Gibraltar sees prediction markets as a substantial area of potential growth.

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Gibraltar is exploring a new path to secure growth as it navigates headwinds brought on by the UK’s decision to raise gambling taxes. Nigel Feetham, the British Overseas Territory’s Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, told parliament that the government had granted a license to a prediction markets firm, describing the sector as a “substantial area of potential growth” for Gibraltar. Gibraltar’s government lobbied intensely against the UK’s choice to increase online gambling tax, arguing the move would directly hit tax revenues and negatively impact the island’s economy. Nevertheless, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced that remote gaming duty will nearly double to 40%, taking effect from today (1 April). A new 25% general betting duty rate for remote betting will also be rolled out starting April 2027. Feetham stated: “Following the implementation of the recent UK gambling duty hikes, I have taken on more direct responsibility for promoting Gibraltar’s regulatory offering. “There is no space for complacency, nor for unnecessary delays when enabling responsible economic activity in these key sectors. We must keep adapting decisively to a shifting global economic landscape. This is fully aligned with the government’s core strategic goal of economic diversification.” While Feetham has not yet publicly named the licensed firm in question, Predict Street Ltd has been added as a betting intermediary to the official register of approved licensed operators hosted on the Gibraltar government’s website. Per Predict Street’s official site, the company is the official prediction market partner of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup and is scheduled to launch on 9 April. However, no reference to the company appears anywhere on the official FIFA World Cup website. Prediction market platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket have grown rapidly across the US, providing an alternative to standard online sports betting in states where the traditional vertical is currently prohibited. That rapid rise has been met with controversy, however, as critics argue these platforms are facilitating betting activity illegally. At the same time, a number of countries outside the US, including New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands, have introduced explicit bans on prediction market operators. As a result, Gibraltar stands out as one of the few jurisdictions outside the US that appears receptive to building a hub for prediction markets, pointing to the significant potential economic benefits the sector can deliver. According to Eilers & Krejcik, prediction markets could see annual trading volumes hit one trillion dollars by 2030, a figure that underscores why Gibraltar is keen to take an open approach to the sector.

关于哈马斯与穆斯林兄弟会关系的新报告引发对土耳其在北约角色的审视 Latest News

关于哈马斯与穆斯林兄弟会关系的新报告引发对土耳其在北约角色的审视

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - FIRST ON FOX: 一份新报告引发了对土耳其中东角色的担忧，报告认为，在总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的领导下，该国已偏离其传统的西方阵营，转向与包括穆斯林兄弟会在内的伊斯兰主义运动进行更深入的接触。这份由高级研究员锡南·奇迪牵头、民主防御基金会发布的报告题为《土耳其的伊斯兰主义主导：穆斯林兄弟会阵营圣战主义的前沿基地》。报告认为，土耳其与哈马斯——美国指定的、对10月7日大屠杀负责的恐怖组织——以及穆斯林兄弟会——一个其附属组织最近被美国指定为恐怖组织的伊斯兰主义运动——存在联系。这使土耳其的政策在其准备主办北约峰会之际受到新的审视。奇迪告诉 Digital，这种转变反映了土耳其在定义威胁方式上更广泛的转变。"我们所看到的是，土耳其已经完全改写了如何解读何为圣战恐怖实体的规则，"奇迪说。"埃尔多安重新定义了何为恐怖实体……像哈马斯或努斯拉阵线这样的团体，符合他泛伊斯兰主义的世界观。"报告的一个核心焦点是土耳其与哈马斯的关系，美国将哈马斯指定为恐怖组织，然而哈马斯在2011年后扩大了在土耳其的存在，在该国境内设立了办事处和网络。"从2011年起……哈马斯利用土耳其境内有一个友好政府的机会，建立了办事处，进行招募和筹款活动，"奇迪说。美国当局已对一些此类网络采取了行动。美国财政部已将在土耳其活动的与哈马斯有关联的个人和实体列入制裁名单，奇迪指出，这一点凸显了长期以来的担忧。"美国财政部一直在追踪并指定土耳其境内与哈马斯有关联的非政府组织和个人，"他说。报告还声称，一些哈马斯行动人员能够使用土耳其签发的证件旅行，并且高级人物曾受到埃尔多安的公开接见。除了哈马斯，报告还将土耳其描述为来自整个地区（包括埃及和也门）的穆斯林兄弟会人物的枢纽，其中许多人在本国遭到镇压后迁往那里。在阿拉伯世界的部分地区，穆斯林兄弟会多年来一直被禁止或限制。埃及于2013年取缔了该运动，指控其煽动动乱并破坏国家机构。沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国后来将其指定为恐怖组织，称其威胁国家稳定，巴林也采取了类似立场。约旦今年解散了其当地分支，此前当局称逮捕行动与非法武器活动有关。一些欧洲国家也采取了针对与该运动有关联的网络的措施。例如，奥地利作为其反极端主义政策的一部分，已对据称与兄弟会活动有关的个人和组织采取了法律行动。这些国家的官员认为，兄弟会通过混合宗教宣教、政治活动、慈善组织和媒体平台来影响公众舆论并挑战国家权威。报告还审视了土耳其在叙利亚的角色，该国在内战期间支持反对派力量，支持了一系列武装派别，包括后来组成叙利亚国民军的团体。"叙利亚国民军……是土耳其直接武装、资助和组织的一支混杂的民兵集合体，"他说。报告将土耳其的支持与诸如努斯拉阵线和解放沙姆阵线等团体联系起来，引发了分析人士的疑问：这种联系是否可能使土耳其官员面临根据美国法律受到潜在制裁的风险。尽管存在这些担忧，其他分析人士表示，土耳其与美国的关系继续对其行为构成制约，而唐纳德·特朗普与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安之间的关系以重建信任为特征，特朗普赞扬了埃尔多安在加沙外交中的作用。2025年10月，特朗普在埃及沙姆沙伊赫庆祝加沙停火协议时，特别赞扬了一位领导人——埃尔多安，他将其领导力归功于帮助实现了加沙停火。"一个和我做了很久朋友的人。我不知道为什么我更喜欢强硬的人，而不是软弱、好说话的人，"特朗普在2025年10月的沙姆沙伊赫峰会上谈到埃尔多安时说。"这位来自一个叫土耳其的地方的绅士是世界上最有权势的人之一……他是个硬汉——但他是我的朋友。"土耳其政治人物兼学者希沙尔·厄兹索伊将埃尔多安与特朗普的关系描述为"交易性的"，指出华盛顿经常依赖土耳其进行地区协调。在耶路撒冷战略与安全研究所主办的政策网络研讨会上，土耳其学者侯赛因·巴吉强调，安卡拉仍然与华盛顿紧密相连。"土耳其国家无意与以色列对抗，因为土耳其政府与美国关系非常好，"他说。"你不可能和美国关系好，同时又与以色列发生冲突。"巴吉还暗示，土耳其有时会在国内限制伊斯兰主义行为者。"今天你听到任何关于穆斯林兄弟会的消息吗？"他说。"没有……因为总统说了停止。"土耳其自1952年加入北约以来，一直是美国的关键伙伴，提供后勤通道、军事能力和外交影响力。但奇迪认为，土耳其目前的轨迹越来越偏离联盟的优先事项。"有明确的记录……表明土耳其严重破坏了跨大西洋联盟的核心安全关切，"他说。他提到了美国对土耳其实体因被指控向俄罗斯供应军民两用物品而实施的制裁，以及安卡拉更广泛的与竞争大国保持联系的战略。关于土耳其在与伊朗紧张关系中的自我定位，奇迪表示，土耳其可能倾向于一个被削弱的伊朗政权，而不是一个可能导致更亲西方政府上台的完全崩溃。"一个被削弱的伊朗政权是埃尔多安最稳妥的选择，"他说。巴吉对这种竞争关系给出了类似的评估。"伊朗不是土耳其的敌人，但也不一定是它最好的朋友。土耳其和伊朗是两个地区竞争者，"他说。报告建议了美国潜在的政策回应，包括制裁和加强对土耳其金融体系的审查，这些步骤可能重塑华盛顿与安卡拉之间的关系。Digital 多次联系土耳其政府和美国国务院寻求评论，但在发稿前未收到回复。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

以色列通过针对恐怖主义威胁的严厉死刑法案，欧盟谴责 Latest News

以色列通过针对恐怖主义威胁的严厉死刑法案，欧盟谴责

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 耶路撒冷：以色列议会（Knesset）周一通过了一项法律，规定对被判犯有致命恐怖主义行为的巴勒斯坦恐怖分子处以死刑，此举激怒了欧洲国家和以色列的一位反对派领导人。议员们以62票赞成、47票反对通过了极右翼国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔提出的判处绞刑的立法。本-格维尔及其政党Otzma Yehudit提出了这项措施。Otzma Yehudit议员Tzvika Foghel，他担任国家安全委员会主席，并在其领导下推动了该法案在委员会的通过，他告诉Digital，以色列人厌倦了遏制和妥协的政策。“多年来，我们一直试图取悦全世界，即使我们在街头被杀害。自10月7日以来，我们已转向进攻性方法，以便我们能够决定未来的现实，”他说。Foghel表示，对恐怖分子处以死刑是以色列更广泛转变的一部分，这种转变是由认识到没有其他国家在面对加沙、黎巴嫩、约旦河西岸以及也门和伊朗的激进伊斯兰恐怖主义时面临同样的现实所驱动的。“对那些焚烧、强奸、残害和虐待儿童和父母的恐怖分子处以死刑，与我们对纳粹的惩罚相同，”他说。欧洲联盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡亚·卡拉斯表示，“欧盟在所有案件和所有情况下都奉行反对死刑的原则立场。以色列长期以来一直维持对处决和死刑判决的实际暂停执行，从而在该地区树立了榜样，尽管面临复杂的安全环境。”她补充说，“以色列议会批准死刑法案标志着从这一做法和以色列自身承诺的严重倒退。我们对该法案的实际歧视性特征深感担忧。”以色列历史上只对纳粹大屠杀罪犯阿道夫·艾希曼在1962年处以过死刑。死刑在以色列的法律中存在，但以色列法院在适用死刑方面受到限制，只能用于纳粹战犯以外的案件。前总理、现任中间派“未来党”（Yesh Atid）领导人亚伊尔·拉皮德表示，该立法存在根本性缺陷，因为它不适用于10月7日造成1200人死亡的哈马斯恐怖分子。“这项法律不是展示力量，而是恐慌的迹象。这项法律比美国任何法律都更极端，他们知道它会被法律推翻。它不是一项旨在实现正义或威慑的法律，而是一项公关法律，”他补充道。Likud议员Dan Illouz，该立法的支持者，告诉Digital，10月7日的事件，在他看来，凸显了防止恐怖分子将绑架平民视为争取释放被监禁武装分子的可行手段的必要性。“死刑打破了这种等式。它起到了终极威慑作用，确保恐怖分子知道他们的行为只会导致他们自己的灭亡，而不是通过谈判获得释放。我们是一个热爱生命的民族，但为了保护生命，我们必须果断地对付那些试图摧毁生命的人，”他说。“内塔尼亚胡总理的投票至关重要。它从以色列领导层的最高层传递了明确的力量和道德清晰度的信息。通过亲自投票，总理向我们的敌人和整个世界表明，我们的政府在根除恐怖主义和保卫我们公民的决心上是完全团结一致、毫不动摇的，”他补充道。以色列Channel 12政治评论员Amit Segal写道，他支持“处决试图谋杀平民的恐怖分子——尤其是10月7日的那些怪物”，但他批评了Ben Gvir的立法。他在他的通讯中写道，“该法律将恐怖主义定义为‘否定国家存在’的行为，这一定义可能适用于极端哈雷迪派别和‘山顶青年’（Ben-Gvir支持的）的暴力成员等团体。”Segal表示，“虽然Ben-Gvir的法律本质上是一场竞选噱头，但一项更负责任的法律正在通过系统。由议员Simcha Rotman和Yulia Malinovsky提出的这项法律，为确保Nukhba恐怖分子的定罪建立了实际机制——程序和证据——之后就可以判处死刑。”另一位Likud议员Amit Halevi告诉Digital，该立法的核心要素是将刑事犯罪与危害国家或危害人类罪区分开来。“恐怖分子实施犯罪是出于旨在杀害、压迫和控制所有犹太人的意识形态。这些恐怖分子，如果他们能做到，就会杀死我们所有人。他们是意识形态杀手，与普通罪犯属于不同类别，这是该法案的关键点，”他说。Halevi补充说，需要进一步努力来明确界定危害国家罪，包括哪些属于该类别，哪些不属于。“总的来说，这项立法是朝着正确的方向迈出的一步。我听到的许多批评都与普通罪犯有关。人们不了解敌人——他是谁，这场战争是关于什么的，”他说。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Nepal steps up enforcement of online gambling ban iGame

Nepal steps up enforcement of online gambling ban

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Nepal’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has initiated steps to enforce the nation's ban on online gambling by blocking access to associated applications and websites. According to reports from The Himalayan Times, these government directives were put into effect over the weekend, with officials implementing previously announced measures. The decision regarding online gambling platforms was finalized during a meeting chaired by Minister for Communications and Information Technology Bikram Timilsina, alongside ministry officials and division heads. Collaborative efforts between the Nepal Telecommunications Authority and the country's internet service providers were instrumental in disabling access to the targeted apps and websites. Crucially, the government is now blocking IP addresses within Nepal to expedite action against any remaining operators, aiming to prevent the growth of a black market under stricter domestic regulations. Prior to this ban, Nepal had a considerable grey market for online gambling, which had been experiencing a rise in user engagement. Reports indicate that this market was expanding at an approximate rate of 10% annually, largely driven by increased mobile phone usage and significant improvements in data quality. This action follows India's recent decision to enact the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gambling Bill 2025, which prohibits the promotion of real-money gaming due to its perceived negative societal consequences. It is suggested that a substantial number of Nepalese individuals engaged in gambling through Indian betting platforms, and the two countries share interconnected payment systems. India also moved swiftly to prevent its residents from participating in illegal gambling, establishing the Online Gaming Authority of India under the Electronics and IT Ministry to oversee enforcement and identify illicit activities. The Indian government has also confirmed that repeat offenders who violate the ban could face imprisonment and fines. Want to hear more stories like this?

UKGC Announces April Deadlines for Key Gambling Review Evaluations iGame

UKGC Announces April Deadlines for Key Gambling Review Evaluations

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has informed gambling licensees and other interested parties about two approaching deadlines concerning its assessment of regulations. The initial deadline is for the conclusion of the Commission's consultation regarding revisions to the Destination of Regulatory Settlements, set for April 2nd. This consultation is part of the regulator's adaptations subsequent to the implementation of the statutory levy, which is scheduled for April 2025 as a key provision of the Gambling Review's White Paper, High Stakes: Gambling Reform for the Digital Age. A re-evaluation of existing procedures was deemed essential because financial penalties levied by the UKGC are deposited into the UK's Consolidated Fund. Nevertheless, regulatory settlements and payments made instead of formal penalties have traditionally taken a different route, frequently supporting research, prevention, and treatment (RPT) programs independent of central government bodies. This approach has now become outdated due to the cessation of GambleAware's operations and the shift to a statutory levy framework. The levy consolidates RPT funding under designated public entities, bringing in more rigorous supervision, alignment, and assessment of fund distribution. Consequently, the UKGC has put forward a proposal to amend its Statement of Principles for Determining Financial Penalties, aiming to ensure that regulatory settlements correspond with financial penalties. The Commission suggests that all subsequent regulatory settlements should be paid directly into the Consolidated Fund, thereby guaranteeing uniformity, promptness, and governmental scrutiny of funds from enforcement actions. This initiative seeks to prevent the emergence of separate funding mechanisms alongside the statutory levy. In addition to this consultation, the UKGC has also noted advancements in the assessment of the Gambling Act Review (GAR). This evaluation is being carried out by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), which reports to the DCMS. Operators have been asked to take part in an online survey and subsequent interviews to offer their insights on how GAR reforms are being applied in practice. Important aspects under consideration include checks for financial vulnerability, limits on stakes for online slots, and incentives promoting social responsibility. The survey concludes on April 10th, and the Commission is urging widespread involvement to assist in shaping future regulatory improvements. Collectively, these two deadlines signify a crucial milestone for UK gambling policy. The consultation on regulatory settlements indicates the concluding stages of harmonizing enforcement procedures with the statutory levy, whereas the GAR evaluation aims to gauge the practical effects of one of the most extensive reform initiatives in the industry's recent past. For the industry, April represents more than just a procedural landmark; it signifies a shift from putting measures into effect to examining them, as regulators and the government start to evaluate the practical effectiveness of the UK's updated gambling framework.

Examining the key players as Alberta confirms its iGaming launch date iGame

Examining the key players as Alberta confirms its iGaming launch date

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Potential operators have been alerted following Alberta's confirmation that its regulated online gambling sector is set to commence operations on July 13. Becoming Canada's second regulated jurisdiction alongside Ontario, the province has seen several major industry players confirm plans to enter a market projected to generate more than $700m annually. PointsBet and Caesars Entertainment have already initiated pre-registration processes for residents of Alberta prior to the official launch. Simultaneously, operators including BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Betway have announced their entry into the market to expand their existing footprint in Canada. For Betway and its parent firm, Super Group, the primary task involves shifting players from their unregulated offerings to the new regulated platform. Before this regulatory framework, Play Alberta was the sole entity legally permitted to provide iGaming products. Nevertheless, it is believed that 70% of Alberta's gamblers participated in the unregulated market. In a February address to investors, Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group, remarked: “It is known that Alberta is moving toward regulation. We are prepared, having drawn lessons from Ontario regarding the migration of customers from our dot.com operations. “We have improved our offerings for the rest of Canada as well as Ontario. These enhancements will be integrated into our Alberta product. Once the regulations are finalized and we are set to launch, we will proceed in Alberta.” Menashe also anticipated a more cautious strategy from Super Group’s rivals than was seen during Ontario's market opening, which was characterized by significant early marketing spend. Separately, DraftKings has designated funds for its Alberta expansion. Meanwhile, Flutter, the parent company of FanDuel, has factored the Alberta launch into its 2026 guidance for US operations, forecasting a 12% year-over-year revenue increase to $7.8bn. “We are entering 2026 from a position of strength, ready to leverage the sustained robust growth anticipated in the iGaming sector,” Flutter informed its investors. Significantly absent from the roster of confirmed entrants is bet365, which has yet to indicate its plans for the region. However, considering its existing operations in Ontario and its focus on North American expansion, Alberta likely represents a promising prospect for the UK-based operator. The operational framework of Alberta's market will be recognizable to many established operators due to its close resemblance to Ontario's model. A 20% tax on gross gaming revenue will be applied to operators, mirroring Ontario's rate, with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) serving as the regulatory body. This contrasts with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which regulates that province. Additionally, the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) will function as a distinct conduct and management agency, fulfilling a role similar to that of iGaming Ontario. Central regulations for the new market prioritize social responsibility and player safety, implementing stringent rules regarding permissible advertising scope. Upon launch, Alberta players will gain access to a provincial self-exclusion registry as well as tools for setting financial and time limits. “In this new regulated environment, the protection of players and social responsibility are central to our operations,” stated a letter reviewed by iGaming Expert and authored by Dale Nally, the Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, who oversees iGaming. “The introduction of a regulated iGaming market marks an exciting milestone for our province. I am confident that by collaborating, we can establish a market that is both competitive and socially responsible. The future of iGaming in Alberta is promising, and with your cooperation, we will ensure its success for all stakeholders.” In addition to the major operators previously noted, domestic and North American-centric brands like BetRivers, the ScoreBet, and NorthStar Gaming have declared declared their intention to apply for registration in Alberta. While many anticipated a market opening in the second quarter of 2026, Nally explained that the decision to delay until July was made in response to operator feedback indicating a need for additional time to meet the new market's compliance standards.

BETBY’s new predictions platform omits controversial markets iGame

BETBY’s new predictions platform omits controversial markets

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - BETBY is joining the predictions trend, though it has put extra care into ensuring its platform steers clear of some of the sector’s more contentious aspects. The Malta-based sportsbook solutions provider launched its predictions platform, BETBY Predictions, today. The company plans to make the platform accessible to all firms in its partner network. BETBY has clearly observed the global growth of prediction platforms—Kalshi and Polymarket, for instance, were valued at $22bn and $9bn respectively as of March 2026. It has also taken note of the traditional gaming industry’s interest in predictions as a new vertical, though some stakeholders like the American Gaming Association (AGA) remain strongly opposed. Fanatics, DraftKings and FanDuel—in that order—have all rolled out prediction platforms in the US, while UK betting exchange Matchbook entered the space late last year, and the Gibraltar government has licensed its first predictions platform too. “BETBY Predictions represents a natural progression of the sportsbook experience,” said Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Innovation and R&D. “We’re taking the core principles of betting and applying them to areas beyond sports. “This is about transforming global moments into engaging opportunities for players, in a way that’s both scalable and responsible.” BETBY prioritizes tasteful content The rise of prediction platforms hasn’t been without controversy. First, there’s a legal debate over whether these platforms are considered gambling. Regulators in European countries like Belgium, France and Portugal say yes, as do US states like Nevada and Arizona, but the US federal regulator for the sector—the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)—says no. It seems, however, that bookmakers interested in predictions (like the firms mentioned above) are more than happy to have their prediction platforms sit alongside their traditional sportsbooks—and this is the market BETBY is looking to target. But BETBY has also paid attention to another controversial element of predictions: the types of markets users can bet on. A key selling point for Kalshi and Polymarket is their range of political and current affairs events. These markets have included standard ones like who will become the next US President (similar to what traditional sportsbooks offer on their politics pages) to darker ones—such as the likelihood of US strikes on nations like Venezuela and Iran, the chances of ceasefires in wars, or whether China will invade Taiwan. The morbid nature of these bets has caught the attention of mainstream media like the BBC. It has also raised concerns about insider trading, given the potential for government officials with knowledge of upcoming decisions to place bets and profit. BETBY states that its own predictions platform was developed with careful safeguards, excluding “highly sensitive or controversial topics” like geopolitics, active conflicts and wars, and events “involving human suffering”. The firm also stresses that it retains “full control over market creation, ensuring that all content is carefully curated and reviewed, with a clear commitment to responsible and appropriate market selection”.

TOKYO, Japan, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has subscribed to new shares of Gachaco, Inc. (Gachaco) issued through a third-party allotment (“this transaction”), thereby making Gachaco a consolidated subsidiary of Honda.Gachaco was established in April 2022 as a joint venture of five companies in Japan — Honda, ENEOS Holdings, Kawasaki Motors, Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. — to provide a sharing service of standardized swappable batteries for electric motorcycles and to establish and maintain infrastructure for such sharing services.Since October 2022, Gachaco has been installing Gachaco battery swapping stations primarily in Tokyo, where electric motorcycle users with a Gachaco membership can efficiently swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one whenever needed, without any waiting time for charging. The company has rolled out the service in urban areas of Tokyo, starting with corporate customers and, in January 2024, the service was expanded to individual customers as well. Gachaco has been building out its infrastructure to create an environment where anyone can use electric motorcycles without worrying about charging time and riding range. Currently, the company is expanding its network of Gachaco stations, primarily in Tokyo and Osaka, while also pursuing the establishment of a next-generation energy infrastructure that contributes to a decarbonized and circular society.Honda is striving to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, and one of the key initiatives toward this goal is the popularization of electric mobility products. In addition to expanding the lineup of electric models, Honda believes that it is important to build battery charging and supply networks so that people can use their electric motorcycles with peace of mind; therefore, Honda has been considering Gachaco as an important partner for realizing such a future. Going forward, in order to continue to enhance the usage environment for electric motorcycle products, Honda realized that a motorcycle manufacturer needs to take the lead in this initiative. Based on this reasoning, Honda has decided to acquire additional shares in Gachaco.As a subsidiary of Honda, Gachaco will further accelerate its ongoing initiatives to build battery charging and supply networks and work to expand its battery sharing service for users of electric construction machinery and equipment powered by swappable batteries. In addition, Gachaco will work to offer rental and maintenance services for battery swapping stations to be installed on the premises of business facilities of corporate customers with large fleets of electric motorcycles. Through these initiatives, Honda will lead the growth of Gachaco business and establish an environment where more customers can use electric mobility products safely with complete peace of mind.Overview of the transactionClass of subscribed sharesCommon shares of Gachaco Inc.Number of subscribed shares340,000 sharesAmount to be paid340,000,000 yenHonda shareholding ratio after the transaction47%About GachacoCompany nameGachaco Inc.Location4F, THE CORNER Shibakoen,2-8-2 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 1050011, JapanEstablishedApril 1, 2022RepresentativeMasahide Hirose, PresidentShareholdersHonda Motor Co., Ltd.,ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo Kaisha*,Suzuki Motor Corporation,Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.,Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.,BusinessOperation of battery charging/swapping stations to achieve widespread useand broader applications of standardized swappable batteries*ENEOS Holdings, Inc. has invested in Gachaco through its investment company, ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo KaishaGachaco station Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

俄罗斯军机在克里米亚坠毁致29人死亡

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 据俄罗斯通讯社周三凌晨援引俄国防部消息报道，在被吞并的克里米亚发生的俄军机坠毁事故已造成6名机组人员和23名乘客死亡。报道称，这架An-26军用运输机当时正在克里米亚半岛执行例行飞行任务，俄罗斯于2014年从乌克兰非法吞并了该地区。俄军于周二傍晚6点左右与这架飞机失去联系。现场消息人士向俄国家通讯社Tass和RIA Novosti透露，这架苏联设计的军用涡桨运输机坠毁在了一处悬崖上。俄罗斯调查委员会表示，机上共有7名机组人员和23名乘客。目前官方声明中尚未明确是否有一名机组人员幸存。调查委员会称，已针对飞行合规问题启动刑事调查，目前正在巴赫奇萨赖区一处多山的林区开展搜救工作。Interfax通讯社援引俄国防部消息称，事故可能由疑似技术故障引发，且未对飞机造成“破坏性干扰”。自克里姆林宫出兵乌克兰以来，俄军机事故频发。去年12月，一架An-22军用运输机在俄罗斯伊万诺沃州坠毁，造成7名机组人员死亡。今年10月，一架MiG-31战斗机在利佩茨克州坠毁，而2025年4月，一架Tu-22M3轰炸机在西伯利亚伊尔库茨克州坠毁。2022年10月，一架Su-34轰炸机在亚速海沿岸俄罗斯叶伊斯克的居民区坠毁，引发大规模火灾，造成15人死亡。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

HMRC terminates 10% Bingo Duty tax for land-based venues iGame

HMRC terminates 10% Bingo Duty tax for land-based venues

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will no longer impose a 10% tax on gross profits earned by land-based bingo venues across the UK. This policy change was rolled out as part of the Budget announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves back in November 2025, and the new rules officially take effect as of today (1 April 2026). HMRC has clarified that bingo operators will no longer be required to file tax returns for profits generated from land-based bingo play, and the department will update its official guidance in due course to reflect these new adjustments. A statement from the agency reads: “Bingo Duty operators currently registered with HMRC will retain the ability to submit any outstanding returns online until April 2030, and notify HMRC of any over-declarations or under-declarations from previous accounting periods.” The elimination of Bingo Duty will soften the financial blow for land-based bingo hall operators, coming into force the same day that HMRC enforces an increase to remote gaming duties (RGD) from 21% to 40% – a change that will impact all wagering on online bingo. HMRC reiterated: “Bingo Duty does not apply to non-profit making bingo, private domestic bingo, or machines that are already subject to Machine Games Duty.” After the Budget announcement in November, Rank Group Plc, the operator of Mecca Bingo, publicly welcomed the decision to remove the 10% tax from land-based bingo halls. The company stated that the change will help support local jobs and investment in the land-based sector, having previously warned that a failure to reform bingo taxation could lead to widespread venue closures. However, the wider response across the industry has been more cautious. Buzz Bingo CEO Dominic Mansour described the abolition of the tax as a “full house win” for local clubs, but warned that its positive impact is being diluted by the near-doubling of RGD. Ahead of the Budget, Mansour stressed that fairer tax treatment was essential to protecting around 2,500 jobs and sustaining the company’s network of 79 venues across the UK. Tensions remain around broader regulatory developments, with the government indicating that the sector needs to provide further assurances on player protection, particularly in higher-stake gaming environments. Frustration also persists over whether the Labour government will implement planned changes to the current 80/20 rule, which sets a limited ratio for category B and C/D gaming machines in high street bingo venues and Adult Gaming Centres (ADCs) This April, DCMS announced that it had intervened to freeze planned changes that would shift the machine ratio to 50/50. Citing pressure from local councils over high street gaming operations, DCMS noted that changes to gaming machine ratios would not be implemented during the current legislative cycle. Instead, DCMS will prioritise White Paper commitments such as the statutory levy and binding online stake limits for UK gambling licences. Land-based gambling trade bodies, including BACTA, as well as major operators, have expressed frustration over the slow pace of reform, arguing that delays are preventing bingo halls from generating the revenue needed to modernise and recover from pandemic disruption and rising operating costs. The Treasury had previously backed targeted reforms for gambling venues as part of a package of measures to ease rising cost pressures on high street businesses. While the abolition of Bingo Duty represents a long-awaited concession for the sector, its overall impact is softened by the broader tightening of gambling taxation, leaving operators to navigate a far more challenging operating environment under the UK’s new 40% RGD era.

ESIC imposes five-year ban on player for esports betting violations

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - A professional esports competitor has been suspended for four years following allegations of match-fixing. Dmytro “nifee” Tediashvili has been penalized by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) after a probe into his Counter-Strike 2 career revealed proof of match-fixing and corruption linked to betting. The matches under scrutiny, which were analyzed with assistance from esports data company Runestone, took place during the ESL Pro League Season in October 2025. The investigation noted a sequence of anomalous betting trends, along with ESIC's determination that the player's in-game conduct was not consistent with standard competitive play. A rigorous investigative protocol was followed by ESIC and Runestone, involving the detection of the questionable betting, an analysis of match recordings, discussions with external specialists, interviews with those involved in the games, and the solicitation of pertinent statements. Reports indicate that Tediashvili initially refuted the claims but later conceded that wrongdoing had occurred and cooperated with the inquiry. Consequently, ESIC has determined that the player's actions violated its Anti-Corruption Code by intentionally manipulating events within the game for gambling gains, thereby threatening the integrity of the esports contest. As a result, the anti-corruption body has indicated that additional disciplinary measures could follow. The ban is in effect from 21 October 2025 until 20 October 2029, prohibiting Tediashvili from participating in any role at all events sanctioned by ESIC. In concluding its statement, the integrity organization highlighted that proposition markets in esports—similar to in-play bets in traditional sports—are a major worry for regulators because they are the most vulnerable to manipulation, unlike bets on final match results. Nevertheless, it provided reassurance of its ongoing dedication to collaborating with firms such as Runestone to identify these threats promptly and address them efficiently, aiming to maintain strong confidence in esports betting.

Gibraltar approves prediction market platform licensing iGame

Gibraltar approves prediction market platform licensing

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The Government of Gibraltar has confirmed a significant development by issuing a license to its inaugural prediction markets operator. While the government has not formally named the company, a Gibraltar-based entity, Predict Street Ltd, appears on the official register of licensed operators as a betting intermediary. This platform declares itself the "Official Prediction Market Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026" and invites users to register for early access by providing their name, email, and country of residence. The Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, Nigel Feetham, confirmed Gibraltar's entry into the expanding prediction market sector, indicating a strategic goal to broaden its gambling and financial services landscape. This decision is likely to attract attention, as Gibraltar is now among a small number of European jurisdictions permitting prediction markets. This stands in sharp opposition to other European nations such as the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine, France, and Portugal. Due to the debate over whether these platforms constitute gambling, certain prediction businesses have been prohibited in various regions. For instance, the five countries listed have all expelled Polymarket from operating within their borders. Feetham announced the move in Parliament, stating it is part of a wider plan to draw new types of investment and establish Gibraltar as a leader in emerging gaming and fintech markets. “We have licensed a new company operating in the “prediction markets” sector, processing the application in record time following my attendance at Consensus Hong Kong last month,” he said. “This is the pace at which we must act to help offset at least some of the loss of tax revenues following the recent increase in UK Gambling Duty, while continuing to grow our local ecosystem. “We are working relentlessly to protect Gibraltar’s economic interests.” Gibraltar joins predictions hype Prediction markets, where users can trade on the results of real-world events, have become increasingly popular worldwide as tools for both investment and user engagement. Although marketed as financial services, these platforms are often likened to betting exchanges, and some regulatory bodies classify them as a form of gambling. The sector's leading firms, Kalshi and Polymarket, have received mixed reactions alongside a massive surge in user activity and revenue in recent months. Beyond facing scrutiny in Europe, both have been banned in New Zealand, and the Dutch regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), recently ordered Polymarket to stop operations in the Netherlands for offering 'illegal gambling services'. Both companies have also been criticized for listing markets related to war. In the US, the largest market for these services, lawmakers are starting to respond; a bill was introduced to the US Senate last month to prohibit US government officials from trading on such sites. However, the financial potential of prediction markets is evident. The sites handle millions of dollars in wagers, and Kalshi achieved a valuation of $22bn (£16.5bn) last month after a funding round exceeding $1bn. It remains unconfirmed if one of the two major prediction market firms will establish operations in Gibraltar. Other prediction platforms or even traditional iGaming companies looking to expand into this area might also target the jurisdiction. This trend is not unusual; FanDuel and DraftKings have launched their own prediction platforms in the US, and the UK betting exchange Matchbook declared its plan to do the same last year, though with a primary focus on the US market. Regardless, it is apparent that Gibraltar's leaders are intent on diversifying the territory's gaming and fintech economy as they prepare for the consequences of the new UK tax regime, which takes effect today. The UK is a primary market for most gaming companies based in Gibraltar. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

独家：萨拉·内塔尼亚胡警告反犹太主义抬头，强调犹太教与基督教联盟重要性 Latest News

独家：萨拉·内塔尼亚胡警告反犹太主义抬头，强调犹太教与基督教联盟重要性

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 独家报道：以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的夫人萨拉·内塔尼亚胡（Sara Netanyahu）对日益增长的反犹太主义以及破坏基督徒与犹太社区之间关系的企图发出了警告。此前，她应第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普（Melania Trump）的邀请，前往美国参加了为期四天的“Be Best”第一夫人峰会。在接受Digital独家采访时，她表示，尽管历史记录已经证明了其后果，但极左和极右翼的极端分子仍在继续宣扬反犹太主义，并试图破坏以色列，分裂基督徒社区内部的支持。“以色列从未有过像我丈夫这样的总理，他在每次访问美国时，都会特意会见基督徒社区的领袖，拥抱他们，倾听他们的心声，并作为真正的伙伴和朋友保持密切而真诚的关系，”她告诉Digital。“他们坚定反对以色列敌人的勇气值得赞赏。他们是我们（非官方的）大使，我希望我们的伙伴关系能够继续发展和加强，”她补充道。内塔尼亚胡表示，今年7月，以色列接待了总统的亲密顾问兼白宫信仰办公室主任保拉·怀特-凯恩（Paula White-Cain），她和总理共同出席了一场特别活动，该活动向全球数百万基督徒观众进行了转播。在哈马斯于2023年10月7日在以色列杀害1200人之后，全球范围内的反犹太主义激增，包括在美国。萨拉·内塔尼亚胡在以色列由父母什穆埃尔（Shmuel）和哈瓦·本-阿齐（Hava Ben-Artzi）抚养长大。她的父亲是一位圣经学者和教育家，向她灌输了对犹太民族与以色列土地历史联系的珍视。“大屠杀是历史上绝不能也不会重演的一刻，”内塔尼亚胡在谈到美国与以色列针对伊朗伊斯兰共和国的持续军事行动时对Digital表示，伊朗领导人曾多次威胁要对犹太国家实施种族灭绝。10月7日袭击事件后的相关事件包括：2025年5月，埃利亚斯·罗德里格斯（Elias Rodriguez）杀害了两名以色列驻华盛顿大使馆工作人员，他在被捕时据称高喊“解放巴勒斯坦！”；以及6月穆罕默德·萨布里·索利曼（Mohamed Sabry Soliman）在一次亲以色列集会上发动袭击，造成12人受伤，其中一名受害者后来死亡。自2月28日“史诗之怒行动”（Operation Epic Fury）开始后，此类事件也有所增加，内塔尼亚胡将其描述为针对伊朗及其恐怖代理人的先发制人行动。调查人员称，被控试图在3月12日袭击密歇根州一座犹太教堂的艾曼·穆罕默德·加扎利（Ayman Mohamad Ghazali）受到了真主党的激进化影响。与此同时，上个月的一项联邦调查发现，一些教职员工在抗议以色列在加沙的战争期间“合法化并放大了反犹太主义”。校园内出现了营地，通常要求从与以色列有关的机构和犹太组织撤资。3月20日，特朗普政府起诉了哈佛大学，指控其未能保护犹太和以色列学生，并助长了反犹太主义。“我们正处于一场生存战争中——一场善与恶的战争——对抗的是一股试图摧毁以色列和世界的势力，”她说。“伊朗政权的领导人公开焚烧了以色列和美国的国旗。他们称以色列为‘小撒旦’，称美国为‘大撒旦’。”她继续说道：“以色列从未有过比唐纳德·特朗普更好的朋友。他与（以色列）总理一道，正在重塑中东，并为整个自由世界创造一个新未来的机会，”她补充道。在访美期间，内塔尼亚胡会见了多位第一夫人，在美国国务院发表了演讲，与南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）举行了会谈，与科技和AI公司进行了接触，并主持了一场与在以色列国防军服役的儿童的父母的大型会议。内塔尼亚胡参加了由梅拉尼娅·特朗普主持的“Be Best”第一夫人峰会，这是一场全球第一夫人科技会议，重点在于扩大儿童和青少年获得远程学习技术的机会。作为一名每周在耶路撒冷市政府工作三天的儿童心理学家，内塔尼亚胡一直致力于这一问题的研究。此次访问还带来了经济影响，促成了与Microsoft和Meta在全球层面的深入对话。内塔尼亚胡告诉Digital，这些公司表示有兴趣推进价值数千万美元的投资，以实施先进的AI模型，用于儿童和青少年的远程学习——特别是在以色列，那里的教育连续性因安全局势而受到干扰。“以色列是先进西方国家中的佼佼者——在道德、价值观方面，当然还有技术方面。以色列的创新每天都在网络安全、金融科技和农业等领域影响着世界各地的人们。我们贡献我们的知识，建立战略伙伴关系，使以色列与其盟友更加紧密，”她说。“世界对以色列有着强烈的赞赏，当各国认识到我们的贡献时，他们会选择伙伴关系而非极端主义和仇恨，”内塔尼亚胡总结道。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Ygam warns of growing social media influence on student gambling iGame

Ygam warns of growing social media influence on student gambling

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - A recent study by Ygam indicates that social media is playing an increasingly significant role in how students engage with gambling. As unlicensed operators continue to infiltrate social media platforms, 34% of students who participate in gambling identified these platforms as a primary influence on their betting habits. Emily Tofield, Chief Executive Officer of Ygam, stated: “It is evident that the digital environment students inhabit is having a growing impact on gambling behaviors. We must proactively address these emerging risks to ensure students have the education and support necessary to protect themselves.” This follows warnings from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) regarding the promotion of unlicensed operators on social media, with the regulator highlighting the “very limited progress” made by these platforms. Earlier this year, Tim Miller, the UKGC’s Executive Director of Research and Policy, criticized Meta, noting: “I would be very surprised if Meta, as one of the world’s largest tech companies, is unable to proactively use its own keyword tools to block illegal gambling advertisements. It creates the impression that they are content to ignore the issue and continue profiting from criminals and scammers until they are called out.” During the Illegal Gambling Prevention Summit last week, Rob Mabbett of Better Change cautioned that the UKGC is fighting a solitary battle against the black market and its advertising tactics. He stressed that young people face heightened risks due to content on social media, including interactions with influencers, celebrities, YouTubers, and the broader digital landscape. Mabbett argued for more robust regulation of big tech and social platforms, warning that the regulated sector is currently subject to policy decisions that are neither properly tested nor scrutinized. The influence of social media is clearly growing; in Ygam’s initial student gambling survey from 2022, fewer than one in four students cited it as a factor. Tofield has also urged universities and student unions to treat gambling harm with the same level of urgency as other risky behaviors, such as substance abuse. This aligns with recommendations from the coroner who investigated the 2020 death of Lee Adams, a gambling addict who died from a beta-blocker overdose following a prolonged gambling session. Julian Morris, Senior Coroner for Inner South London, suggested that medical professionals should screen for gambling issues just as they do for smoking or alcohol consumption. Ygam’s data further revealed that some students are spending more on gambling than on food. The charity noted an average gambling expenditure of £50.33. Comparing this to the National Student Money Survey, which reports an average weekly grocery spend of £33.70, Ygam suggests that some students are prioritizing gambling over essential nutrition. The study found that 65% of students have gambled in the past year, a decline from the 78% recorded in the inaugural 2022 Annual Student Gambling Survey. Additionally, the percentage of students reporting gambling-related harm dropped from 24% in 2023 to 18% in 2026. Further survey data indicates that slightly over half of student gamblers are primarily motivated by the desire to earn money. Male students are more likely to gamble than their female counterparts, with the average spend among male gamblers being more than double that of females. These concerns regarding increased spending align with recent figures from GamCare, which reported that the number of individuals seeking financial assistance through its Money Guidance Services doubled in 2025. Meanwhile, reported debt rose from £2.8m in 2024 to £7.2m last year, representing an average debt of £21,269 per person. Rising awareness On a more positive note, Ygam reported that 58% of students who gamble are aware of available support services, and 69% feel confident in their ability to access them. Additional data from GamStop shows that 60,000 individuals under the age of 25 are registered with the service, marking a 75% increase over the past five years. Fiona Palmer, CEO of The Gamstop Group, added: “The Annual Student Gambling Survey highlights a concerning lack of awareness regarding gambling risks and the impact on students struggling to manage their habits, though it is heartening to see greater recognition of the support that is available.” This data release coincides with the UK’s transition to a new NHS-led funding model for gambling harm treatment, supported by the Statutory Levy. However, there is growing anxiety regarding the effectiveness of this new system as charities await confirmation of government funding. The findings from Ygam and GamStop underscore the necessity of maintaining robust gambling harm treatment services to ensure that individuals of all ages can access the support they require.
