HKTDC’s response to Hong Kong’s export figures for March ACN Newswire

HKTDC’s response to Hong Kong’s export figures for March

28 4 月, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Census and Statistics Department today released the latest external merchandise trade statistics. In March 2026, the total value of Hong Kong’s merchandise exports recorded a year-on-year increase of 35.8% to HK$618.4 billion. For the first quarter of 2026, the total value of exports of goods amounted to HK$1,546.2 billion, representing a robust growth of 32.0% compared with the same period last year.Commenting on the outlook, Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said Hong Kong’s exports are expected to remain steady at least in the near term, despite elevated energy prices arising from ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He noted Hong Kong’s external trade has continued to exhibit clear growth momentum, underpinned primarily by sustained global demand for electronic items and other intermediate goods that are integral to regional and global supply chains.In particular, resilient input demand from the Chinese Mainland and other ASEAN production sites, together with stable demand from major overseas markets, has provided a solid buffer against external headwinds. While geopolitical uncertainties persist and energy prices are likely to remain relatively high, continued industrial activity in major markets, as well as ongoing supply-chain realignments, are expected to lend ongoing support to Hong Kong’s trade flows.“Overall, we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook for Hong Kong’s trade performance, while remaining mindful of potential volatility arising from geopolitical developments and cost pressures,” Pang added.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

Joaquim Agut: CIRSA’s Share Price Fails to Reflect the PLC’s True Value iGame

Joaquim Agut: CIRSA’s Share Price Fails to Reflect the PLC’s True Value

28 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - “CIRSA is significantly undervalued,” Chairman Joaquim Agut told investors of the historic Spanish gambling group. This message was conveyed at the first shareholders' meeting of Grupo CIRSA, which finalized its first accounts on the Spanish stock exchange in 2025, following its long-awaited IPO in July. During the meeting, Agut announced a special dividend of €75 million for investors, amounting to €0.45 per share, representing approximately 35% of the €118 million in adjusted net profit recorded in the FY2025 accounts. 2025 was a landmark year for CIRSA, which solidified its status as Spain's largest gambling company by reporting corporate income of €2.3 billion and record EBITDA of €736 million, a 7% rise compared to the previous year. CIRSA victim of wider anxieties This peak financial performance occurred against the backdrop of a transformative IPO for Spanish gambling, as CIRSA debuted on the Spanish stock exchange at €15 per share, achieving a valuation of €2.5 billion and entering the IBEX Top 50. However, despite these achievements, the CIRSA share price has remained stagnant in the €13-to-€14 range, a situation Agut believes severely undervalues the company's prospects. Agut, who has served as Executive Chairman of CIRSA since Blackstone's private equity acquisition in 2018, believes the current undervaluation reflects broader investor concerns regarding the gambling sector rather than CIRSA's underlying performance. As a listed gambling company, Agut noted that CIRSA has been exposed to persistent sector anxieties, emphasizing that “the company's stock market performance does not reflect its operational reality” – a situation driven not by internal factors, but by the wider dynamics shaping global gambling markets. He specifically pointed to “the emergence of predictive betting models in the United States and increased gambling taxes in the United Kingdom,” developments he said have triggered widespread declines across listed gambling stocks since the start of 2026. Proven player with undervalued strategy Despite these pressures, Agut has maintained that CIRSA has consistently outperformed both market conditions and listed peers, sustaining a clear growth trajectory since 2018. He added that he remains confident that investors will ultimately recognize the group's intrinsic value. “The IPO allowed the company to reduce its financial burden while maintaining a high level of investment to support growth, alongside lower debt and the continuation of a strong shareholder return policy,” Agut continued. Consequently, CIRSA has fulfilled its strategic pledge to become the highest-valued Spanish gambling group, underpinned by a disciplined, value-led M&A strategy that continues to shape its expansion profile. Growth has been driven by targeted acquisitions across core and emerging markets, with 17 deals completed in 2025 and early 2026, including four new casino assets in Peru, Casino Marrakech, and Spanish gaming machines distributor Comatel. Under Agut's tenure, CIRSA has executed over 150 acquisitions, with management maintaining that each has been earnings accretive while strengthening the group's footprint across Latin America, Africa, and Southern Europe. This strategy has positioned CIRSA as one of the most geographically diversified operators among European-listed gambling firms. These transactions reflect a clear focus on scalable assets capable of delivering immediate earnings contribution “We have built a model where growth is both disciplined and repeatable,” Agut stated. “Our M&A strategy is focused on assets that complement our operational strengths and deliver sustainable value over the long term.” All eyes on Blackstone Currently, Blackstone holds 74% of CIRSA's share capital, while institutional investors account for 21%, and retail investors make up the remaining 5%. In Spain, analysts continue to scrutinize how Blackstone will ultimately divest its majority stake. Addressing the recent sale of a 4% holding, Agut reiterated that such a move had already been outlined in the IPO prospectus, “so it should not surprise the market.” Attention will now turn to Blackstone's next steps and its positioning within global gambling equities – an asset class facing renewed pressure from macroeconomic headwinds, including rising energy costs and inflation, which are certain to have deep impacts in Spain and Latin America. Despite these external challenges, Agut remains confident that CIRSA can sustain its growth trajectory and outperform both domestic competitors and listed global peers The investment case is further supported by analyst sentiment, as “14 banks covering the stock maintain “buy” recommendations and set an average target price of €20.6 per share – almost 50% above current trading levels.. Agut concluded that “Cirsa has improved its financial profile with lower debt, reduced financing costs, and greater flexibility, while gaining institutional visibility at a time when the listed gambling sector has faced external turbulence”.

Kincora Commences Drilling at the Historic Condobolin Mining Field ACN Newswire

Kincora Commences Drilling at the Historic Condobolin Mining Field

28 4 月, 2026
First phase drilling program underway at the 100% owned Condobolin epithermal gold, silver-base metals project located in the Cobar BasinCapital efficient sole funded drilling program of up to eight diamond core holes First systematic drilling in over a decade at the historic Condobolin Mineral Field Testing down dip, on strike, new adjacent coincident geochemical and geophysical targets at the high-grade Meritilga discovery Fully funded follow-up drilling proposed at Meritilga, with additional targets including other open prior discoveries and larger causative porphyry centers also under considerationRecent corporate activity highlights the value on high-grade projects in the Cobar BasinDrilling is ongoing in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti at the highly prospective Nevertire South porphyry project in the Macquarie ArcVancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 28, 2026) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce drilling has commenced at the Condobolin project, located in the southern end of the Cobar Basin in Central West NSW.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented,"We are very excited to be drilling at two highly prospective projects, including the first systematic drilling program in over a decade at our wholly owned Condobolin project. Our recent efforts have included consolidating the historic Condobolin mining field, an extensive airborne geophysical survey, a regional assessment of shallow historical workings, open prior explorer discoveries and potential causative porphyry targets.While water and the weathering profile previously impeded mining and exploration efforts those historic obstacles now support a compelling opportunity. The last phase of drilling delivered proof-of-concept with strong results and straightforward exploration upside at multiple historical mines and new discoveries, including a blind high-grade gold discovery at Meritilga. Cobar style deposits are often vertically extensive with repeating mineral systems. Our commenced program will, for the first time, properly test that potential at Mertiliga and advance our geological concept of a deeper intrusion(s) driving zoned hydrothermal systems across multiple historical mines and targets - offering both attractive grade and scale opportunity.Recent M&A in the Cobar district highlights the strategic value of high-grade precious and critical mineral deposits, particularly where synergies can be unlocked from existing processing capacity. The Condobolin project is an asset where a junior explorer like Kincora can add significant value." Figure 1: Kincora is currently sole-funding drilling at the Condobolin Mining Field while AngloGold Ashanti funds drilling (with Kincora receiving a management fee) at the Nevertire South license which is part of two earn-ins within the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt projectThe southern Cobar Basin remains relatively under-explored, with several recent discoveries in historic mining districtsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/294502_kincora_0427.jpgDistrict, regional and adjacent property information disclosed is provided for general awareness and educational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of any other project of the Company it is being compared to.ABOUT THE COBAR DISTRICTThe Cobar Basin has a 150-year history of high-grade, long-life mining and is an important supplier of critical and precious metals. The region benefits from established infrastructure and favourable ESG considerations with significant scope for processing and mining efficiencies, supporting further potential regional consolidation.The district has recently seen several significant new discoveries utilising modern exploration techniques in lesser explored regions (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and emerging corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover for MAC Copper (MAC.ASX), Aeris Resources A$214m acquisition of Peel Mining and Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its PNG Misima project).ABOUT THE CONDOBOLIN PROJECTThe Condobolin project was historically the focus of up to 25 informal open pit operations (peak late 1800's-early 1900's), with mining impacted by the water table and exploration by the weathering profile. The mineral field has not been effectively explored below the weathered zone (~30m).Very limited modern exploration has taken with initial activities by Clancy Exploration (Clancy, now RareX Limited) yielding encouraging results at all five prospects drilled (2011-13), including a virgin high-grade gold discovery at the Meritilga Prospect.More recently within the immediate district, Kingston Resources has significantly expanded the resources and restarted hard rock mining at the Mineral Hill mine, Talisman Mining has had success at its Rip N Tear and Durnings targets (to both the immediate north and south of Mineral Hill), while Australian Gold and Copper has excited the market with its new district scale discovery at its Achilles target located within the south western extension of the Cobar Basin.The Condobolin project is located approximately 40km south from the mill at Mineral Hill and north of the Condobolin town (which is the primary source of employees to Mineral Hill operation who drive through the Condobolin project to work) - see Figure 1.Kincora has consolidated a 100% project ownership and continued to expand our foothold across the near surface potential of the historical Condobolin Mineral Field. Approximately 20% of the wider project is out-sub cropping with the average depth of cover in non-outcropping areas less than 5 metres supporting very easy exploration with surface geology and sampling being an effective, quick and cheap methods.In 4Q'2025, the Company completed a ~150km2 airborne electro-magnetic (AEM) geophysical survey and the first systematic drilling program in over a decade commenced at the Meritilga target.Meritilga was a new blind shallow discovery made by Clancy in 2012 following up a coincident 2km x 2km arsenic-lead-zinc (+gold) geochemical anomaly and K-channel radiometric anomaly over ridges east of the historic mines at Mascotte and west of Potters. The anomalies coincided with key NE-striking structures identified in detailed 3D induced polarization (IP) surveys 1.The gold, silver and base metals system is situated within a lode with high grade lens (ore grade, eg 4m @ 20g/t gold, 30.2 g/t silver from 75m, including 1m @ 62g/t gold, 60g/t silver in hole CORC029) and a lower grade halo. The lode is a consistent body, open up and down dip 1, 2.Land access agreements are in place and the permitting process commenced for an up to 15 diamond drill hole program for 4100 metres testing down dip (up to 350m depth) and strike extensions and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses. Permits and land access are in place for a first phase program of up to eight holes.This setting is supported by the last phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling by Clancy, the one diamond hole drilled by Kincora in 2023, coupled with a favourable structural setting where the main Meritilga Fault has been cross-cut by N-S trending faults 3.The program will also test new adjacent coincident geochemical and geophysical targets.The current working geological model, underpinned by pathfinder zonation and coincident geophysical anomalies, supports the potential for a larger mineralised intrusive source at depth, which this drilling program seeks to also support.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Lachlan Fold Belt and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar basin in NSW.The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects. These initial deals have supported over 18,000 metres of drilling and over A$9m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and exploration ramping up.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused capital efficient programs at the Condobolin and other sole funded projects, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.The Company's website is: www.kincoracopper.comThis announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive OfficerLaurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorsam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345laurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826 Media contactJulia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338Executive office Subsidiary office Australia400 - 837 West Hastings StreetC/- JM Corporate ServicesVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, CanadaLevel 6, 350 Collins StreetTel: 1.604.283.1722Melbourne, VIC, Australia 3000 References:1 ASX release of Clancy Exploration Limited (now RareX Limited), titled "New Gold-Silver-Copper Discovery at Meritilga Prospect - Condobolin Project" dated March 20th, 2012, which can be obtained via the ASX website (www.asx.com.au).

Cambodia intensifies casino crackdown following China’s call for action iGame

Cambodia intensifies casino crackdown following China’s call for action

28 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Cambodian authorities have closed 91 casinos alleged to be facilitating online fraud networks, shortly after China called for stricter measures against cross-border gambling. As reported by the Xinhua News Agency, Phnom Penh has additionally conducted raids on 250 online scam centers over the last nine months and expelled more than 13,000 foreigners connected to these operations. During a visit to the Cambodian Prime Minister last Wednesday (22 April), Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pressed the leader and his administration to enhance their crackdown on cross-border gambling and online fraud, framing them as public safety concerns. The Cambodian government has consistently pledged to tackle scam compounds operating within its borders, a commitment strengthened by the enactment of its inaugural cybercrime law aimed at prosecuting online scam offenders. The specific casinos affected by the closures are not yet public, but shutting down 91 venues is a component of a broader Cambodian government initiative to combat unlawful gambling. This effort has gained urgency after recent findings connected numerous nationwide casinos to serious abuses associated with scam compounds. Nevertheless, ongoing allegations about scam centers in Cambodia indicate that Phnom Penh faces a protracted struggle as it devises new strategies to curb illegal gambling. Measures by Cambodian authorities aim to alter the course and disrupt the growth of scam centers, which expanded rapidly after the ban on online gambling licenses in 2019. The presence of many operators has persisted since then, and the spread of these scam centers has become a detrimental burden on the national economy. Despite government initiatives, Cambodia continues to be an attractive location due to gaps in its regulatory system and its geographical closeness to Mainland China and Vietnam. While government intervention is crucial, enforcement efforts are largely reactive, attempting to close a gap after allowing these centers a multi-year head start. Yi's trip is part of a larger Chinese campaign to rally Southeast Asian nations for regional collaboration against transnational cybercrime. His regional tour also included meetings with high-level officials from Myanmar and Thailand. Per Xinhua, Myanmar's Foreign Minister U Tin Maung stressed his nation's dedication to escalating its fight against online gambling and telecommunications fraud. He added that Myanmar would "never allow any activities that harm China’s interests" on its soil. A major driver behind China's push to prevent Cambodia and other Southeast Asian nations from becoming hubs for gambling and casino-related crime is the growing evidence that Chinese citizens are frequently leading these criminal ventures in the region. The recent cooperation between China and Cambodia in apprehending and extraditing Chen Zhi underscores a distinct strategic partnership between the two countries. Additionally, China's drive to maintain certain standards in Southeast Asia's gambling scene helps secure Macau's continued prosperity as the region's premier gambling destination. Last year, President Xi notably intervened in the development of Thailand's ultimately failed land-based casino bill, cautioning about the potential for regulated gambling to increase local crime—an action widely interpreted as safeguarding Macau's status.

Cost-saving initiatives move The Star closer to achieving positive EBITDA iGame

Cost-saving initiatives move The Star closer to achieving positive EBITDA

28 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The Star Entertainment Group has begun to realize the benefits of its cost-reduction strategies, as its EBITDA showed a marked improvement during the third quarter compared to the same timeframe last year, despite remaining in negative territory. Among the cost-cutting steps taken by the Australian casino firm is a refinancing deal with WhiteHawk Capital Partners. This follows binding long-term agreements with Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited and Far East Consortium International Limited concerning the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane and Gold Coast properties. Organizational streamlining occurred at the group’s headquarters, which are now under fresh management following the finalization of a A$300m strategic investment from Bally’s Corporation and Investment Holdings late last year. In its report, The Star stated: “Additional measures, such as those targeting administrative roles at each site and prospects for lowering indirect costs and vendor outlays, are still being investigated to bolster The Star's long-term financial health and further solidify the group’s fiscal standing.” The Star sees EBITDA growth For the third quarter ending March 31, 2026, The Star posted revenue of AUS$266m (roughly €163.2m), representing a 12% decline from the second quarter ($301m) and a 1% drop year-over-year (Q3 2025: $268m). Nevertheless, EBITDA rose by 96% year-over-year to a $1m loss (compared to a $24m loss in Q3 FY25) before accounting for significant items. As of March 31, 2026, available cash was $90m. The Star attributed the Q3 performance to a "seasonal dip in revenue and lower gaming traffic in Sydney." While EBITDA improved, the operator reiterated that its "status as a going concern continues to hinge on the resolution of several significant uncertainties," many of which are linked and beyond its influence. Image: Max Stoliar/Shutterstock Performance by location: The Star Sydney: Revenue – $147m, EBITDA – $4m loss. The Star Gold Coast: Revenue – $101m, EBITDA – $8m. The Star Brisbane: Revenue – $15m, EBITDA – $4m loss. Treasury Brisbane: Revenue – $3m, EBITDA – $1m loss. Last month, the New South Wales Independent Casino Commission (NICC) once again pushed back the license suspension for The Star Sydney, with Nicolas Weeks set to continue as the facility's manager until September 30, 2026, unless his tenure is ended sooner. NICC Chief Commissioner Philip Crawford remarked at the time: “The current ownership is implementing major operational changes, which the NICC is tracking closely. “This involves efforts to ensure the business is more financially viable over the long term, helping them prove their suitability. We will persist in collaborating with The Star on their remediation goals so the casino can address the grave issues identified in the two Bell inquiries.” This article is provided by a third-party.

B3 Introduces Regulated Event Contracts Following Brazil’s Ban on Prediction Markets iGame

B3 Introduces Regulated Event Contracts Following Brazil’s Ban on Prediction Markets

28 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Brazil has established a clear distinction for prediction-style trading, creating two separate categories. Contracts based on financial events are permitted to continue, whereas those linked to sports, politics, games, culture, entertainment, or social results are now excluded from the authorized derivatives market. Good to Know B3 has introduced six Event Contracts connected to the Ibovespa index, the Brazilian real, and bitcoin. Every contract has a maximum value of 100 Brazilian reais, approximately $19, and is settled exclusively in cash. Access remains restricted to professional investors possessing at least 10 million reais in assets or a technical certification from the CVM. B3 Lands On The Approved Side Of Brazil Rules B3 has rolled out six Event Contracts in Brazil, offering professional traders a regulated avenue for speculating on short-term results associated with financial markets. These contracts monitor spot and mini futures trading for the Ibovespa index, the Brazilian real, and bitcoin. The structure is comparable. Prediction market operators Kalshi and Polymarket employ a similar mechanism, but B3 has developed its offering within Brazil's regulated securities environment. The contracts received approval from the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), and access is limited to accredited professional investors. The timing of the launch is significant. On April 24, the Conselho Monetário Nacional (CMN) issued Resolution CMN nº 5,298, which prohibits derivatives tied to actual sports events, online games, politics, elections, social issues, cultural happenings, and entertainment. Derivatives based on financial and economic indicators are still allowed. This regulation becomes effective on May 4, with the CVM responsible for enforcement and further regulatory details.Authorities have also taken action against offshore platforms. Finance Minister Dario Durigan and Civil House Minister Miriam Belchior stated that ANATEL has already restricted 28 unlicensed prediction market platforms. Régis Dudena, head of the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets, indicated that additional blocks would be implemented against platforms operating outside the legal framework. Licensed betting operators in Brazil have endorsed the new rule. The Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável commented that the action helps curb "regulatory arbitrage" by foreign platforms attempting to function as financial products rather than licensed gambling entities. B3 is already a central player in the Brazilian financial market. Formed in 2017 by the merger of BM&FBovespa and Cetip, the exchange operates the largest financial market infrastructure in Latin America. It also introduced Bitcoin futures in April 2024, in addition to its existing products for equities, currencies, commodities, and interest rates. According to Luiz Masagão, Executive Vice President of Products and Clients at B3, these contracts are part of a broader strategy to modernize Brazil's derivatives market. B3 has also explored products related to central bank decisions in other nations.The exchange has further ambitions in the digital asset space. A Bloomberg report from earlier in April indicated that B3 plans to introduce a tokenization platform and a stablecoin by the end of the year. Kalshi expanded into Brazil in January via a collaboration with XP International, but the country has since tightened regulations for foreign platforms. With Polymarket, Kalshi, and 26 other platforms now blocked at the network level, B3 is entering a less crowded domestic market for regulated financial event contracts.

Trump Alters Tone on Prediction Markets, States U.S. Might Trail Behind iGame

Trump Alters Tone on Prediction Markets, States U.S. Might Trail Behind

28 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - President Donald Trump has adjusted his stance on prediction markets, though he has not dropped his existing concerns about the sector. His most recent comments come after a federal case connected to Polymarket drew renewed attention to event contracts, insider information, and the question of how much latitude U.S. regulators should grant the industry. Good to Know Trump noted that some “very smart” people support prediction markets. He previously stated that “the whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino.” Polymarket and Kalshi remain at the center of a broader debate over event contracts, sports markets, and state gambling regulations. Trump Balances Doubt With Fear Of Falling Behind Trump sounded more open to prediction markets during remarks to reporters in Florida on Saturday. He did not offer full endorsement of the practice, but he pointed to many industry insiders who back the concept. He said: “I don’t know. I know some people who are very smart. They like it. “They disagree, but they like it.”Trump also brought up international competition, and said: “A lot of other countries are doing it, and when the other countries do it, we get left out in the cold if we don’t do it.” Just a few days earlier, Trump used far sharper language during a White House appearance. Reporters asked him about a U.S. soldier accused of using classified information to profit from Polymarket trades linked to a potential operation involving Nicolás Maduro. The Justice Department charged Gannon Ken Van Dyke in this case, and Polymarket flagged the suspicious activity before reporting it to authorities. “Well, you know, the whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino,” Trump said, and added:“I don’t like it conceptually, but it is what it is.” These comments align with widespread concerns about prediction markets. Kalshi recently fined and suspended three congressional candidates for betting on their own races, even though each wager was worth less than $100. The platform banned the candidates for five years, while some lawmakers argued the penalties were too lenient. At the same time, Trump’s inner circle has ties to the prediction market sector. PBS reported that prediction markets tied to Trump’s comments on Iran drew major betting activity, including on platforms backed by Donald Trump Jr. ABC News also reported that the Trump family has connections to prediction market companies such as Polymarket. Regulators are still fighting over who has jurisdiction over these products. The CFTC has sued New York officials after the state took action against prediction market operators, arguing that federally registered exchanges fall under federal oversight. New York holds the position that some products count as illegal gambling under state law. This article is provided by a third-party.

Once captured, users can train their pets, enhance their abilities, and deploy them in both Player-versus-Environment and Player-versus-Player combat. The types of pets available can vary depending on geographic location and the time of day. RealGo refers to its framework as Meme 3.0. Essentially, this means meme intellectual property is integrated directly into the gameplay, character advancement, trading, and blockchain-based rewards, moving beyond mere representation on a token price chart.The newly acquired funds will be allocated to further product development, additional integrations with meme communities, and a broader deployment on both mobile and decentralized applications. Support has already been incorporated for communities such as Doge, TOSHI, Floki, WIF, NPC, Dogelon Mars, and APEPE.

We are convinced that the future of Meme 3.0 lies with initiatives that transform cultural trends into active behavior, communities into functional economies, and fleeting attention into sustained involvement.” The game is developed on the Unity 3D engine and records all pets, tokens, and items on the blockchain. It also features an integrated wallet and fiat currency onboarding, enabling players to begin without the need for external cryptocurrency tools. This article is provided by a third-party.

MGCB Rolls Out Free Online Gambling Blocking Tool

27 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - As part of its responsible gaming initiatives, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has begun offering Michigan residents free access to Gamban, a gambling-blocking software. Good to Know Michigan residents can apply for complimentary Gamban licenses through the MGCB’s official website. License durations range from one to five years. Users do not need to enroll in the state’s self-exclusion program to qualify. Free Tool Blocks Gambling Sites and Mobile Apps The MGCB noted that this new partnership provides residents an additional method to restrict access to online gambling platforms—including licensed casinos, sports betting apps, offshore sites, and unregulated services. Gamban functions across multiple devices, blocking gambling websites and mobile apps while keeping non-gambling services accessible. The company also states that once installed, the software is hard to remove or disable, a feature that supports users seeking a stronger barrier between themselves and betting products. The tool can also direct users to local support services when they seek help with gambling-related harm.MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams described Gamban as “a free, proven tool to instantly block access to online gambling across all their devices.” Cost can deter some users from trying blocking software, and Gamban Director of External Affairs Matt Zarb-Cousin said the Michigan partnership addresses this gap: “We are delighted to partner with the Michigan Gaming Control Board to make Gamban free for those where cost would otherwise be a barrier. “When someone takes the first step toward quitting gambling, they will be informed of all state-available support services via the Gamban app, while it works in the background to block gambling sites and apps.”This program launches as Michigan continues to operate one of the larger regulated online gambling markets in the U.S., with state regulators adding more consumer protection tools for legal iGaming and sports betting.

UK MPs Re-examine Gambling Ads After APPG Report iGame

UK MPs Re-examine Gambling Ads After APPG Report

27 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - UK MPs have debated gambling advertising in Westminster, following a report from the APPG that urged stricter regulations on marketing, sports sponsorships, and content targeting younger viewers. Good to Know The APPG report supported a ban on gambling advertisements before 9pm. MPs expressed worries about children being exposed to betting commercials on television and the internet. Government ministers stated that any new measures should not push consumers toward unlawful gambling sites. MPs Clash Over Gambling Ad Limits Labour MPs Alex Ballinger and Dr Beccy Cooper described gambling advertising as a public health issue, contending that repeated exposure can lead to more betting and hinder recovery for those suffering from gambling-related harm. Ballinger presented statistics indicating that gambling companies allocate roughly £2 billion annually to marketing. He also mentioned Gambling Commission data revealing that 79% of children have encountered gambling advertisements. Dr Cooper drew parallels between the promotion of gambling and the advertising of tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy food, stating:“Gambling is an addictive product. That is an incontrovertible health fact.” Not all MPs unconditionally endorsed stricter regulations. Conservative MP Charlie Dewhirst cautioned that severe restrictions could harm sports and broadcast revenues and allow unlicensed overseas operators to expand their market presence. He suggested that illicit operators might surpass regulated UK companies in advertising expenditure by 2028. The topic of sports sponsorship was also discussed, with MPs highlighting the Premier League's ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsors starting in the 2026/27 season. This change could cost clubs as much as £80 million.Ministers committed to continuing their review of the APPG's proposals. They also highlighted the existence of a cross-government taskforce on illegal gambling, an additional £26 million in funding for Gambling Commission enforcement, and a planned consultation regarding sports sponsorship by unlicensed operators.
