BGaming Returns to Malta for the Second Charity Gala in Support of DAR Bjorn

(AsiaGameHub) - BGaming is set to host its Charity Gala once more on 29 May 2026, with the second edition scheduled to take place at The Phoenicia Hotel in Malta, as the company continues to place DAR Bjorn at the heart of the occasion. This fundraising event succeeds last year’s Gala, which generated €200,000 to aid in financing the new Respite Centre for DAR Bjorn. For the 2026 gathering, BGaming is pivoting its focus from construction to addressing practical care needs within the facility. The funds raised will be directed toward acquiring equipment such as ventilators, motorized beds, air mattresses, hoist lifters, and oxygen concentrators. Additionally, the money will finance four resident rooms for new admissions. BGaming confirmed that every euro collected will be donated directly to DAR Bjorn, with the company covering all production costs independently. A Second Gala With a Clearer Target DAR Bjorn was established by Bjorn Formosa, an iGaming veteran who received an ALS diagnosis at age 28. The organisation currently looks after approximately 60 residents across two centres and provides support to nearly 800 people in the community. With demand continuing to increase, the new Respite Centre is poised to deliver essential capacity for individuals suffering from ALS, MS, and other severe neurological conditions. The event will be held in the Bastion Pool area of The Phoenicia Hotel and will be conducted as an invitation-only evening catering to iGaming executives, Maltese business leaders, and philanthropists. Next.io will act as the official media partner, while Joseph Chetcuti will serve as host. The agenda features live music by Versatile, an art performance and auction by L7Matrix and Gonçalo MAR, as well as a charity raffle. BGaming also highlighted several companies that have already pledged support for the 2026 edition. Flutter, Alea, and SiGMA are on board as supporting partners. MyAffiliates has joined as a Silver Partner, while Amusnet Gaming, 1spin4win, and Finteq Hub have signed up as Bronze Partners.Marina Ostrovtsova, Chief Executive Officer at BGaming, stated: “Last year’s Gala demonstrated what is achievable when our industry unites for a common goal. Raising €200,000 in a single evening was a significant accomplishment and offered real, tangible assistance to those at DAR Bjorn who require it the most. “We are incredibly proud to return for a second year with even greater aspirations. The funds we generate this year will be dedicated to equipment that directly enhances the residents' quality of life. These contributions represent the difference between comfort and hardship for individuals living with serious neurological conditions, and we hope that both the iGaming community and the wider Maltese community will stand with us once again.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Pertaruhan Polymarket Singapura Terus Meskipun Dilarang

(AsiaGameHub) - Aktiviti pertaruhan yang berkaitan dengan Singapura telah meningkat di platform Polymarket. Tindakan ini berlaku walaupun terdapat larangan penggunaan Polymarket di rantau ini sejak Disember 2024. Media Singapura melaporkan bahawa sesetengah pengguna masih mengakses platform melalui cara alternatif untuk meletakkan pertaruhan pada acara yang memberi tumpuan kepada tempatan. Aktiviti baru-baru ini termasuk pertaruhan pada bacaan suhu harian, dengan purata pertaruhan harian melebihi $100,000 pada bulan April. Pada 17 April, hampir $125,000 telah dipertaruhkan menjelang waktu tamat pada waktu petang, dan kebanyakan peserta menyokong suhu puncak 33°C. Polymarket telah disekat secara rasmi oleh pihak berkuasa Singapura pada Disember 2024 kerana aktiviti perjudian haram yang ditawarkan oleh platform tersebut. Singapura mengawal ketat perjudian jarak jauhnya, di mana hanya Singapore Pools yang dibenarkan untuk menawarkan aktiviti perjudian dalam talian. Langkah penguatkuasaan kerajaan terhadap pertaruhan haram telah meningkat. Laman web Polymarket sebelum ini telah digunakan untuk meletakkan pertaruhan pada acara-acara besar di Singapura, seperti Grand Prix Formula 1 Singapura pada tahun 2023, pilihan raya presiden, dan pilihan raya parlimen 2025.

Defy the Odds dan BettingStartups mengumumkan perkongsian strategik

(AsiaGameHub) - Defy the Odds dan BettingStartups telah mengumumkan kemitraan strategik yang bertujuan untuk mengukuhkan peranan syarikat rintisan dalam sektor iGaming dan pertaruhan sukan. Kerjasama ini menyatukan dua organisasi yang mempunyai pandangan bahawa syarikat peringkat awal adalah penting untuk masa depan industri ini dan memerlukan akses yang lebih baik kepada rangkaian, pembiayaan, dan peluang kerjasama. DTO, yang menyokong pengasas di seluruh iGaming, pertaruhan sukan, teknologi sukan, dan fintech, akan menggabungkan rangkaian nasihatnya dengan ekosistem global BettingStartups untuk membantu menutup jurang antara syarikat rintisan dan industri yang lebih luas. Kemitraan ini bertujuan untuk menangani cabaran biasa seperti keterlihatan terhad, rangkaian yang berpecah belah, dan kesukaran untuk mendapatkan akses kepada pelaburan khusus sektor. Dengan menyatukan daya, kedua-dua platform ini bertujuan untuk mencipta laluan yang lebih kukuh untuk syarikat rintisan mendapatkan pendedahan, memperoleh pembiayaan, dan bersambung dengan pengendali, pelabur, dan pakar industri. Pelabur akan mendapatkan akses yang lebih baik kepada usaha yang baru muncul, manakala syarikat yang sudah mapan akan mempunyai pandangan awal tentang produk dan inovasi baharu. Kerjasama ini dibina di sekitar tiga tiang utama: komuniti, kerjasama, dan modal yang tertumpu pada perkongsian pengetahuan, kemitraan yang bermakna, dan kesediaan untuk pelaburan. Kedua-dua organisasi akan menyokong pengasas dengan persediaan pitch, pemodelan kewangan, dan pengenalan kepada pelabur yang aktif. Kelly Kehn, Pengasas Bersama DTO, berkata: Inovasi tidak berlaku dalam ruang hampa. Ia berlaku apabila pengasas bersambung, berkongsi idea dan mendorong satu sama lain ke hadapan. Itulah yang dilakukan oleh komuniti. Kemitraan dengan BettingStartups ini adalah tentang menyatukan lebih banyak syarikat rintisan dan memastikan industri yang lebih luas memberi perhatian kepada apa yang mereka bangunkan. Kerana masa depan industri kita dibentuk oleh pengasas ini. Inisiatif bersama pertama kemitraan ini akan diadakan di SBC Summit Americas di Fort Lauderdale (9–11 Jun), di mana mereka akan menganjurkan aktiviti berfokuskan syarikat rintisan dan menyambungkan syarikat peringkat awal dengan pemegang kepentingan utama. Inisiatif selanjutnya dirancang sepanjang tahun 2026. Jesse Learmonth, pengasas BettingStartups, menambah: Kami sentiasa berfokuskan untuk menyediakan infrastruktur isyarat tinggi untuk pengasas meningkatkan skala perniagaan. Kemitraan dengan DTO ini mengukuhkan misi itu, menyambungkan khalayak kami dengan komuniti yang benar-benar membuka pintu. Bermula dengan zon syarikat rintisan di SBC Americas, kami memberikan pengasas saluran terus dan berpatutan kepada pengendali dan pelabur yang mentakrifkan industri ini.

Pasaran pertaruhan haram di Belanda berkembang, pengalihan jatuh di bawah 50% iGame

Pasaran pertaruhan haram di Belanda berkembang, pengalihan jatuh di bawah 50%

(AsiaGameHub) - Pasar perjudian haram Belanda melebihi hasil sektor sah pada tahun 2025, di tengah-tengah peraturan perlindungan ketat yang menarik pemain ke pasar gelap. Pengawal selia kasino Belanda Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) telah menimbulkan amaran mengenai penyaluran, yang telah menurun daripada 51% pada akhir 2024 kepada 49% pada separuh pertama 2025. Dalam laporan tahunan 2025 yang diterbitkan pada Selasa, ia memberi amaran bahawa pasar haram telah melebihi sektor berlesen dari segi GGR pengendali. Majoriti perbelanjaan kasino di Belanda kini disumbang oleh pengendali tidak berlesen, manakala jumlah hasil pengendali berlesen kekal hampir tidak berubah pada separuh kedua 2025 berbanding tahun sebelumnya, iaitu €602 juta. Sepanjang beberapa tahun yang lalu, pengenalan langkah perlindungan pemain yang lebih ketat, seperti had deposit dan peningkatan kadar cukai perjudian, telah menyebabkan kejatuhan dalam penyaluran. Kejatuhan ini menunjukkan bahawa hampir separuh daripada semua perbelanjaan perjudian bocor kepada pengendali tidak berlesen. Pihak pengawal selia mewajibkan had deposit €700 untuk pemain berusia lebih 24 tahun dan €300 untuk mereka yang berusia 18 hingga 24 tahun pada Oktober tahun lepas. Pada asalnya bertujuan untuk memastikan amalan perjudian yang lebih selamat, langkah yang dilaksanakan sebaliknya telah mengurangkan perbelanjaan pemain sah. Pada Oktober tahun lepas, had deposit telah diperkenalkan oleh pihak berkuasa kawal selia untuk pemain berusia 18 hingga 24 tahun iaitu €300 dan untuk pemain berusia lebih 24 tahun iaitu €700. Pada mulanya bertujuan untuk mempromosikan perjudian yang lebih selamat; walau bagaimanapun, langkah ini telah menyebabkan kelewatan dalam jumlah wang yang digunakan oleh pemain di laman web yang dikawal selia. Walaupun terdapat 1.38 juta pendaftaran pemain untuk H2 2025, purata jumlah wang yang digunakan di laman web permainan yang dikawal selia telah menurun berbanding H1 2025. Walaupun bilangan pemain berdaftar adalah tinggi, disebabkan oleh had deposit dan keperluan pemain mematuhi undang-undang, setiap pemain telah mengurangkan jumlah perbelanjaan perjudian mereka. Michel Groothuizen, pengerusi KSA, telah menyatakan bahawa KSA akan menangani pengendali haram dan bekalan haram yang mereka bergantung padanya secara inovatif, bukannya mengejar tapak haram individu satu persatu. Menurut KSA (Kansspelautoriteit), pasar perjudian dalam talian haram menjangkau kira-kira €617 juta untuk H1 2025 dan telah mengekalkan tahap aktiviti yang hampir sama dengan pengendali berlesen yang direkodkan pada €600 juta. Pihak berkuasa kawal selia juga menyatakan bahawa bilangan pemain yang disalurkan masih agak tinggi, iaitu 94%, dengan kebanyakan pemain berdaftar masih mempunyai akaun dengan penyedia berlesen tetapi telah mula menggunakan penyedia tidak berlesen; sama ada dalam talian atau luar talian. KSA juga mencatatkan peningkatan 34% tahun atas tahun dalam laporan perjudian haram pada 2025, mencecah 2,005. Oleh itu, KSA telah menubuhkan inisiatif kerjasama baharu yang dipanggil Project Disconnect. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

MGM Resorts Finalizes Sale of Northfield Park for $546 Million iGame

MGM Resorts Finalizes Sale of Northfield Park for $546 Million

(AsiaGameHub) - MGM Resorts International has completed the sale of its MGM Northfield Park asset located in Ohio. The purchasing entity is Clairvest Group Inc, with the total cash transaction value reaching US$546 million. MGM Resorts noted that estimated net cash proceeds, after deducting taxes and transaction-related costs, are expected to come in at approximately US$420 million. Good to Know MGM Resorts has finalized the sale of MGM Northfield Park to funds overseen by Clairvest Group Inc for US$546 million in cash. MGM Resorts anticipates roughly US$420 million in net cash proceeds once taxes and transaction expenses are accounted for. The existing lease agreement with VICI Properties was modified upon transaction closing, reducing annual rental payments by US$53 million. MGM Resorts Unlocks Liquidity Following Northfield Park Sale Completion The newly available capital provides MGM Resorts with greater financial flexibility. Jonathan Halkyard, chief financial officer of MGM Resorts, stated: “The finalization of this transaction highlights the value of MGM’s high-quality operational capabilities, and creates an opportunity to divest a non-core regional asset at a notably higher multiple than the valuation currently assigned to our premium portfolio. “The proceeds will be allocated in line with our key priorities of maintaining a robust balance sheet, making targeted investments in growth opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders.”This rental reduction adds an extra benefit to the deal. Upon closing, the master lease agreement with VICI Properties that had previously included MGM Northfield Park was revised. Annual rent obligations dropped by US$53 million. For MGM Resorts, this means it gains cash from the sale while also lowering its recurring lease expenses at the same time. Bill Hornbuckle, chief executive and president of MGM Resorts, described MGM Northfield Park as a “market-leading property” with a “strong operational foundation”. He added: “We offer our best wishes to the property’s team and new ownership for continued success as the asset enters the next chapter of its development.” MGM Resorts has been divesting assets that fall outside of its core long-term strategy, while reserving capital for larger-scale projects and shareholder returns. One of the most significant projects on its roadmap is MGM Osaka, the integrated resort being developed in partnership with Orix Corp and local stakeholders in Japan. MGM Resorts has stated it is pursuing targeted expansion across Asia through this development, and earlier company documents have pegged its expected launch for the end of 2030.According to MGM Resorts, Northfield Park generated approximately US$142 million in Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year ending December 31, 2025. Against this context, the sale price and rental adjustment give investors a clearer understanding of how MGM Resorts values regional assets compared to the rest of its premium portfolio.

IGT appoints Mark Wadley as incoming President of Land-Based Gaming

(AsiaGameHub) - IGT has announced a significant change in its land-based gaming leadership. Mark Wadley is set to join the company as the incoming President of Land-Based Gaming, subject to regulatory approvals. His extensive responsibilities will consolidate major commercial and operational functions under a single framework. Good to Know Mark Wadley will report directly to IGT CEO Hector Fernandez. His responsibilities encompass global sales, product management, field services, manufacturing, marketing, external communications, and government relations. Wadley was previously the chief marketing officer for a global competitor of IGT. IGT Puts Land Based Gaming Under One Leader IGT is entrusting a substantial portion of its land-based gaming operations to Mark Wadley. Upon receiving the necessary approvals, he will oversee an integrated organization that includes product, commercial, and operational teams throughout the business. This organizational model places control of sales, product, service, manufacturing, marketing, communications, and government relations under a single executive. For IGT, this shift indicates a move toward a more streamlined operating model, as the company aims to better synchronize product planning with customer delivery. This conclusion is drawn from the role's extensive scope and comments from both executives. Wadley said:“IGT has all the core elements of a winning gaming business, from differentiated content to global scale and long-standing customer relationships. “The opportunity now is to operate with greater alignment and discipline, ensuring that how we develop, position, and deliver our products translates more consistently into performance for our customers. That focus on execution will define the next phase of growth.” Fernandez framed the hire in similar terms. He said: “Mark is a proven leader with a deep understanding of how to connect product, customer insight, and commercial execution to drive performance. “As we continue to strengthen our Gaming business, bringing these capabilities together under one leader is a critical step in improving how we operate and deliver for our customers. Mark’s experience will help us accelerate that progress.” Wadley brings experience from the gaming and biotech sectors, with a background in building teams, driving innovation, and achieving commercial results in dynamic markets. Industry reports also note his previous role as an executive at Aristocrat prior to joining IGT. This article is provided by a third-party.

Dutch Regulator KSA Raises Alarm as Illegal Gambling Overtakes Legal Market iGame

Dutch Regulator KSA Raises Alarm as Illegal Gambling Overtakes Legal Market

(AsiaGameHub) - The Dutch online gambling sector has reached a threshold that regulators hoped to avoid. Unlicensed operators now command a larger portion of gambling revenue than their licensed counterparts, with the KSA attributing this shift to player protection measures that are diverting expenditure from the regulated market. Good to Know The proportion of gambling spend channeled to licensed Dutch operators dropped from 51% at the close of 2024 to 49% in H1 2025. The KSA approximates illegal online Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) at €617 million, slightly exceeding the €600 million produced by licensed operators during the same timeframe. Player channelisation remained significantly higher at around 94%, indicating that while many users retain legal accounts, they are allocating some of their spending to other venues. Dutch Illegal Gambling Revenue Moves Ahead Of Legal Market The KSA stated that the legal market has lost its revenue lead. During the first six months of 2025, licensed operators yielded approximately €600 million in GGR, whereas the unlicensed online segment attained an estimated €617 million. This decline drove the channelisation rate by spend under 50%, representing a significant reversal for the Dutch regulatory framework. The regulator connects a substantial part of this downturn to stricter player protection regulations and increased gambling taxes. Deposit limits enforced in October 2024 capped deposits at €700 for players over 24 and €300 for those aged 18-24. The KSA noted these rules were designed to mitigate harm, but evidence suggests players are moving a portion of their spending to unlicensed platforms where such restrictions are absent. Legitimate gambling activity did not vanish, but revenue growth halted. Monthly active player accounts hit 1.38 million in the latter half of 2025, while licensed operator GGR remained mostly unchanged year-on-year at €602 million. This implies continued participation, but with lower average losses per account and increased financial leakage from the regulated system.The KSA additionally recorded 2,005 complaints regarding illegal gambling in 2025, a 34% rise from the previous year. As a countermeasure, it initiated Project Disconnect, an expanded enforcement strategy focused on disrupting the support infrastructure of unlicensed operators instead of targeting individual sites. Preliminary outcomes have involved the near-total elimination of paid Google search advertisements for illicit gambling sites since August 2025, along with the removal of illegal .nl domains via SIDN. Regulatory action intensified across the market. The KSA imposed fines totaling €8.6 million on five licensed operators in 2025, primarily for lapses in duty of care, and penalized four illegal operators with fines summing €31.2 million. However, the regulator highlighted that existing legislation restricts fines to a maximum of 10% of an operator's global GGR, curbing the impact on offshore entities. The KSA is currently in discussions with the Ministry of Justice to amend this regulation. The consequences are also becoming apparent in the state's financial accounts. The KSA disclosed an €11.1 million budget deficit for 2025, which incorporates a €5.3 million gap in gambling tax income associated with reduced legal spending following the implementation of deposit limits.

Caixa Pauses BetCaixa Rollout While Lula Considers New Gambling Restrictions iGame

Caixa Pauses BetCaixa Rollout While Lula Considers New Gambling Restrictions

(AsiaGameHub) - Caixa has paused its online betting venture as Brazil navigates a new phase of conflict over gambling policies. The state-owned bank will no longer aim for a 2026 launch and has stated it will await clearer federal guidance before entering the fixed-odds betting market. Key Points Caixa will suspend the BRL 30 million license payment associated with its inactive betting authorization. A bill proposed by the Workers' Party, PL 1808/2026, seeks to prohibit online gambling, with the exception of state lottery products. President Lula has publicly expressed support for a nationwide ban on online betting platforms, though this would require legislative approval. Caixa Withdraws Amidst Ongoing Uncertainty in Brazil's Betting Regulations Following the payment for a federal license and obtaining approval to operate BetCaixa, MegaBet, and Xbet Caixa, Caixa has now put the project on hold. The bank indicated that no platform contracts have been finalized and no penalties are applicable, adding that any decisions regarding fixed-odds betting must adhere to technical, legal, sustainability, and federal policy standards. Political considerations are at the forefront of this delay. A faction within the Workers' Party has introduced PL 1808/2026, aiming to outlaw online gambling throughout Brazil, excluding state-operated lottery services. Concurrently, President Lula has separately voiced his preference for a national prohibition on online betting platforms. Reports also suggest his administration is considering stricter regulations concerning advertising and access for financially vulnerable populations, including recipients of the Bolsa Família program. This situation places Caixa in a challenging position. Earlier, Carlos Vieira had promoted betting as a significant avenue for growth, projecting revenues of BRL 18 billion within two years and aiming to establish the state lender as a major player in one of the world's largest regulated betting markets. Instead of joining private operators, Caixa is now observing from the sidelines as Brasília deliberates whether to further restrict the market or eliminate it entirely.The postponement has also prompted scrutiny from auditors. The Brazil Federal Court of Accounts is seeking explanations regarding the unused license, the planned launch schedule, and the compliance measures in place for identity verification, responsible gaming, and addiction control. Industry associations have cautioned that each year of delay weakens the position of the physical lottery network while private digital operators continue to expand.

Portal’s Rebrand Transforms Platform into AI Native Portal 2.0

(AsiaGameHub) - Portal has made a significant shift away from its previous crypto-focused identity. The platform is now being repositioned as an AI-powered game creation layer targeting developers and independent creators, with Benjamin Charbit heading the revamp and Animoca Brands supporting the next stage. Good to Know Portal 2.0 places AI-native game creation tools at the core of the platform. Benjamin Charbit—ex-Ubisoft director associated with Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag—now leads the new structure as CEO. Animoca Brands is supporting the relaunch, which follows the Portal and BLIFE merger announced in late 2025. Portal 2.0 Redefines Its Platform Around AI Game Creation Portal is no longer primarily positioning itself as a crypto gaming platform. With the Portal 2.0 relaunch, the company is moving toward AI tools designed for quicker game development, reduced technical hurdles, and creator-centric workflows. Benjamin Charbit now heads the platform. His experience includes time at Ubisoft and involvement in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, and the new vision is straightforward: leverage AI to assist creators in building games more quickly, with fewer technical obstacles and increased automation throughout the process. The product lineup focuses on AI agent coordination, asset creation, and fast prototyping. Portal is also promoting no-to-low-code workflows and prompt-to-game tools, with the goal of providing smaller studios and indie creators a more efficient path from idea to playable prototype.Animoca Brands is a backer in this reset, and the wider ecosystem remains intact. Portal still highlights its connections to projects like The Sandbox, Anichess, and Cross The Ages, while working to transition its existing token community into a new model focused more on AI creation than crypto infrastructure. The transition is drastic. Portal previously aligned more with cross-chain gaming and crypto infrastructure. Now it seeks a spot in the AI game development competition, where speed, tools, and creator accessibility are emerging as key selling points. This conclusion is drawn from the relaunch messaging, product priorities, and leadership shift. This article is provided by a third-party.

Ontario Bill 107 Takes Aim at Sports Betting Advertisements on TV and Social Media iGame

Ontario Bill 107 Takes Aim at Sports Betting Advertisements on TV and Social Media

(AsiaGameHub) - Political efforts to restrict gambling advertisements have resurfaced in Ontario. A proposed bill from the Liberal party seeks to prohibit the majority of advertising by licensed online sportsbooks and iGaming providers, though its chances of becoming law remain slim. Good to Know Introduced by Lee Fairclough, Bill 107 is co-sponsored by Stephen Blais, John Fraser, and Ted Hsu. The legislation aims to prohibit television commercials, social media marketing, and paid sponsorships from licensed gambling operators. Ontario has previously strengthened its rules on gambling ads, imposing restrictions on the use of athletes and celebrities. Ontario Liberals Reintroduce Proposal to Ban Gambling Ads Lee Fairclough introduced Bill 107 at Queen's Park on Monday. Dubbed the Stop Harmful Gambling Advertising Act, 2026, it would modify the Gaming Control Act to outlaw the advertising and promotion of gambling sites by licensed Ontario operators on television, social media, and through paid sponsorships. Companies that violate the rules could be fined up to $1 million for an initial offence, with subsequent infractions risking the loss of their operating licence. Fairclough linked the bill to worries about addiction following Ontario's 2022 launch of a privatized online gambling market. She noted that approximately 50 private gambling firms are now marketing their services widely, coinciding with an increase in individuals seeking gambling support from ConnexOntario.The bill's political prospects are challenging. The Ontario Liberals remain the legislature's third party, a position they held when John Fraser advocated for stricter marketing regulations in 2023. Therefore, despite renewed focus on sports betting commercials, iCasino promotions, and gambling sponsorships, passing the legislation appears to be an uphill battle. Nevertheless, the bill's introduction is significant. It demonstrates that public frustration with gambling advertisements during sports broadcasts persists, and it comes as the federal government in Ottawa also considers broader restrictions. Provincial regulators have already addressed some concerns by banning athlete endorsements, limiting celebrity involvement, and prohibiting bonus-bet ads on most public channels. Bill 107 seeks to extend these efforts significantly by aiming to eliminate wide-ranging promotional activities by operators at the provincial level. This article is provided by a third-party.

Resorts World Approaches Historic Live Table Launch in Queens on April 28

(AsiaGameHub) - Resorts World is poised to make a significant change in New York. Provided the New York State Gaming Commission gives its final approval this week, the Queens venue will debut live table games on Tuesday, April 28, marking the first time a casino in New York City has offered them. Good to Know Resorts World reports that over 240 live table games are scheduled to open on the renovated third floor on April 28, subject to final regulatory approval. This launch provides Queens with a substantial advantage, as the facility is already operational, unlike other downstate license holders who have lengthy construction periods ahead. The opening is creating 1,250 new positions, 950 of which are for table game dealers, with total employment projected to exceed 2,700 by the summer. Resorts World Opens The Door To Live Tables In Queens After years of operating solely as a slots destination adjacent to Aqueduct Racetrack, Resorts World is on the verge of a major expansion. Genting has announced that blackjack, craps, baccarat, and roulette will be activated next week, joining thousands of slot machines and multi-million dollar jackpots, following the conclusion of state testing. This timing is critically important. Having secured one of three downstate casino licenses in December 2025, Resorts World's existing infrastructure allows it to introduce live tables much more quickly than its competitors. Projects like Metropolitan Park near Citi Field and the Bally's proposal at Ferry Point are not expected to open for several years. Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East, stated:“What we have planned for April 28 is unprecedented for New York City. Upon the Gaming Commission's final sign-off, live table games will be up and running here in Queens for the first time in the city's history. We are prepared to greet New Yorkers with this thrilling new offering. “Our team at Resorts World has already grown to over 2,200 employees, and we anticipate adding thousands more as the integrated resort evolves over the next three years. This is a pivotal moment for Resorts World New York City, and we are eager to experience it with our neighbors.” The scale of the hiring effort is notable by itself. The introduction of table games has created 1,250 jobs, with 950 new dealers among them. The property's current workforce stands at 2,200 and is forecast to surpass 2,700 by summer. Its dealer school has already qualified and employed more than 400 people from the local area, with an additional 500 graduates anticipated by May. Another training initiative started in 2022 has provided gaming operations instruction to over 350 local residents. On opening day, the celebrations will match the occasion. Queens native Nas is scheduled to participate alongside Genting chairman KT Lim, public officials, and community figures for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and a symbolic first roll of the dice.Looking further ahead, Genting's vision extends well beyond the new gaming floor. The complete development plan includes 6,000 slot machines, 800 live table games, 2,000 hotel rooms, a 7,000-seat concert venue, over 12 acres of public parkland, a full-service spa, and an innovation hub based around the Jet Center, associated with Kenny “The Jet” Smith. Resorts World has been in operation in Queens since 2011 and claims to have contributed $5 billion to the state's education fund. This article is provided by a third-party.

Google Stops 270.7 Million Gambling Ads in 2025 iGame

Google Stops 270.7 Million Gambling Ads in 2025

(AsiaGameHub) - Google took down large quantities of gambling ads in 2025, and regulatory pressure continues to mount. New data from the tech giant indicates that betting and gaming remained among the top problematic categories for online advertisements. Good to Know In 2025, Google either blocked or removed 270.7 million ads related to gambling and gaming. Over 99% of policy-violating ads were halted before being served to users, with a total of more than 8.3 billion ads blocked or removed across all categories. In 2026, both Brazil and Europe increased pressure—Brazil over concerns about unauthorized betting apps, and Europe via stricter certification rules for gambling ads. Google Reduces Gambling Ads Amid Growing Regulatory Pressure Gambling and gaming were among the most frequently blocked ad categories in Google’s latest Ads Safety Report. The company reported blocking or removing 270.7 million ads in this segment in 2025, while an additional 123.9 million were restricted. Google also noted that Gemini-powered systems helped stop over 99% of violating ads before they were displayed. Keerat Sharma, vice president and general manager of ads privacy and safety at Google, said: “Our teams have long used advanced AI to identify and stop scammers, and Gemini takes that work even further. Our models analyse hundreds of billions of signals — including account age, behavioural cues and campaign patterns — to stop threats before they reach people. “Unlike earlier keyword-based systems, our latest models better understand intent, helping us spot malicious content and preemptively block it, even when it’s designed to evade detection.” Google’s broader enforcement efforts were extensive in 2025. The company suspended 24.9 million advertiser accounts, including 4 million linked to scams, and removed 602 million scam-related ads. Enforcement actions also targeted publisher content, with measures applied to more than 480 million web pages. Beyond Google’s own platforms, regulators are ramping up pressure on distribution channels. In Brazil, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security stated that Google Play and the App Store contained over 120 betting apps without federal authorization and proper age-access controls. Google has already tightened its gambling ad rules in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Starting March 23, 2026, accounts seeking gambling and games certification must demonstrate good policy compliance, and repeated violations can lead to certification revocation across managed accounts.

New York Sues Coinbase and Gemini Titan Over Prediction Markets iGame

New York Sues Coinbase and Gemini Titan Over Prediction Markets

(AsiaGameHub) - New York has targeted two prediction market operators directly. Attorney General Letitia James states that Coinbase and Gemini Titan provided event contracts which violate state gambling laws. Good to Know New York is seeking damages, fines, profit forfeiture, and user compensation. The state claims both platforms allowed 18-year-olds to trade in a market where sports betting requires users to be 21. Coinbase started offering event contracts in January, while Gemini Titan obtained CFTC approval in December 2025. New York Files Gambling Lawsuit Against Coinbase And Gemini Titan Instead of waiting for federal proceedings to play out, New York took legal action. James filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court, alleging Coinbase and Gemini Titan ran illegal gambling operations by offering sports and other event contracts without a state license. The case covers more than just licensing issues. New York says both platforms gave younger users access to products tied to uncertain outcomes, neglected state tax obligations, and offered contracts involving in-state college teams—something legal sportsbooks in New York are forbidden from doing. James said:“Gambling by another name is still gambling, and it is not exempt from regulation under our state laws and Constitution. “Gemini and Coinbase’s so-called prediction markets are just illegal gambling operations, exposing young people to addictive platforms that lack necessary guardrails. My office is taking action to protect New Yorkers and stop these platforms from breaking the law.” New York is seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. James also wants fines, profit forfeiture, and restitution. Coinbase alone faces an alleged $2.2 billion in damages. Coinbase entered the event contract space in January with markets linked to sports, elections, and entertainment. Gemini Titan, developed by Gemini Space Station, received CFTC approval as a Designated Contract Market in December 2025. Even so, New York argues state law still applies because the products meet the legal definition of gambling.This argument rests on a simple point: in the attorney general’s view, users are staking money on outcomes outside their control or on games of chance. Under New York law, that is gambling, no matter what label a platform uses. This article is provided by a third-party.

How Payment Methods in Online Casinos Have Evolved iGame

How Payment Methods in Online Casinos Have Evolved

(AsiaGameHub) - Online casinos have adapted over time, integrating new technologies to meet the changing demands of players. Since the industry's inception in 1994, we have witnessed numerous technological strides. New technologies are consistently utilised to improve player experiences in newly developed games, often introducing fresh mechanics. Additionally, technology has been employed to bolster player safety, ensuring online gambling is conducted with greater responsibility and care. The impact of technology is perhaps most visible in the realm of payments. The rise of the internet and online shopping has naturally led to the availability of digital options that prioritise security and efficiency. Today, digital entertainment is just as prevalent as purchasing groceries or settling bills online. Top online casinos are now accessible in numerous countries across the globe, featuring payment methods that have transformed in response to technological advancements and global market needs. While some markets offer arguably superior options due to licensing regulations, others differ. For instance, the Nettikasinot in Finland provide players with secure and reliable alternatives that may not be found elsewhere. In some regions, you might find cryptocurrency available, while in others, it is not. The transformation of payment options in online casinos As our brief history of payment methods illustrates, the online casino sector has experienced several shifts that have benefited players and arguably fueled the continued expansion of the iGaming market.It is important to recognise that this evolution has been propelled by stricter KYC/AML regulations, increased fraud risks, and the player desire for immediate fund access and account security. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the majority of online casinos depended on bank transfers and wire payments, processes that were manual and often took days to clear. As online banking developed, credit and debit cards—such as Visa, Mastercard, and later Amex and Maestro—became the standard, offering players near-instant deposits and greater accessibility. However, it is worth noting that withdrawals via these methods have historically been slow and remain a source of frustration for many. E‑wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller emerged in the 2000s and rapidly became essential to online casino transactions. They accelerated both deposits and withdrawals while keeping players' banking information private from the casino. Services such as Neteller and Skrill also introduced prepaid features and VIP programmes, establishing them as popular “bank‑proxy” tools with fees that were frequently lower than those of traditional card or bank processing. With the surge in mobile gambling, contactless and mobile‑first solutions like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Pay‑by‑Phone (which adds deposits to your phone bill) have become standard deposit methods, particularly in regulated markets like the UK and Europe. Instant‑bank transfers, including Trustly‑style “open‑banking” rails and local schemes like iDeal or Sofort, now enable players to transfer funds directly from their bank accounts in seconds, often facilitating same‑day withdrawal settlements.Since the 2010s, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin have established a niche within online casinos by providing anonymity, low‑fee cross‑border transactions, and on‑chain transparency. Concurrently, prepaid cards and vouchers (including Paysafecard, Neosurf, region‑specific cards, and local cash‑top‑up networks) have expanded, especially in areas where card usage is limited or where minors must be prevented from playing. Will payment methods continue to evolve? A key strength of the online casino industry is its capacity to adapt to and adopt technological innovations. Payment methods are set to undergo constant change, driven by players' perpetual desire for the best possible financial experiences. Whether it involves quicker withdrawals, enhanced safety, improved anonymity and security, or entirely new monetary features, users will always seek to benefit from these advancements when utilising a payment method on an entertainment platform. The widespread impact of artificial intelligence is evident across many sectors. AI‑driven systems are expected to facilitate real‑time fraud detection, automated risk‑based routing, and personalised payment flows (such as recommending the fastest or most cost‑effective method for your specific region and stake). This development could strengthen chargeback controls for operators while providing players with integrated budgeting tools. Open‑banking and direct bank‑API integrations are likely to grow, permitting players to authorise deposits and withdrawals directly via their banking apps with instant settlement, thereby reducing reliance on card networks. Future models might introduce “gambling‑specific” bank sub‑accounts featuring built‑in spending limits and real‑time affordability checks. Furthermore, biometric authentication (utilising face‑ID, fingerprints, or device‑behaviour analysis) alongside tokenisation is expected to become standard for authorising larger or higher‑risk transactions, significantly enhancing security. Cryptocurrencies and blockchain‑based tokens may transition from niche casinos to the mainstream, utilising on‑chain wallets, stablecoins, and programmable “smart‑contract” payouts that automatically release winnings upon meeting certain conditions. Blockchain technology could also support transparent bonus tracking and provably fair game audits, directly linking payment systems to game integrity.Conclusion Online casinos have navigated multiple technological evolutions, particularly within payment methods. These changes have been crucial in building player trust, as users feel secure during transactions. Moreover, they recognise that the most favourable options are those that enable the fastest receipt of funds, allowing them to value the services provided more highly than in the past.
