GR8 Tech: Optimizing the World Cup Through Geo-Specific Configurations

(AsiaGameHub) - Denys Parkhomenko, Chief Product Officer at GR8 Tech, explains how operators can use technology to effectively tailor their offerings for this summer’s World Cup. The difference between providing a uniform experience and truly customizing for each region, he notes, can mean the difference between success and failure during this high-stakes event. The World Cup is sure to drive traffic to nearly every sportsbook. What’s not guaranteed is the amount of value operators can extract from that traffic—and that’s what every operator aims to maximize. That’s where localization comes into play. While the event is global, player behavior isn’t. How users navigate, place bets, react to offers, and remain engaged varies by market. Brands that offer a single generic experience across all markets will still capture the traffic surge from the World Cup’s biggest matches. But brands that tailor the UX, messaging, and engagement flow to local player behavior will generate more revenue from the same event. How player behavior changes regionally In certain markets—particularly parts of LatAm—World Cup engagement is fueled by speed and simplicity. Players seek a streamlined, football-focused experience, live odds, and quick access to the bet slip, especially during high-pressure match periods when attention rapidly shifts from one game to another. Expectations differ in other markets. European audiences often respond better to greater betting depth during the tournament, including specialty markets, micro-markets, and more detailed bet-building. In those regions, providing more options can boost engagement instead of causing friction. The same trend holds for retention during the tournament. In some regions, operators see better results with prominent promotions, missions, streaks, and CRM prompts linked to daily World Cup moments—like kickoffs, key wins, upsets, and knockout games. In others, retention relies less on heavy promotion stacking and more on product trust: seamless performance, fast payouts, and timely updates about the biggest matches. MENA markets, for example, often react more positively to bold design and robust bonus structures, while some SEA markets—where in-play betting plays a major role—need a World Cup experience centered on real-time odds updates, fast bet placement, and tools like Bet Builder. What operators should localize for World Cup performance Above all, operators should localize the aspects of the experience that directly impact player actions and repeat engagement. Start with UI prioritization. Decide what deserves the most visibility in each market during the tournament: live betting, bet builder, key matches, or specific market types. Small front-end choices can have a big impact when traffic is high and attention spans are short. Next, focus on promotional messaging. The same offer won’t perform equally across all regions if it’s framed in a generic way. Messaging should reflect the local tone, be relevant, and address what actually motivates players in that market to click, deposit, or return. CRM strategies should also be built around tournament milestones instead of fixed schedules. Before kickoff, during matchdays, after major upsets, and following eliminations, communication should shift based on where the player is in their World Cup journey. Adapting bonus and mission structures is also worthwhile. In some markets, matchday rewards may be more effective. In others, streaks, quests, or tournament-long challenges can do more to encourage repeat play. Lastly, operators should localize retention efforts post-match and post-tournament. The World Cup creates a natural traffic spike, but keeping players engaged depends on what comes next—whether it’s the next round, another football event, or fostering a broader sportsbook habit beyond football. Localization without platform complexity with GR8 Tech You don’t need to completely overhaul your platform to effectively localize for the World Cup. With GR8 Tech’s Sportsbook via iFrame, operators can still adjust the elements of the experience that most directly impact performance: UI priorities, market visibility, promotional framing, and CRM journeys. That’s important because much of World Cup localization is about execution. Geo-targeted CRM lets operators run different matchday prompts, missions, retention flows, and post-match follow-ups by market—all while keeping launch timelines tight. In that way, the iFrame model isn’t just a quick path to market; it also provides operators with a practical way to localize the player experience for the tournament without delaying deployment. The World Cup is global, but performance is local The operators who will benefit most from the tournament are those who use it to enhance business results, not just drive traffic. That translates to higher conversion rates on matchdays, better retention between games, and less churn after the final. The value lies in adapting the experience for each market—even if the core sportsbook remains unchanged. This article is provided by a third-party.

Allwyn achieves milestone in National Lottery modernisation iGame

Allwyn achieves milestone in National Lottery modernisation

(AsiaGameHub) - Allwyn has now invested over £450 million in modernising the National Lottery since taking over the operating licence in 2024. The company has described this as the most significant overhaul of the lottery since its inception in 1994, aiming to secure its future growth in the digital age. It's worth noting that the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) initiated an investigation last year, citing a potential breach of contract due to the delayed full implementation of planned updates beyond the agreed deadline. Although the investigation's findings have not yet been officially released, Allwyn has stated that the £450 million investment "satisfies the UKGC as the requirements for Fully Implemented Commencement as detailed under the Enabling Agreement have been achieved". The National Lottery experienced several temporary shutdowns to facilitate the rollout of these updates. In August of the previous year, Allwyn took the lottery offline to conduct a large-scale operation to replace outdated lottery terminals in over 40,000 locations across the country. Another substantial change occurred in January, when both the National Lottery website and its mobile applications were unavailable for 24 hours while Allwyn implemented modifications to the lottery's digital interface. These updates included a user experience redesign and the crucial integration of new player safety features. These enhancements feature mandatory personal deposit and spending limits, automatic hourly logouts during gameplay, and safer gambling messages for instant games. Financially, the first year under Allwyn's operation saw sales increase to £8.1 billion, a 3.5% rise year-on-year. Digital channel sales accounted for half of this total, amounting to £4.1 billion. Allwyn reported that 12 million individuals are now engaging with the National Lottery digitally. Furthermore, 2025 marked the first time in the lottery's history that digital sales surpassed retail sales, representing 51% of the total. The UKGC also acknowledged the National Lottery's popularity among UK consumers, with recent market analysis indicating it generates the second-highest Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) after online gaming. Finally, Allwyn's lottery enhancements resulted in over £1.7 billion being generated for Good Causes in 2025, averaging £33 million per week. The company remains optimistic about achieving its target of £60 million per week in Good Causes contributions by the conclusion of its licence in 2034. Andria Vidler, Chief Executive Officer of Allwyn UK, commented: “Allwyn is committed to restoring the magic to The National Lottery and delivering long-term growth. Being the guardian of this unique UK institution is a privilege and a responsibility we take incredibly seriously. “We are delighted to have delivered growth to The National Lottery while successfully completing the largest international upgrade in lottery history. This is a hugely exciting time for The National Lottery and its players, as these much-needed upgrades now allow us to launch new games and products, meaning we can generate more money than ever before for Good Causes.” This article is provided by a third-party.

SinoMab (03681.HK) Achieves Approximately 43.3% Year-over-Year Decrease in Annual Losses for 2025, Marking Significant Progress in Pipeline Advancement ACN Newswire

SinoMab (03681.HK) Achieves Approximately 43.3% Year-over-Year Decrease in Annual Losses for 2025, Marking Significant Progress in Pipeline Advancement

HONG KONG, Mar 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SinoMab BioScience Limited (“SinoMab” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 03681.HK) is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”).During the year, loss for the year was approximately RMB105.0 million, decreased by RMB80.1 million from RMB185.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Company focused on SM17 Phase 1b clinical, transformation bridging study and preparation of Phase 2 clinical trial in 2025, of which the cost was less than large scale clinical studies in 2024. As at 31 December 2025, total funding available to use was approximately RMB351.5 million, representing a significant increase compared to RMB141.4 million as at 31 December 2024. During the year, the Group gained support from well-known institutional investors including Foresight, Fullgoal, and E Fund, completed two rounds of new share subscriptions under general mandate and successfully raised an aggregate amount of approximately HK$493.7 million in net proceeds. This drove net cash flows from financing activities for the Reporting Period to approximately RMB329.4 million, providing sufficient funding to support subsequent R&D and clinical advancement.SM17 Achieves Multiple BreakthroughsSM17 is a global first-in-class humanised monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the receptor for IL-25, which is capable of modulating Type II allergic reaction by targeting the receptor of a critical “alarmin” molecule interleukin-25 (IL-25). The compound has the potential for treating atopic dermatitis (AD), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).In the field of atopic dermatitis (AD), SM17 precisely targets upstream drivers of Type 2 immune responses by blocking IL-25, a key “alarmin” cytokine, thereby suppressing the inflammatory cascade at its source. While currently approved AD therapies, including biologics, can significantly improve Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) scores and patients’ quality of life, current drugs under development or on the market cannot simultaneously meet the clinical needs for rapid itch relief, skin lesion recovery, and good safety profiles, indicating substantial unmet market demand. SM17’s key innovation lies in its upstream modulation of the Th2 inflammatory cytokine pathway via IL-25 receptor inhibition, thereby suppressing multiple downstream pathogenic signaling pathways. Preclinical studies have demonstrated its potential for rapid itch relief, significant skin lesion recovery, and a favorable safety profile, directly addressing the key limitations of current therapies.In April 2025, SM17 achieved encouraging positive results in a Phase 1b study in China for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD): 12-week topline data after unblinding showed that in the high dose group, 91.7% of patients achieved pruritus relief (NRS-4), 75% achieved skin healing (EASI 75), and 41.7% achieved clear or almost clear signs of AD (IGA0/1). These results significantly outperform IL-4/IL-13 monoclonal antibodies and demonstrate a significantly better safety and tolerability profile than Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAK inhibitors), making SM17 potentially the first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics which can simultaneously achieve rapid onset of action on pruritic relief, skin healing with a good safety profile. Study results of SM17 were published in various leading international journals. Phase 2 clinical trial for AD is expected to be entered into as early as mid-2026.On 11 December 2025, an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) for SM17 in the indication of IBD was filed with and accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (the “CDE”) of the National Medical Products Administration of China (“NMPA”), and the IND was subsequently approved in February 2026. This IND submission represents an important step toward expanding SM17’s therapeutic scope beyond AD to IBD, including Crohn’s disease (“CD”) and ulcerative colitis (“UC”), which are chronic, debilitating conditions with significant unmet medical needs. In October 2025, the first cohort of healthy subjects was dosed in a Phase 1 bridging clinical trial for the route of administration conversion in China. As of 31 December 2025, a total of 30 healthy subjects had been enrolled and our follow-up visits for all healthy subjects were completed in February 2026. This bridging study is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2026. Data from this study will be leveraged to support the progression of the IBD indication directly to Phase 2 clinical development.Early-Stage Pipelines Drive Continuous Innovation GrowthIn terms of early-stage pipeline development, the Company continues to make steady progress. In June 2025, Its partner, Everest Medicines, has announced positive results from the Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial of EVER001 (SinoMab’s SN1011) for the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN), further enhancing the commercial value of the pipeline.At the same time, multiple early-stage R&D programs are progressing steadily. Anti-CGC antibody is an in-house developed, first-in-class humanised anti-γc antibody. Our in vitro assays suggested that our antibody could suppress inflammation and autoimmunity driven B, T and NK cell activation. Animal studies demonstrated that our antibody could be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of vitiligo, alopecia areata and possibly other autoimmune diseases through the modulation of immune cell expansion, autoreactivity and tissue infiltration. We are currently in the process of CMC optimisation and toxicology studies for our antibody and plan to submit our IND application for the treatment of alopecia areata by the fourth quarter of 2026 at the earliest.Bispecific antibody candidate is a novel, bispecific antibody targeting Receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and sclerostin for bone-related indications. bsAb processes differential mechanisms of action tailored for the treatment of osteoporosis. Our in-house in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated our candidate to have enhanced efficacy over market-approved antibodies such as Denosumab and Romosozumab. We are currently in the process of optimising CMC and testing toxicity in non-human primates and plan to submit our IND application by the first half of 2027 at the earliest.Expanding Strategic Partnerships and Gaining Strong Industry RecognitionsIn August 2025, the Company entered into a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with Sun Yat-sen University Institute of Advanced Studies Hong Kong Limited (“SYSU-IAS”). Under the cooperation agreement, the Company enjoys direct access to SYSU-IAS’s comprehensive laboratory facilities and valuable data resources, as well as access to primate and non-primate animal studies supply resources, to accelerate the development of innovative drugs and promote the translation of scientific research into clinical applications worldwide. Furthermore, the Company is actively exploring the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) technology for new target identification.In January 2026, the Company was invited to participate in the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, where it shared its progress in the autoimmune field with multiple multinational pharmaceutical companies (MNCs) and investors.With the support of our strong R&D capabilities, extensive pipeline assets and refined operational management, we are thrilled to obtain renowned awards during the year, including the 2nd “New Quality Productive Forces Enterprise Award” jointly presented by the Greater Bay Area Family Office Association and the Hong Kong International Family Office Association, as well as the “Most Valuable Pharmaceutical Company Award” presented by Zhitong Finance.Dr. Shui On LEUNG, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SinoMab, comments: "In 2025, we demonstrated the global competitiveness of our innovative pipeline with solid clinical data. The outstanding performance of SM17 in AD and its indication expansion to IBD signify our continuous transition from single-product R&D to the realisation of platform value. Looking ahead to 2026, the biopharmaceutical industry has been accelerating into the “Biotech 3.0 Era”, which is characterised by innovation-driven development, multidisciplinary integration, and intelligent processes across the entire supply chain. We are well-positioned to capture the historic opportunity of the rapid growth of out-licensing deals in China’s biopharmaceutical industry, continue to advance the clinical development of our core pipelines, and deepen our international partnership footprint. Relying on our solid cash reserves, full-spectrum capabilities across the industry chain and the principle of differentiated innovation, we strive to maximize the returns of shareholders in the long run and provide life-changing breakthrough therapies for patients.”About SinoMab BioScience LimitedSinoMab BioScience Limited (Stock Code: 03681.HK) is a pioneer in the research and development of first-in-class and potential best-in-class therapeutic antibody drugs, focusing on autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and other debilitating diseases, committed to addressing unmet medical needs.

Viral Claim Ties Epstein to 2008 Powerball Jackpot iGame

Viral Claim Ties Epstein to 2008 Powerball Jackpot

(AsiaGameHub) - In July of last year, a former Atlantic City Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino manager stated he had witnessed President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein together at the casino property, accompanied by underage girls. Epstein's ties to the gambling industry seemingly extended even deeper. The troubling Epstein Files uncovered an email from an investigative journalist to withdrawn recipients, which provided information on how the controversial financier and convicted sex offender allegedly won a Powerball jackpot. Currently, a contentious post on X, which has amassed millions of views, claims that on July 2, 2008, Epstein won an $85 million Powerball jackpot. Controversy Over the Zorro Trust Name The winning Powerball numbers for that drawing were 4, 33, 46, 48, 52, with 17 as the red Powerball, with an $85 million jackpot. The ticket was purchased in Oklahoma and featured a one-time cash option of $41.3 million. The assertion from the X account that revived the lottery win speculation about the controversial, deceased criminal was examined by Grok, the artificial intelligence assistant developed by xAI, to assess the claims. Grok ultimately verified that the Zorro Trust had collected the $85 million jackpot as a lump-sum payment of approximately $29.3 million after taxes from the July 2, 2008 drawing, for a ticket bought in Altus, Oklahoma. According to Grok, the trust's name corresponds to Epstein's trust associated with his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Grok added that based on the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice, the "Zorro Trust (belonging to Epstein)" had won the jackpot. The AI assistant also confirmed that lottery officials at that time adhered to standard protocol, permitting anonymity via trust formation. Additionally, the social media platform's AI assistant noted that no fraud was substantiated. "The Name Was Simply a Coincidence" Brice Gordon, Epstein's ranch manager, was reportedly the trustee of the trust and the individual who signed the documents required to claim the prize, though this assertion has not been officially verified. More controversially, when the AI assistant was asked a separate question about how many times Epstein had won the lottery, it provided a contradictory response, stating that Epstein had never won the lottery. Although the 2008 Oklahoma Powerball jackpot was claimed by a Zorro Trust to maintain anonymity, local news reports from that period indicated the winner was a grocery store worker from Altus. The winner had apparently given her trust the same name as Epstein's Zorro entity for his New Mexico ranch. "The identical name was purely coincidental. References in recent files are unverified notes, not evidence. There are no recorded wins." Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Stanley was situated over 400 miles from Altus. New Mexico has participated in Powerball since 1996. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

Estonia Advisor Dismissed Over Gambling Tax Act Error Plans to Appeal Decision iGame

Estonia Advisor Dismissed Over Gambling Tax Act Error Plans to Appeal Decision

(AsiaGameHub) - A veteran adviser to Estonia's Riigikogu Chancellery, fired due to a clerical mistake in the Gambling Tax Act, plans to appeal her dismissal. The official, identified by Estonian broadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR) as Piia Schults, stated she is deeply affected by her "terrible" error but views it as her "duty to bring the matter before a court". The legislation was approved last December, leading to online casinos being tax-exempt in 2026 as Estonia aims to position itself as an iGaming centre. The mistake, which has now been corrected, was discovered in January and attributed to Schults. Estonia's tax on remote gambling will decrease from 6% to 4% by 2029, then fall by 0.5% each subsequent year, with all revenue directed to culture and sports. Nevertheless, the error has had significant consequences, with the state expected to forfeit around €4m (£3.45m) in anticipated gambling tax income this year. However, Schults, who maintained an excellent reputation across more than thirty years of service without prior criticism, is consulting a lawyer to fight the decision. She informed ERR that she considers the case "fundamentally a question of principles". "I must contest this. Maybe it will motivate other colleagues as well," she remarked. "You simply cannot treat an individual like this. I will contest this for everyone, with my colleagues and Estonian society in mind." "I believe the public has a right to be aware of events in the public sector. We are not isolated units – we all coexist here in small Estonia, visible to each other." Chancellery Director Antero Habicht issued a written statement to the national outlet regarding the matter. "Considering all factors, this action was inevitable and required; continuing a trust-based relationship was no longer feasible," he stated. "Given that the official intends to seek legal recourse to protect her rights, we deem it inappropriate to offer further public commentary. "Formal dismissal procedures are always a final measure. Typically, issues are addressed confidentially and resolved through discussion. We will not comment on any previous errors in this instance." Hurdles for Estonia's iGaming Ambitions This development is the most recent in a string of incidents concerning Estonia's gambling sector in recent months. The nation seeks to become a recognised iGaming hub, as noted, emulating models adopted by jurisdictions such as Malta, Gibraltar, and the Isle of Man. By 2029, its remote gambling tax will be lower than Malta's 5%, which could attract more operators to establish operations there. Yet, this episode reveals ongoing issues with transparency in the process. When asked about Schults' firing, Finance Minister and Estonian Reform Party member Jürgen Ligi commented: "It certainly appears unjust. But what is the Reform Party's connection to this, and why is Isamaa party involved? "The relevant draft law – the Gambling Tax Act – was not something I endorsed, yet a technical error happened under considerable pressure. Meetings with officials were largely held at the Riigikogu and online. "A minor deletion mistake happened, resulting in an extra word remaining. However, I do not believe a person should be severely punished for that." This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

HIES introduces plant-based lubricant that reduces air compressor lifecycle CO(2) emissions by 40% JCN Newswire

HIES introduces plant-based lubricant that reduces air compressor lifecycle CO(2) emissions by 40%

TOKYO, Mar 24, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd. (hereinafter HIES, part of Hitachi, Ltd. Connective Industries (CI) Sector) has launched “GREEN SCREW OIL”, a plantbased lubricant for oil-flooded screw air compressors. Because the plant-derived raw materials absorb CO₂ during growth, the new lubricant cuts manufacturing-stage CO₂ emissions by approximately 90%. Even including emissions at disposal, its CO2 emissions across the entire lifecycle can be reduced by approximately 40%(estimated value) compared to conventional synthetic oils.Air compressors are widely used manufacturing and social infrastructure fields. HIES' air compressors form a significant part of the installed base for “HMAXTM(*1) Industry”, a digital service that embodies Lumada 3.0(*2), offering predictive diagnostics powered by machine learning and operational/maintenance support through generative AI. Delivered via “FitLiveTM(*3)”. These solutions support efficient and sustainable operations. Aligned with Hitachi’s sustainability strategy “PLEDGES(*4)”, which is based on the management plan “Inspire 2027,” and promotes decarbonization under the P: Planet pledge, “GREEN SCREW OIL” further enhances the environmental value of digitalized assets and supports the creation of more sustainable industrial sites.Product OverviewOil-flooded screw air compressors require lubricants to prevent component wear and provide cooling, as a pair of screw rotors rotate at high speeds to compress air. Conventional lubricants are derived from crude oil, and CO2 is emitted during their manufacturing process. “GREEN SCREW OIL” uses plants as raw materials that absorb CO2 through photosynthesis. This means that during manufacturing, CO2 emissions are reduced by 90%. Even when considering the disposal stage, total emissions are reduced by 40%. Its performance is equivalent to conventional synthetic oils, and it can be used with a two-year replacement cycle.Going forward, we also plan to expand this initiative to Hitachi Global Air Power's oil-flooded screw air compressors, which are under Sullair brand within Hitachi Group, and HIES’ oil-free air compressors. Hitachi Group air compressors hold a significant global market share. We estimate that replacing all lubricant used in the Group's air compressors with plant-based alternatives could reduce CO2 emissions by over 2,000 tons annually.Hitachi’s Connective Industries (CI) Sector, to which HIES belongs, focuses on “Integrated Industry Automation”, which aims to expand “HMAX Industry” into growth industries horizontally. HMAX Industry provides next-generation solutions for the industrial field that combines data from an abundant installed base of products (digitalized assets), domain knowledge, and advanced AI. As part of the CI Sector, HIES aims to drive innovation for frontline workers through the delivery of “HMAX Industry” that embodies Lumada 3.0.(*1) Hitachi Group's next-generation solutions leveraging AI to innovate social infrastructure, deployed globally and across industries(*2) Lumada 3.0: An evolution of Lumada, leveraging AI enhanced with Hitachi's domain knowledge.

Secret Spending and Trading Card Mania Burden Couples’ Finances iGame

Secret Spending and Trading Card Mania Burden Couples’ Finances

(AsiaGameHub) - Infidelity in a relationship is typically a straightforward concept. But infidelity can manifest in other ways, and one key form revolves around financial matters. This is what’s now referred to as financial infidelity—a major source of relationship strain that’s growing increasingly prevalent. Dishonesty About Money Though less dramatic than traditional infidelity, financial infidelity shows up in similar ways: hiding expenses, keeping separate bank accounts secret, and minimizing debts. Over time, these behaviors can escalate into larger problems. A study by the National Endowment for Financial Education finds that a significant number of partnered adults have lied about money at some point. Even more report that financial secrecy has affected their relationship—particularly trust, which is far harder to restore than a depleted bank account. It’s Easier to Spend and Invest A key driver of financial infidelity is how easy it now is to spend or invest money without others finding out—thanks to mobile apps, online marketplaces, and digital wallets. For some, this leads to habits that look like risky behavior, especially when funds are tied to speculation. One area gaining increasing attention is the expanding trading card market—a once-nostalgic childhood hobby that’s now a thriving industry. Enthusiasts keep collecting rare cards that fetch high prices, fueling tales of big profits and adding allure through a blend of nostalgia and the dream of quick cash. But the very aspects that make trading cards exciting also make them unstable—prices hinge on trends, popularity, or the fame of the athletes featured on the cards. Experts note that this kind of market can act like gambling—with uncertain outcomes and a powerful urge to keep spending. Financial secrecy often takes root in such environments. Someone might start with small buys and slowly ramp up spending, especially if they think a big payout is imminent. Rather than discussing worries, they might hide losses or put off tough talks. Outside Help May Be Needed Couples who openly and honestly discuss income, debt, and goals tend to be better prepared to handle various challenges. Setting a joint budget and agreeing on limits for non-essential spending is a great way to sharply reduce conflict risk. For more serious issues involving significant sums, outside help from financial advisors and counselors can have a major impact.

UK Gambling Levy Rollout Raises Sector Concerns iGame

UK Gambling Levy Rollout Raises Sector Concerns

(AsiaGameHub) - The introduction of a new statutory levy intended to finance gambling harm services throughout the UK has generated apprehension among charities and support organizations, as the initial funding allocations leave many facing an uncertain future. UK Gambling Harm Fund Faces Backlash Over Transition Timing This system, projected to generate between GBP 90 million ($120.8 million) and GBP 100 million ($134.2 million), is designed to offer sustained support for harm prevention, addiction treatment, and research. The government directs the distribution of these funds, with prevention services in England being overseen by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). However, the recent disclosure of initial funding outcomes has brought tensions within the sector to the forefront. Organizations that applied for transitional support were notified of decisions less than two weeks before the commencement of the new funding period, leaving insufficient time for planning. The Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN), which represents individuals and groups impacted by gambling harm, cautioned that the short notice period jeopardizes the stability of crucial services. The group suggested that rather than ensuring continuity, the process might lead to some organizations losing funding without a clear understanding of the consequences for those they assist. GLEN stated that the current situation has compelled some providers to make difficult decisions regarding whether to continue operations or cease entirely. The organization indicated that without the maintenance of current service levels, the transition could create voids in support for vulnerable individuals who depend on specialized assistance. UK Gambling Levy Structure Faces Questions Over Clarity The design of the levy has also faced scrutiny. Funding is divided among research, prevention, and treatment, with half allocated to treatment services. NHS England, which is currently undergoing substantial internal reorganization, is responsible for these services. Stakeholders have highlighted a lack of clarity and communication regarding the handling of treatment-related decisions. While GLEN acknowledged that OHID has made efforts to engage with the sector despite having limited prior experience with gambling harms, it expressed frustration over what it perceives as inadequate overall consultation. The group contrasted this with what it described as minimal engagement from other government bodies involved in the transition. Another significant concern revolves around whether the new framework accurately reflects real-world needs. Critics contend that funding decisions appear to have been made without a comprehensive evaluation of existing services and demand, increasing the likelihood that effective programs could be discontinued. The move to a government-controlled model also signifies a gradual transition away from established charity-led structures, including the work previously coordinated by organizations like GambleAware. Voices from within the sector have emphasized the importance of maintaining stability during this transition to prevent disruptions in care. Despite the criticisms, there are indications of cautious optimism. Officials have outlined plans to adopt a "test and learn" methodology, aiming to refine the system over time and enhance evidence-based decision-making. This article is provided by a third-party.

Fujitsu and Umios conduct joint pilot project for electronic traceability system to visualize seafood distribution JCN Newswire

Fujitsu and Umios conduct joint pilot project for electronic traceability system to visualize seafood distribution

Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, Mar 24, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Umios Corporation today announced the successful completion of a joint pilot project for an electronic traceability system to trace and visualize seafood distribution information. This initiative, conducted on February 1, 2026, aims to support the countering of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which is increasingly important for securing sustainable marine resources. The experiment focused on bluefin tuna farmed by the Umios Group in Wakayama Prefecture, establishing a mechanism for consumers to check distribution information from the farm to retail stores via smartphone. The project successfully validated the system's effectiveness for wider implementation in society. Both companies aim to commence operation of this system by fiscal year 2027 for some fish species handled by the Umios Group. In recent years, while demand for seafood has increased globally due to population growth and rising health consciousness, natural marine resources are declining, and securing sustainable marine resources has become an urgent issue. Countermeasures against IUU fishing are particularly critical, and countries worldwide are tightening marine resource management and fishing regulations. A common challenge for the fisheries industry is establishing mechanisms to clearly demonstrate and prove non-involvement with IUU fishing throughout the entire process, from procurement to distribution.The Umios Group has positioned "Action for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem" as one of its material issues in the sustainability strategy of its medium-term management plan, "For the ocean, for life 2027," and is promoting the establishment of an electronic traceability system that can quickly and reliably prove that the seafood it handles is unrelated to IUU fishing.Overview of the Pilot ProjectDate: February 1, 2026 (Saturday)Locations: Umios Marine Corporation Kushimoto Office (Wakayama Prefecture, aquaculture farm), Okuwa Co., Ltd. Izumi-Oda Store (Osaka Prefecture, retail store)Target Seafood: Bluefin tuna farmed at Umios Marine Corporation Kushimoto OfficeDetails: A pilot project for an electronic traceability system enabling consumers who purchased the target bluefin tuna at Okuwa Co., Ltd. Izumi-Oda Store to check the production history (from farming and landing to processing and sales) using smartphones, along with a consumer awareness survey.System Used: A system developed as a prototype by Fujitsu, which records and visualizes the entire production history. It was designed utilizing a traceability solution from Fujitsu Sustainability Value Accelerator[1] offered through Fujitsu's business model Uvance, which addresses societal challenges.Results: The experiment demonstrated that the system can reliably record and visualize production history information for the target bluefin tuna. Furthermore, in the consumer awareness survey (35 valid responses), approximately 91% responded that they "would consider or refer to it when purchasing," approximately 77% said it "leads to a sense of security and trust," and approximately 77% also stated that they "would be willing to pay an additional price for products with traceability information." This indicates that electronic traceability can also function as added value for products.Moving forward, both companies will leverage the insights gained from this pilot to expand the target fish species, enhance the system, and extend its application across the entire supply chain. This will accelerate the social implementation of transparency in seafood distribution and IUU fishing countermeasures.Fujitsu will drive progress toward both enhancing corporate value based on trust and ensuring the sustainability of natural resources by realizing cross-company and cross-industry value chain traceability through Uvance.(1) Fujitsu Sustainability Value Accelerator: A suite of services from Fujitsu that collects verifiable traceability data across companies and industries, enhances value chain transparency, and supports overall optimization and the creation of new business models.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

Gearing ratio was -29.8%.In 2025, China's economy demonstrated resilience with a 5% year-on-year GDP growth. However, the food and beverage market entered into the stage of stock competition and demand upgrading for functional and emotional values. Brand, quality, and flavors remained key drivers of purchasing decisions. Additionally, emerging formats such as instant retail, snack discount stores, and membership stores had brought about drastic changes in channels and consumer behaviors. Against the backdrop of intensifying market competition and evolving consumption patterns, a company's core competitiveness increasingly lies in building a strong moat for their core brands. Those that continuously drive product innovation and channel optimization around consumer needs will be more agile in capturing market opportunities, strengthening consumer trust, and ultimately achieving high-quality and sustainable long-term development.In 2025, the gross profit of the Instant Noodles business improved steadily. The Group’s revenue from the Instant Noodles Business was RMB28.421 billion, which grew slightly year-on-year, accounting for 35.9% of the Group’s total revenue. During the year, due to favorable raw material prices and selling prices, the gross profit margin of instant noodles expanded by 1.1 percentage points year-on-year to 29.7%, and the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year of 2025 in the Instant Noodles Business increased significantly by 10.1% year-on-year to RMB 2.252 billion, driven by the year-on-year increase in gross profit margin. During the year, in the face of intensifying industry competition, the Instant Noodles Business steadily advanced its core strategy of “consolidating blockbuster products, seizing the popular flavors track, and cultivating innovative products.” By continuously improving the product portfolio and forging deep collaborations with popular IPs, it effectively amplified brand presence and steadily optimized gross margin structure. On the product front, the business relied on deep cultivation of core blockbuster products and iterative flavor upgrades, while closely aligning with evolving consumer trends to precisely target the health-focused and premium market segments, tapping into new growth opportunities. On the marketing front, it leveraged mainstream social platforms such as Bilibili and Xiaohongshu to conduct omnichannel communication, combined with cross-industry collaborations with well-known IPs to reinforce the brand perception of high-end and convenient consumption. As a result, brand influence and market recognition improved significantly. Meanwhile, guided by aerospace-grade quality standards, the business promoted the full application of aerospace patented temperature control technology in the production line, fully demonstrating the brand’s differentiated advantages in product quality and technological innovation.The Beverages Business firmly executed the strategy of “consolidating core products and developing innovative products”, the revenue from the Beverages Business was RMB50.123 billion, accounting for 63.4% of the Group’s total revenue. During the year, due to favorable raw material prices and optimized product mix, the gross profit margin of Beverages expanded by 2.2 percentage points year on-year to 37.5%. Driven by a year-on-year expansion of gross profit margin, the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company in the Beverages Business for the year of 2025 increased significantly by 18.5% year-on-year to RMB 2.274 billion. During the year, the Beverages Business strengthened its core category advantages and proactively positioned itself in emerging tracks, establishing a collaborative growth model across the full product portfolio. On the product front, while consolidating core products, it continuously expanded into incremental growth segments by launching high-quality sugar-free offerings and aligning with the wellness consumption trend to create herbal wellness scenarios, successfully opening up new growth spaces such as products made from homologous medicinal and food materials. On the marketing front, the Company deepened IP collaborations to broaden audience reach, enhanced its presence in cultural tourism channels and high-end hotel partnerships, and targeted premium consumption scenarios. These efforts consistently elevated brand value, providing strong support for the business to achieve steady operations and sustainable growth.Mr. Wei Hong-Chen, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, 2026 is expected to see expanding domestic demand become a key driver of economic growth under a more proactive and effective macroeconomic policy, while the consumer market will also usher in a critical window of profound transformation. The food and beverage industry will closely follow the theme of high-quality development, and consumption stratification will become more refined. Functional attributes, emotional resonance, and green concepts are shifting from trends to mainstream factors, becoming core elements driving brand growth. In the face of opportunities and challenges in the new cycle, the Group will be guided by the spirit of “Back to Day 1” as its strategic direction, embracing the efficiency, agility and entrepreneurial drive of our founding days, and building a platform that encourages honesty, bold experimentation and mutual growth, thus fully unleashing the vitality of all employees. While unleashing organizational vitality, we will continue to strengthen our foundational R&D capabilities and digital operation systems.

International Career Institute Marks 20 Years with 100 Scholarships to Support Flexible Online Study ACN Newswire

International Career Institute Marks 20 Years with 100 Scholarships to Support Flexible Online Study

Sydney, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 23, 2026) - The International Career Institute (ICI) is marking its 20th anniversary with the launch of 100 scholarships, in a milestone initiative designed to widen access to flexible, career-focused online study. The scholarship announcement comes as more students look for practical ways to upskill, change careers or strengthen their professional credentials without putting work or family life on hold.New scholarships launched as International Career Institute celebrates two decades of career-focused educationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10373/288837_60f2135b4402f876_001full.jpgOver the past two decades, the International Career Institute has built its reputation as an independent private provider of online education focused on practical, job-relevant learning. ICI offers 57 courses, has supported 58,453 students, and has learners in 191 countries, reflecting a substantial international footprint.The anniversary scholarship campaign is intended to do more than mark a birthday. It reflects a wider shift in the education market, where students are increasingly prioritising flexibility, affordability and direct career outcomes. ICI positions itself around exactly those needs: online delivery, self-paced study, personal tutor support, included course materials, flexible payment plans and career services aimed at helping graduates move into employment or advance in their chosen field.Applicants for the Leadership Scholarships are asked to demonstrate leadership potential or current leadership responsibilities and to complete an application process that outlines their background and motivation for study. Applicants facing financial disadvantage will be given priority. The scholarship forms part of a broader ICI scholarship offering and positions the initiative as a way to recognise leadership and help recipients take the next step in their development.For many adult learners, flexibility is not simply an added benefit; it is the condition that makes study possible. At the International Career Institute, students can study at their own pace, with no classes to attend and no additional textbooks or materials to purchase. Its online study model is structured around module-based written assessments rather than traditional exams, while students receive guidance and feedback from personal tutors throughout the course.Dr Michael Machica, Director of the International Career Institute, said the anniversary was both a celebration of the institution's history and a statement of intent for its future."Reaching 20 years is a proud milestone for the International Career Institute and a moment to reflect on how education has changed. From the beginning, our goal has been to make career-focused learning more flexible, more practical and more accessible for people whose lives do not fit the traditional study model. Over the next 20 years, we see ICI continuing to expand its reach, strengthen its industry relevance and help even more learners build meaningful careers through online education that works in the real world."That long-term focus on accessibility and employability remains central to the International Career Institute brand. Central to ICI's offering is tutor support, affordable pricing, interest-free payment plans, included materials and graduate career services. Those services include assistance with resumes, job searches, cover letters and interview preparation - features that help distinguish ICI in a competitive online learning market where students are increasingly outcome-focused.ICI's programmes are developed in consultation with industry experts and aligned with real-world job opportunities. That proposition - flexible study paired with career relevance - has become increasingly important as more learners seek education that fits around existing work, business, or family commitments while still contributing to employability and advancement.The release of 100 scholarships also gives the anniversary a broader public-interest dimension. In a cost-conscious environment, even motivated learners can hesitate when considering professional study. By offering scholarships focused on leadership and development, ICI is positioning its 20th anniversary not simply as a milestone but as an opportunity to invest in the next generation of professionals and career changers.Prospective students can explore scholarship eligibility, course options and the International Career Institute online study model through the institute's website, where they can also view course pages, student reviews and information about graduate support. For those considering a career change, promotion pathway or a more flexible way to formalise their skills, the anniversary scholarships create a timely reason to act.About International Career InstituteICI is an independent private provider of online education and training established in 2006.

密蘇里州Vlasic Classic高爾夫賽事5月1日至3日重返Old Kinderhook度假村 支持「被遺忘的囚犯」計畫 Business

密蘇里州Vlasic Classic高爾夫賽事5月1日至3日重返Old Kinderhook度假村 支持「被遺忘的囚犯」計畫

(SeaPRwire) - Vlasic Labs 慈善高爾夫錦標賽將為 Jarred Shaw 及其家人籌款,他因持有大麻軟糖在印尼服刑 26 個月 密蘇里州坎登頓, 2026年3月16日 — Vlasic Labs 將於 2026 年 5 月 1 日至 3 日在 Old Kinderhook Resort 舉辦第四屆年度密蘇里 Vlasic Classic,匯聚大麻產業的領導者,共度一個充滿高爾夫、倡議和直接影響力的週末。今年的錦標賽將為司法改革倡議「The Forgotten Prisoner」籌集資金,該倡議致力於提高對過度量刑的認識並支持受影響的家庭。所得款項將直接用於支持前職業籃球運動員 Jarred Shaw 及其家人,他因購買用於控制克隆氏症的大麻軟糖而在印尼服刑 26 個月。 Shaw 曾是 NCAA 的明星球員和國際籃球運動員,於 2010 年被診斷出患有克隆氏症,並依靠大麻來控制這種慢性疾病。在為印尼籃球聯賽效力期間,他因不了解該國嚴厲的毒品法律,訂購了少量大麻軟糖。他最初面臨死刑,但最終被判處 26 個月監禁。在監禁期間,由於監獄條件惡劣,無法獲得適當的營養和醫生的診治,Shaw 的健康狀況惡化,其克隆氏症症狀加劇,導致體重減輕超過 30 磅。 除了為 Shaw 的家人籌款外,Vlasic Labs 正在積極在全美傳播他的故事,並鼓勵美國民眾禮貌地聯繫美國國務卿 Marco Rubio 和美國駐印尼大使 Peter Haymond,敦促外交介入和人道主義考量,以盡快將 Shaw 帶回美國。 「Vlasic Classic 已成為我們產業不僅是來競賽,更是來承擔責任的地方。作為一個產業,大麻界一直致力於釋放因大麻罪行服刑的人,但這場鬥爭不應在國界終止,」Vlasic Labs 執行長 Willy Vlasic 表示。「Jarred 犯了一個錯誤,但沒有人應該因為大麻面臨生命威脅,尤其是當它被用於控制有文件證明的醫療狀況時。我們正在為 Jarred 和他的家人籌款,分享他的故事,並推動將他驅逐回美國。」 「我從未想過,試圖控制我的克隆氏症會變成一場生死搏鬥,」Shaw 說。「這裡的條件讓我的健康變得更糟,無法獲得適當的營養或醫療照顧令人恐懼。知道家鄉的人們正在幫助我的家人並為我發聲,給了我希望。我只想恢復健康,回到我的母親和家人身邊。」 「Jarred 曾面臨死刑。那是非常真實的可能性,」Shaw 的法律倡議者、「The Forgotten Prisoner」創始人 American Negotiator Donte West 說。「他現在有一個釋放日期的事實意義重大,但這一切尚未結束。他正在一個無法滿足其醫療需求的監獄系統中,應對嚴重的健康狀況。這是人道主義關懷,而非政治。我們要求進行外交接觸,以確保他的健康與安全,並最終帶他回家。」 密蘇里 Vlasic Classic 持續擴大其日益增長的影響力。2025 年的錦標賽籌集了 20,000 美元,其中包括捐給 Freedom Grow 的 13,700 美元、捐給 Last Prisoner Project 的 5,000 美元,以及在 Deshaun Durham 獲釋後直接提供的 1,300 美元教育支持。在密蘇里、密西根和拉斯維加斯的系列活動中,Vlasic Classic 已為全美各地的第二次機會倡議籌集了超過 140,000 美元。過往 Vlasic Classic 的照片和其他媒體資料可在此處找到。 密蘇里活動將包括週五的歡迎交流會、週六在 Old Kinderhook 頂級 18 洞球場舉行的 shotgun-start 錦標賽,以及頒獎晚宴。來自球員報名費、贊助、抽獎和球場競賽的收益將用於支持 The Forgotten Prisoner 和 Jarred Shaw 的家人。 對於希望將其品牌與一個植根於問責、倡議和有意義社區支持的高影響力活動相結合的公司,贊助機會仍然開放。有關贊助資訊或報名,請聯繫 Willy@VlasicLabs.com。 關於 Vlasic Labs Vlasic Labs 致力於提供高品質、以大麻為基礎的保健產品,旨在滿足各種需求,同時優先考慮可負擔性、一致性和社會責任。由標誌性醃黃瓜品牌背後的家族創立,Vlasic Labs 的使命是在不犧牲品質和一致性的前提下,讓大麻素為大眾所用且可負擔。該公司支持司法改革工作,包括第二次機會倡議和為受大麻刑事定罪影響的個人進行倡導。透過像 Vlasic Classic 這樣的創新和影響力驅動的項目,Vlasic Labs 持續在全美推進健康與修復性司法。 消息來源 Vlasic Labs本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Australian High-Stakes Gambler Tied to Texas Lottery Sweep

(AsiaGameHub) - “The Joker,” a shadowy figure long recognized in gambling circles, identified himself as one of the architects behind one of the most audacious lottery maneuvers in recent history. Zeljko Ranogajec, a high-roller renowned for his bold tactics, reportedly acknowledged aiding in funding a 2023 operation that essentially secured a win in the Texas Lottery. The Guaranteed Win Was Not Easy The operation zeroed in on a Lotto Texas draw in April 2023, where a syndicate sought to execute a feat rarely attempted at such magnitude: covering nearly every possible number combination. The group acquired 25.8 million tickets, spanning nearly the full scope of potential outcomes, leaving no room for chance. With the jackpot climbing to $95 million, the underlying arithmetic rendered this brute-force method viable. Executing this plan came with a steep price tag of $25.8 million—one dollar per ticket. Yet, the payout became all but certain. The winning ticket delivered a lump-sum jackpot of $57.8 million. When combined with secondary prizes from other number matches, the group reportedly pocketed a profit of around $20 million. In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Ranogajec disclosed that the operation demanded intricate coordination. The group could not simply buy over 25 million tickets at convenience stores. Instead, they employed QR codes to print massive quantities of entries on what were described as licensed Texas Lottery terminals. This tight-knit organization condensed a process that would have taken days into just 72 hours. Texas Has Since Cracked Down on Lottery Couriers The operation’s sheer scale sparked immediate concern, with critics questioning how such a massive surge in ticket purchases slipped through the system uninterrupted. Allegations emerged swiftly, claiming that oversight gaps and even internal complicity enabled the scheme to succeed. Legal battles followed shortly. In 2025, former Texas Lottery CEO Gary Grief faced a class-action lawsuit alleging he conspired with the syndicate to facilitate their large-scale ticket printing and safeguard the winners’ anonymity. Regulatory changes preceding the event expanded courier service usage, extended ticket-printing timeframes, and relaxed controls on ticket generation locations and methods. The aftermath has been far-reaching, with multiple investigations examining whether the syndicate’s actions violated Texas law. Meanwhile, regulators have begun strengthening regulations. The Texas Lottery Commission has barred courier services that enable remote ticket purchases. This measure aims to eliminate one of the key tools employed in the operation and prevent similar exploits in the future. This article is provided by a third-party.
