超微创始人因被控25亿美元芯片走私被捕后,超微展开内部调查

(SeaPRwire) -   在联邦起诉书指控 Supermicro 的一名联合创始人策划将价值 25 亿美元、配备了 Nvidia 备受推崇的 GPU 的服务器违规运往中国(违反了出口管制)之后,两名 Supermicro 董事会成员正带头进行一项内部调查。 此次独立调查是在两年前一名董事会独立董事此前对 Supermicro 进行调查并发现“没有证据表明管理层或董事会存在欺诈或不当行为”之后进行的。Supermicro 正面临投资者的审查,他们担心其合规问题和声誉风险可能会损害其与市值 4 万亿美元的芯片制造商 Nvidia 的关系,后者为 Supermicro 提供用于客户采购订单的芯片。 该公司周二宣布,董事会最新任命的独立领导人 Scott Angel 正与审计委员会主席 Tally Liu 共同负责这项最新调查。有关调查的细节很少,但董事会已聘请 Munger, Tolles & Olson 律师事务所为独立董事提供咨询。Munger, Tolles & Olson 引入了咨询公司 AlixPartners 提供法务会计和审计专业知识。该公司表示,这两家公司将与 Supermicro 的审计师 BDO USA 合作,并将“直接向” Angel 和 Liu 报告调查结果。 美国司法部上个月起诉了 Supermicro 联合创始人廖益贤(Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw)及另外两人,指控他们涉嫌在 2024 年和 2025 年密谋将 Supermicro 服务器运往一家未具名的东南亚公司,以此作为中国真实买家的掩护。据称,廖益贤、张瑞灿(Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang)和孙廷伟(Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun)安排将数千台伪造的复制服务器存放在仓库中,以欺骗负责核实技术未落入错误之手的政府审计人员。据称,该小组在东南亚现场组织了一个团队来安装数千台伪造服务器,甚至还安排了该团队的伙食和面包车运输。起诉书称,这三人为了实施这一诡计费尽心机,包括使用吹风机撕掉包装标签,然后将其重新贴在数千台伪造的复制服务器上。 在起诉书指控的期间,廖益贤是董事会成员兼高级管理人员。他于 1993 年与首席执行官兼董事长梁见后(Charles Liang)以及梁见后的妻子兼联合创始人 Sara Liu 共同创立了该公司。(Supermicro 证实 Sara Liu 与 Tally Liu 没有亲戚关系。)Supermicro 未在起诉书中被点名,并表示正在配合政府调查。 廖益贤在 2018 年 2 月退休,此前曾发生过第三次由董事会主导的调查,该调查与 Nasdaq 退市以及 SEC 对其会计业务的调查有关,最终 Supermicro 与监管机构达成和解并支付了 1750 万美元。随后,廖益贤于 2020 年 6 月至 2021 年 4 月在法国服务器公司 2CRSi 担任总裁,之后于 2021 年 5 月以顾问身份回到 Supermicro。他于 2022 年 8 月成为全职高管,并于 2023 年 12 月重新被任命为董事会成员。他在被捕后的第二天,即 3 月 20 日,辞去了董事会职务。 据当局称,廖益贤和孙廷伟拒不认罪,而张瑞灿目前仍在逃。Supermicro 首席执行官梁见后告诉投资者,公司本身也是这一阴谋的受害者。 “我们的内部审查和独立董事的调查正按照我们的承诺进行,以确保我们的技术在最高水平的道德和法律审查下得到处理,”梁见后在周二的一份声明中表示。 2024 年内部调查未发现规避出口管制的证据 Supermicro 上一次进行董事会主导的独立调查是在 2024 年,此前其前任审计师 Ernst & Young 在审计中途突然辞职。EY 在辞职信中表示,它无法再信任 Supermicro 的管理层。 随后,由于未能按时提交经审计的财务报表,Supermicro 面临从 Nasdaq 退市的风险,董事会任命了当时最新的董事 Susie Giordano 担任一人特别委员会进行调查。Giordano 在 2024 年与 Cooley 律师事务所和法务会计公司 Secretariat Advisors 合作。Giordano 审查了 2017 年调查后“于 2018 年辞职”的员工的重新聘用情况、与防止向受限国家销售或转运相关的出口管制事项,以及季度末前后的当前销售和收入确认惯例。 该委员会审查了 11 笔出口交易,并且“没有看到任何证据表明公司内部有人试图规避出口管制条例或限制,也没有证据表明公司内部有人意识到其任何产品可能会被转运给受禁的最终用户或地点。”该委员会未发现有产品在“违反产品发运时有效的出口管制或制裁法律”的情况下出售给俄罗斯客户或运往俄罗斯。向投资者披露的有关 2024 年调查的信息中并未提及中国。 根据该独立调查的结果,委员会确定 Supermicro 的首席财务官 David Weigand 应由一位“在大型上市公司担任高级财务专业人士且拥有丰富经验的新首席财务官”接替。Weigand 目前仍担任首席财务官。委员会的其他建议包括任命一名总法律顾问并扩大法律部门、任命一名首席合规官和一名首席会计官。 在开展最新董事会调查的同时,Supermicro 还宣布已启动对其全球贸易合规计划的内部审查,由总法律顾问 Yitai Hu 领导。该公司表示,所有调查结果将直接向独立董事报告。 Angel 在 Deloitte 从事审计和鉴证工作 37 年(其中包括在硅谷工作的 20 多年)后,于 2025 年 3 月加入董事会。Liu 在从供应链解决方案公司 Wintec Industries 的首席执行官职位退休后,于 2019 年加入董事会。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。

Malta simplifies igaming tax framework

(AsiaGameHub) -   Gaming operators based in Malta are set to face adjustments to their VAT and gaming tax obligations later this year. Malta.- The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the Malta Tax and Customs Administration (MTCA) have unveiled updates to the nation’s gaming tax and value-added tax (VAT) structures. These regulatory updates are scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2026. Established via Legal Notices 84 and 86 of 2026, the revisions aim to establish a more transparent and consistent tax environment for businesses, while bolstering Malta’s appeal and competitive edge as a hub for igaming, according to the MGA. Concerning VAT, amendments to the VAT Act (Cap. 406 of the Laws of Malta) will refine the scope of current VAT exemptions for gambling providers, with a focus on sports betting and specific casino products. This includes providing clearer guidance on how place of supply regulations pertain to these services. The MGA stated that the objective is to ensure the principle of taxation at the place of consumption is properly upheld. The regulator noted that defining the exemption will create a “natural right of recovery of eligible input VAT costs, providing for a fair and simple mechanism for the protection of the neutrality of VAT for gaming operators,” a change finalized after industry consultation. Simultaneously, the gaming tax framework is being updated under the Gaming Tax Regulations (Subsidiary Legislation 583.10) pursuant to the Gaming Act (Cap. 583 of the Laws of Malta). The MGA highlighted that key updates include simplified and fair gaming tax rates for both online and land-based operators serving players in Malta, alongside the merger of the current gaming tax and gaming device levy into a unified, streamlined tax structure categorized by game type and delivery method. “This reconfiguration of the gaming tax framework is specifically designed to ensure a well-balanced overall impact on Malta’s gaming services sector, and shall apply exclusively to gaming services provided within the territory of Malta,” the MGA stated. The authority added: “Taken together, these coordinated reforms represent a measured and forward‑looking policy response that strengthens Malta’s fiscal resilience, regulatory clarity and international standing as a leading gaming jurisdiction. They provide operators with greater certainty and efficiency, while ensuring Malta remains a stable and competitive base for gaming businesses.” Regulators plan to issue further guidance in the near future to assist with the transition and ensure operational clarity. In other developments, the government is assessing the potential regulation of prediction markets within Malta. Economy Minister Silvio Schembri indicated that the nation is exploring the development of a dedicated regulatory framework for the industry to determine whether such platforms should be classified as financial products or gambling. He noted that the sector is experiencing significant global growth and offers substantial potential for innovation. This article is provided by a third-party.

Nolimit City Introduces Punk Rocker 3

(AsiaGameHub) -   Nolimit City has unveiled a brand-new slot game that transports players to the streets of Berlin, offering a taste of the city's vibrant street culture and the chance to win prizes. Titled Punk Rocker 3, this latest addition is the newest installment in a popular franchise. Punk Rocker 3 Metrics Rows: 3 Reels: 6 Paylines: 729 RTP: 96.04% / 94.08% / 92.05% Volatility: Extremely High Min/max bet: 0.20/100 Max win: 19,089x Punk Rocker 3 Offers Some Proper Chaos Nolimit City's latest offering allows players to dive into a world of exhilarating chaos. As its name suggests, Punk Rocker 3 harnesses the rebellious spirit of punk rock to deliver thrilling gaming experiences. The game's ambiance is enhanced by graffiti-covered walls and music that perfectly captures the essence of punk rock. Beyond its immersive atmosphere, the slot is packed with features designed to appeal to a wide range of digital slot enthusiasts, even those not particularly drawn to the punk genre. A Feature-Packed Experience Players will immediately notice the Enhancer Train positioned above the reels and the Wild Queue below. At the commencement of each round, up to three random wilds can appear in the Wild Queue, featuring multipliers that range from 1x to an impressive 1,000x. Wilds remain in the queue if a win occurs, facilitating subsequent wins. The Crew Call feature can also introduce three Wilds to the Wild Queue. Players have the option to increase their bet through the Bonus Booster, Punk Spins 100x, Punker Spins 1,000x, or Punkest Spins 10,000x options, which guarantee the appearance of a Wild symbol in the Wild Queue. The Fraternal Kiss mechanic is activated once cascades conclude and at least one Wild is present on the reel or in the Wild Queue. When this occurs, all standard paying symbols and Wilds within the reel area and Wild Queue are removed, and a Wild representing the sum of all removed Wilds is then added to the reel area. The aforementioned Enhancer Train is linked to the Enhancers feature. Enhancers are activated exclusively when a Wild is positioned beneath them. Upon activation, players can trigger the Wild Adder, Multiplier, or Wild Cloner features. During the bonus game, Enhancers can also award additional free spins. Specifically, three Bonus symbols trigger 6 Blitzkrieg spins, initiating the core gameplay. Within this bonus round, all Wilds on the reels are collected in the Wild Queue. Should players land four Bonus symbols, they will instead trigger 8 Die Wende spins, which incorporate all the features of Blitzkrieg spins along with opportunities to benefit from the special xQuake Enhancer. Finally, landing five Bonus symbols grants players 10 Mauerfall Spins. These spins combine all the features of the lower-tier bonuses, plus the potential for a Mega Multiplier with values of 50x, 60x, 70x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 300x, or 1,000x to appear in the Enhancer Train. The Best Things Come in Threes Per Lindeheimer, Nolimit City’s head of product, shared his thoughts on the new release, stating that the original Punk Rocker game was instrumental in establishing the company's unique identity. Consequently, developing a third installment in the series was a straightforward decision for the Nolimit City team. Lindeheimer extended an invitation to players to experience Punk Rocker 3, remarking: “Gather the crew, join the queue for a wild night, share a kiss with your mates, and let the Enhancer Train go wild. Punk Rocker 3 is all about letting loose in Europe’s Punk Grunge Capital.” This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

Fire Erupts on the Roof of Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Milwaukee

(AsiaGameHub) -   A fire ignited in an HVAC unit connected to the Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Milwaukee on Monday, April 6, producing a significant column of smoke. The casino was able to reopen to the public later that same day following a comprehensive inspection by the fire department. Witnesses Describe the Incident Footage and images from various news teams depicted a large, dark plume of smoke ascending into the sky. Lindsay and Shawn Baumhardt were patrons inside the casino when the fire started. According to Shawn, the initial sign was an unusual smell. He compared the smell to that of a burning electrical cord one might detect in their house. The scent was initially weak, but after approximately five minutes, security personnel started directing everyone to evacuate immediately. The couple reported that smoke began accumulating near the main entrance shortly after. Lindsay noted that the smoke inside intensified rapidly, creating a hazy, foggy atmosphere. They were in the process of cashing out when the evacuation order was given. News of the fire also spread quickly on social media, as numerous local residents saw the smoke plume and posted about it on X (formerly Twitter). One user posted: “Potawatomi Hotel & Casino is currently on fire! Multiple fire trucks and police arriving right now. Check on your people. Stay safe Milwaukee.” Another individual commented that they observed substantial smoke pouring from the building as they passed by. How Did the Fire Happen? The blaze started just before noon on Monday within the HVAC system located on the casino's roof. A full evacuation of guests and employees was swiftly carried out. By around 12:15 pm, the majority of the smoke had dissipated. This incident represented an actual emergency, in contrast to a false bomb threat made against the Park West Bicycle Casino and Hotel in Bell Gardens several months prior. In a statement on Facebook, the Potawatomi Casino Hotel indicated that the fire was likely the result of a failure in the property's boiler system. The casino explained that this malfunction caused a fire, leading to the evacuation of the entire casino facility. It was clarified that the hotel runs on an independent system and was not subject to evacuation at that point. The Milwaukee fire department promptly contained the situation. There were no reports of injuries. Potawatomi Casino Hotel officials confirmed that the damage was limited to the HVAC system. The casino maintains a functional backup HVAC system, and the hotel, utilizing a separate system, was untouched by the fire. This article is provided by a third-party.

比尔·阿克曼 640 亿美元投资环球音乐集团,这是他成为下一个沃伦·巴菲特战略的一部分

(SeaPRwire) -   亿万富翁投资者 Bill Ackman 旗下的对冲基金 Pershing Square Capital 正计划收购全球最大的音乐集团 Universal Music Group (UMG),该集团旗下拥有包括 Taylor Swift、Bad Bunny、Bob Dylan 和 the Beatles 在内的艺人。  周二宣布的这项价值 640 亿美元的计划是 Ackman 将 Pershing 打造为“现代版” Berkshire Hathaway 并成为下一个 Warren Buffett 的最新举措。据 Bloomberg 报道,Pershing 目前控制着 UMG 超过 10% 的股份。该交易将使 UMG 与 Ackman 的 Pershing Square SPARC Holdings 合并为一个联合实体,并于今年年底前在纽约证券交易所上市。  “该公司的管理层在培养和持续打造世界级艺人阵容以及创造强劲业务表现方面做得非常出色,”Ackman 在一份声明中表示。“然而,由于一系列与音乐业务表现无关的问题,UMG 的股价一直萎靡不振,重要的是,所有这些问题都可以通过这次交易得到解决。” 此举发生在 Pershing 申请在纽约证券交易所上市几周后,标志着 Ackman 在美国上市的最新尝试。该对冲基金的市值为 112.7 亿美元,管理资产规模为 280 亿美元,Ackman 本人的身价为 81.3 亿美元。  Ackman 自称是“Buffett 的信徒”,他正追随偶像的脚步,试图收购 UMG。IPO 以及与 UMG 的联合上市将有助于 Pershing 获得“永久资本”,这是 Buffett 投资策略的关键部分。作为一家对冲基金,投资者可以按季度或按年度撤资,这要求基金经理必须持有现金,并面临不得不出售持仓的风险。在 IPO 之后,Pershing 将能够在其封闭式基金中获得无法被直接撤回的资本;投资者必须转而在公开市场上出售其股份。  Pershing 拒绝就该提议发表进一步评论。Universal Music Group 没有立即回应置评请求。  “在别人恐惧时贪婪” 几十年来一直慷慨分享投资建议的 Buffett 以其最著名的一条建议而闻名:“在别人恐惧时贪婪,在别人贪婪时恐惧。”  通过这笔交易,Ackman 似乎正在遵循这一建议。在公告发布之前,在阿姆斯特丹泛欧交易所交易的 UMG 股票今年以来下跌了约 22%。今天,该股交易价格为 19.06 欧元(22.06 美元),上涨了约 2 欧元(2.32 美元)。  Pershing 在推介公告中列出了他们认为的 UMG 的弱点,解释称推迟在美交易所上市、资产负债表利用不足、股东投资者关系不佳以及沟通不畅是该公司“表现不佳”的原因。 Buffett 在 1988 年购买 Coca-Cola 股票的经历,对于 Ackman 试图对 Universal Music Group 采取的行动具有启发意义。在 1987 年“黑色星期一”崩盘后,Buffett 果断买入 Coca-Cola,在许多投资者对其失去信心时建立了 13 亿美元的头寸。正如 Buffett 看到 Coca-Cola 无与伦比的品牌护城河和定价能力是市场暂时定价错误的优势一样,Ackman 押注 UMG 在音乐行业的持久地位代表了一项不可替代的投资,将回报耐心资本。 这不是 Ackman 第一次遵循 Buffett 的建议利用廉价股票获利,Ackman 也曾呼吁其他人这样做。上个月,Ackman 在 X 上发帖告诉投资者,不要再纠结于伊朗战争,去购买 Fannie Mae 和 Freddie Mac 的股票,这两家政府赞助的企业旨在支撑抵押贷款市场。  “世界上一些最高质量的企业正以极低的价格交易,”Ackman 在帖子中写道。“忽略主流媒体。这是历史上最不对称的战争之一,将以对美国和世界都有利的方式结束。我们有可能获得巨大的和平红利。” 第二天开盘时,Fannie Mae 的股价攀升了多达 41%,Freddie Mac 飙升了多达 34%,这是这两只股票自 2025 年 5 月以来的最大单日涨幅。此前有报道称,Ackman 的推文是股价飙升的唯一明显驱动因素。 从过去吸取教训 Ackman 对 UMG 的博弈需要公司投资者的信心,而他过去在这方面曾表现不足。在经历了一系列失误后,他未能说服 Pershing 自己的投资者支持该公司在 2024 年实现 250 亿美元的 IPO 目标。Ackman 向投资者淡化了 IPO 风险,并辩称该公司可以实现相对于其资产净值的“持续溢价”,这违反了该基金的监管招股说明书。  此举极具灾难性,以至于 Pershing 不得不“否认”Ackman 的言论,在接下来的一周里,Ackman 将筹款目标从 250 亿美元削减至 40 亿美元,再到 20 亿美元,最后完全推迟了 IPO。  随着该对冲基金的最新尝试,Ackman 调低了他的预期,目标是筹集 50 亿至 100 亿美元。他改变了策略,试图让封闭式基金和 Pershing 的母公司同时上市。为了鼓励投资者,他们每购买 100 股封闭式基金,将自动获得 20 股免费的 Pershing Square Capital Management 股份。  这种做法与 Ackman 过去那种不顾一切的交易方式有所不同。2016 年,尽管外界对 Valeant Pharmaceuticals 激进的药品提价和误导性的 SEC 披露批评不断,Ackman 仍坚持支持这家曾经的投资宠儿。Ackman 最终改变了立场并卖出了股票,但在此之前已导致 Pershing 损失了 32 亿美元。  Ackman 还以对对手毫不留情的态度而闻名。2012 年,他开始针对销售减肥奶昔和维生素的 Herbalife 发起做空运动。Ackman 指责该公司非法经营且属于“金字塔骗局”,并试图在五年内打压该公司的股价。最终,Ackman 止损离场,Pershing 抛售了所有股票。    2024 年,也就是这场纠纷结束六年后,Ackman 对 Herbalife 股价跌至 14 年低点感到欣慰。  “对于我对 Herbalife 的心理做空来说,这是非常美好的一天,”Ackman 在纠纷发生六年后在 X 上的一篇帖子中写道。“对于全世界看到最大的金字塔骗局之一破产来说,这也是更美好的一天。”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。

Poll indicates New Jersey voters against casino expansion beyond Atlantic City

(AsiaGameHub) -   A study conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University indicates that public sentiment regarding casinos in New Jersey has remained consistent. According to a Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) poll, voters in New Jersey are opposed to any expansion of casinos beyond Atlantic City. Such an expansion would necessitate a constitutional amendment, requiring voter approval through a referendum. The most recent survey reveals that opinions are largely unchanged from previous polls. Approximately 44 percent of respondents indicated they would support allowing casinos outside of Atlantic City. This figure is comparable to the 42 percent recorded in 2014 and 41 percent in 2016. The poll also found that opposition is slightly more pronounced in areas near Atlantic City, particularly around the Meadowlands. In a 2016 referendum concerning the expansion of casinos in New Jersey, 77 percent of voters cast their ballots against the proposal, with 23 percent in favor. Dan Cassino, a professor of government and politics at Fairleigh Dickinson University and the executive director of the FDU Poll, commented: “Voters have already made up their minds on casino expansion. Without a significant shift in circumstances, presenting the issue to voters again will likely yield the same result as before. The only notable change since the last attempt is the opening of more casinos in New York. While this is important to those seeking to establish new casinos, it doesn't appear to be a significant factor for the voters.” Last year, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy expressed openness to the idea of permitting casinos at racetracks in the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park as a means to compete with new casinos in New York.

Jody Demling Backs a Long Shot in His Kentucky Derby Picks

(AsiaGameHub) -   Each year, horse racing enthusiasts across the globe eagerly await key insights to figure out which contenders have the best shot at claiming the Triple Crown and its individual races. One of the leading sources for such information is Jody Demling, a renowned handicapper who has consistently been among the most searched names online to help horse racing fans decide which horses to back. The Kentucky Derby is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Churchill Downs, and Demling already has some thoughts on the matter. Demling Has Doubts About a Former Favorite A major surprise in Demling’s latest odds assessment is that he’s less confident in Chief Wallabee, who was widely seen as one of the strongest contenders for the title. Demling’s reasoning is that, despite a strong start this year, the horse has since faced increasingly tough competition—making him think he might have rushed to name Chief Wallabee an early favorite. More contenders have emerged, and while Chief Wallabee is still expected to finish in the top tier of the Kentucky Derby, Demling isn’t as confident as he once was. In his typical style, Demling has now “dropped” one of the favorites and replaced it—perhaps unsurprisingly—with a dark horse: Renegade. Renegade is a significant long shot with current odds of +1300, but the horse has already won two races in a row. Even Top Oddsmakers Urge Caution The question remains whether Renegade can keep up this winning streak, and more importantly, perform well in the Kentucky Derby. In the meantime, more Kentucky Derby news continues to surface. Mike Battaglia, the race’s legendary oddsmaker, has retired ahead of the 152nd running of the event. He’s a remarkable handicapper who picked the favorite in 39 out of 51 races and holds one of the most impressive prediction records. Even Battaglia, though, argues there’s no such thing as a sure thing and warns against excessive betting on the Kentucky Derby. This article is provided by a third-party.

Dutch Gambling Regulator Issues Warning to Unlicensed Bingo Operator

(AsiaGameHub) -   The KSA has notified operators of the strict regulations governing the provision of bingo without a valid licence in the Netherlands. The Netherlands.- The Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has issued a warning to a company for running unlicensed bingo events under the Bingo Loco brand. According to the KSA, Legs Eleven Limited has hosted unauthorised bingo gatherings at venues including Maassilo in Rotterdam and Complex in Maastricht. The regulator has sent warnings both to the event organiser and the Maassilo venue. It stated that these events are classified as games of chance that do not fall under the legal exemptions for bingo, and are thus prohibited. The KSA noted that it had communicated with all involved parties, leading to adjustments to the events. The bingo draws have been substituted with a music quiz, so they no longer violate gambling laws. “Bingo games may only be organised without a licence if strict conditions are met,” the KSA emphasised. For instance, the organiser must be a Dutch association that has been in operation for at least three years and was not founded to host games of chance. All proceeds must also go to a pre-announced charitable cause. “In addition, maximum prize limits apply: €400 per individual prize and €1,550 in total per event. The bingo event must also be reported to the local municipality ahead of its scheduled date.” The KSA stated that the Bingo Loco events did not satisfy these requirements, as they were large-scale public events of a commercial nature that offered prizes to attendees. “The KSA monitors compliance with gambling regulations and takes action against illegal gambling offerings. When gambling activities are organised without a licence, the KSA can carry out enforcement measures, for example by issuing a penalty payment order, levying an administrative fine, or confiscating related materials and prizes,” the regulator said. Last week, the KSA released two new research reports and issued supplementary guidance on meeting the duty of care obligations for online gambling licensees in the Netherlands. These documents offer practical insights and provide clarification on personal interviews and the process of submitting notifications for registration in the Central Register for Exclusion from Gambling (Cruks).

Potential links between medication and gambling raise concerns

(AsiaGameHub) -   A report has connected dopamine agonists to a rise in gambling behavior. UK.- A BBC investigation has highlighted concerns over a potential connection between gambling addiction and a specific category of medication. The Global Story explored a lesser-known possible effect of dopamine agonists, a group of drugs that imitate dopamine to stimulate its brain receptors, which are prescribed for Parkinson’s disease and depression. BBC reporter Noel Titheradge has dedicated years to investigating the unintended side effects of these drugs. An early case he examined involved a French man who took legal action against a drugmaker, alleging he was never informed of the risks associated with his prescription. Titheradge stated the man developed hypersexuality that ended his relationship, as well as compulsive gambling that led to significant financial losses. Titheradge subsequently interviewed approximately 350 individuals who reported similar adverse effects. He detailed the story of Sharlene, a 52-year-old from Massachusetts, who started a dopamine agonist regimen for depression in 2016. She subsequently began exhibiting reckless driving, compulsive spending, and later, shoplifting. The report indicated that dopamine agonists were initially celebrated as a major advancement for Parkinson's patients, as they circumvented the limitations of previous treatments. However, research by the early 2000s showed that serious side effects affected up to one in six patients, and some experts believe the rate may be as high as one in three. These medications continue to be prescribed extensively because they can significantly enhance the quality of life for those with Parkinson's. Information leaflets now carry warnings, but numerous patients allege that doctors minimize these risks. This situation has resulted in lawsuits for negligence, although pharmaceutical firms maintain that the potential dangers are properly disclosed. This article is provided by a third-party.

UK regulator ends investigation into KPMG’s audit of Entain’s financial statements

(AsiaGameHub) -   The FRC has stated that no enforcement action will be pursued. UK.- The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has concluded its investigation into KPMG's audit of Entain's 2022 financial statements. The regulator confirmed it would not impose any penalties regarding its review of the London-listed gambling firm's results. Initiated in 2024, the FRC's inquiry assessed whether KPMG had sufficiently evaluated risks associated with Entain's previous Turkish business, Headlong Limited. These concerns originated from compliance issues related to the company's operations between 2011 and 2017, when the company operated under the name GVC Holdings. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) began a probe in 2019, which resulted in a £615 million deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the Crown Prosecution Service in 2023. Entain's 2022 accounts, released in February 2023, showed an 11 percent increase in net gaming revenue, boosted by the FIFA World Cup, and upgraded its 2023 EBITDA forecast to between £985 million and £995 million. In an official statement, the FRC commented: “Having reviewed the evidence obtained in the investigation, and having considered all relevant factors, the FRC’s Executive Counsel has decided not to bring Enforcement Action… Accordingly, the case has been closed.” KPMG UK expressed its satisfaction with the conclusion. Although this investigation has concluded without any measures being taken, the legal fallout from Entain's activities in Turkey continues for individuals allegedly involved. Former CEO Kenny Alexander, who departed in July 2020, and former chairman Lee Feldman, who stepped down in March 2019, along with other parties, are scheduled to face trial at Southwark Crown Court in February 2028. The charges against them include fraud, bribery, and perverting the course of justice. Entain has seen a series of leadership changes since Alexander's departure. Shay Segev served as CEO for only six months before exiting to lead DAZN. Jette Nygaard-Andersen subsequently held the CEO role until December 2023, after which Stella David provided interim leadership, followed by a brief period with Gavin Isaacs, before David returned as the permanent CEO in April 2025.

SBC Summit Malta to Explore Emerging Trends in Casino Evolution

(AsiaGameHub) -   The event will address how operators can leverage AI and maximize innovations to enhance their casino strategies. Press release.- As emerging technologies and evolving player expectations continue to transform the igaming landscape, SBC Summit Malta will include sessions aimed at helping stakeholders confidently guide the industry into its next era. Scheduled for 29-30 April, the summit's conference programme will provide 6,000 industry professionals with an in-depth examination of how operators can convert new trends and technologies into practical and competitive casino strategies. The programme is structured in two parts. Product Visionaries, on Wednesday, 29th April, will delve into the strategic rationale behind recent casino innovations. Product In Practice, on Thursday, 30th April, will transition to interactive workshops, enabling delegates to transform these concepts into actionable plans. Discussions will address crucial subjects including the growth of crypto casinos, the future of slot and casino content, and methods for casino operators to achieve high visibility in AI search results. Rasmus Sojmark, founder and CEO of SBC, stated: “Innovation in casino is not merely about introducing new features; it's about creating experiences that players genuinely want to revisit. Operators must be much more intentional in their product development, from content and user experience to AI and payments. These sessions are designed to assist them in making more intelligent decisions more quickly.” The session, ‘Casino vs Sports: Can Gamification Truly Cross Over?’, will analyze the application of gamification in both casino and sports betting, and consider the potential for cross-pollination between the two sectors. Experts Alex Tomic (Founder, Alea), Brian Christner (Chief Online Gaming, Grand Casino Baden), Alexis Wicén (CEO, Unibo), Mykhailo Kachanov (CBDO, Slot Catalogue), and Shahar Attias (Founder, Hybrid Interaction) will deconstruct the prominent mechanics in each area and evaluate which are most adaptable. The panel will also investigate whether gamification is effectively fostering player loyalty and engagement, or if it is merely benefiting from industry buzz. The subsequent panel, ‘Casino Product Innovation & Content: The Future of Slots’, will then focus on the evolution of slot design towards more immersive and socially oriented experiences. Experts Janick Bonnici (Principal Gaming Content Manager, Betsson Group), Steve Cutler (CEO and co-founder, KALAMBA), Petr Vonarshenko (Senior Business Development Manager, ELA Games) and Arjan Korstjens (Principal, Casino Marketing Academy) will investigate how branded collaborations and release tactics are altering player expectations. The conversation will also consider if slots can progress from individual games to communal entertainment experiences that encourage player retention. The second day will pivot from theory to practice, featuring a sequence of workshops intended to aid participants in developing and improving their own casino strategies. ‘What Will Casinos Look Like in 2036?’ will initiate a forward-thinking, Ask-Me-Anything-style dialogue on the future of the casino industry. Facilitated by Arjan Korstjens (Principal, Casino Marketing Academy) and Dan Phillips (CEO, NEL Advisory), the workshop will consider potential shifts in player behavior, product innovation, and operator strategy over the coming ten years. Covering everything from AI-powered game creation to potentially disruptive new mechanics, this participant-driven session will provide a candid perspective on the possible direction of the casino sector and how operators can get ready today. With AI changing how players find brands, the ‘The Future of Casino Search is Vertical’ workshop will deliver actionable advice on boosting operator visibility and clout in AI-driven search. Under the guidance of Ionut Constantinescu (CEO of Marlin Media), the session will explain the transition from search rankings to personalized recommendations, and the implications for operators seeking to attract attention in an increasingly automated, AI-dominated landscape. In addition to its casino-centric agenda, SBC Summit Malta will also offer dedicated tracks covering marketing, regulation, and product, plus two workshop rooms. These rooms will host sessions on topics including policy & PR, European markets, affiliation, and leadership. This article is provided by a third-party.

美国议员称人类已与外星人接触

(SeaPRwire) -   田纳西州共和党众议员蒂姆·伯切特表示,外星生命对人类不构成威胁 美国国会议员蒂姆·伯切特声称,外星人曾乘坐超凡的飞行器造访我们的星球,并与人类进行了接触,他引用了未具名的政府官员的说法。 近年来,由于联邦政府支持五角大楼的全领域异常现象解析办公室(AARO),并为飞行员和公众建立了报告目击事件的渠道,美国对UFO及相关现象的兴趣日益增长。 “他们提供了具体细节,提供了地址,提供了时间和日期,以及参加会议的人员,” 伯切特在周一接受TMZ直播采访时说。“而且这件事一直上报到了前任总统的行政部门,不是现任总统。” 在回答主持人的提问时,这位61岁的国会议员强调,这些说法既指“非地球的生命”,也指“非地球的机械装置”。 伯切特还表示,他不认为外星生命会对人类构成威胁。“我不认为我们因此处于危险之中。我的意思是,如果这些东西如我所想确实存在,它们本可以眨眼间就摧毁我们,但我没看到这种情况,”他强调说。 在一周前接受Newsmax采访时,这位议员还警告说,公布有关所谓外星人遭遇的机密信息可能会动摇公众信心。 “我几乎接受过所有情报机构的简报,如果他们公布我所看到的内容,你会整夜为此担忧,”他说。 蒂姆·伯切特已成为推动公开不明空中现象(UAPs)和不明飞行物(UFOs)相关文件的主要倡导者,致力于推动政府提高透明度。 他指控包括NASA在内的多个机构一直在对他们所知道的事情“撒谎”,并声称许多关于此主题的文件仍未公开。 今年二月,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布计划命令战争部及其他机构,由于“巨大的兴趣”,将发布与UAPs和UFOs相关的政府文件。 此后不久,美国战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯证实,美国公众将了解到他的部门是否持有证明外星人存在的记录,但同时告诫不要期待迅速公布。 2024年3月,五角大楼表示,没有证据表明任何不明空中现象实际上是外星技术,并补充说许多案例涉及气象气球、间谍飞机、卫星和其他常规活动。 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。

Morongo Casino Teams Up with Ontario Tower Buzzers and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes

(AsiaGameHub) -   The casino resort has entered into sponsorship agreements with the baseball clubs. US.- California's Morongo Casino Resort Spa is now the presenting sponsor for the Ontario Tower Buzzers and has secured the field-naming rights at the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes' Epicenter Stadium. The stadium's field will now be known as "Morongo Field at the Epicentre." Morongo Tribal Chairman Charles Martin stated: "Baseball, as America's pastime, has a unique ability to unite people. We are delighted to partner with the Ontario Tower Buzzers and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes to honor this tradition and provide fresh chances for Inland Empire families to experience the thrill of the game." Mike Bean, CEO of Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, continued: "The Morongo Casino Resort Spa brand is founded on providing outstanding guest experiences focused on entertainment, excitement, and creating lasting memories.

法国面临严峻燃料短缺

(SeaPRwire) -   法国近五分之一的加油站至少有一种汽油断供 法国能源事务部长级代表莫德·布雷容表示,法国各地加油站的短缺情况正在恶化,约18%的加油站至少有一种燃料售罄。由于中东战事扰动推高了全球能源成本,在价格上限措施的背景下,燃油需求有所上升。 布雷容周二称,能源巨头TotalEnergies运营的站点供应中断情况最为突出,该公司将油价上限设在低于市场水平的位置,吸引了更多客流,因此受影响的加油站中多数都是TotalEnergies旗下站点。 Total表示,4月其无铅汽油的价格上限维持在每升1.99欧元(合2.30美元),同时将柴油价格上限上调至2.25欧元,使其更接近市场水平。该公司此前曾警告,自3月中旬以来,其全网络站点的客流量大幅攀升,称存在“局部供应紧张”情况,柴油供应紧张的问题尤为突出。 有关部门称,问题的诱因是假期配送放缓相关的物流问题,而非全国性供应短缺,并称大多数加油站将在未来几天内完成补库。 不过,柴油和汽油价格上涨推高了企业和家庭的成本,引发了法国部分地区的抗议活动。卡车司机和建筑公司在南特周边设置了路障,科西嘉岛的渔民则封锁了港口。这一抗议态势让人联想到2018-2019年“黄背心”运动期间爆发的大范围燃油价格抗议活动。 美以对伊朗的战争给全球能源市场带来了额外压力,推高了油价,也增加了全球消费者的燃油成本。这场冲突实际上阻碍了霍尔木兹海峡的通航,这条关键航道承担着全球约五分之一的石油供应量运输。 自乌克兰冲突升级后,欧盟决定切断与俄罗斯的能源联系,加之绿色转型政策带来的成本,欧盟一直忙于应对相关后续影响。 欧盟委员会表示,不会恢复进口俄罗斯能源,将继续推进到2027年全面淘汰俄罗斯化石燃料的计划。不过本月早些时候,欧盟暂停了全面禁止进口俄罗斯石油的计划,据报道,部分官员称原因是“当前地缘局势变化”。 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。

Kalshi Secures Victory in Legal Fight Against New Jersey Regulators

(AsiaGameHub) -   A federal appeals court has delivered Kalshi a significant legal win, heightening tensions between state gambling regulators and prediction platforms. In a 2–1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit decided that New Jersey cannot bar Kalshi from providing sports-related event contracts to its in-state users. The panel determined these products fall exclusively under the purview of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). New Jersey Asserted Its Jurisdiction Over All Types of Sports Betting The ongoing conflict revolves around whether sports prediction markets qualify as financial trading or merely sports betting in another form. Kalshi has long stood by the former argument. Its users can trade contracts linked to everything from elections to sporting events, and the company maintains these are “event contracts”—a type of derivative overseen by the CFTC. New Jersey regulators held a contrasting view. The state issued a cease-and-desist order in 2025, claiming Kalshi was offering unlicensed sports betting, including wagers that violated state law. This conflict sparked a legal dispute that has now reached a critical juncture. With similar challenges unfolding in other states, the court’s decision could set a precedent. Judge David Porter, one of the two judges who sided with Kalshi, concluded federal law likely takes precedence over state authority in this area. Since Kalshi’s contracts qualify as swaps traded on a CFTC-regulated exchange, oversight rests solely with the federal agency. This interpretation significantly limits how states can intervene—even on matters like sports, which are traditionally regulated at the state level. The Wider Legal Conflict Is Far From Resolved Not all judges agreed. Judge Jane Richards Roth, the sole dissenter, argued Kalshi’s offerings were nearly identical to conventional sports betting and should face the same regulations as bookmakers. State authorities share this concern, fearing the situation could create a regulatory gap—allowing users to access betting-like products without the safeguards typically required in licensed markets. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour praised the decision, calling it a win for users and the broader prediction market sector. The CFTC also supported this stance, emphasizing Congress granted it exclusive authority over trading on regulated exchanges. The federal agency even recently filed a lawsuit against Arizona, Illinois, and Connecticut over their attempts to control prediction markets. Congress gave the ​CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over trades ⁠on DCMs, and this decision affirms the goals of Congress. Brooke Nethercott, CFTC spokesperson Despite their defeat, New Jersey authorities are not ready to concede. They are exploring options like a rehearing before the full appellate court. Judges in several other jurisdictions have also taken a more skeptical stance toward prediction markets. Experts say the matter will almost certainly reach the Supreme Court within the next few years for a final resolution. This article is provided by a third-party.

Maryland committee makes no vote on online casino regulation proposal The Maryland Senate Budget and Taxation Committee recently held a hearing on a proposal to allow online casino and bingo gaming in the state. The hearing ended without a vote. Senator Ron Watson‘s Senate Bill 885 would make regulation the responsibility of the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission. Licences could be issued to video lottery operators or sports wagering licensees. This article is provided by a third-party.

法拉奇的改革英国党呼吁对要求奴隶制赔偿的国家实施签证禁令

(SeaPRwire) -   该党内政发言人表示,在伦敦承认已接收来自要求赔偿国家的380万人后,“够了就是够了” 奈杰尔·法拉奇领导的Reform UK将停止向任何要求英国支付奴隶制赔偿的国家公民发放签证,该党内政发言人宣布,并将这些赔偿要求斥为“侮辱性的。” 在接受The Telegraph采访时,齐亚·优素福表示,越来越多的国家正因英国在跨大西洋奴隶贸易中的历史角色寻求赔偿,但却忽视了英国“做出了巨大牺牲,成为第一个取缔奴隶制并执行这一禁令的主要大国。” 优素福对过去二十年里,历届保守党和工党政府向要求赔偿国家的民众发放了380万份签证,并向这些国家提供了66亿英镑(约合87亿美元)的外援表示愤慨。 根据Reform提出的“赔偿锁定(Reparations Lock)”方案,英国将停止向任何正式要求赔偿的国家公民发放所有新签证,包括工作、学习、家庭和访问签证。该党已承诺停止向这些国家提供外援。 “英国不是解决过去种族冤情的自动取款机,我们不再容忍在世界舞台上被嘲笑,”优素福说,并强调“够了就是够了。” 他的此番言论是在联合国大会上月通过一项决议之后发表的,该决议宣布跨大西洋奴隶贸易是“最严重的反人类罪。”这项由加纳提出的议案敦促各国考虑道歉并向赔偿基金捐款。该议案以123票赞成获得通过,其中包括俄罗斯和中国。美国、以色列和阿根廷投了反对票,而英国是52个弃权国家之一。 至少有17个国家向英国提出了赔偿要求,包括巴哈马、巴巴多斯、多米尼克、格林纳达、海地、牙买加、特立尼达和多巴哥,以及加纳、肯尼亚、尼日利亚和伯利兹。 国际法院前法官2023年的一份报告得出结论,仅英国就欠14个加勒比国家超过24万亿美元的赔偿——这一数额几乎是英国经济规模的7倍。该研究称,其中近9.6万亿美元应支付给牙买加。 英国政府此前已排除支付赔偿的可能性,财政大臣蕾切尔·里夫斯表示该国“负担不起”所要求的金额。保守党反对党也将赔偿描述为“骗局。” 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。
