首程控股（0697.HK）分紅回購並舉 8年累計回饋股東約68.77億港元

7 4 月, 2026
香港, 2026年4月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 首程控股（0697.HK）持續加大股東回報力度。數據顯示，自2018年趙天暘主席上任至今，公司累計回饋股東約68.77億港元，其中累計分紅59.8億港元（含2026年已公佈但尚未派付股息），累計回購8.97億港元。分紅與回購並舉，顯示出公司在持續提升經營質量的同時，也在不斷加強對投資者的真金白銀回饋。首程控股高水平股東回報的背後，有穩健的經營基本面作支撐。拉長時間維度來看，自2018年初趙天暘主席上任以來，公司總資產已由最初的81.86億港元增至155.7億港元，8年間增長至約1.9倍，年複合增長率約8.37%；歸母淨利潤由0.57億港元增至3.10億港元，增長至約5.4倍。這顯示公司在戰略轉型過程中，盈利能力、資產厚度及資本市場價值均實現持續提升，為公司持續分紅回購及業務拓展夯實了基礎。與此同時，公司財務結構持續優化。最新年報顯示，2025年公司經營活動現金流淨額佔總資產比率按年提升98%，資產負債率降至28.4%，有息負債率降至6.2%。這意味著，公司當前的高回報並非建立在高槓桿透支之上，而是建立在資產結構改善、現金流增強及主業穩步增長基礎上的主動回饋。隨著經營基本面持續夯實，首程控股回饋股東的力度亦不斷提升。最新年報顯示，董事會決定派發年度分紅總額7.8億港元，對應年度平均市值股息率約5.6%；作為橫向參照，恒生指數截至2026年2月27日的股息率為2.94%，首程控股上述派息水平明顯高於這一市場基準，亦令其在當前港股更重視確定性回報的環境中，展現出較強吸引力。除持續分紅外，首程控股近期在回購端的動作亦明顯提速。根據公司最新披露，截至2026年4月2日，公司年內已累計進行28次回購，合計回購約1.19億股，累計回購金額約2.23億港元。僅自3月30日以來，公司已連續4個交易日實施回購，累計回購金額約9,473.66萬港元。近期回購節奏明顯加快，既體現出管理層對公司長期價值的認可，也進一步強化了公司持續回饋股東、穩定市場預期的積極導向。在當前市場環境下，能夠持續實施高水平分紅，並同步開展回購的上市公司並不多見。首程控股一方面通過分紅與回購持續提升股東回報，另一方面依託資產營運和產業基金雙主業不斷夯實經營基礎，逐步形成「經營提質、現金增厚、回報提升」的良性循環。隨著股東回報機制持續兌現，公司長期投資價值有望進一步顯現。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

ASA Challenges Skill On Net’s Pistachio Instagram Ad iGame

ASA Challenges Skill On Net’s Pistachio Instagram Ad

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Skill On Net has been reprimanded by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) regarding a sponsored Instagram post that featured a stand-up comedian discussing pistachios. The advertisement for the white label casino operator Gecko Play featured an unnamed comedian performing a routine on stage. During the set, the comic remarked: “Gambling is really like eating pistachios, if you get a good pistachio, you want another good one, if you get a bad one, you want a good one even more,” which drew laughter from the crowd. At the bottom of the video, a GambleAware logo and an 18+ symbol were displayed alongside text reading “Gambling can be addictive please play responsibly,” with #AD appearing in the bottom right corner. According to the ASA, two individuals lodged complaints questioning whether the advertisement promoted irresponsible socially gambling conduct. Skill On Net contended that the comparison drawn between gambling and pistachios was meant to be ‘light-hearted, observational humour regarding the variability and unpredictability of outcomes’. The company further clarified that the post was not designed to ‘encourage persistent gambling, nor to suggest that individuals should continue gambling’ to chase losses. It also noted that the ad did not reference financial loss, raising stakes, risk-free betting, or excessive play. Nevertheless, acknowledging that the advertisement might be perceived in a manner that violates the CAP code, Skill On Net has taken down the post and revised its internal marketing guidelines in light of the complaint. The ASA responded by confirming that the advertisement violated the CAP Code because it trivialised the act of gambling after a loss instead of promoting responsible play. This ruling was made despite the inclusion of the GambleAware logo and the 18+ disclaimer, as the regulator determined these features did not change the ad's general message, ‘which made light of continued gambling following both wins and losses’. The ASA observed that viewers likely interpreted the statement to imply that gambling is ‘compulsive and hard to stop’. Additionally, the remark about wanting a “good one even more” after a “bad one” was seen as a subtle suggestion to place additional bets to recoup losses. The ASA elaborated: “We therefore considered the ad gave the impression that the decision to gamble, even in the face of losses, should be taken lightly and that it encouraged or condoned repetitive or frequent participation in gambling, including after losses. For that reason, we concluded that the ad was likely to encourage gambling behaviour that was harmful and therefore breached the Code. “The ad breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rules 16.1, 16.3 and 16.3.1 (Gambling).” The ASA mandated that the advertisement must not be broadcast again in its current form and that future marketing materials must not ‘portray, condone or encourage gambling behaviour that was socially irresponsible or could lead to financial, social or emotional harm’.

報導指出，中國在美以打擊期間協助伊朗飛彈計畫 News

報導指出，中國在美以打擊期間協助伊朗飛彈計畫

7 4 月, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 根據一家美國主要軍事智庫及其他報導指出，共產主義中國據報正為陷入困境的伊朗政權提供軍事援助。戰爭研究所（Institute for the Study of War）表示，根據最近的報導，中國正在為伊朗政權的飛彈計畫提供軍事援助。根據該研究所的說法，「在美國和以色列努力削弱伊朗飛彈計畫之際，中國正在幫助伊朗重組該計畫。」戰爭研究所指出，「西方媒體報導，自戰爭開始以來，中國已向伊朗運送了多批飛彈燃料前體。」該研究所表示，「中國幫助伊朗重組的努力，可能會破壞聯軍為削弱或摧毀彈道飛彈計畫支援要素所做的努力。」中國問題專家章家敦（Gordon Chang）告訴 Digital，「中國是敵方戰鬥人員，正在危及我們的部隊。」《每日電訊報》（The Daily Telegraph）最近報導稱，「據信載有用於飛彈燃料的中國化學品的船隻已抵達伊朗，這引發了對北京支持該政權的質疑。自戰爭爆發以來，已有四艘受制裁的伊朗籍船隻停靠在伊朗港口。」該報導還聲稱，「受制裁的船隻載有足以生產數百枚彈藥的化學品，從中國港口駛往伊朗港口。」章家敦敦促美國扣押據報正在運輸高氯酸鈉（伊朗飛彈燃料系統所需的化學材料）的中國船隻。他補充說，「這是美國是否有意願讓中國付出代價的問題。」章家敦總結時指出，「美國總統擁有多個施壓點。如果你審視中美整體關係，美國有更多的牌可打。」他提到了美中貿易關係，因為中國是出口導向型國家，依賴至關重要的美國消費市場。據報導，自2月28日戰爭開始以來，在遭受美國和以色列的懲罰性空襲後，伊斯蘭共和國的軍事部隊一直狂熱地致力於重建其飛彈設施。根據戰爭研究所的說法，「根據近期美國情報評估，伊朗一直在挖掘被聯軍擊中的地下飛彈掩體和發射井，在某些情況下，能在遭襲擊數小時後恢復其運作。伊朗可能在襲擊後數小時內重新建立對其發射器的使用通道，但這些發射器是一個已遭削弱的大型系統的組成部分。據報導，部分伊朗部隊的恐懼與缺乏協調，意味著中程飛彈系統的運作仍不理想。」中國公司因違反美國對伊朗政權提供軍事援助的限制而受到制裁。2023年，美國財政部表示，已「指定一個制裁逃避網絡中的一名個人和六個實體，該網絡協助伊朗為其破壞穩定的軍事計畫採購電子元件，包括用於無人機（UAV）的元件。此行動特別針對美國指定的伊朗Pardazan System Namad Arman（PASNA）負責人，以及該實體位於伊朗、馬來西亞、香港和中國[中華人民共和國]的幌子公司和供應商，這些公司使PASNA得以採購貨物和技術。」就在上個月，大西洋理事會（Atlantic Council）的一份報告指出，「中國已向伊朗提供無人機、反艦巡航飛彈、地對空飛彈及其組件，以協助其空中和海上防禦能力。在其他情況下，中國直接向伊朗供應西方或中國的技術元件，這些元件被用於伊朗的無人機中，這些無人機被用來攻擊美國在波斯灣的軍事設施和經濟利益，以及俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰場。」Digital向中國駐華盛頓特區大使館發出的新聞查詢，未立即獲得回覆。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

澳洲在世獲勳最多士兵遭起訴 戰爭罪指控激辯正酣 News

澳洲在世獲勳最多士兵遭起訴 戰爭罪指控激辯正酣

7 4 月, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 澳洲當局已逮捕並起訴該國現役最受勳的士兵班·羅伯茨-史密斯（Ben Roberts-Smith），47歲，罪名是在阿富汗戰爭期間涉嫌犯下五起戰爭罪謀殺案。羅伯茨-史密斯曾是澳洲國防軍（Australian Defence Force）的一員，週二在雪梨機場被捕。他的被捕引發了一位前澳洲總理的強烈抗議，他認為以「普通平民生活的標準來判斷在殊死搏鬥中的男人的行為是不公平的」。X 的所有者伊隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）也對此逮捕發表評論，稱其「瘋狂」。澳洲聯邦警察（Australian Federal Police）和特別調查辦公室（Office of the Special Investigator）表示，羅伯茨-史密斯被控與2009年至2012年間三起獨立事件中殺害五名手無寸鐵的阿富汗人有關。澳洲聯邦警察局長克莉絲·巴雷特（Krissy Barrett）指控羅伯茨-史密斯要麼親手殺害了這些手無寸鐵的阿富汗人，要麼指示下屬殺害他們。如果罪名成立，羅伯茨-史密斯每項指控都將面臨無期徒刑。巴雷特在記者會上表示：「據稱，受害者在阿富汗被指控謀殺時並未參與敵對行動。」「據稱，受害者在被殺害時已被拘禁、手無寸鐵，並在澳洲國防軍成員的控制之下。」根據特別調查辦公室（Office of the Special Investigator）調查主任羅斯·巴內特（Ross Barnett）的說法，對羅伯茨-史密斯的調查始於2021年。羅伯茨-史密斯在第五次阿富汗服役期間，因衝鋒陷陣摧毀兩挺敵方機槍而獲頒維多利亞十字勳章。巴內特在記者會上表示，鑑於部分謀殺案發生在十多年前，且調查人員無法前往阿富汗，這項調查「面臨嚴峻挑戰」。巴內特在記者會上說：「我們無法進入犯罪現場，沒有照片、現場平面圖、測量數據、彈丸回收、血跡飛濺分析，所有這些我們通常能在犯罪現場獲得的東西都沒有。」儘管澳洲現任總理尚未對此次逮捕發表評論，但前澳洲總理兼自由黨（Liberal Party）領袖托尼·艾伯特（Tony Abbott）在X上發表長文，表達對羅伯茨-史密斯的支持。艾伯特寫道：「如果班·羅伯茨-史密斯確實犯錯，為何在他獲得英勇勳章之前沒有被發現？為何他的上級軍官沒有察覺任何對待囚犯的殘暴文化，並迅速處理，而不是像被指控的那樣，任其滋生十多年？」關於羅伯茨-史密斯涉嫌戰爭罪的指控於2017年和2018年開始在《The Age》、《Sydney Morning Herald》和《The Canberra Times》發表的文章中公開流傳。羅伯茨-史密斯對這些報社提起誹謗訴訟，這成為澳洲最昂貴的誹謗審判，但在2023年，一名聯邦法院（Federal Court）法官裁定，這些報社對羅伯茨-史密斯提出的六項謀殺指控中有四項是合法的。在安東尼·貝桑科（Anthony Besanko）法官裁定有根據的指控之一中，羅伯茨-史密斯據稱將一名名叫阿里·詹（Ali Jan）的戴手銬阿富汗男子推下10米高的懸崖邊緣。他墜落後倖存下來，但羅伯茨-史密斯和他的戰友們沿著小徑走下去與他會合。羅伯茨-史密斯隨後命令一名在法庭上被稱為「第11號人物」（Person 11）的下屬向他開槍。高等法院（High Court）於2025年9月駁回了羅伯茨-史密斯對該裁決的上訴。對羅伯茨-史密斯的刑事指控源於特別調查辦公室（OSI）和澳洲聯邦警察（AFP）的聯合行動。這兩個澳洲機構已對53名與阿富汗戰爭罪指控相關的澳洲國防軍（ADF）成員進行了調查。其中十項調查仍在進行中。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

俄羅斯、中國否決聯合國重開荷姆茲海峽決議案，距川普最後期限僅數小時 News

俄羅斯、中國否決聯合國重開荷姆茲海峽決議案，距川普最後期限僅數小時

7 4 月, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 俄羅斯與中國於週二否決了一項聯合國安全理事會的決議案，該決議旨在重新開放荷姆茲海峽，此時距離美國總統川普為伊朗設定的停止威脅該關鍵水道的期限僅剩數小時。川普給予伊朗直到美東時間晚上8點的最後期限，要求其重新開放荷姆茲海峽，否則將在週二面臨對其發電廠和橋樑的打擊。該決議案獲得11票贊成、2票反對，巴基斯坦和哥倫比亞棄權。「沒有人應該容忍他們將全球經濟置於槍口之下，但今天，俄羅斯和中國確實容忍了，」美國大使麥克·沃爾茲週二表示。「他們與一個試圖恐嚇海灣地區使其屈服的政權站在一邊，即使該政權在全國網路中斷期間殘酷對待自己的人民，只因為他們敢於想像尊嚴或自由。」「未能通過這項決議向世界、向世界人民發出了錯誤的信號——即對國際水道的威脅可以在負責維護國際和平與安全的國際組織未採取任何決定性行動的情況下安然度過，」巴林外交部長阿卜杜拉提夫·本·拉希德·阿勒扎亞尼在投票後補充道。這項由巴林提出但遭否決的決議，「強烈鼓勵對使用荷姆茲海峽商業海上航線感興趣的國家，協調具有防禦性質、與情況相稱的努力，以有助於確保荷姆茲海峽航行的安全與保障。」該決議還要求伊朗立即停止對商船和商業船隻的攻擊，並停止阻礙它們通過荷姆茲海峽的航行自由以及攻擊民用基礎設施。據美聯社報導，決議的措辭被大幅削弱，試圖讓俄羅斯和中國棄權而非否決它。最初的海灣國家提案將授權各國使用「一切必要手段」——聯合國的措辭，其中包含軍事行動——以確保通過荷姆茲海峽的過境運輸，並威懾關閉海峽的企圖。在擁有否決權的安理會15個理事國中的俄羅斯、中國和法國都對批准使用武力表示反對後，該決議經過修訂，刪除了所有關於進攻性行動的提及。它將只授權「一切必要的防禦手段」。原預計於週六進行表決。但相反地，該決議被進一步削弱，刪除了任何提及安全理事會授權——即行動命令——的內容，並將其條款限制在荷姆茲海峽。先前的草案版本曾包含鄰近水域。「讓我說清楚——這項文本只會助長美國和以色列政權繼續其非法行動和暴行，同時使其免於追究責任，」伊朗駐聯合國大使阿米爾·賽義德·伊拉瓦尼在投票後表示。「伊朗政權直到美東時間晚上8點前，必須把握時機與美國達成協議，」白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特週二告訴記者。「只有總統清楚目前的情況以及他將採取什麼行動。」’ Patrick Ward, Anders Hagstrom and 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Agreegain Enhances Content Portfolio through Collaboration with Endorphina

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Agreegain has expanded its casino suite by adding fresh game content from Endorphina. As part of this partnership, more than 200 slot games from the Prague-based studio will now be accessible to Agreegain’s network of operator partners. Featured titles include King Of Ghosts and Hell Hot 100. Inga Kadyrova, Endorphina’s Partnership Manager, stated: “Partnerships like this help us strengthen our position across the industry, and I am confident our games will be a perfect complement to their existing offerings. We are thrilled to welcome Agreegain as our new partner.” Endorphina holds partnerships with over 5,000 companies globally and holds licenses to deliver game content across 31 jurisdictions worldwide, spanning markets in Europe and Latin America. Agreegain noted that integrating Endorphina into its partner network has enhanced the strength and variety of its content portfolio for its operator partners. Maria Afzaal, Senior Partnership Manager at Agreegain, added: “At Agreegain, we are consistently seeking content that aligns with the regions and markets we prioritize. “Partnering with Endorphina is an exciting milestone that lets us deliver innovative, diverse games that meet the needs of our operator partners across Europe and Latin America. We believe this addition bolsters our content portfolio and provides our partners and players with content that aligns with their preferences and our overall market strategy.” Managing Regulatory Risks Earlier this year, Josh Kingett, Business Development Manager at Agreegain, spoke with iGaming Expert about how content aggregators must adapt as operators continue to pursue international expansion into new markets. Kingett stressed that aggregators must proactively track regulatory shifts across global jurisdictions to ensure the games they offer are either pre-certified or swiftly adjusted to meet new compliance requirements. He added: “Aggregators should manage provider certifications and compliance updates through a central hub, shielding operators from tedious contract management, individual studio negotiations and delays. “Providing modular, jurisdiction-specific configurations via a single API also allows operators to adjust content compliance settings without rebuilding their entire platforms.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Amnesty International calls for investigation into casino abuse in Cambodia iGame

Amnesty International calls for investigation into casino abuse in Cambodia

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Amnesty International has charged Cambodia’s casino regulator with effectively endorsing enterprises involved in severe violations, such as torture, human trafficking, and child labor. The organization has highlighted 12 casinos that the Cambodia Commercial Gambling Management Commission (CGMC) authorized plans for between December 2025 and January 2026, noting that these venues function as scam compounds where documented human rights violations have occurred. Among those listed are three Crown casinos in Poipet, Bavet and Chrey Thum – owned by Anco Brothers Co. Ltd – as well as the Majestic Two and Majestic Hotel & Casino, whose former Chair, Kuong Li, was charged at the beginning of 2026 with illegal recruitment for exploitation, aggravated fraud, and money laundering. According to testimony from victims interviewed by Amnesty International, trafficked workers, often enticed by social media ads promising lucrative job opportunities, are detained against their will and compelled to participate in schemes that have defrauded victims of billions of dollars. Amnesty International utilized site visits and victim testimonies to cross-reference official plans submitted to the CGMG. The organization documented abuses such as workers being subjected to torture and beatings with electric shock batons. “The authorities must explain why casinos with proven ties to trafficking and torture continue to receive official approval,” said Montse Ferrer, Amnesty International’s Co-Regional Director. “Every day that these casinos remain licensed is another day in which people on casino property are at risk of human rights abuse. “Our research establishes a clear link between Cambodia’s licensed casinos and its scamming compounds. At a time when the government claims to be dismantling the scamming industry, the evidence shows it is simultaneously approving plans for casino properties where abusive scamming compounds are run.” Authorities in Cambodia have repeatedly reaffirmed their commitment to addressing scam compounds; Reuters reported that approximately 190 scam centers were closed down in February. Last week, Cambodia’s Parliament also passed the first cybercrime law dedicated to targeting the perpetrators of online scams. Once implemented, those convicted will face between two to five years in prison and fines up to $125,000. Sentences for scams conducted by gangs or against many victims can extend up to 10 years. However, Amnesty International has accused the Cambodian government of “deliberately ignoring a litany of human rights abuses” and police forces in the country of collusion with compound bosses to avoid enforcement action. A report published in June 2025 by the charity identified 53 scamming compounds, and over half were linked to casinos, as gangs often repurpose former casinos and hotels into centers for fraud. “The Cambodian authorities know what is going on inside scamming compounds, yet they allow it to continue. Our findings reveal a pattern of state failures that have allowed criminality to flourish and raise questions about the government’s motivations,” Ferrer said in June. She added that the latest revelations demonstrate that the casino sector requires “investigation and accountability,” and demanded that the Cambodian government immediately suspend the gambling licences of the casinos identified until a “full, independent and transparent investigation into the violations documented at these sites” is conducted. The CGMC and the companies named failed to respond to Amnesty International over the allegations. According to a statement released on 5 April, the CGMC has revoked the licence of the Shang Hai Resort, a casino not named by Amnesty International, after raids found evidence of activity related to scam compounds.

French regulator ANJ says casino efforts to combat gambling harm remain insufficient iGame

French regulator ANJ says casino efforts to combat gambling harm remain insufficient

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - France's national gambling regulator has urged casinos to intensify their efforts against underage and problem gambling, stating that some establishments are failing to detect and assist a sufficient number of patrons experiencing gambling-related harm. The authority highlighted that both compulsive and underage gambling rank among the most significant threats within the French market, calling on the industry to re-evaluate its approach to these challenges. Alongside this caution, the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) acknowledged the growth in collaborations between casinos and support services, as it assessed operator action plans designed to prevent excessive and underage gambling. Uneven results The ANJ observed that while casinos are enhancing their systems for identifying and assisting at-risk players, some 'are still only detecting and supporting an inadequate number of excessive or pathological gamblers, a figure that does not match their customer traffic levels'. The regulator also mentioned that the improved links between gambling venues and support organizations have facilitated directing identified problem gamblers to treatment, running awareness campaigns, and training employees. Regarding staff training, the ANJ reported that more than 2,200 individuals have utilized the e-learning module since its introduction in November 2024. More work to do Minimizing gambling harm is a central pillar of the ANJ's strategic plan for 2024-2026. Since October 2019, operators have been mandated to submit their protection action plans to the ANJ for assessment, with the goal of bolstering player safeguards. In all, plans were submitted for approval by FDJ United and Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU), 17 licensed online operators, 210 casinos and gaming clubs, and 231 racetracks. Only one casino's plan was rejected. The ANJ pointed out that industry-wide advancements have occurred but stressed that more work is necessary to achieve the target of reducing gambling harm by 2027. Operators received several suggestions, such as reinforcing their systems, training staff, and giving players essential information. While the ANJ approved the action plans from FDJ and PMU, it indicated two primary issues require attention: Implement a rigorous policy for monitoring retail outlets to ensure compliance with the prohibition on sales to minors. Create methods suitable for physical locations to establish a more efficient system for recognizing and aiding gamblers affected by harm. Strengthening systems Concerning licensed online operators, the ANJ said most have implemented procedures to prevent circumvention of the underage gambling ban, covering registration, information provision to adults, awareness initiatives, and parental controls. Actions to better detect individuals harmed by gambling have also been taken. The count of flagged players increased from 31,000 in 2024 to 89,000 in 2025, following upgrades to detection tools and new metrics. Nevertheless, the regulator expects operators to enhance their identification of potentially harmed players to align it 'with the scale of their customer base and prevalence research'. 'Concrete and quantifiable outcomes' must also be realized in fortifying systems that spot those suffering or at risk, with possible monitoring to confirm these improvements. This push for stronger systems coincides with operators gearing up for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup. The ANJ reminded FDJ, PMU, and other licensed operators earlier this year that they must not surpass their declared total promotional budget for 2026. Racetrack improvements In the horse racing sector, the ANJ recognized work to inform bettors about support resources, train staff, and the ongoing supervision by the National Federation of Horse Racing (FNCH). However, the regulator emphasized the need for a clear separation at venues between family-friendly zones and betting areas, and to ensure content does not indirectly promote gambling. The FNCH was also directed to enhance its processes for identifying and supporting individuals experiencing gambling harm at tracks by persisting with training, as current efforts were deemed 'insufficient'.

Philippines Declares the End of the POGO Chapter iGame

Philippines Declares the End of the POGO Chapter

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Government authorities in the Philippines have announced that the country has now fully eliminated all remaining traces of offshore gaming operations, which are widely known as POGOs. Prior to July 2024, online gaming operators were permitted to set up their headquarters in the Philippines while serving customers based in overseas markets such as China. However, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr reversed this policy during his 2024 State of the Nation Address, announcing that he would ban POGO operations entirely due to their deep ties to a range of criminal activities. He explained that POGOs had “expanded into illegal activities far beyond gaming, including financial scams, money laundering, prostitution, human trafficking, kidnapping, brutal torture and even murder”, and a deadline of the end of 2024 was set for all such operations to cease operations permanently. Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida told The Manila Times on Monday (April 6) that “there are no official POGOs left operating in the country, and no unauthorised illegal POGOs either”, confirming that the government’s sector-wide crackdown has been completed successfully. The close of the POGO era POGO operations first began emerging in 2003, after the Philippines offered a base to Chinese gaming operators that were displaced by the Chinese government’s full ban on all gambling in Mainland China. The sector saw rapid growth starting in 2016, after the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) began issuing operating licenses to POGO providers. At its peak in 2019, the Philippines’ POGO industry counted more than 300 licensed operators, contributed over P100bn (£1.25bn) in tax revenue to the national government, and employed tens of thousands of local Filipino workers. However, as POGOs grew in scale, widespread concerns over linked criminal activity continued to build, leading to repeated calls for a full ban on the sector, demands that President Marcos Jr ultimately answered. One of the most high-profile criminal cases connected to POGOs involved Alice Guo, a Chinese national who was sentenced to life imprisonment in November 2025 on human trafficking charges. The charges followed a 2024 raid on a POGO operation located on land Guo owned in the town of Bamban. Police found more than 700 Filipino and foreign nationals at the site, many of whom reported they had been forced to participate in online scam operations. Further investigations also uncovered that Guo had faked her Filipino citizenship to win election as Mayor of Bamban. A statement from the Presidential Anti-Organised Crime Commission (PAOCC) released after the guilty verdict said: “Guo’s power, wealth and public image were built entirely on human trafficking, online scam operations and a falsified identity.” “This long-awaited ruling is not only a legal victory but also a moral one. It delivers justice to victims, reaffirms the government’s unified stance against organised crime and marks a defining moment in the country’s fight against large-scale trafficking and online scam syndicates.” A new chapter for the Philippine gaming market One year after the official end of POGO operations, the PAOCC is still prosecuting cases linked to members of dismantled POGO networks, which highlights how deeply criminality was embedded throughout these operations. Gambling remains a key economic driver for the Philippine economy, but regulated online gaming is now limited to domestic inland operators (PIGOs) and is overseen by PAGCOR. In 2025, online gaming activity generated P53.3bn (£667.9m) in revenue for PAGCOR. Even so, the regulator recorded an overall 5% drop in total revenue, partially caused by the offshore gaming ban, as the now-banned sector contributed almost P3bn (£37.6m) in revenue in 2024. Following the government’s crackdown on POGOs, policy focus has now shifted to strengthening oversight of the regulated gaming industry, as well as cracking down on the country’s unregulated gambling black market.

KPMG Cleared in Entain Audit Investigation Regarding Turkish Liabilities iGame

KPMG Cleared in Entain Audit Investigation Regarding Turkish Liabilities

7 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has concluded its inquiry into KPMG's audit of Entain Plc's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The UK's statutory body for audit, accounting, and corporate governance has stated that neither KPMG nor Entain will face any disciplinary measures. Launched in November 2024, the investigation focused on KPMG's work on Entain's FY2022 consolidated accounts. This followed the FTSE-listed gambling operator's agreement to a £615m deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in 2023. This DPA, settled with HMRC and the Crown Prosecution Service, concerned bribery accusations connected to GVC Holdings—Entain's former operating company—and its historical business activities in Turkey. No action needed In its FY2023 results, Entain posted a statutory loss of around £890m, largely due to a £585m provision for the DPA. The full settlement totalled £615m, made up of a £585m penalty, a £20m charitable contribution, and £10m in costs to the authorities. The audited year, FY2022, was characterised as one of robust fundamental performance. Entain recorded an EBITDA of £993m and an operating profit of £103m, buoyed by expansion in the US through its BetMGM brand and persistent demand in UK and European markets, amplified by conditions during the COVID pandemic. The FRC examined whether KPMG had sufficiently evaluated legal and regulatory risks in Entain's accounts, particularly regarding how liabilities from its past Turkish operations were handled. In its decision, the FRC said: “Having reviewed the evidence obtained in the investigation, and having considered all relevant factors, the Executive Counsel has decided not to bring enforcement action.” Since 2024, Entain has consistently asserted that all issues related to the case are now settled, confirming the group has completely moved on from its historical exposure. Operating under an updated corporate charter, Entain now conducts business solely in fully regulated markets, strengthening its compliance and governance structure. Notwithstanding these reforms, financial challenges persist. For FY2025, Entain reported a third straight annual loss, amounting to £680m, even as key performance indicators showed marked improvement in its core UK and Ireland markets, indicating a return to stability in these important regions. A broader restructuring KPMG continues to serve as Entain Plc's statutory auditor, with the end of the FRC investigation eliminating a source of regulatory doubt over its audit services. Nevertheless, the firm is undergoing its own operational overhaul. In early 2026, KPMG disclosed a strategic review of its workforce, confirming intentions to eliminate roughly 440 assistant manager positions in its audit division, in addition to about 120 roles in its advisory business. The firm cited unusually low staff turnover rates as the reason for the necessary workforce changes. The resolution of the Entain investigation, paired with wider restructuring in the audit industry, highlights an evolving environment for corporate governance and audit supervision, where regulators are weighing scrutiny against a more proportionate enforcement strategy.

Better Choices, Longer Sessions: The Power of Intentional Variety iGame

Better Choices, Longer Sessions: The Power of Intentional Variety

6 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Content saturation is a major challenge in the iGaming industry, so standing out now depends less on quantity and more on strategic focus. In this piece, Edvardas Sadovkis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, contends that purposeful variety is emerging as the critical factor for keeping players engaged. As gaming operators grapple with increasing “lobby clutter,” Sadovkis examines how curated content plans, cross-vertical integration, and quicker, more user-friendly experiences can ease decision fatigue and lengthen players’ time on the platform. Using ICONIC21’s own growth journey as an example, he explains why organized diversity and brand-driven ecosystems will shape success in 2026. Traditionally, the iGaming sector prioritized quantity over quality, leading to market saturation. As 2026 nears, data shows that generic game titles are becoming less relevant. These games lack unique flair and fail to meet the expectations of players accustomed to endless scrolling. This situation imposes a “lobby overcrowding cost” on decision-makers. Information overload reduces the quality of choices, resulting in a paradox of choice—when faced with too many similar options, players often abandon the platform entirely. Purposeful variety is the solution to combat decision fatigue. A cross-vertical strategy that supports this smooth flow is a key growth driver. Integrating different verticals can boost player lifetime value. The goal is to guide players from the homepage to their next optimal action quickly, delivering experiences that align with their preferences and your brand’s standards. This shift toward curated variety is the core foundation. This transition to curated variety underpins the success of leading iGaming content providers. ICONIC21 initially focused on delivering an entertainment-first live dealer experience. A major change came in 2024, when the company rebranded and became an independent entity, expanding its content offerings and evolving from a live-centric approach to a comprehensive 360-degree supplier. Their growth from a live-only specialist to a multi-vertical powerhouse offering live casino, slots, virtual games, promo tools, dedicated studios, and more serves as proof of successful scaling, aligned with market demand and data-driven insights. But how? Trust is the currency of live gaming, but spectacle drives engagement. ICONIC21’s Gravity Series—including recently released Gravity Wheel, Gravity Roulette, and other game types—transforms traditional games into cinematic events by layering multipliers and high payouts. For the mobile-first, digitally native audience, speed is everything. RNG-based formats like Crash or Plinko and fan favorites like Chicken Run act as vital “bridge content,” capturing players’ attention with simple, intense mechanics.While some providers flood the market with low-quality “slop,” it’s important to maintain a steady release cycle balanced across verticals. This pace keeps the lobby fresh without contributing to choice overload. As content becomes commoditized, your brand remains your most valuable asset. Dedicated studios reflect your unique vision. Branded games consistently outperform network games in engagement and retention by fostering familiarity and loyalty. The message for 2026 is clear: authority trumps volume. Build a brand-led, diverse ecosystem that values your players’ time, and they will respond with loyalty. Your content should be as fast, distinctive, and intentional as your audience.

Amnesty Claims Cambodia Approved Casinos Associated with Scam Compounds iGame

Amnesty Claims Cambodia Approved Casinos Associated with Scam Compounds

6 4 月, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Cambodia's casino licensing practices are under renewed scrutiny following a report from Amnesty International alleging that a dozen authorized gaming venues are connected to scam compounds associated with torture, human trafficking, forced labor, and other abuses. The human rights organization stated the sites are located in Sihanoukville, Poipet, Bavet, and Chrey Thum, and confirmed they hold licenses issued by the Commercial Gambling Management Commission. Good to Know Amnesty indicated its conclusions were drawn from casino license records, physical inspections of the locations, and accounts from individuals who survived the compounds. The organization identified 12 specific casino sites and connected a number of them to domestic firms that already run licensed gaming establishments. The report does not indicate any connection between the Cambodian properties and the Crown brand in Australia or the Venetian brands in Macau or the United States. Licences First Questions After The most critical aspect of the Amnesty report is not simply the list of casinos, but the timing. Despite the Cambodian government's assertions that it is dismantling scam compounds, Amnesty claims that casino licenses have continued to be granted for sites purportedly linked to the very same abusive operations. Among the venues named were Crown Bavet Casino, Crown Resorts in Poipet, and Crown Casino Chrey Thom, which are operated by Anco Brothers Co Ltd. Also listed was New Venetian Casino in Bavet, under New Venetian Resort Co Ltd. Other cited locations included Casino Kyom, Marinan International, Peak Casino, Majestic Hotel & Casino, Majestic Two, Long Feng Xuan Casino, Huang or Wang Chao International, and Golden Sea Casino. Montse Ferrer stated:“This research establishes a clear link between Cambodia’s licensed casinos and its scamming compounds. “At a time when the [Cambodian] government says it is dismantling the scamming industry, the evidence shows it is simultaneously recognising the plans for casino properties where abusive scamming compounds are run.” This represents the central issue for the gaming sector. Amnesty is not merely leveling accusations at private companies; it is questioning why official approvals are still being granted to locations the group asserts are involved in severe human rights abuses. Ferrer added: “This contradiction raises urgent questions about whether Cambodian regulators are legitimising companies linked to grave abuses. The authorities must explain why casinos with documented links to trafficking and torture continue to receive official approval.”The broader context has also intensified. Amnesty has been monitoring scam compounds in Cambodia for several months, and the Cambodian parliament passed a cybercrime law on April 3, which authorities stated would aid a nationwide crackdown on scam networks.
