Billion-Dollar Macau Money Laundering Case Leads to Charges

(AsiaGameHub) -   On Monday, authorities in Taiwan indicted 20 individuals for their roles in a money laundering operation that allegedly utilized Macau-based casinos to clean over TWD33 billion ($1.03 billion) in illicit funds. Law enforcement described the case as the country's "first cross-border casino money laundering case." The scheme allegedly involved depositing illegal gambling profits into the credit accounts of specific card runners, who then traveled to Macau to use high-limit cards for purchasing casino chips. These runners reportedly did little to no gambling. Instead, they either cashed out the chips for Hong Kong dollars—the primary currency in Macau's casinos—or handed them off to accomplices within the gaming center. Suspects connected to Asian iGaming firm According to the Yunlin District Prosecutor’s Office, the probe was initiated last November following a tip to the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) about a criminal organization recruiting money mules. Raids conducted in Taichung, Taipei, and New Taipei City resulted in the arrest of 20 suspects and 10 reported indictments. Charges have been filed under the Money Laundering Prevention Act. Local news reports have tied the syndicate to Jinzhou Entertainment City, an iGaming operator that targets players in Taiwan, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Online betting is prohibited in Taiwan and Cambodia and faces strict regulations in Vietnam. Alleged leaders, identified as Chen and Lin, are currently at large with 20-year arrest warrants issued. In 2024, International Community Radio Taipei reported that Jinzhou principals and associates were charged in a similar matter. The Taichung Prosecutor’s Office previously identified Lin as a "former high-ranking police officer" who allegedly used his role as a captain in the Taichung Criminal Investigation Corps to oversee a money laundering ring that netted approximately $1.4 million between 2021 and 2024. CIB: Police committed to ongoing money laundering fight In a statement regarding the case, the Taiwan Criminal Investigation Bureau said, “The police will continue to dismantle money laundering networks, enhance their technological investigative tools, and work with international judicial bodies to protect public assets and ensure a safe environment.” Marjorie PrestonMarjorie started her career in the gaming industry in 2007 and has concentrated on Asian markets since 2020.

Panama’s National Assembly Approves New Gambling Levy and Advertising Restrictions

(AsiaGameHub) -   Bill 403 puts forward a prohibition on gambling advertisements, other new restrictions, and a levy to support treatment programs. Panama.- The National Assembly has voted to pass a bill imposing new gambling restrictions in Panama. Sponsored by deputies Raúl Pineda and Crispiano Adames, Bill 403 now needs only final approval from President José Raúl Mulino Quintero to become law. Designed to enhance protection for vulnerable groups against gambling-related harm, the legislation will impose a 10 percent levy on the revenues of online gambling operators. Funds from the levy will go to the Institute of Mental Health (INSAM) to support the creation of treatment programs and the setup of a specialized gambling addiction center in Panama. As noted by Focus Gaming News Latinoamérica, the legislation will also ban gambling ads in traditional media, social media, and sports, and forbid the use of celebrities or influencers to promote gambling. It will also mandate that online platforms use biometric identification to keep minors from accessing gambling services. Additionally, payment methods will be limited to lower the risk of debt and unregulated spending. Oversight of the new rules will be handled by the Gaming Control Board (JCJ), which will have tools to monitor compliance in real time. Violations could lead to fines of up to 10 percent of an operator’s revenue, license suspensions, or criminal charges. Educational efforts are also included in the bill, with plans to roll out awareness programs in schools across the country. Panama’s action follows Brazil’s increase in its gambling tax rate and Colombia’s announcement of a new gambling consumption tax. This article is provided by a third-party.

Idaho among 39 states contesting CFTC’s sports betting authority expansion

(AsiaGameHub) -   Idaho has joined a 39-state coalition in a legal challenge against what the states claim is an effort by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to expand its regulatory authority, Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador announced Monday. The coalition is asking federal courts to reject the CFTC’s claim that it has exclusive jurisdiction over specific sports betting activities—a move the states say would strip them of their longstanding power to regulate or ban sports gambling within their borders. This legal action comes amid broader uncertainty about the agency’s evolving stance on prediction markets and event contracts, particularly following recent internal changes and policy debates at the regulator. ‘Idaho will continue defending our right to regulate gambling’ In a statement, Labrador said, “Under the CFTC’s reasoning, states like Idaho that opt to ban sports betting would be unable to enforce those bans.” “An unelected federal agency says it found hidden authority in 15-year-old financial reform laws to override state gambling laws across the country,” he added. “Congress never granted that power, and Idaho will keep fighting to protect our right to regulate gambling as we see fit.” The legal dispute escalated to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals after Nevada sued Kalshi and similar platforms to enforce its state gambling laws. The CFTC filed a brief supporting the platforms, arguing for federal preemption. In response, Idaho and 38 other states submitted an amicus curiae brief backing Nevada. The coalition stresses that if the CFTC’s position is upheld, states—including Idaho—would be barred from enforcing sports betting prohibitions or regulations. Dispute over regulatory authority The controversy centers on a new generation of online platforms—including Kalshi and Crypto.com—that have begun offering wagers on sports outcomes through federally regulated exchanges. These platforms have promoted their products as financial derivatives rather than conventional sports bets. Kalshi reported that customers traded more than $1 billion worth of contracts tied to the February 2026 Super Bowl. Historically, the CFTC had refrained from endorsing these contracts. In September 2025, the agency issued an advisory clarifying it had not approved such contracts and acknowledged state laws could block them. However, following a change in CFTC leadership, the commission reversed its stance and, in ongoing litigation, argued that these contracts qualify as “swaps”—a category of financial instruments subject to exclusive federal regulation. The four key arguments  The coalition’s brief outlines four key arguments: limits on federal agency jurisdiction, the need for clear congressional authorization, preservation of state powers, and the CFTC’s lack of expertise. Federal agencies cannot unilaterally expand their jurisdiction—especially in domains like gambling that states have traditionally regulated. Supreme Court precedents require explicit congressional approval for agencies to impose broad rules affecting matters of substantial national importance. The coalition asserts Congress did not expressly empower the CFTC to regulate sports betting when it authorized oversight of derivatives markets after the financial crisis. Transfers of traditional state functions to federal control must be explicit. Gambling regulation has long been a core state responsibility. Unlike states—which have established licensing regimes, age-verification systems, responsible gaming policies, and integrity monitoring—the CFTC lacks both gambling-specific expertise and statutory mandates in this sphere. The Ninth Circuit is presently considering consolidated appeals concerning whether state gambling enforcement applies to platforms offering event contracts and prediction markets through federally regulated exchanges. The 39-state coalition urges the court to confirm that states retain the authority to regulate or prohibit betting activities regardless of how platforms characterize their products.

Ukraine to Implement System Blocking Military Access to Gambling Platforms

(AsiaGameHub) -   This system will automatically deny access to military personnel who appear on the designated list. Ukraine.- According to reports, Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation and Ministry of Defence are developing a system designed to stop military personnel from accessing gambling websites. PlayCity, the country’s new state-run gambling regulator, will roll out the system, which will oblige platform operators to cross-verify all users against a list of serving military staff. Operators are already required to screen all gamblers against a registry of people who are banned from gambling. Moving forward, they will also have to run checks against the list of military personnel, and block access for any user who matches an entry on the list. Officials have stressed that operators will not be told if an individual is serving in the military; the system will only indicate if access restrictions are applicable, without revealing personal details. In an official post published on Facebook, the Ministry of Digital Transformation said: “We are continuing our structured efforts to combat gambling addiction. Our core objective is to protect service members and their families from the risks and negative impacts of problem gambling. To deliver this, we are working alongside the Ministry of Defence to create a mechanism that will limit the participation of defenders in gambling activities while martial law remains in place”. This new measure follows 2024 legislation passed in Ukraine to ban online gambling for all members of the country’s armed forces. The ban was initially prompted by a petition launched by a serving soldier, who cited multiple cases where service members spent their entire salaries on gambling, were forced to take out loans, fell into crippling debt, and even faced temptation to pawn military equipment to cover their losses. PlayCity launched its operations last year, taking over from the previous gambling regulator KRAIL. The body announced that it had blocked over 2,500 unlicensed online casino platforms throughout 2025. This article is provided by a third-party.

German survey sparks concern over gambling advertising

(AsiaGameHub) -   The findings of this study may impact the current evaluation of gambling regulations in Germany. Germany.- A comprehensive study involving nearly 4,800 German gamblers between the ages of 18 and 70 has revealed that individuals struggling with gambling issues are more likely to report being influenced by advertising. These participants noted a significant effect on their gambling-related interests, behaviors, and attitudes. The study's participants were recruited from a single online panel, with an average age of 47 and 57 percent identifying as male. The research focused on three specific areas of advertising's impact: shifts in gambling-related behaviors and attitudes; recognition of promotional activities; and familiarity with various gambling products and their providers. Using DSM-5 criteria, participants were categorized as non-problematic (0), at-risk (1–3), or disordered (4+). Across all measured categories, those with gambling disorders reported being more significantly affected by advertisements than those without issues. The strongest correlation was identified in the “involvement” segment, which assessed how advertising shaped attitudes and actions. Vulnerable individuals were much more likely to agree with the statement: “I tend to play after seeing gambling advertising” (36.5 percent compared to only 8 percent of non-problematic gamblers). Statistical analysis, adjusted for age and gender, indicated that higher involvement scores served as the most significant predictors of gambling problems. Each incremental increase in involvement raised the probability of reporting a DSM-5 symptom by 3.8 times and the likelihood of disordered gambling by 4.8 times. Men and younger respondents faced higher risks, independent of the effects of advertising. Men were approximately 1.4 times more likely to report problem gambling symptoms and 1.7–1.8 times more likely to experience disordered gambling. Increased age was linked to a lower risk profile. While the study did not differentiate between specific media channels, the authors pointed to previous research suggesting that social media and online ads were most closely linked to involvement, whereas television ads primarily influenced awareness and knowledge. The researchers argued that stricter regulations on advertising could limit exposure for younger audiences and vulnerable groups. They highlighted that advertising appears to disproportionately affect those already at risk, raising concerns regarding its broader social consequences. Although the survey size is relatively modest, it may carry significant weight as the GGL, Germany’s gambling regulator, concludes its five-year review of the Interstate Gambling Treaty for the Bundestag this year. The authority has committed to evaluating whether the current framework has met its objectives of balancing market sustainability, player protection, advertising restrictions, and the enforcement of online gambling regulations.

This recognition follows a year of impressive financial results and sustained momentum across the company. The company has been nominated in the Acquisition & Retention Partner category for its proprietary Motivational Engineering Gaming Application, MEGA, as well as for Platform Provider of the Year. Furthermore, MEGA Clawee, a nostalgic claw-machine game re-envisioned for online play and part of the MEGA suite, has also been nominated for Industry Innovation of the Year. Performance across Europe continues to validate Soft2Bet’s strategy.

UK National Lottery Transformation Hits Major Milestone with £450m Investment

(AsiaGameHub) -   Allwyn states that it has fulfilled the Gambling Commission's requirements as set out in its enabling agreement. UK.- Allwyn reports that it has now injected over £450m into modernising the UK National Lottery since assuming control from Camelot in February 2024. The firm characterises its overhaul under the fourth lottery licence as the most significant transformation of the lottery since its launch in 1994. The Gambling Commission initiated an investigation last year concerning delays in Allwyn’s modernisation of the lottery after several deadlines were missed. Although the findings have not yet been released, Allwyn indicates that the investment milestone demonstrates that the requirements for Fully Implemented Commencement (‘FIC’) outlined in the Enabling Agreement have been met. The National Lottery experienced multiple outages during this period. In August, Allwyn briefly halted operations to facilitate the replacement of lottery terminals across more than 40,000 retail locations. In January, the website and mobile apps were inaccessible for 24 hours during a digital system update designed to implement a new user interface and enhanced player safety protocols, including mandatory deposit and spending caps, hourly automatic logouts, and responsible gambling alerts for instant win games. From a financial perspective, Allwyn’s first full year leading the National Lottery resulted in a 3.5 per cent increase in sales to £8.1bn in 2025. Digital channels generated £4.1bn of this revenue, narrowly exceeding retail sales for the first time. Approximately 12 million players participated digitally. Funds raised for good causes in 2025 amounted to £1.7bn, averaging £33m per week. Allwyn has set a goal of reaching £60m per week by the expiration of its licence in 2034. Andria Vidler, CEO of Allwyn UK, stated: “Allwyn is dedicated to bringing back the magic to The National Lottery and driving sustainable growth. We consider the stewardship of this unique British institution to be both a privilege and a duty we treat with the utmost seriousness. “We are thrilled to be delivering growth for The National Lottery while successfully finalising the largest international lottery upgrade in history. This is a highly promising time for The National Lottery and its participants, as these essential upgrades enable us to introduce new games and products, allowing us to raise record sums for Good Causes.” This month, Allwyn UK appointed Katie Harbron as its new Director of Games. Her mandate is to foster innovation within The National Lottery’s game portfolio. The company also launched an internal creative and content production studio named Studio 59, a reference to the number of balls in the main lotto game. Allwyn stated that the creation of the new studio is in response to a “swift evolution in the marketing and media landscape, with rising demand for timely, relevant, and culturally aware content across digital platforms”. By enhancing its in-house capabilities, the company aims to expedite content production and streamline operational workflows. This article is provided by a third-party.

Philippine authorities aim at Roblox in gaming cybercrime drive

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Philippine National Police (PNP) has intensified its crackdown on cybercrime activities occurring on online gaming platforms, including the popular children's video game Roblox. This action follows concerns raised by prosecutors regarding elements within Roblox that bear resemblance to gambling, potentially exposing children to exploitation. The directive specifically targets issues of child exploitation and illegal gambling. Cybercrime crack down In an official statement issued on Sunday, PNP Chief General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. instructed the Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) to bolster its efforts in combating illegal conduct facilitated through online gaming applications. The gaming platform Roblox was specifically named in connection with reports alleging its misuse for purposes such as "sexual predation, grooming and exploitation of minors." Chief General Nartatez stated: "Our mandate of serving and protecting the people now encompasses cyberspace to keep them safe, especially for children. This is what modern policing also means, and your PNP has been keeping up." The PNP has confirmed its ongoing collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) to investigate these allegations. Officials have clarified that the enforcement efforts are not limited to Roblox, indicating that other online gaming and social media applications are also under close observation. ‘Child gambling’ Roblox boasts over 111 million daily users, with approximately 40% being under the age of 13. Its systems involving randomized rewards and purchasable virtual items have attracted scrutiny from both regulators and academics. Research conducted by the University of Sydney, along with interviews with children and parents, has revealed that young users often struggle to comprehend in-game currency and random-reward mechanics. Some parents have described these features as 'child gambling,' and have characterized transactions as 'scams' and 'cash grabs.' This intensified focus on enforcement also reflects a broader international trend in regulation. In Greece, authorities have recently taken steps to enhance protections for young people amidst growing concerns about harms associated with online betting, including measures to limit exposure to digital gambling content and strengthen oversight of online platforms.

DOCV warns that the latest GGL black – market estimates are ‘too conservative’, and the channelisation is still closer to 50%

(AsiaGameHub) -   Simon Priglinger-Simader, vice president of Germany's Deutscher Online Casinoverband (DOCV) trade association, has rejected the GGL's new 2025 channelisation statistics, labelling them as 'conservative' and incorrect. The GGL released a report exceeding 120 pages last week, estimating Germany's channelisation rate reached 77% in 2025. While the regulator evaluated different methods in the report, it ultimately conducted a survey of 2,000 people who had participated in online gambling (lotteries excluded) in the past year. Survey participants were questioned on whether they had used illegal operators during that time. Following his review, Priglinger-Simader stated the report was clearly flawed by "non-representative sampling," indicating the sample did not properly reflect those gambling on the black market. "Furthermore, there's a degree of recall bias when you ask someone if they are engaging in illegal gambling. Most likely, they will say no," Priglinger-Simader told iGB. He added, "The figures are not in line with the tax revenue numbers we are aware of." DOCV-commissioned 2023 report still more accurate on black market size In November 2023, the trade association published its own black market analysis, which found that as many as half of all players in Germany were using illegal sites. Priglinger-Simader asserts this assessment is more precise than the GGL's most recent report. "We still believe that, considering all the work done, a result showing a black market size of around 50% is much nearer to the real scale of the black market," he continued. The study was written by economist Gunther Schnabl from the University of Leipzig and utilised Nielsen gambling activity data to evaluate Germany's channelisation rate. This was merged with data on stakes placed on illegal sites, which Priglinger-Simader believes is probably significantly higher than current estimates indicate. Although the GGL's report stated black market Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) was €547 million in 2024, the trade body head calls this number "too conservative." "We believe the real turnover of illegal operators is far greater due to the abundance of bonuses, absence of player safeguards, no loss limits, no spin limits—essentially no regulations in the black market," he cautions. He also points out that licensed German operators have received feedback from customers stating they have switched to the black market to escape the strict controls and limitations imposed by the regulated market. "However, this information isn't robust enough for a case study to incorporate it [into the next analysis]," says Priglinger-Simader. Updated Schnable channelisation report expected soon A revised report from Schnabl is anticipated this summer, analysing 2025 data. "[They] are presently analysing 2025 figures using the Nielsen data panel from before and will produce an updated brief evaluation or perhaps a second edition of the study, possibly in June or July, around the summer," Priglinger-Simader added. Speaking on the report's methodology, he said, "They will use a refreshed list of illegal websites targeting Germany. Then it's essentially an update incorporating new illegal operators that have entered, along with the overall market evolution. For 2025, they have already compiled an updated list of illegal operators, as that landscape is very fluid and has changed over the past two or three years." Despite dismissing the GGL's latest figures, Priglinger-Simader concedes that the regulator's lowered channelisation estimate is a good indication it is beginning to comprehend the market better. Channelisation rate could be used to prevent Interstate Treaty review updates Back in June 2024, the regulator indicated the black market constituted only about 4% of the total sector. Priglinger-Simader is concerned, however, that this new data might be leveraged to the regulator's advantage during the current review of the German Interstate Treaty regulations. This review represents the licensed industry's sole opportunity for easing player restrictions such as compulsory deposit limits and slot stake limits. He cautions that the GGL could "use [the data] to claim everything is functioning perfectly, that no action is needed to bolster the legal [framework], and that licensed operators should simply carry on as before." The review is scheduled to finish next year. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

Study: Australian women worried marketing and CSR campaigns have ‘normalised’ gambling

(AsiaGameHub) -   A recent online study of 525 Victorian women aged 18 to 40 has uncovered worrying trends in how modern gambling marketing in Australia is altering female attitudes towards betting. The research underscored how current promotional and public relations efforts have increased women's involvement in gambling while minimising its associated dangers. This qualitative online survey took place in Victoria, Australia, from 14 June to 1 July 2024. The participants, mostly residents of metropolitan Melbourne (76%) with an average age of 31, reported high recent gambling engagement, with 79% having placed a bet in the previous year. ‘It makes an addictive activity appear harmless’ Answers to open-ended questions revealed three main themes: gambling had been normalised; participation was strongly promoted; and players perceived less risk. Many women stated that modern marketing tactics have helped make gambling seem "normal" and socially acceptable for females. This is especially the case for campaigns using female celebrities or influencers, new betting options linked to entertainment, and sponsorships in women's sports. The survey reported that "Social media influencers were described as ‘relatable’ and ‘desirable’, and their involvement in gambling promotions was seen to make gambling seem glamorous and aspirational". Participants worried that framing bets as "fun", low-stakes, or tied to charity often concealed potential harms. Portraying gambling as "harmless" risked encouraging progression towards riskier behaviours and eventual financial loss. "I think there is a lot of harm in promoting gambling in this way for anyone," said one respondent. "It makes an addictive activity appear harmless." "They make it seem harmless and can become a light joke," said another participant. A large number of respondents felt gambling promotions appeared crafted to draw in new customers. This targeting was seen as particularly effective for younger women, by connecting betting products to their social lives and interests. Words like "encourage", "attract", and "tempt" were commonly used to describe this impact. Furthermore, by linking products to their hobbies, some women said it caused gambling to "feel normal". Some even suggested this normalisation could generate a "fear of missing out". ‘Pink-washing’ has its impact The study, conducted by researchers from Deakin University and Curtin University, pointed to player scepticism about gambling firms' use of gender-focused corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaigns. For instance, promotional ties to International Women’s Day or breast cancer awareness month were frequently viewed as strategic image management rather than authentic social contribution. Even while recognising these tactics as reputation-building, some women admitted they could unintentionally build trust in gambling brands, potentially making them more susceptible to marketing. A present-day study When designing the survey, the academics concentrated on the growing influence of social media marketing on platforms favoured by younger women, such as Instagram and TikTok. Australian data cited in the study indicated that annual gambling participation rates for women in Victoria are similar to men's, with around 50% gambling yearly and about a third doing so monthly. The authors noted similarities with sectors like alcohol and tobacco, where CSR and sponsorship have historically been used to burnish brand image and stall regulatory action. These worries reflect wider international trends. In Greece, authorities have recently acted to bolster protections for younger people against growing online betting harms, with a specific emphasis on curbing exposure to digital ads and promotional material. Likewise, recent German research connected a rise in gambling advertising to heightened risks for vulnerable players. The findings indicated that extensive promotional content helped normalise betting behaviour and deepen the involvement of at-risk individuals. What comes next? The researchers called for stronger regulatory steps, suggesting that limits should go beyond obvious gambling ads to include more subtle marketing forms. These encompassed influencer collaborations, novelty markets connected to popular culture, and CSR activities that act as indirect advertising. They also urged targeted public awareness initiatives to help women assess gambling promotions more critically and gain a clearer understanding of the related risks.

Everpure Expands Tech Talent Pipeline Through Strategic Partnership with Rewriting the Code

NORTHAMPTON, MA – 22/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As the global technology sector faces increasing pressure to innovate while addressing talent shortages, companies are turning to more inclusive strategies to shape the workforce of the future. Everpure, through its social impact initiatives, is advancing this shift by building structured pathways for underrepresented women to access and thrive in technology careers. At the center of this effort is a growing partnership between Everpure and Rewriting the Code (RTC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women in tech from diverse and historically excluded backgrounds. Together, they are addressing systemic gaps in representation, access, and early-career engagement—challenges that continue to limit both innovation and equity across the industry. The technology sector has long struggled with gender imbalance, particularly in technical roles. Limited access to opportunities, insufficient representation, and fragmented connections between academia and industry have contributed to a persistent gap. Everpure identified these challenges as critical barriers not only to social progress but also to sustainable business growth. To address these issues, Everpure, supported by the Pure Good Foundation, has implemented a multi-dimensional approach focused on experiential learning, mentorship, and financial investment. The initiative is designed to engage high-potential students early in their academic journeys, equipping them with the resources, networks, and confidence needed to transition into the workforce. RTC emerged as a strategic partner capable of bridging the gap between education and industry. What began as a modest volunteer effort has evolved into a comprehensive program that connects Everpure employees and executives with RTC members through conferences, mentorship programs, networking events, and career development initiatives. A defining feature of the collaboration is its emphasis on sustained engagement. Beyond providing funding, Everpure actively participates in RTC-led initiatives, hosting campus visits, contributing to executive panels, and facilitating mentorship opportunities tailored to students’ academic and career stages. This hands-on approach has enabled the company to build meaningful, long-term relationships with emerging talent. The impact of the partnership is evident in both qualitative and quantitative outcomes. Students gain exposure to real-world technology environments, including direct interaction with industry leaders and participation in major conferences. These experiences not only enhance technical understanding but also foster confidence and a stronger sense of belonging in a traditionally male-dominated field. Events such as Pure//Accelerate have become key platforms for experiential learning. Participants engage in keynote sessions, explore innovation showcases, and take part in structured mentoring discussions with senior executives. These interactions provide insights that extend beyond classroom learning, offering a clearer view of career pathways within the technology sector. For many participants, the experience is transformative. Students report increased confidence, expanded professional networks, and a deeper understanding of opportunities within the industry. At the same time, Everpure benefits from early access to a diverse pool of talent, strengthening its recruitment pipeline and enriching its organizational culture with new perspectives. The initiative also delivers value internally. Employees involved in mentorship and engagement activities gain exposure to emerging viewpoints on technology, including perspectives on artificial intelligence and workplace expectations from the next generation. This two-way exchange fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Over time, relationships formed through the program often extend beyond formal events. Participants maintain ongoing connections with mentors and industry professionals, seeking guidance and exploring career opportunities. While direct hiring is not the primary objective, the partnership has naturally contributed to increased recruitment of women into internships and full-time roles. Looking ahead, Everpure and the Pure Good Foundation are exploring opportunities to expand the program’s global reach. With growing engagement in regions such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and India, the partnership is positioned to scale its impact and further strengthen international talent pipelines. As organizations across industries reassess their approach to workforce development, Everpure’s collaboration with RTC highlights the potential of long-term, community-driven partnerships. By combining financial support, employee engagement, and strategic alignment, the initiative demonstrates how companies can play a meaningful role in shaping a more inclusive and future-ready technology workforce. Ultimately, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to breaking down barriers and creating equitable access to opportunity. As the program continues to evolve, both organizations remain focused on expanding its reach and deepening its impact—reinforcing the idea that meaningful change in the technology sector requires sustained collaboration and shared purpose.

DataKrypto Expands Confidential AI Reach with FHEnom for AI Launch on Google Cloud Marketplace

BURLINGAME, CA – 24/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As enterprises accelerate adoption of artificial intelligence in cloud environments, concerns around data exposure during processing remain a critical barrier. Addressing this challenge, DataKrypto has introduced its FHEnom for AI solution on Google Cloud Marketplace, marking a significant step toward enabling secure, end-to-end encrypted AI operations at scale. The availability of FHEnom for AI on Google Cloud Marketplace follows DataKrypto’s participation in the Google Cloud ISV Startup Springboard program, signaling a deepening collaboration between the two companies. The integration allows organizations to deploy AI workloads with enhanced security assurances while leveraging Google Cloud’s global infrastructure. At the core of DataKrypto’s offering is a continuous encryption framework designed to eliminate the “cleartext gap” that typically arises when AI systems process data. By combining fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), FHEnom for AI enables computations to be performed directly on encrypted data, ensuring that sensitive information, models, and outputs remain protected throughout the entire AI lifecycle. This approach introduces a new paradigm for Confidential AI, where encryption is not applied selectively but embedded as a persistent property of the architecture. As a result, enterprises can maintain control over their data from ingestion and model training to inference and real-time processing, even in shared or cloud-based environments. With the solution now accessible via Google Cloud Marketplace, organizations can more confidently adopt AI-driven applications while meeting stringent regulatory and compliance requirements. The platform supports secure workflows aligned with frameworks such as HIPAA and GDPR, making it suitable for industries handling highly sensitive data. FHEnom for AI is designed to address longstanding challenges that have limited enterprise adoption of cloud-based AI, particularly in regulated sectors.

Key capabilities of the platform include enabling real-time AI inference on encrypted data without significant performance trade-offs, supporting a TEE-agnostic architecture compatible with hardware technologies such as Intel TDX and AMD SEV, and integrating seamlessly into existing development pipelines. This allows organizations to deploy Confidential AI solutions without extensive reconfiguration of their current systems. Industry stakeholders note that the combination of advanced cryptographic methods and cloud-native scalability represents a meaningful advancement in AI security. By embedding encryption directly into the computation process, DataKrypto’s solution helps reduce operational complexity while strengthening trust in AI outcomes. Through its participation in the Google Cloud ISV Startup Springboard program, DataKrypto has been able to accelerate the development and deployment of its technology. The program is designed to support emerging companies in leveraging Google Cloud’s AI capabilities, enabling them to deliver innovative solutions to enterprise customers. FHEnom for AI is now available for deployment, offering organizations a pathway to build and scale AI systems with enhanced security, compliance, and operational confidence.

Cardoso named new permanent leader of Brazil’s SPA

(AsiaGameHub) -   Daniele Cardoso has been named the new permanent head of Brazil's betting regulator, the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA), this week, following two months in an interim role. Cardoso's permanent appointment was revealed in a Monday post on X by Dario Durigan, who took over as Brazil's finance minister from Fernando Haddad last week. Cardoso joined the SPA in November 2024, initially serving as general coordinator for responsible gambling monitoring, before being appointed deputy secretary. Later, in late January, following Regis Dudena's departure, Cardoso was named interim head of the SPA. Dudena, who had led the SPA since February 2024, vacated the role to assume leadership of the Secretariat of Economic Reforms. Similar to Dudena, Cardoso has a legal background, holding a law degree from Feira de Santana University. Cardoso’s immediate priorities as SPA chief Following Dudena's departure, sources informed iGB that the permanent successor was anticipated to be either Cardoso or Fabio Macorin, the SPA's Undersecretary of Monitoring and Inspection. Nonetheless, Cardoso was the one who signed the SPA's 2026/27 regulatory agenda, which the agency unveiled in February. Executing the agenda's work is expected to be Cardoso's primary focus in her new permanent role, with the SPA aiming to enhance Brazil's licensing procedures and assist in combating the still-widespread black market. A new challenge to address is the recent entry of prediction market operator Kalshi into the Brazilian market, as the SPA has recently raised concerns about the presence of prediction markets. Following Kalshi's announcement of its launch in Brazil—its first market outside the US—the SPA stated that no Brazilian companies are authorized to provide prediction markets in the country. “The prediction market is included in the Secretariat's internal analysis agenda, with initial studies currently ongoing,” the SPA noted. It remains unclear whether prediction markets will fall under the SPA's jurisdiction or that of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. Another challenge comes in the form of increasing political pressure, with ongoing efforts to restrict the licensed fixed-odds betting sector. Earlier this month, Senator Eduardo Girão introduced a bill aiming to limit customer retention by prohibiting certain methods, including loyalty programs and cashback. Kyle GoldsmithKyle has been with Clarion since December 2023, joining from the world of sports journalism, subsequently becoming a LatAm-facing senior reporter with iGB.

Play’n GO Announces Slot Game Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises

(AsiaGameHub) -   Play’n GO has introduced Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises, a new slot game rooted in the Pandora myth. The title includes a Magic Circle mechanic and marble-inspired visuals. Press release: Play’n GO has unveiled Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises, a myth-rich tale of temptation and consequence, where a forbidden lock clicks open and the room shifts instantly. Certain artefacts are meant to be appreciated from afar. This isn’t one of them. Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises focuses on an ancient box with a troublesome aura—ornate, demanding, and silently sure you’ll reach for it. Pandora sits at the story’s heart with the confidence of someone who never needed permission, guiding players through a changing mosaic of symbols that flicker like half-remembered warnings and incomplete promises. Instead of relying solely on spectacle, the game embraces an ongoing push and pull between restraint and curiosity. Sealed moments can crowd the reels, refusing to reveal their true nature until the very last second. When the Magic Circle surfaces, the tone shifts again—a pulse of inevitability suggesting the box has its own agenda. Through it all, stray Souls cling on, hinting something escaped long ago and another thing stayed behind for a reason. Visually, Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises frames the myth in marble halls and midnight-blue shadows, then cuts through it with a neon glow that makes the setting feel newly dangerous. Pandora’s presence is ever-watchful, while artefacts glint like contraband from a forbidden vault. The box itself remains the quiet centrepiece: a challenge, a dare, and a mirror held to the player’s curiosity. Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Pandora’s myth endures because it’s human—the need to know, the cost of knowing, and the stubborn spark that survives the fallout. Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises turns that tension into a story players can feel from the first moment.” This article is provided by a third-party.
