat selera yang sebenar untuk perniagaan yang terutamanya berasaskan daratan. "Pertama sekali, berasaskan daratan menjana wang," sambungnya. "Itu jelas. Ya, ia perlu dirasionalisasikan. Ya, rantaian kawalan perlu disepadukan. Tetapi ia adalah perniagaan yang menguntungkan. "Kedua, jika anda menggunakan digital dengan betul bersama berasaskan daratan, ia dalam cadangan yang sangat, sangat kukuh. Ia berfungsi dengan sangat baik. Ia juga melindungi anda daripada sekatan pengiklanan tambahan. Apabila anda mempunyai berasaskan daratan, jelasnya anda kurang bimbang tentang sebarang sekatan pada pengiklanan, yang pada saya akan terus berlaku dalam beberapa pasaran." Adakah Codere Online akan dimasukkan dalam penjualan? Tetapi Tirabassi juga berkata bahawa cadangan omnichannel perlu mengekalkan pelbagai sinergi untuk kekal menguntungkan, sesuatu yang beliau percaya Codere sangat kurang. Sebahagian besar reaksi terhadap berita Codere yang sedang dijual adalah sebagai tindak balas kepada laporan bahawa Codere Online akan terlibat dalam urusan itu. Codere Online dipisahkan pada tahun 2021 dan disenaraikan secara awam di pasaran saham Nasdaq AS, walaupun Kumpulan Codere mengekalkan pemilikan majoriti. Tirabassi percaya Codere Online mesti menjadi sebahagian daripada sebarang urusan, dengan berkata: "Hari ini, Codere pada asasnya adalah dua syarikat yang berbeza, dua P&L yang berbeza. Mereka bekerjasama sebagai perjanjian komersial, tetapi ia tidak berfungsi. "Idea bahawa mereka mengukir digital itu, pada pandangan saya, sangat pelik, jika tidak dikatakan lebih buruk, dari awal. "Jelasnya bagi saya, ia perlu menjadi sebahagian daripada pakej. Dan saya pasti ia dalam kepentingan penjual untuk mengatakan bahawa terdapat komponen digital untuk meningkatkan gandaan, walaupun saya tidak tahu berapa ramai orang yang akan membelinya. Itu sekurang-kurangnya apa yang akan saya lakukan jika saya menjadi penjual."

(AsiaGameHub) - Menteri Ekonomi Malta Silvio Schembri minggu ini berkata negara itu "secara aktif meneroka bidang pasaran ramalan yang baru muncul, sebuah kawasan yang mengalami momentum global yang pesat yang menawarkan peluang inovasi yang signifikan". Beliau menjelaskan sebarang perubahan kepada perundangan perlu "disokong oleh kerangka perundangan yang jelas dan ke hadapan yang membolehkannya berkembang secara bertanggungjawab dan dalam skala besar". Menteri Schembri menekankan kepentingan kritikal kepercayaan pengguna. "Kami sedari awal-awal lagi bahawa pengguna perlu berasa selamat jika industri ini ingin berkembang, yang bermaksud ia perlu mengekalkan standard ketelusan dan pematuhan yang tertinggi." Komennya dibuat pada pelancaran pejabat-pejabat Malta baharu Blockchain.com pada hari Rabu, seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Business Now. Kedudukan strategik dalam pasaran yang berkembang pesat Sektor pasaran ramalan global telah menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang ketara dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini. Disember 2025 menyaksikan dagangan bulanan rekod dengan jumlah melebihi $18 bilion. Platform seperti Kalshi dan Polymarket menjadi pemacu utama kepada pengembangan ini. Pasaran ramalan berfungsi seperti bursa kewangan untuk peristiwa dunia nyata. Peserta membeli dan menjual kontrak yang dikaitkan dengan hasil tertentu. Cabaran bagi pengawal selia ialah platform pasaran ramalan tidak sesuai dalam kerangka pematuhan perjudian yang sedia ada, dan pengendali sebahagian besarnya berhujah bahawa produk mereka perlu dikawal selia sebagai perdagangan kontrak kewangan. Perolehan data asas yang digunakan untuk menyelesaikan kontrak, dan mekanisme untuk mengesahkan hasil, kini menjadi kawasan tumpuan baru bagi pengawal selia. Di kebanyakan negara Eropah, pendirian rasmi terhadap pasaran ramalan ialah ia dianggap sama ada sebagai perjudian haram atau instrumen kewangan tanpa lesen, memandangkan tiada kerangka pengawalseliaan yang wujud lagi. Banyak bidang kuasa Eropah telah mengambil langkah untuk menyekat akses kepada Polymarket, termasuk Jerman, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, Romania, Netherlands dan Poland. Pasaran-pasaran ini telah berhujah bahawa platform tersebut menawarkan perkhidmatan perjudian tanpa lesen. Malta boleh menjadi pasaran Eropah pertama yang menghasilkan kerangka khusus untuk pasaran ramalan. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.
