Ecuador Confirms VAT Application to iGaming

(AsiaGameHub) -   The tax clarification encompasses sports betting, predictions, and other sectors within the igaming industry. Ecuador's Internal Revenue Service (SRI) has established guidelines for taxing digital platforms and betting, with specific frameworks based on the operator's residency and the involvement of financial intermediaries. Ecuador.– The Ecuadorian tax authority, Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI), has specified the rules for applying a 15 percent value-added tax (VAT) to digital services, including sports betting, predictions, and various igaming verticals. The regulation was officially introduced through Circular No. NAC-DGECCGC26-00000004, where the agency noted that digital services provided via automated platforms with minimal human intervention are subject to the standard VAT rate. This includes sports predictions, betting, paid online games, and sports streaming. Tax procedures vary according to the provider's tax residency. Operators based in Ecuador are required to issue receipts and collect VAT from the consumer, handling all declarations and payments to the SRI. For non-resident providers using payment intermediaries, these entities will serve as withholding agents, capturing 100 percent of the VAT at the point of sale for the tax authorities. If no intermediary is involved for a non-resident operator, the tax obligation falls on the consumer to file and pay the tax. This measure is designed to bring structure to the digital sector by setting transparent tax rules and closing regulatory gaps. Additionally, the involvement of financial intermediaries improves monitoring and revenue collection. This article is provided by a third-party.

Robinhood curtails prediction market offerings over insider trading fears

(AsiaGameHub) -   Robinhood’s president stated that the platform has prohibited "mention markets," attributing the decision to an elevated risk of insider advantage. UK.- The retail trading platform Robinhood has reportedly reduced the variety of prediction markets accessible to its users, driven by worries about insider trading and the improper use of event contracts. This action highlights increasing apprehension within financial markets regarding prediction contracts, which enable traders to bet on future occurrences. Jordan Sinclair, president of Robinhood UK, informed the Financial Times on Sunday that the company is "highly focused on market abuse and insider trading." He indicated that Robinhood is restricting access to specific contracts, stating, "There are some we’ve chosen that aren’t right for our customers and that is, I think, the way you can kind of navigate that world." A contentious category involves what are known as mention markets, where bets depend on the appearance of particular words or phrases in speeches or earnings calls. Robinhood has removed these types of offerings, citing the increased potential for insider advantage. Sinclair further mentioned that the company favors regulated platforms such as Kalshi and ForecastEx, avoiding riskier ones like Polymarket. Increasing difficulties for prediction markets Robinhood's prediction markets are exclusively available in the United States, a sector experiencing rapid expansion. The rivalry between key players Kalshi and Polymarket has intensified. Kalshi notably criticized some of Polymarket’s products through billboard advertisements featuring slogans such as “We don’t do death markets.” Similar to Kalshi and Polymarket, Robinhood has also faced regulatory conflicts. In September 2025, the company filed a lawsuit against Massachusetts after the Massachusetts Securities Division sought to prohibit its event-based contracts, claiming they were unregistered securities. Robinhood contended that these contracts are federally regulated derivatives traded on designated exchanges, thus falling under the purview of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Last month, Kalshi and Polymarket implemented enhanced surveillance measures to combat insider trading, following a legislative proposal by senators Adam Schiff and John Curtis. This proposed "Prediction Markets are Gambling Act" aims to prohibit prediction markets from offering contracts related to sports. Concurrently, Senator Richard Blumenthal has sent a letter to Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan, demanding a response by April 24 regarding what he perceives as the platform's inability to prevent insider trading on matters concerning national security. Numerous European nations, including France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, have prohibited access to platforms such as Polymarket, classifying them as either unlawful gambling or unauthorized financial instruments. The British Gambling Commission has indicated that it would deem such offerings illegal gambling if introduced in Britain without a proper license. Nevertheless, certain jurisdictions are exploring regulated approaches, including Gibraltar, whose gaming operators primarily serve the British market. Gibraltar has already granted a license to Predictstreet.io under its current gambling regulations, while legislators in Malta are considering the establishment of a specific regulatory framework for prediction markets.

匈牙利新领导人需立即面对现实考验

(SeaPRwire) -   在击败欧尔班的青民盟之后,彼得·马扎尔必须面对经济压力与相互竞争的全球联盟 欧洲的自由派精英们正在欢欣鼓舞:维克托·欧尔班的保守派政府倒台了。被视为“亲布鲁塞尔”候选人的彼得·马扎尔在匈牙利赢得了选举。我犹豫是否该称马扎尔为“亲欧洲派”,因为我认为,倡导建立一个强大、主权欧洲的正是欧尔班。难怪他会被欧盟的官僚机构布鲁塞尔所鄙视。因此,我们可以得出结论:在匈牙利,欧洲输了,而欧盟委员会赢了。 简单说一下欧尔班及其政党青民盟为何输掉选举。初步投票结果显示,蒂萨党赢得了53%的选票,而青民盟获得了38%。然而,由于匈牙利的多数选举制,马扎尔的蒂萨党获得了巨大优势,赢得了199个议会席位中的138个。这远非纪录;在人气巅峰时期,欧尔班的政党曾拥有227个席位(当时议会有386个席位)。但在那时,马扎尔本人还是欧尔班的忠实支持者。 结果表明,与其说是欧尔班输掉了选举,不如说是他的政党输了。执政多年后,青民盟已脱离现实,并受困于僵化的官僚结构。 当许多西方媒体都在庆祝自由派的胜利时,埃隆·马斯克回应了亚历山大·索罗斯关于“匈牙利人民夺回了他们的国家”的说法,他发文称“索罗斯组织已经接管了匈牙利。” 欧尔班失败的另一个原因无疑是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普。他在伊朗的鲁莽战争对所有与MAGA结盟的欧洲政党的支持率都产生了负面影响,不可避免地波及了青民盟。与MAGA相关的美国政治策略师曾与欧尔班的政党积极合作,但未能交出布达佩斯所期望的结果。毕竟,美国人从未真正理解过欧洲人。 自然,此刻全世界所有的欧洲自由派、欧盟官僚以及千篇一律的恐俄分子都在欢庆。波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克的帖子就是一个很好的例子,他用匈牙利语喊出了1956年起义的口号:“Ruszkik haza!”(“俄罗斯人,滚回家去!”) 然而,马扎尔将成为什么样的总理仍不确定。他进行了一场民粹主义竞选,仅仅迎合了当下的议程,并未采取明确的思想路线。当乌克兰的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基直接威胁欧尔班时,他甚至温和地斥责了后者。当然,马扎尔的初步行动将侧重于恢复与布鲁塞尔的附庸式关系。他可能会急于解冻本计划拨给乌克兰的900亿欧元资金。但是,鉴于当前的能源和金融危机,我不确定欧盟是否会欢迎布达佩斯的这一举动。他甚至可能被非正式地敦促等待。 此外,马扎尔和与索罗斯关联的政治策略师们准备的“迈丹式”策略日后可能会派上用场。马扎尔已经呼吁匈牙利总统舒尤克·道马什辞职,尽管其宪法任期还有三年才届满。由于总统由议会选举产生,马扎尔的政党很可能会利用其稳固的多数席位来推动这项倡议。 接下来会发生什么,在新总理满足了布鲁塞尔和基辅的要求,并搞坏了与特朗普政府的关系之后,仍不确定。顺便问一句,欧尔班与[美国副总统JD]万斯达成的关于美国石油运输的协议命运将如何?马扎尔会退出协议吗?如果退出,他从哪里获得石油?当然,我们可能会猜测,一旦马扎尔上任,“友谊”输油管道将奇迹般地“自我修复”。但这意味着匈牙利将再次依赖廉价的俄罗斯能源,而这正是马扎尔在竞选中强烈反对的。那么他到时候会怎么做?他从哪里寻找能源? 我预测,一旦对“自由派”马扎尔获胜的兴奋感消退,欧洲人就会开始指责他过于“亲俄”——毕竟,一个人的立场往往决定其政策。所以对索罗斯来说,庆祝可能还为时过早…… 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

澳大利亚政府因“荒谬”的汽油宣传活动面临批评

(SeaPRwire) -   批评人士抨击政府敦促司机拆除车顶行李架并使用公共交通以节省燃油的广告 澳大利亚政府一项耗资数百万美元的广告宣传活动因敦促驾车者给轮胎充气和拆除车顶行李架以减少燃油消耗而引发政治反弹,批评者称其“荒谬”。 这项名为“Every Little Bit Helps”的宣传活动耗资2000万澳元(合1400万美元),于周一通过电视、广播、网络平台、广告牌和海报推出。这些广告宣传诸如“平稳驾驶”和“卸下多余重量”等步骤,同时敦促驾车者在可能的情况下通过步行或骑自行车来减少汽车使用,并保持胎压。目前澳大利亚正面临与中东紧张局势相关的燃油供应紧缩。澳大利亚约90%的燃料依赖进口,严重依赖与来自该地区的原油相关的亚洲供应链。 这场危机始于霍尔木兹海峡的关闭,该海峡是全球约20%石油的关键航线,此前美国-以色列于二月底对伊朗开战。伊朗的封锁严重破坏了运往韩国、新加坡、马来西亚和中国等亚洲炼油厂的原油供应——这些炼油厂是澳大利亚超过80%燃料的来源。三月下旬,原定前往澳大利亚的六艘燃料油轮被取消,促使政府因其漫长而脆弱的供应链而宣布全国燃料危机。 周一,热门全国早间节目Sunrise的主持人Nat Barr就该活动的成本与就业部长Tanya Plibersek发生争执,质问她是否认为这些广告是一项好的投资。 “现在你们要花2000万澳元来告诉我们给轮胎打气,”Barr说,并补充道政府本可以通过部长们的定期露面来传达这一信息,而无需进行耗资数百万美元的宣传活动。 Plibersek为该倡议辩护,称有必要反击关于澳大利亚燃料安全的错误信息。“这是一笔相当小的投资,旨在向人们提供关于我们国家燃料安全计划的可靠、可信、详细的信息,”她说,并将其与前一届政府花费3.4亿澳元在劳资关系广告上进行比较。 自由党副领袖Jane Hume表示,这笔钱本可以为大约10万辆汽车加满油。 该倡议源于澳大利亚的《国家燃料安全计划》,该计划于三月下旬获得国家内阁批准,以管理供应压力。这项四阶段计划在其当前的第二阶段(描述为“Keep Australia moving”)包含了公众意识措施。 一国党议员、前副总理Barnaby Joyce嘲笑该活动“荒谬”。 总理Anthony Albanese驳斥了广告浪费的说法,称它们将防止恐慌性购买并维持信心。政府表示澳大利亚已确保燃料供应至五月下旬。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Bruno Mars Solidifies Legacy on Las Vegas Strip

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Las Vegas Strip has hosted many grand displays over the years, but the tribute to Bruno Mars this past Friday will be remembered for years to come. Accompanied by showgirls and a cheering audience, Mars was officially recognized by the city he has helped transform over the last decade. Local leaders introduced a new street, Bruno Mars Drive, solidifying his status among the elite group of performers closely linked to Las Vegas. A Large Crowd of Fans Assembled for the Event Mars now ranks alongside legends like Elvis Presley, serving as a primary symbol of the modern music landscape in Vegas. While the Strip has always relied on star power to draw visitors, few contemporary artists have successfully merged residency triumphs with worldwide popularity as effectively as he has. The event took place alongside the kickoff of The Romantic Tour, Mars’ newest international tour, which began at Allegiant Stadium. Even so, his absence from the city will be brief. Having performed in Las Vegas for over 15 years, he has become a permanent fixture of the Strip’s entertainment scene and a core part of the city's character. It is a great honor, and I want to express my sincere gratitude for this recognition. I have a deep affection for this city. Bruno Mars Despite the extreme temperatures, hundreds of supporters showed up to honor Mars' career, proving his lasting appeal. The event also featured significant charitable acts. Mars donated $1 million to the Las Vegas Children’s Hospital, a contribution that MGM Resorts International matched. This act further solidified his connection to the local community, showing a bond that goes beyond his musical performances. Mars Addressed Speculation Regarding Gambling Debts Even with his immense success, Mars’ time in Las Vegas has been shadowed by persistent rumors. For years, claims have circulated regarding significant gambling debts, with some suggesting his residency was a way to settle those accounts. Both Mars and MGM have repeatedly refuted these claims, asserting that their professional relationship is strictly business-oriented and mutually advantageous. These rumors have not damaged Mars’ standing. During the festivities, the artist addressed the gossip with humor, once again stating that he carried no debt. His remarks echo previous social media posts where he poked fun at the alleged financial troubles. Such stories have become part of the lore that frequently follows stars who maintain long-term presences in Las Vegas. I don't owe anything. I settled my accounts with the casino a long time ago. Bruno Mars Mars’ status as a top-tier performer remains firm. Financial analysts estimate his concert revenue to be among the highest in the industry, comparable to the world's biggest touring acts. His partnership with MGM is considered one of the most lucrative residency deals in the city's history, as his performances continue to attract large audiences by mixing classic showmanship with contemporary stagecraft.

Poker Professional George Janssen Receives Three-Year Prison Sentence

(AsiaGameHub) -   George Janssen, a Michigan poker professional and four-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, has been sentenced to three years in prison, along with three years of supervised release, for his involvement in a $4 million auto loan scheme. He is also mandated to pay nearly a million dollars in restitution to his victims. Janssen Faces Three-Year Prison Term Janssen had previously attempted to link his auto loan scheme to a supposed kidnapping he asserted he endured. While the player was discovered zip-tied by a Michigan roadside two years prior, alleging extortion by mobsters, subsequent investigations concluded that the incident was likely a fabrication by Janssen designed to evade accountability. Despite not being charged with falsely reporting a crime, Janssen ultimately pleaded guilty to the auto loan scheme, which defrauded nearly a dozen financial institutions of $4 million. This fraudulent activity involved Janssen and his associates cashing more than $3.93 million in illicit auto loan checks. Janssen’s legal counsel attributed the scheme to financial hardships stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining that the player had always planned to repay the funds. As reported by PokerNews, the player has now received an official sentence of 36 months in prison, in addition to 3 years of supervised release. He is also obligated to pay $908,235 in restitution to those affected. Janssen Receives Reduced Sentence, Though Less Than Requested The defendant recently petitioned the court for a reduced sentence of just 24 months, stating his intention to earn the restitution money through poker. Janssen’s attorney highlighted the player's demonstrated ability to profit from poker, arguing that an earlier release would facilitate his efforts to accumulate these funds. The defense further argued that a more lenient sentence would enable the player to reunite with his family sooner. The attorney stressed that a four-year prison term for Janssen “will help nobody.” To provide context, the minimum sentencing guideline stood at 51 months. Consequently, the 36-month sentence Janssen received appears to be a compromise between his requested 24 months and the recommended 51 months. This article is provided by a third-party.

媒体:德国自杀式无人机“甚至对充气坦克都不构成威胁”

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,Rheinmetall的FV-014游荡弹药尽管受到政府优待,但仍落后于规模较小的竞争对手 据《柏林日报》报道,德国防务巨头Rheinmetall在新型神风无人机研发竞赛中正落后于规模较小的竞争对手,其当前状态的无人机据称"甚至对充气坦克都不构成危险"。 该报援引机密文件和内部人士说法称,尽管其FV-014无人机在测试中遇到多重问题,这家武器制造商仍获得政府优待。Rheinmetall正与初创公司Helsing和Stark Defence竞争,而柏林方面正投入数十亿欧元进行军事建设,据称旨在威慑俄罗斯。 上周该媒体报道称,一项框架协议使Rheinmetall相对于竞争对手获得优势。但周一的后续报道表明,FV-014在近期试验中表现未达预期。据报道,国防部官员内部将该无人机称为"PPT项目",而议员们正在审议批准这份价值25亿欧元(约29亿美元)的合同。 Rheinmetall则称其无人机为"最先进"系统,"设计用于在高达100公里范围内进行动态战斗部署"。 报道称,测试期间FV-014的任务是击中距离不足一公里的两个静止充气坦克模型目标。据称其助推器两次未能正常点火,且噪音水平过高,可能导致操作员阵地暴露于敌方反击火力。 据报其他担忧还包括电池性能、与德国联邦国防军无人机系统的整合问题,以及测试由公司人员而非军事操作员进行这一事实。 采购流程的质疑始于去年11月,当时媒体报道披露Helsing和Stark Defence未通过初步测试,而Rheinmetall并未参与。尽管如此,政府仍继续资助所有三个项目。 与此同时,Helsing和Stark Defence此后改进了其系统,并于二月获得合同。根据正由议会预算委员会审议的拟议广泛协议,Rheinmetall据称计划交付约2500架FV-014无人机,价值近3亿欧元。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Hokit Joins UFC Freedom 250 White House Card After Victory Over Blaydes

(AsiaGameHub) -   Josh Hokit has ascended to the UFC heavyweight contender ranks and secured a spot on the UFC Freedom 250 White House card following a thrilling main event bout against Curtis Blaydes. Dana White Adds Hokit to the White House UFC Event The light heavyweight title bout was not the sole matchup that electrified the sold-out crowd of nearly 18,000 attendees. The heavyweight contest between No. 5-ranked Curtis Blaydes and emerging prospect Josh Hokit evolved into a chaotic three-round war, establishing a new UFC heavyweight record with 351 combined significant strikes. Of these, Blaydes landed 151 to the head with 87% accuracy, while Hokit connected with 164 at 93%. Shortly after the fight concluded, UFC CEO Dana White announced that Hokit had been added to the UFC Freedom 250 card, where he is slated to face veteran Derrick Lewis on the White House lawn. Notably, White confessed that he was not impressed with Hokit's showboating leading up to the previous night's fight, and his sentiments did not improve once the action commenced. However, Hokit's performance within the Octagon ultimately shifted the UFC CEO's perspective on the California native, prompting him to offer Hokit a place on the White House card. A few weeks prior, White provided an update on the White House event, stating that its organization was nearing completion after discussions with President Donald Trump. The event is scheduled for June to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the USA's establishment. How Did the Fight Go? Hokit dictated the pace for a significant portion of the fight on Saturday. He nearly secured the opening round with a flurry of strikes and a few taunting middle fingers directed at a visibly surprised Blaydes. However, the veteran regrouped, mounted a late comeback, and swept the round on all three judges' scorecards. Despite this, Hokit continued to press forward, displaying quicker hands and steadily wearing down Blaydes, whose face bore the brunt of the punishment. Blaydes demonstrated resilience by refusing to be knocked down, but in doing so, he also contributed to a historic moment. Unofficially, the bout featured the most significant strikes ever thrown in a three-round UFC heavyweight fight, surpassing the previous record by nearly 40. What transpired was an unexpected war of attrition between two fighters typically known for their wrestling-heavy styles. Hokit, making his third appearance in the UFC, fought with the intensity of someone aiming for a career-defining victory. Meanwhile, Blaydes appeared to remain standing more out of pride and sheer stubbornness than any other reason. In related news concerning the White House UFC event, popular podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has recently voiced concerns that Iran might target the event in retaliation for the ongoing war, which has been active for several weeks.

Kick Reaches Over 100M Users, Founder Discusses the Obstacles to Get There

(AsiaGameHub) -   On April 10, 2026, Kick—the popular streaming platform with strong links to online casino Stake—announced that its livestreaming service had passed 100 million users just three years after its launch. At the same time, co-founder Bijan Tehrani took the chance to admit that some areas of the platform have not measured up. Kick Co-Founder Discusses the Milestone In a public letter to the Kick community, Tehrani shared his pride in the team’s progress toward hitting the 100 million user mark. However, he also conceded that this achievement was ultimately more of a superficial win, as the platform still hasn’t reached the standard it needs or should be at. Tehrani further explained that the platform has intentionally kept its beta label, noting that it was rushed to market with weak infrastructure, underdeveloped payment technology, and unreliable streaming. According to Tehrani, much of the past three years have been spent addressing and improving these gaps. Tehrani also pointed out that Kick has received significant financial support from his other business, Stake. He and fellow co-founder Eddie Craven have invested nearly $1 billion into Kick so far, he said. The entrepreneur identified Kick’s mobile app as an ongoing weak point for the company, adding that a full rebuild is currently in progress and he is personally overseeing the effort to ensure a far better user experience. Kick’s Creator Investment Strategy Has Shifted Tehrani commented on how the company now approaches deals with creators. He explained that in the early days, the platform offered massive contracts to high-profile streamers—such as the two-year agreement popular streamer xQc signed in June 2023, which was reported to be worth up to $100 million. While these moves gained a lot of attention and short-term growth, Tehrani said they were financially unsustainable long-term. The focus has since shifted away from these large contracts to strengthening the economic structure of the Kick Partner Program. Now, there’s an emphasis on rewarding creators who build authentic communities, Tehrani noted. Despite this, rumors surfaced in recent months that Kick had cut earnings from its partnership program, prompting an official response from Craven. Kick’s next phase includes a new recommendation feature currently available to around 10% of users. It’s designed to highlight authentic streamers based on genuine engagement rather than inflated metrics or internal preferences. Tehrani explained that Kick is pursuing this approach to become the best long-form streaming platform for authentic engagement and discovery. This article is provided by a third-party.

罗里·麦克尔罗伊母亲为他能打高尔夫球而夜班工作。现在他身价2亿美元,并两次获得高尔夫大师赛冠军

(SeaPRwire) -   罗里·麦克罗伊(Rory McIlroy)本周末连续第二年赢得美国大师赛(Masters),巩固了自己作为高尔夫界最知名人物的地位,身价估计达2亿美元。但他的出身要平凡得多。 他在北爱尔兰唐郡霍利伍德的一栋普通半独立式住宅中长大,父母为了成就他的人生,默默牺牲了自己的生活。母亲罗茜(Rosie)在班戈的3M工厂上夜班,负责包装胶带卷;父亲格里(Gerry)则身兼三份工作:早上清洁淋浴间,下午在霍利伍德高尔夫俱乐部(Holywood Golf Club)当酒保,晚上再回到体育俱乐部酒吧工作。据《泰晤士报》(The Times)报道,格里每周估计工作100小时。 “我认为他们灌输给我的东西中,职业道德是很重要的一点——我妈妈上夜班,”麦克罗伊在第90届美国大师赛的新闻发布会上说,“我爸爸做几份工作。我想这个房间里的大多数人都知道这一点。这对我来说很正常,这就是我的成长环境。” 这对夫妇几乎见不到面,而且十多年来没有度过一次家庭假期。 “我永远无法报答父母所做的一切,”麦克罗伊在2022年谈到父母时说,“但至少他们知道,他们再也不用工作了。我会尽一切努力照顾他们。” 牺牲铸就的梦想 麦克罗伊的父母被儿子早年对高尔夫的热爱所激励,努力帮助他追求梦想。 “他会坐在婴儿车里,手里拿着一根塑料高尔夫球杆,”罗茜告诉《泰晤士报》,“我们早上就是这样被叫醒的——被塑料高尔夫球杆敲头。” 由于只有一个孩子,麦克罗伊的父母想把全世界都给他。而给麦克罗伊这个机会,最终成就了他历史上最成功的高尔夫职业生涯之一。他不仅实现了大满贯(赢得四大高尔夫赛事:美国大师赛、美国公开赛、英国公开赛和PGA锦标赛),还在周日连续第二年赢得美国大师赛。 麦克罗伊再次赢得美国大师赛 周日,麦克罗伊在奥古斯塔国家俱乐部创造了历史,连续第二次赢得美国大师赛冠军,与泰格·伍兹(Tiger Woods)、杰克·尼克劳斯(Jack Nicklaus)和尼克·法尔多(Nick Faldo)一起成为仅有的连续获得绿夹克的高尔夫球手。 麦克罗伊在第三轮从六杆领先的优势中失误,陷入平局,随后在周日的最后阶段重整旗鼓,以低于标准杆12杆的成绩结束比赛,获得了450万美元的冠军奖金。2025年,他赢得了420万美元。 在2025年夺冠后,麦克罗伊说:“我为自己从不放弃而自豪。我为自己不断卷土重来、振作起来,不让失望真正影响到我而自豪。” 麦克罗伊的身价是多少? 如今,麦克罗伊的净资产估计超过2亿美元,有些报道甚至高达2.94亿美元。 仅在PGA巡回赛上,他的职业生涯奖金就已超过1.1亿美元,历史排名第二,仅次于泰格·伍兹。周日以低于标准杆11杆获得亚军的斯科蒂·舍夫勒(Scottie Scheffler)是高尔夫界1亿美元俱乐部的第三位成员。 除了球场上的收入,麦克罗伊每年通过代言协议和股权获得约4000万至5000万美元的收入,其中包括价值约5000万美元的PGA Tour Enterprises股权授予(逐步归属)。《福布斯》(Forbes)在2025年5月将他列为全球收入最高的运动员之一。 改写纪录的工人阶级孩子 麦克罗伊现在36岁,与妻子埃里卡·斯托尔(Erica Stoll)和女儿波比(Poppy)一起居住在萨里郡的温特沃斯。 他从霍利伍德那个需要父母牺牲一切的害羞孩子,成长为那种罕见的、真正记得这一切的冠军。 “即使到今天,他们也是这个世界上我可以无话不谈的两个人,”据美联社(Associated Press)报道,麦克罗伊在2014年说,“我找不到比他们更好的父母了。” 今年,他的母亲罗茜亲眼目睹儿子第二次赢得美国大师赛,同时她还随身带着一个定制手提包,上面印着2025年宣布他完成职业生涯大满贯的报纸文章。 罗里的妈妈今天用了一个手提包,上面印着去年宣布他职业生涯大满贯的报纸文章 😭 pic.twitter.com/leafNNuhGD— 克莱尔·罗杰斯(@kclairerogers)2026年4月13日 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   人工智能已迅速成为当下定义性的技术——它承诺从治愈疾病到让太空旅行更常规等种种突破,同时也引发了大规模就业中断的担忧。但卡拉·斯威舍并不相信这项技术能不负众望。 在她最近的播客节目《On with Kara Swisher》中,这位资深科技记者认为,人工智能可能正触及天花板——不仅仅是因为技术限制,还因为人类的抵制。 “人类不喜欢它,”她直白地解释道。 “归根结底,[AI]感觉像是一个Twinkie蛋糕。尝起来也像Twinkie。我不知道他们能否让它尝起来像苹果,如果这说得通的话。我不知道他们能不能做到。” 卡拉·斯威舍称,Z世代正对AI产生反感,因他们看穿了其“虚假”和“表演性” 随着情绪,尤其是年轻人中的情绪开始恶化,AI公司的发展道路已经变得更加陡峭。沃尔顿家族基金会的一项新调查发现,只有18%的Z世代对使用AI感到充满希望,低于前一年的27%。近三分之一的受访者表示,这项技术让他们感到愤怒。 “我认为人们正更快地转向真实,而非虚假和表演。我知道,从我的孩子们身上,我能看到这一点。我在文化中也能看到,”斯威舍补充道。“人们渴望社区、人与人之间的联系以及类似的东西。” 这种怀疑并非抽象。它正日益与工作场所的现实发生碰撞,在那里,AI不仅被用作生产力工具,也被用作重组——在某些情况下是裁员的理由。对于许多年轻员工来说,这种转变已将AI从一个遥远的技术承诺变成了更为紧迫的东西:对他们渴望起步的职业构成威胁。 作为回应,一些年轻人已经开始转向更“防AI”的职业道路,包括技术性工种,这些工作更不易受自动化影响。这种转变超越了职业——年轻人也在减少重度依赖屏幕的习惯,用末日刷屏和电子游戏来交换棋盘游戏、手动挡汽车和黑胶唱片,因为他们在一个日益数字化的世界中寻求更具体、离线的体验。 随着科技公司准备以AI之名裁员,Z世代正看在眼里 今年早些时候,支付公司Block成为以AI之名进行大规模裁员的典型代表——将其员工人数从超过10,000人削减了近一半,降至不到6,000人。 “我们已经看到,我们正在创造和使用的情报工具,加上更小、更扁平的团队,正在促成一种全新的工作方式,这从根本上改变了构建和运营公司的含义,”Block首席执行官杰克·多尔西在X上写道。 在Amazon,首席执行官安迪·贾西去年也类似地表示,生成式AI可能会减少某些职位的需求。 “我们将需要更少的人来做今天正在做的某些工作,而需要更多的人来做其他类型的工作,”他在2025年6月给Amazon员工的一封信中写道。“很难确切知道长期来看最终结果如何,但在未来几年,我们预计这将减少我们的公司总员工数,因为我们在公司广泛使用AI获得了效率提升。” 该公司随后在秋季裁掉了14,000名员工,但贾西将裁员归因于文化不匹配,称其“并非真正由AI驱动,至少目前不是”。 对于受影响的员工来说,这种区分可能无关紧要。AI可能不是裁员的唯一驱动因素,但结合年轻工人失业率上升的情况,仅这种看法就正在重塑Z世代对未来的思考方式。根据沃尔顿家族基金会的调查,近一半(48%)的人表示AI在工作场所的风险大于其益处——高于一年前的37%。 长期的讽刺可能很尖锐。一个因自动化而被掏空的劳动力,也是一个因失业而被掏空的消费者群体——并且对这项技术心怀不满。那些争相用AI取代工人的公司,最终可能会发现愿意或能够购买他们产品的人越来越少。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Virginia Governor Vetoes Bill to Legalize Skill Games

(AsiaGameHub) -   Governor Abigail Spanberger has turned down Senate Bill 661. US.- Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has vetoed Senate Bill 661, a bill that aimed to legalize electronic skill gaming devices in the state. She noted that SB 661 would put strain on an already disjointed system and introduce more machines without a full regulatory framework. The governor referenced data collected by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) during the period when skill games were legally allowed to operate in the state between 2020 and 2021. She said this data shows a concentration of machines in communities with higher percentages of residents living below the poverty line, belonging to minority groups, or having lower education levels. She stated in a release: “The lack of a centralized regulatory body for gaming creates gaps in oversight that threaten the Commonwealth of Virginia’s ability to enforce rules consistently, prevent illegal activity, and protect all consumers. Right now, legalizing skill gaming and bringing more of these machines into our communities would overburden an already fragmented system. Legalizing these machines at this moment would also reward operators who knowingly ignored state law for years and set a troubling precedent for how business is conducted in Virginia. “Moving forward, I will continue to have discussions with the General Assembly about how to ensure any expansion of legal gaming in Virginia prioritizes the well-being of all our communities.” Governor Abigail Spanberger.

曼彻斯特慈善家麦肯齐捐赠70万美元,助力养活超过2百万人每年

(SeaPRwire) -   尽管亿万富翁们因未能履行慈善承诺而受到批评,但有一个人脱颖而出:麦肯齐·斯科特。她正将数十亿美元投入教育、公共卫生和环境领域——如今,她又拨出部分资金,用于帮助和支持数百万美国人。 斯科特最近向Meals on Wheels America捐赠了7000万美元的无限制捐款,该慈善机构每年为超过200万美国老年人和居家不便人士提供餐食、社交联系和安全检查。 该机构于上周五宣布了斯科特的捐赠,并补充说,她的捐款正值当地三分之一的Meals on Wheels服务提供商存在等候名单之时,老年公民平均需要等待四个月才能获得餐食和服务。 斯科特7000万美元的捐赠只是她自2020年以来260亿美元慈善捐赠热潮中的一小部分。这位亚马逊早期员工、杰夫·贝佐斯的前妻,身价高达411亿美元,正在改写亿万富翁慈善事业的规则。 斯科特7000万美元捐赠将如何支持美国孤寂老人 得益于斯科特的最新投资,Meals on Wheels表示,它可以更专注于长期"加强网络能力"的机会,并为本地服务提供商提供更多资源。 Meals on Wheels目前支持超过5000个与老年人饥饿和孤独相关的社区项目。该组织表示,斯科特的捐赠将产生真正的影响,但这并不能完全满足国家日益增长的需求——它希望她的捐赠能激励其他人提供支持。 "我们将深思熟虑且负责任地管理这笔投资,以帮助产生规模经济和影响力,从而加强本地服务提供商的能力,使他们能够为更多老年人提供餐食、联系和关怀,"Meals on Wheels America的首席发展和营销官克里斯汀·坦普林在一份声明中表示。 "最终,成功意味着更多老年人能够获得他们所需的支持,以过上更有营养、更独立和更健康的生活。" 斯科特260亿美元捐赠使她成为超级富豪慈善的代表人物 斯科特不仅仅是在捐赠数百万美元以应对美国的饥饿和孤独问题——她的基金会Yield Giving自2020年以来一直在悄无声息地捐赠数十亿美元,且不附加任何条件。 不到一周前,斯科特向明尼苏达部落学院Red Lake Nation College捐赠了700万美元;就在几周前,有消息透露斯科特已向美国历史上的黑人学院和大学之一的Elizabeth City State University捐赠了4200万美元。这笔捐款使她达到了一个新的里程碑:她向HBCUs的捐赠总额突破了10亿美元大关。自2020年以来,她一直在大力支持这些学校;这位56岁的慈善家已向Xavier University捐赠2000万美元,向Morehouse College捐赠2000万美元,向Howard University捐赠8000万美元,并向Spelman College捐赠3800万美元,等等。 这位超级慈善家还向Habitat for Humanity捐赠了令人瞠目的4.36亿美元无限制赠款:这是一个旨在帮助缓解住房危机的全球非营利组织。此外,她还投资于气候行动,向决心终止热带森林砍伐的Forests, People, Climate (FPC)合作组织捐赠了9000万美元。甚至连Girl Scouts of the USA也从斯科特那里获得了约8450万美元,用于支持女孩的领导力和项目规划。 根据《福布斯》今年早些时候的分析,这位慈善家仅在2025年就捐出了高达72亿美元的巨款,被评为全球第三大最慷慨的慈善家,已捐出其净资产的46%。相比之下,《福布斯》还估计,贝佐斯和他的妻子劳伦·桑切斯·贝佐斯一生中仅捐赠了47亿美元。总的来说,她的慈善工具Yield Giving总计为她完成了超过2700笔捐赠,总额达260亿美元——但她支票的金额仅仅是她撼动亿万富翁慈善事业的方式之一。 值得注意的是,慈善专家告诉媒体,斯科特通过其"隐形捐赠"实践与众不同:将无限制资金直接捐赠给非营利组织,信任它们能够按照自己的判断处理资金。她直接反对"高度技术官僚化"的捐赠方式,这种方式被许多备受关注的亿万富翁效仿,比如比尔·盖茨——各组织都迫切想知道是否会有其他人效仿她的做法。 "我认为她是一个潮流引领者,并且在某种程度上是对盖茨以往方式的一种道德平衡,"政策研究所慈善改革倡议副主任贝拉·德万去年告诉媒体。"我确实认为这不仅仅是一种趋势,而是在将普遍观念转向基于信任的慈善事业。"本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

宾夕法尼亚州费城, 2026年4月13日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.(“Datavault AI”或“公司”) (纳斯达克代码:DVLT),一家专注于数据变现、身份认证、数字互动及现实世界资产(“RWA”)通证化技术的供应商,今日宣布其专有的迷因币组合及RWA通证套件即将登陆全球中心化加密货币交易所Biconomy(“Biconomy”)。即将推出的代币发行将依托Biconomy在东南亚的成熟业务布局及强大的国际基础设施,面向亚洲市场,其中将包含以下由Datavault AI独家发行的资产:• Dream Bowl I 迷因币——Datavault AI与第十四届Dream Bowl相关的纪念性数字收藏品(此前已于2025年12月11日公布)• Dream Bowl II 迷因币——与NFL校友健康组织合作发行的后续股东分红代币(此前已于2025年12月29日公布)• Josh Gibson 迷因币——与Josh Gibson基金会合作开发的、基于NIL(姓名、形象和肖像权)的纪念性数字收藏品,旨在致敬棒球传奇人物Josh Gibson(此前已于2026年2月20日公布)• 专有RWA稳定币——包含精选RWA资产该计划旨在为Datavault AI的社区驱动型迷因资产及其机构级代币化产品提供流动性并实现广泛分发。值得注意的是,与Datavault AI此前宣布的、与Triton Geothermal LLC达成的数百万美元代币化服务协议相关的TRITON代币(此前于2025年11月17日发布),目前已在Biconomy上线并活跃交易(访问地址:biconomy.com/exchange/TRITON_USDT)。如先前披露,Datavault AI 作为 Triton 的独家技术提供商,负责其经美国能源部认证的地热能源资产的 RWA 数字化、估值及结构化变现工作。公司将获得与 Triton 计划中的 1.25 亿美元数字代币发行相关的最高 800 万美元代币化费用,并持续分享 Triton 在发行后收取的所有数字代币交易费用的 5%。TRITON 在 Biconomy 上的活跃交易,彰显了 Datavault AI 代币化流程从协议签署到二级市场流动性实现的实际进展——随着更多资产接入 Biconomy 并最终接入 Datavault 信息数据交换平台,公司预计其更广泛的迷因币、RWA 稳定币及智能合约代币组合也将遵循这一路径。Biconomy 成立于 2019 年,服务于 180 多个国家的 1000 多万用户和机构,其交易量始终位列全球交易所前 20-30 名,日均交易量在 20 亿至 28 亿美元之间。该平台提供数百种交易对,并保持行业领先的安全性,98% 的资产存放在冷钱包中。该举措推动了Datavault AI在“Datavault AI信息数据交换平台”上的开发工作,该平台将由纳斯达克金融框架提供技术支持。通过利用Biconomy久经考验的流动性、用户基础及在亚洲市场的领导地位,该公司正致力于加强代币采用率、流动性深度以及合规的跨境分发——这些都是构建可扩展、机构级数字资产基础设施的基础要素。Datavault AI首席执行官Nathaniel T. Bradley表示:“在Biconomy上的这些上线对我们的迷因币投资组合和RWA生态系统而言是一个重要的里程碑。此次推出的资产将与我们的专利产品Information Data Exchange®、International Elements Exchange™(IEE)、专注于体育领域的国际NIL交易所以及American Political Exchange™(APE)形成互补。我们预计,所有这些平台都将受益于Biconomy庞大的日交易量及其针对亚洲市场的覆盖,从而为我们的代币发行和不断扩展的迷因币投资组合策略带来可观的流动性并加速其采用。”关于 Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI TM(纳斯达克股票代码:DVLT)在 Web 3.0 环境中引领着人工智能驱动的数据体验、资产估值及变现领域。该公司基于云的平台提供全面的解决方案,其声学科学和数据科学部门致力于协作创新。Datavault AI 的声学科学部门拥有 WiSA®、ADIO® 和 Sumerian® 等专利技术,以及业界首创的基础性空间和多通道无线高清音频传输技术,其知识产权涵盖音频时序、同步及多通道干扰消除等领域。数据科学部门则利用 Web 3.0 和高性能计算的优势,提供体验式数据感知、估值及安全变现的解决方案。Datavault AI的平台服务于多个行业,包括为体育与娱乐、活动与场馆、生物技术、教育、金融科技、房地产、医疗保健、能源等领域提供高性能计算软件授权。Information Data Exchange® 通过将物理实体安全地关联至不可篡改的元数据,支持数字孪生技术以及姓名、肖像和形象的授权,从而促进诚信且负责任的人工智能发展。该公司的技术套件完全可定制,提供基于人工智能和机器学习的自动化、第三方集成、详细分析与数据、营销自动化以及广告监测等功能。该公司总部位于宾夕法尼亚州费城。如需了解更多关于 Datavault AI 的信息,请访问 https://datavaultsite.com。前瞻性陈述本新闻稿包含关于 Datavault AI Inc.(以下简称“Datavault AI”、“本公司”、“我们”或“我们的”)及其所处行业的“前瞻性陈述”(定义见经修订的《1995 年私人证券诉讼改革法案》及其他证券法律),其中涉及风险和不确定性。在某些情况下,您可以通过以下词语识别前瞻性陈述,例如“可能”、“或许”、“将”、“应”、“应当”、“预期”、“计划”、“预计”、“可能”、“意图”、“目标”、 “预计”、“考虑”、“相信”、“估计”、“预测”、“潜在”、“目标”、“宗旨”、“寻求”、“可能”、“即将”或“继续”等词语,或这些词语的否定形式,或其他涉及本公司预期、战略、计划或意图的类似术语或表述。未使用这些词语并不意味着相关陈述不属于前瞻性陈述。此类前瞻性陈述包括但不限于:关于未来事件的陈述;本公司迷因币投资组合及RWA代币套件在Biconomy上市的预期收益,包括预期流动性、交易量、代币采用率以及在亚洲及国际市场的分销情况;本公司对其更广泛的数字资产投资组合(包括未来发行的迷因币)的预期, 实物资产(RWA)稳定币及其他代币化产品将逐步接入Biconomy平台;TRITON代币及在Biconomy上市的其他Datavault AI数字资产的预期交易表现、流动性和交易量; 本公司根据先前披露的《代币化服务协议》,持续参与Triton Geothermal LLC收取的交易费;IDE的预期开发、发布及商业化进程,包括其预计时间表、功能及机构级能力; IDE及其相关交易所的预期推出、运营及商业表现;利用Biconomy的用户基础、日交易量、流动性基础设施及亚洲市场影响力,以推动本公司代币发行及扩展迷因投资组合策略的采用与分发的预期效益;以及本公司的商业策略、长期目标和商业化计划,必然基于某些估计和假设。尽管本公司及其管理层认为这些估计和假设是合理的,但它们本质上存在不确定性。由于各种风险和不确定性,包括但不限于以下内容,实际结果可能与这些前瞻性陈述所指明的结果存在重大差异:与本公司能否实现Biconomy上市预期效益相关的风险,包括预期流动性、交易量及代币采用率;与Biconomy的上市安排可能无法在亚洲或国际市场实现预期市场渗透率或分销范围的风险; 与 TRITON 代币、Dream Bowl I、Dream Bowl II、Josh Gibson Coin、RWA 稳定币及其他 Datavault AI 数字资产在 Biconomy 平台上的交易表现、流动性和市场价格相关的风险,包括交易量可能无法达到预期的风险;与本公司能否在预期时间内(或根本无法)成功开发、推出并运营 IDE(包括其关联交易所)相关的风险; 本公司交易所平台可能无法达到预期交易量、用户采用率或收入水平的风险;与数字资产市场(包括迷因币市场)的波动性和不可预测性相关的风险,该市场可能出现与本公司运营表现无关的重大价格波动;与本公司依赖第三方平台(包括Biconomy)进行数字资产上市、交易和托管相关的风险; Triton Geothermal LLC 可能无法完成其计划中的数字代币发行,或本公司可能无法获得预期的代币化费用或交易手续费分成; 针对数字资产、加密货币交易所或跨境代币分发的监管变化可能对 Datavault AI 所运营的市场产生负面影响的风险;与美国、东南亚及其他司法管辖区适用于代币化资产的不断演变的监管框架相关的风险;市场对 Datavault AI 服务及产品的需求变化;经济、市场或监管环境的变化; 与技术开发和整合相关的风险;以及Datavault AI向美国证券交易委员会(“SEC”)提交的文件中更详细描述的其他风险和不确定性,包括其截至2025年12月31日的10-K表格年度报告,以及Datavault AI不时向SEC提交的其他文件。请注意,切勿过度依赖这些前瞻性陈述,因其仅反映截至本文件发布之日的情况。Datavault AI 没有义务更新本新闻稿中作出的任何前瞻性陈述,以反映本新闻稿发布日期之后的事件或情况,或反映新信息或意外事件的发生,除非法律另有要求。Datavault AI 可能无法实际实现其前瞻性陈述中披露的计划、意图或预期,您不应过度依赖此类前瞻性陈述。Datavault AI 的前瞻性陈述未反映其未来可能进行的任何收购、合并、处置、合资或投资所带来的潜在影响。媒体联系marketing@dvlt.ai投资者联系Edward Barger投资者关系副总裁ir@dvlt.ai(503) 615-7700来源:Datavault AI Inc Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Tan Sin Heng Daniel Appointed as CEO of Singapore’s Gaming Regulator

(AsiaGameHub) -   Singapore’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) has announced a leadership change, with Tan Sin Heng Daniel appointed as its new Chief Executive Officer. He will assume responsibility for leading the regulatory body. This appointment follows the Ministry of Home Affairs' confirmation of current GRA CEO Teo Chun Ching’s decision to step down from his position. Teo Chun Ching to Depart, Tan Sin Heng Daniel Appointed as Successor According to the recent announcement, Teo Chun Ching will exit the GRA in June, vacating the CEO role. This marks the conclusion of his 8-year tenure with the authority, during which he oversaw the expansion of its mandate from a casino regulator to an overarching gambling regulator for the entire country. The Ministry of Home Affairs extended its gratitude to the outgoing CEO for his significant contributions to the GRA and commended his leadership, which supported the organization throughout the modernization of Singapore’s gaming sector. As Teo Chun Ching prepares for his departure, Tan Sin Heng Daniel has been named as his successor. This appointment comes shortly after the Ministry designated Wee Teck as the new chair of GRA. Tan's Notable Contributions to Road Safety Currently serving as commander of the Singapore Police Force’s Traffic Police unit, Tan has spearheaded various legal reforms to enhance road safety in the country. He championed major revisions to the demerit points system and adjustments to speed limits for heavy vehicles, contributing to a reduction in road incidents. The Ministry of Home Affairs expressed its pleasure in welcoming Tan as CEO of the GRA. It highlighted some of his prior achievements as commander of the Traffic Police, which included the introduction of modern Electric Vehicle Expressway Patrol cars and the utilization of artificial intelligence for improved detection of traffic violations. Additionally, Tan has held several roles within the Ministry of Home Affairs, including deputy commissioner of policy and transformation for the Singapore Prison Service, director of planning and organization for the Singapore Police Force, and commander of the Central Division of the SPF.

Kansas sports betting revenue rises year-over-year in March

(AsiaGameHub) -   Year-over-year revenue rose by 67.5 percent. United States – The Kansas Lottery has announced that the state’s sports betting revenue reached $13.4 million in March.

Out of this total, $228 million was wagered online, while $4.1 million was placed at retail venues. DraftKings dominated the online segment with an $82 million handle and $5.9 million in revenue.

Powerball’s $45M Jackpot Up for Grabs Tonight

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Powerball jackpot went unclaimed after Saturday’s draw and has continued to climb as tonight’s drawing draws near. With just a few hours left before the winning numbers are selected, participants are waiting anxiously to see if any of them will take home the $45 million jackpot. Powerball Jackpot Unclaimed After Saturday Drawing, Ticket Holder Wins $2.2M Prize The Powerball jackpot has kept growing because no player managed to match all six winning numbers in the draw held on Saturday, April 11. This result is not particularly surprising, though, as the last jackpot was awarded just a small number of draws ago. For context, the winning numbers for the April 11 draw were 6, 47, 49, 53, and 60, plus the red Powerball number 6. The Power Play multiplier for that draw was 2x. Had any player successfully matched all six winning numbers, they would have received a $36 million windfall ($16.4 million if they opted for the one-time lump sum payment option). While that outcome did not come to pass, one ticket holder from California came very close, matching all five white numbers and only missing the Powerball. As a result, they qualified for the Match 5 prize of $1 million. However, under the California Lottery’s pari-mutuel regulations, the winner will take home $2.2 million instead. Meanwhile, a total of fifteen players matched four white numbers plus the Powerball, with nine of these winners earning $50,000 each. The remaining six will take home $100,000 apiece, thanks to the Power Play feature they activated on their tickets. Since Powerball’s top prize was not claimed in the last draw, it has now reached $45 million for tonight’s drawing. The lump sum cash value of the current jackpot is estimated at $20.5 million. Delaware Ticket Holder Claimed the Most Recent Top Jackpot The previous Powerball jackpot was won just a few draws back, when a lucky player in Delaware matched all six winning numbers to take home a life-changing $231 million prize. Additionally, that same series of draws awarded a $2 million prize on March 5 to a Texas resident who had the Power Play feature active. In other lottery news, the Nary Lim Living Trust of Lowell recently won an impressive $4 million top prize from one of the Massachusetts Lottery’s scratch-off games. What makes this win notable is that it was the last remaining top prize for the $4,000,000 Gold 50X game. The win became even more noteworthy when a representative for the winning trust chose the annuity payment option instead of the lump sum payout. This article is provided by a third-party.

The AI fraud battles: Slotegrator reveals to operators how to counterattack in a new report

(AsiaGameHub) -   The company’s latest downloadable report details strategies for igaming operators to defend their platforms against the latest wave of AI-driven fraudulent activity. Press release.- AI has become a ubiquitous tool for professionals across all sectors, including sales, law, and content creation—and, regrettably, cybercrime. Slotegrator’s new report outlines how igaming brands can safeguard their operations against the emerging threat of AI-enabled fraud. Online sportsbooks and casinos have long been primary targets for malicious actors. Fraudsters frequently exploit welcome bonuses and promotional offers as a means to illicitly obtain funds. Many justify this behavior as a victimless act, viewing themselves not as criminals, but as modern-day Robin Hoods manipulating a rigged system. In the era of artificial intelligence, scammers have gained access to sophisticated new weaponry. While many operators have historically depended on rigorous KYC protocols to filter out threats, even advanced liveness detection can be bypassed by high-quality deepfakes. Furthermore, synthetic identities—fabricated profiles constructed from stolen personal data sourced from the dark web—pose a significant challenge. These represent only the known methods. As the industry develops better detection for deepfakes, criminals will inevitably pivot to new tactics. Operators often only identify these emerging threats after the damage is done. Ultimately, one must operate under the assumption that initial security measures may be compromised. As the fraud landscape evolves, so too must your defensive strategies. As cybercriminals leverage AI to bypass identity verification and expand their operations, it is imperative to prioritize AI-driven security solutions. These tools are no longer optional; they are critical infrastructure. The scale and complexity of modern threats facing casinos and sportsbooks exceed the processing capabilities of human teams alone. Slotegrator COO Olga Ivanchik stated: “Survival of the fittest will ultimately dictate the market. Brands that embrace this new reality by adopting AI-powered tools will endure, while those clinging to outdated methods will likely be overwhelmed by the same threats.” AI is already being utilized for adaptive UX, real-time marketing, predictive LTV modeling, and risk management. Slotegrator’s new report argues that it is time to elevate these tools, enabling operators to detect and mitigate threats with the necessary speed and precision. Slotegrator’s report provides a comprehensive analysis of the risks facing online casinos and offers a guide to the defensive tools available to combat them.
