Mississippi’s Online Sports Betting Efforts Remain Stalled for Third Consecutive Year

(AsiaGameHub) -   Discussions in Mississippi over legalizing online sports betting have once again hit an impasse. For the third year in a row, the Mississippi House has passed bills to introduce mobile wagering in the Magnolia State, only to see the Senate block them as usual. Though most observers believe Mississippi online sports betting is inevitable, any legislation faces major hurdles. Supporters Contend That Online Betting Is Already Occurring Legislators in the House contend that mobile betting is already occurring in Mississippi via unlicensed offshore sites that provide no benefit to the state's economy. Advocates for legalization further argue that oversight is needed to guarantee proper safeguards for consumers and help Mississippi align with other states. Representative Casey Eure, the sponsor of this year's legislation, emphasized the tangible advantages of legalization. He said that regulated platforms would create a safe marketplace and increase state income. Eure's initial bill permitted casinos to collaborate with several online partners, whereas his alternative measure limited such partnerships while proposing to reduce casino taxes from 8% to 6%. Financial benefits served as a primary justification for legalization. Advocates said the additional revenue could bolster the state's Public Employees' Retirement System and fund other public initiatives. They reasoned that since online sports betting is already widespread, the state should collect those tax revenues and allocate them wisely. Opposition from Current Casinos Stays Firm Even with efforts to address concerns, opposition is still strong. Numerous senators regard the existing casino industry as a vital economic engine for the Gulf Coast and Mississippi River region. These establishments create thousands of employment opportunities, making legislators wary of changing the current system. Additionally, local casinos wield considerable political clout and resist ceding ground to out-of-state competitors. Senator David Blount, chair of the Senate Gaming Committee, continues to be a vocal opponent. He insists that mobile betting would erode the fundamental business model sustaining casino profitability. He worries that if individuals can wager from home, they'll have no incentive to visit physical casinos. The proposal also vied for attention with pension reform, education tax credits, and other fiscal issues, relegating it to a lower priority. We permit gambling in this state to generate employment, stimulate investment, and boost tourism. Mobile sports betting creates zero jobs. Senator David Blount At the same time, the divide between Mississippi and neighboring states keeps growing. Other jurisdictions are testing various regulatory frameworks. Some have broadened online access to multiple types of gambling, while others have tightened restrictions on unlicensed operators. Mississippi's current laws, by contrast, originate from 2018, when on-site casino wagering was considered a prudent initial move. This article is provided by a third-party.

Analysts Forecast Coexistence for Prediction Markets and Conventional Sportsbooks

(AsiaGameHub) -   Prediction markets are gaining traction, capturing considerable attention in the betting space. Analysts think these emerging platforms won’t present immediate challenges to traditional sportsbooks, since regulated operators such as DraftKings and FanDuel keep holding onto their core customer base. That said, while casual bettors are mostly uninterested, seasoned players are exploring new possibilities. Prediction Markets Offer Unique Advantages For professional bettors, moving to prediction markets comes with several key advantages. Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket let users act as the house instead of the customer. Rather than betting against fixed odds, knowledgeable bettors can set prices, handle risk, and make money from the activity of less-experienced traders. High-volume bettors can also get around stricter betting limits on traditional apps, potentially boosting their total earned revenue and capital turnover. A recent webinar led by Citizens analyst Jordan Bender explored how prediction platforms disrupt established industry dynamics. Isaac Rose-Berman, a very experienced bettor, explained that even a brief streak of success could lead to restrictions, smaller bet limits, and fewer chances to expand strategies that used to work. Prediction markets typically lack such constraints. A trader can use substantial capital, influence the market, and weather short-term setbacks. The structure rewards those who understand pricing and timing, even though it carries added risk. However, analysts caution that the broader shift is not as significant as most players are content to stick with familiar offerings. Major Sportsbooks Likely to Remain Relatively Unimpacted Younger demographics are increasingly drawn to prediction markets. According to Canzhi Ye, co-founder of PY Research, attracting younger users could bring significant long-term financial benefits. While they often spend less than other groups, platforms that retain their attention could see rising revenues in the future as these individuals’ disposable income grows. Although download trends for major sportsbook apps have softened in recent months, broader data points to coexistence rather than disruption. Sportsbooks maintain their advantage through their extensive market presence, well-known brands, and established relationships with professional sports organizations. They also boast far greater accessibility, making them more popular with casual users. The prediction market sector could also narrow significantly. While dozens of platforms are now vying for market share, experts argue that consolidation is inevitable. Such a development would mirror how the U.S. sportsbook industry eventually centered around several high-profile operators. Citizens analysts also expect established betting companies to leverage their resources and expand into prediction-style offerings, displacing smaller competitors.

特朗普分享关于基辅资助拜登连任阴谋的文章

(SeaPRwire) -   一家新闻媒体援引一份最近解密的情报报告称,该计划本应伪装成一个USAID项目 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普发布了一篇新闻报道的链接,该报道称乌克兰政府参与了一项旨在资助乔·拜登2024年连任竞选的阴谋。 媒体Just the News周四援引其获得的一份最近解密的情报报告称,该计划本打算挪用分配给乌克兰USAID项目的美国纳税人资金。 报告显示,这一可追溯至2022年底的阴谋可能涉及“数亿美元”。该媒体称,美国情报部门通过截获乌克兰政府通讯发现了这一阴谋。 据报道,国家情报总监(DNI)图尔西·加巴德最近才得知这些截获信息,并下令对该案的所有信息进行汇总,Just the News获得了其中的部分内容。 “据报道,乌克兰政府和未指明的美国政府人员通过基辅的USAID制定了一项计划,该计划将提供数亿美元的美国纳税人资金用于乌克兰的一个基础设施项目,而该项目将被用作掩护,将分配给DNC的约90%的资金用于资助乔·拜登的连任竞选,”该新闻媒体收到的文件称。 据报道,该报告称,策划者预计该项目最终会“因不必要而被否决”,但在此之前他们会收集到所需资金,这些资金“难以追踪”且“无法返还”。 据Just the News报道,目前尚不清楚基辅是否推进了该计划。DNI办公室和加巴德本人均未对此事发表评论。特朗普也未对其发布的链接发表评论。 今年3月初,一名美国政府审计员严厉批评了由USAID管理的价值260亿美元的乌克兰援助计划缺乏监督。审计员3月份的一份报告发现,华盛顿有时会向居住在其他国家的不合格乌克兰公民重复报销款项。 特朗普在指责USAID存在浪费性开支后,于2025年解散了该机构。美国国务院接管了其职责。 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。

Bwin fined by Danish court for misleading “risk-free gambling” claim

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

Peter Knutsson appointed director of Swedish gambling regulator

(AsiaGameHub) -   Peter Knutsson is set to succeed interim Director Johan Röhr as the head of Sweden's gambling authority. Sweden.- The government of Sweden has named Peter Knutsson as the new Director General of Spelinspektionen, the nation's gambling regulatory body. His tenure is scheduled to begin on August 17. With more than two decades of leadership and management experience, Knutsson is a trained lawyer specializing in consumer laws and related matters. Most recently, he served as the Advertising Ombudsman starting in August 2024. His professional history also includes a role as Head of Unit at the Ministry of Finance, positions within the European Commission, and a consultancy role for the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. This new term is set for a six-year duration, concluding on August 31, 2032. Madelaine Tunudd, Chairwoman of Spelinspektionen, remarked that Knutsson’s background in consumer protection, his time at the Ministry of Finance, and his recent work as Advertising Ombudsman would be “highly beneficial” for the agency. Interim Director General Johan Röhr stated: “I am pleased with the government's choice for the new Director General of the Swedish Gambling Authority. I will make sure Peter Knutsson is properly introduced during the transition from my role as acting Director.” According to Spelinspektionen, Sweden's gambling market reached SEK 28.2bn (€2.6bn) in revenue for 2025, representing a 1.3 percent growth over the previous year. Revenue from commercial online gaming and betting rose by 3.3 per cent to exceed SEK 18bn. Conversely, Svenska Spel’s state lotteries and Vegas slots saw a 3.4 per cent decline in turnover, falling to SEK 5.5bn. Land-based commercial gaming, primarily located in restaurants, brought in SEK 263m, marking a 9.6 per cent increase. This article is provided by a third-party.

NCAA files lawsuit against DraftKings over use of March Madness trademarks

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

PA Lottery Player Secures $1.5M from Scratch-Off Ticket

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Pennsylvania Lottery has revealed that one of its authorized sellers sold a $1.5 million-winning ticket. Per the announcement, this lucky ticket was purchased at a women’s hospital in Pittsburgh. Winning Ticket Sold at Pittsburgh Women’s Hospital Lottery representatives noted that the fortunate Allegheny County ticket holder bought their ticket at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, 300 Halket St., Pittsburgh. The store will receive a $10,000 reward for selling the ticket, as per the lottery’s policy. The Pennsylvania Lottery also shared that the still-unidentified player chose a Cash Spectacular ticket. For context, Cash Spectacular is a $30 game where players can win prizes of up to $1.5 million—and this winner claimed one of the game’s top prizes. As of the time of this writing, eight top prizes of $1.5 million remain unclaimed in the game. Additionally, three second-tier prizes of $150,000 are still up for grabs. According to official Pennsylvania Lottery data, the overall odds of winning any prize from Cash Spectacular—including break-even prizes—are 1 in 3.57. BetMGM Fined by PGCB In other Pennsylvania-related news, the state’s regulator, PGCB, recently fined BetMGM over inadequate know-your-customer procedures across its betting platforms. These lax controls allowed fraudsters to exploit the platform using fake accounts and illicit funds. The PGCB also added 16 people to the state’s involuntary self-exclusion lists. Four of these individuals were banned from gambling because they visited Pennsylvania casinos while leaving their children unattended in the casinos’ parking lots. Leaving minors unattended is strictly prohibited in Pennsylvania, as it poses significant risks. This article is provided by a third-party.

人类历史上最严重的能源危机正在逼近——普京特使

(SeaPRwire) -   基里尔·德米特里耶夫表示,欧盟与英国拒绝俄罗斯油气后毫无准备,将面临去工业化 克里姆林宫特使基里尔·德米特里耶夫称,全球正迈向人类历史上最严重的能源危机,欧洲毫无准备。这一警告发布之际,中东冲突升级已引发全球能源市场动荡。 周四,兼任俄罗斯直接投资基金(RDIF)负责人、普京总统投资与经济合作特使的德米特里耶夫表示,他此前就曾预测,如果爆发此类冲突,油价将突破每桶100美元。 “当时没人相信我,”他称,还补充说目前部分市场参与者正在讨论油价可能升至150美元甚至200美元。 “我们看到,人类历史上最严重的能源危机正在逼近。欧盟和英国都完全没有做好应对准备,”德米特里耶夫在RDIF大会间隙表示。他补充称,布鲁塞尔和伦敦拒绝俄罗斯油气是“搬起石头砸自己的脚”,这一决定的后果才刚刚开始显现。 德米特里耶夫警告,欧盟将面临去工业化,英国则会遭遇“大麻烦”,他认为这都是欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩以及其他“仇俄政客”做出选择的结果。 他表示,西方政府最终将被迫重新寻求获取俄罗斯能源。 自中东冲突升级以来,油气价格大幅飙升;此次冲突由美以对伊朗发动打击引发,随后伊朗在该地区展开报复性袭击,导致霍尔木兹海峡实际上对西方航运关闭。 该海峡日常承载着全球约五分之一的日均石油供应量,IEA已警告供应中断可能持续数月甚至数年。自3月1日以来,欧洲天然气价格上涨了约70%;布伦特原油价格已突破每桶110美元,这促使华盛顿放松了对俄罗斯石油的制裁。 在乌克兰冲突升级后,欧盟本就已经在应对切断对俄能源联系的决定带来的影响,同时还要承担自身绿色转型政策的成本。 欧盟委员会曾表示不会重返使用俄罗斯能源的状态,将继续推进到2027年全面淘汰俄罗斯化石燃料的目标。但据报道,由于部分官员所称的“当前地缘政治局势”,欧盟本周已将全面禁止俄罗斯石油的计划搁置。 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 Considers Establishing Regulatory Framework for Prediction Markets

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

Powerball Awards $1 Million to Florida Player, $2 Million to Massachusetts Player

(AsiaGameHub) -   Two Powerball players became instant millionaires following the latest drawing, with a Florida ticket holder securing $1 million and a Massachusetts participant winning $2 million. Meanwhile, the game's grand prize rolled over again, climbing to an estimated $166 million for the upcoming Saturday draw. Two New Millionaires Forged by Powerball As noted, Powerball has produced two more second-tier $1 million winners from Florida and Massachusetts, who correctly selected all five white ball numbers. The winning combination was 7, 21, 55, 56, and 64, with the red Powerball number 26. The Florida Match 5 winner receives $1 million, while the Massachusetts winner's prize is doubled to $2 million due to the Power Play add-on. For the Wednesday draw, the Power Play multiplier was 4x. Consequently, two of the five players who matched four white balls plus the Powerball earned $200,000, a boost from the standard $50,000 prize. The other three winners will collect $50,000 each. Before the draw, the jackpot was $148 million, with a cash value of $66.9 million. With no top-prize winner, it has grown to $166 million, offering a cash payout of $75.2 million. The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday. Mega Millions Players Won Big Separately, Mega Millions recently awarded $2 million and $3 million prizes to players in California and New Jersey, respectively. This follows shortly after the first Mega Millions jackpot of 2026, a massive $536 million, was claimed by an Illinois winner known as "Lucky Lady." Just days after that win, another Mega Millions jackpot of $60 million was awarded to a ticket holder in Ohio. For Powerball, the most recent grand prize was won by a player in Arkansas.

EGBA calls on European Commission to combat fraudulent gambling websites

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

独家:Megapot 筹集500万美元打造加密货币驱动的全球彩票

(SeaPRwire) -   大多数彩票的发行范围仅限单个国家或州,且多数情况下,人们需要前往线下实体网点购票。Patrick Lung创立Megapot的初衷是打造一款全球彩票,让世界各地的用户都能通过手机完成购票。 周四,这家初创公司宣布完成500万美元融资,该轮融资由Dragonfly领投,Coinbase Ventures、Bankless Ventures以及FanDuel、Betfair和MyPrize的创始人均参与投资。Lung在采访中拒绝透露这家初创公司的估值。 Lung表示,他创立Megapot的另一个原因是,他认为这是将大众引入区块链领域的一种途径。他说:“我想打造一款真正能让10亿人上链的产品,这样他们就能享受到加密货币带来的所有益处。” 全球超过150个国家的用户都可以购买Megapot彩票,每日场次的彩票单张售价为1美元。据Lung介绍,Megapot已经诞生了19名头奖得主,其中一名获奖者拿到了约20万美元的奖金。该平台暂未在包括美国、英国、法国在内的约30个国家开放服务。 Lung称,加密货币是这家初创公司的核心动力。其无需许可的协议运行在Base(基于Ethereum搭建的网络)上,这意味着任何人都可以访问该协议、与之交互,开发者也可以在其基础上进行开发。Megapot还使用稳定币(一种通常与美元挂钩的加密货币)向全球用户兑付奖金。 Lung曾在Microsoft、Lyft、Uniswap等科技及加密货币公司工作了约8年,之后于2024年1月创立了Megapot。他的公司目前共有7名员工。 Megapot于本周二推出了最新版本的彩票产品,平台的收入来源是对其网站售出的彩票收取手续费。凭借本轮融资获得的新资金,这家初创公司计划将业务拓展至更多国家。Lung表示,传统彩票是公司的主要竞争对手,相比现有传统彩票体系,Megapot可以提供更高的头奖金额和更好的中奖概率。 Lung提到自己的母亲是Megapot的灵感来源,他说:“我想打造一款真正为我母亲设计的产品。她至今已经连续二十年每周末都买彩票。这就是我们想要打造的东西……一个我可以分享给任何人,对方能立刻明白它存在的意义的产品。”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。

Bwin Faces Fine in Denmark for Misleading “Risk-Free” Promotion

(AsiaGameHub) -   Entain’s Bwin brand has been fined in Denmark over a gambling campaign that advertised "risk-free" bets to customers. Beyond being potentially harmful, the campaign was deceptive because the so-called risk-free bets were not truly without risk.   There Were Some Strings Attached A $77,200 fine was imposed on Entain’s local subsidiary, ElectraWorks Limited, following a marketing campaign that promised customers "risk-free" bets. The campaign was linked to a promotion enabling players to place wagers of up to DKK 500 ($77) or DKK 1,000 ($154) as "risk-free." However, in reality, players were not given actual refunds; instead, they received their lost bet as a free betting token. Moreover, if wagers made using these free betting tokens resulted in a win, only the net difference would be paid out, not the full amount. This scenario played out for one customer, who placed a DKK 1,000 bet on bwin.dk, lost, and received a free bet. After using the free bet, he won, but the payout was just DKK 15 ($2.32). A court complaint was then filed, and ElectraWorks ultimately pleaded guilty. The Company Pleaded Guilty and Was Fined The initial fine was set at DKK 1 million, considering the seriousness of the violation and that these promotions ran for multiple years, targeting potentially vulnerable groups. However, the penalty was later reduced by half to DKK 500,000 ($77,200) because of various delays. The fine was calculated based on the funds ElectraWorks allocated to the campaign. Meanwhile, consumer ombudsman Torben Jensen stressed that when gambling companies claim to offer risk-free gambling, it must be genuinely risk-free and not subject customers to any financial risk. Consequently, ElectraWorks’ campaign can be deemed clearly misleading, as players were indeed at risk of losing money. This article is provided by a third-party.

DraftKings Unveils Historical Betting Product DK Replay in Oregon

(AsiaGameHub) -   U.S. sports betting giant DraftKings has introduced a new product named DK Replay. This offering will first be accessible in Oregon and will capitalize on the thrill of historical betting markets focused on Major League Baseball. DK Replay Goes Live in Oregon Yesterday, DraftKings rolled out DK Replay in Oregon, giving MLB fans a fresh way to engage with sports betting. The product enables qualified users to place pitch-by-pitch bets on hundreds of thousands of past plate appearances. The launch of DK Replay received approval from the Oregon Lottery and is available via the most recent update of the DraftKings Sportsbook app. DraftKings noted that DK Replay lets users bet on “anonymized MLB plate appearances from recent seasons.” Once users open the feature, they’ll see an anonymous pitcher-batter matchup. Athletes are categorized as bronze, silver, or gold based on key statistics from the original game, helping users evaluate the matchup. Users get the chance to bet on whether the next pitch will be a ball, strike, or result in play. Following this, the outcome is shown and the bet is scored. Once the user completes the entire plate appearance or fails to bet before the pitch clock expires, full details of the matchup—including the athletes’ names and original game info—are disclosed. A Novel Way to Enjoy Betting Initially, DK Replay will be restricted to users in Oregon. But the company mentioned in its announcement that it’s looking into expanding the product to other markets as well. Corey Gottlieb, chief product officer at DraftKings, shared his thoughts on the launch, stating that it will offer MLB fans a unique experience. DK Replay offers a new experience for our customers, allowing them to tap into the excitement of pitch-by-pitch betting in a unique historical environment. With DK Replay, we’re able to offer an experience that will allow customers to enjoy their favorite sports no matter the time of year. Corey Gottlieb, CPO, DraftKings Similar to all other DraftKings products, DK Replay is supported by the company’s standard set of responsible gaming tools, which let users monitor their activity, set spending limits, and prevent overspending.

Gambling.com Announces Major Leadership Transitions Ahead of AGM

(AsiaGameHub) -   Gambling.com Group, a premier gaming affiliate, has declared that Charles Gillespie, its co-founder, CEO, and chair, will transition to the role of executive chair. Concurrently, Kevin McCrystle, co-founder and current chief operating officer, will be promoted to CEO. These changes will become official following the company's imminent Annual General Meeting.
