HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CTF Life announced today a new collaboration with The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (“HKMC”), which aimed at offering customers an additional option for managing their wealth after retirement. By introducing referrals for the “Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme” (“PRMP”) and the “Reverse Mortgage Programme” (“RMP”)1, the partnership combines CTF Life’s retirement product with the HKMC’s reverse mortgage solutions to deliver more comprehensive retirement planning support that meets customers’ financial needs at every stage of life.As Hong Kong’s population ages rapidly, the need for stronger retirement protection is growing. According to the latest projection2 from the Census and Statistics Department, the proportion of people aged 65 or above in Hong Kong is expected to rise significantly from 20.6% in 2021 to 36% in 2046, a clear sign of the city’s ageing trend. As citizens live longer and spend more years in retirement, their living expenses are set to rise, driving demand for stable, sustainable income and thoughtful financial planning. In support of the Government’s initiatives to encourage early retirement planning and promote the silver economy, CTF Life has partnered with the HKMC to promote the PRMP and the RMP. These two programmes aim to provide customers with a stable income to enhance the quality of retirement life, supporting them with diverse and reliable retirement solutions.Man Kit Ip, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, said, “Hong Kong’s rapidly ageing population is driving demand for more comprehensive retirement planning solutions. We are pleased to partner with the HKMC to introduce the PRMP and the RMP through referrals, which complement CTF Life’s product suite to provide customers with stable income streams and an additional wealth management option in retirement, helping customers build well-rounded retirement solutions and reinforce our commitment to creating value beyond insurance.”Colin Pou, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited, said, “The PRMP and the RMP help retirees convert their life insurance policies or their residential properties into steady monthly payouts, generating lifelong streams of income, thereby enhancing the quality of their retirement lives. We are pleased to collaborate with CTF Life to introduce the PRMP and the RMP to more clients, and to jointly support the Government’s initiative to address the ageing society and promote silver economy.”CTF Life’s @MyLove Insurance Plan II3 is an eligible life insurance product under the PRMP, allowing customers to use their insurance policies as collateral to apply for monthly or lump-sum payouts to meet their retirement financial needs. The plan provides life protection up to 100 years of age, together with extra accidental death benefit during the first 10 policy years, flexible premium payment options, premium prepayment options, a guaranteed cash value, plus annual dividend and terminal dividend to help customers further grow their wealth. At the same time, through the RMP, customers can convert property value into a stable cash flow. When combined with the ongoing protection provided by life insurance products, this enables a more flexible approach to asset utilisation and delivers dual, stable support for retirement wealth planning.Notes:1.The Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme and the Reverse Mortgage Programme are operated by HKMC Insurance Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited.

President Eisaku Ito welcomes new employees at the ceremonyTOKYO, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) held an entrance ceremony for the fiscal year 2026 at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa in Minato-ku, Tokyo. This year, as a new initiative, some of the new employees' families also participated in the ceremony online. President & CEO Eisaku Ito addressed over 1,100 new employees, offering words of encouragement and expressing his expectations that "each individual's diverse values and experiences will bring innovation to our Group."Summary of President Ito's MessageMaking the stable supply of energy and electricity and the establishment of strategic supply chains increasingly important, alongside heightened awareness of security. Labor shortages in developed countries and the aging of urban infrastructure also pose major challenges. Furthermore, the remarkable advances in AI technology are transforming industries. Against this backdrop, President & CEO Ito emphasized that "in times like these, it is essential to cherish the fundamentals of our company." He explained the origins of our Group and the three corporate principles that form our management philosophy, including "putting customers first and contributing to social progress through our business." He then spoke about the Group's vision and offered encouragement to the new employees. The key points are as follows:MHI Group VisionOur Group's mission is to "combine the technologies accumulated with cutting-edge knowledge, tackle evolving social challenges, and realize a prosperous life for people." We provide diverse products and services to a wide range of customers, supported by a common foundation of technologies, experts, and IT systems. Our Group owns over 700 technologies. Companies that possess both such diversity and a common foundation are rare worldwide. Therefore, our Group still has significant room for growth.To maximize our growth potential, we are promoting "Innovative Total Optimization (ITO)" throughout the company. ITO is based on two core concepts. The first is "Group-Wide Optimization," which means optimizing the value chain from sales to manufacturing and enabling lean business operations through the common foundation mentioned earlier. Additionally, by strengthening collaboration between businesses, sharing lessons learned from failures and early signs of changes in the business environment, we aim to enhance productivity and profitability. The second concept is "Scope Expansion," which anticipates latent needs and creates new value by "smartly connecting" different fields. By leveraging partnering and IT, we swiftly approach new customers and regions. Combining these approaches, we will provide new value to vastly more customers.This fiscal year marks the final year of the "2024 Business Plan," launched in fiscal 2024. Through achieving this plan and advancing ITO, we aim to realize a "virtuous cycle of high profitability and growth investment."Encouragement to New EmployeesOur Group fosters a culture where young employees can take on significant challenges early in their careers. When I was a student, I researched gas turbines and aspired to become an engineer in this field. I joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the only company in Japan independently developing gas turbines. I was entrusted with a project to develop a turbine for a new concept jet engine. I was involved in all manufacturing processes from planning to development, design, prototyping, and evaluation, which later became the foundation of our business. Since then, as an engineer, I have participated in various projects both domestically and internationally, and with each experience, including failures, I saw personal growth.The greatest appeal of our Group is its deep connection with society. There are countless opportunities to realize the desire to "contribute to society through manufacturing." Our business fields extend from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space.People are the core of our Group. To enhance individual capabilities, we provide various opportunities for challenges and growth. However, these opportunities are not only given but must also be actively pursued. We want you to identify social issues you are passionate about in your own life, align them with organizational goals, and continue to challenge yourself and grow.In your daily work, please especially keep in mind to "work cheerfully and enjoyably," "focus on the small tasks in front of you," and "be yourself." Mental and physical health are the foundation of life. When things are tough, there is actually an opportunity to rapidly develop your abilities. Also, small tasks support our Group's large businesses. The day will come when you will be entrusted with major work, so prepare thoroughly with humility and courage, and expand the areas where you can contribute. Be aware of how your work benefits society, set your own goals, and put them into practice.Our Group has many jobs that contribute to social progress, global-scale work, and work that only we can do. With the ambition and responsibility to proactively create and support society, let us maximize our Group's potential and continue to take on challenges on the global stage.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

Balkan Gaming Federation Formed by Seven National Associations

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   Seven gaming associations across the Western Balkans have united to establish the Balkan Gaming Federation, a new regional entity designed to foster tighter collaboration regarding regulation, enforcement, and industry growth. The pact was signed in Belgrade at a gathering organized by the Association of Gaming Operators of Serbia, with backing from the Association of Online Gaming and Gambling Operators in Bulgaria. Key Highlights The federation unites associations from Serbia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia. The organization intends to prioritize the enforcement of laws against illegal gambling, compliance standards, and the coordination of legislation. A subsequent gathering is scheduled for May 26, taking place during the Belgrade Future Gaming expo. A Regional Group Focused on Enforcement and Coordination The newly formed federation aims to provide a more cohesive voice for the regional gaming sector without supplanting national trade organizations. Rather, it will serve as an overarching platform for operators, suppliers, and technology providers throughout the Balkans. Its initial focus is on practical matters. The group stated its intention to pool expertise and assets to bolster efforts against illicit gambling, combat unfair competition, and exchange regulatory insights across borders. Additionally, it intends to engage in collaborative lobbying regarding legislation, as well as organize regional events, business alliances, and marketing initiatives designed to elevate the Western Balkans' standing in the broader European gaming landscape. During the Belgrade meeting, attendees also examined market statistics, talked about initial contributions, and settled on a tentative brand identity. Furthermore, they established internal communication lines to facilitate smoother coordination of future projects.Diverse Markets, One Common Platform The participating nations represent markets that differ significantly. Serbia and Romania possess substantial online gambling industries that draw major international operators. Meanwhile, Croatia and Bulgaria feature robust land-based casino sectors alongside expanding online presence. Bosnia and Herzegovina's regulatory landscape remains more fragmented, a disparity the federation aims to address. Another topic of discussion in Belgrade concerned the new entity's relationship with EUROMAT, the wider European amusement and gaming association. While certain BGF members are already part of EUROMAT, the consensus was that the Balkan organization should operate as an independent regional cluster while maintaining connections to broader European networks. The roadmap for the near future is established. A further meeting is planned for May 26, with the objective of cementing the federation's governance framework and selecting a president by the fall of 2026.

Sweden’s Reporting Shows Decline in Problematic Gambling Rates

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   According to a new report commissioned by BOS, the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling, problem gambling rates in Sweden have dropped over the past two decades, even as online gambling has grown more accessible and been more widely marketed. The report was authored by economist Ola Nevander, who relied on the Problem Gambling Severity Index, or PGSI, to track shifts in rates over time. Good to Know The proportion of Swedish adults categorized as problem gamblers fell from 2.2% in 2008-09 to 1.3% in 2021. This amounts to roughly 57,000 fewer problem gamblers, a 35% overall decrease. As of March 2026, Sweden’s national self-exclusion system Spelpaus counted around 136,000 registered users. Problem Gambling Rates Fall in Sweden Even As Online Gambling Grows The report confirms that the overall rate of problem gambling among adult Swedes has declined over time, while the broader group of at-risk gamblers has also shrunk. The share of people with a PGSI score of 3 or higher fell from 2.2% to 1.3% between 2008-09 and 2021. The total number of at-risk gamblers, defined as people with a PGSI score of 1 or higher, dropped by an estimated 200,000 over the same period. Among adults who gambled online in the year before surveys were conducted, the decline was even sharper. Problem gambling rates in this group fell from 12% in 2008-09 to around 4% averaged across the four years from 2018 to 2021. At the same time, gambling activity itself has not declined in popularity. A separate survey cited in the report found that 18% of Swedes played online casino games in 2025, while 24% placed online wagers. The report puts this downward trend in the context of a much larger, expanded gambling market. Inflation-adjusted spending on gambling marketing grew roughly nine times between 2000 and 2024. The number of available online casino games increased more than tenfold between the mid-2000s and 2019. Internet and smartphone access also became nearly universal across Sweden by 2020. Even with all these changes, severe problem gambling rates stayed relatively stable, ranging between 0.3% and 0.6% of the population across the years studied. A key focus of the report is channelisation, which measures how much gambling activity occurs through licensed operators rather than unlicensed offshore sites. BOS says Sweden’s overall channelisation rate is currently around 85%, though the rate for online casino is slightly lower. The report argues that higher channelisation makes it easier to implement consumer protections such as duty of care requirements, self-exclusion tools, and data-based monitoring. It also compared Sweden to neighboring markets, noting channelisation rates of 91.5% in Norway and 91% in Denmark, while Finland’s rate was far lower at 48% before its upcoming licensing changes. Spelpaus also receives significant attention in the report. The national self-exclusion register had around 136,000 users in March 2026, equal to 1.6% of Sweden’s adult population. Even so, the report notes that survey data and helpline records indicate around half of self-excluded users still gamble, most often through unlicensed sites. On the topic of treatment and prevention, the report says machine learning tools built around transaction data look promising for identifying risky gambling behavior, though long-term outcomes still require more testing. CBT has shown clearer positive results. The report said: “Meta-analyses show that CBT can reduce the scale of gambling, gambling frequency and addiction symptoms when compared with control groups.” Sweden re-regulated online gambling in 2019, introducing a licensing system with defined responsibilities for operators, and the report suggests this framework has helped build a stronger foundation for reducing gambling-related harm.

He remarked: “The distinction between winning organizations and the others lies in culture—the dedication to preparation and excellence. I saw that instantly in GR8 Tech.” The firm indicated that this agreement marks just the beginning of a broader series of Champions Club initiatives. Operators should anticipate further campaigns and partnerships focused on the same theme of high performance, with GR8 Tech showcasing its technology stack as the tangible realization of this concept. This portfolio includes solutions like Crypto Turnkey, Hyper Turnkey, ULTIM8 Sportsbook, Infinite Casino Aggregation, and Aff.Tech. GR8 Tech also utilized the announcement to reinforce its standing in the market. The company noted it has executed over 100 deployments and secured multiple industry accolades, such as Platform Provider of the Year at the SBC Awards 2025.

Las Vegas Wins Super Bowl LXIII Hosting for 2029

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   The National Football League has designated Las Vegas as the host city for Super Bowl LXIII in 2029, with Allegiant Stadium officially named the venue following a vote by team owners at the league's annual meeting in Phoenix. This move returns the NFL's premier event to the city just five years after it first held the Super Bowl. Good to Know Las Vegas is set to stage its second Super Bowl in 2029. The inaugural event in 2024 attracted over 330,000 visitors and had an economic impact exceeding $1 billion. Allegiant Stadium is also scheduled to be the site of the College Football Playoff championship in 2027 and the Final Four in 2028. Las Vegas Builds on a Strong First Super Bowl The selection for 2029 came after an evaluation by the NFL Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee. League representatives emphasized that the success of the first Las Vegas Super Bowl was a key factor in the decision. That game, where Kansas City defeated San Francisco 25-22 in overtime, allowed the city to demonstrate its capacity to manage a huge sporting event, with the Strip, stadium, and ancillary activities all in close proximity. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated: “We’re excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America’s greatest sports and entertainment destinations.”NFL executive vice president Peter O’Reilly also referenced the prior game, noting the league considered the 2024 Super Bowl a major success due to the city's impressive scope, vibrant atmosphere, and welcoming hospitality. This performance led to unanimous backing from team owners for a repeat visit. Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, commented: “We’re proud the NFL has selected Las Vegas to host Super Bowl LXIII.” Hill added that the first Super Bowl there illustrated Las Vegas's unique ability to fuse sports, entertainment, and hospitality into a single location.The city's sports schedule is becoming increasingly packed leading up to 2029. Allegiant Stadium will welcome the College Football Playoff national championship in 2027 and the Final Four in 2028. The Athletics are planned to start playing in a new Las Vegas ballpark in 2028, and an NBA expansion franchise may also debut that year. This continuous stream of major events is solidifying Las Vegas's position at the heart of the American sports industry. Mark Davis remarked: “We’re excited that the Super Bowl will be returning to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium in 2029.” Hill further noted that the effort to relocate the Raiders to Las Vegas and construct Allegiant Stadium has been “transformational for Las Vegas,” elevating the city's stature and preparing it for additional large-scale international events. In the week before the game, the metropolitan area is anticipated to hold a complete lineup of Super Bowl events, such as NFL Honors, the Super Bowl Experience presented by Jersey Mike’s, and Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled by Gatorade, plus community initiatives like NFL Source. On Location, the NFL's official hospitality partner, has launched a Priority Access deposit program offering fans early opportunities for tickets and hospitality packages. This award also underscores the evolving relationship between Las Vegas and the NFL. For a long time, the city's legal sports betting was a deterrent in the league's hosting considerations. That stance has shifted, and Las Vegas has subsequently become the Raiders' home, hosted the NFL Draft, and now landed another Super Bowl. This article is provided by a third-party.

Massachusetts Rolls Out New Responsible Gaming Program PlayWell

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   Massachusetts has introduced PlayWell, a fresh initiative focused on responsible gambling and player wellness, which now serves as the state's successor to GameSense. The program will be integrated into sports betting platforms and casinos, providing assistance via telephone, online channels, and in-person interactions. Key Details PlayWell has taken over for GameSense throughout Massachusetts. Dedicated PlayWell Hubs were established at all casino locations on March 27. The initiative features PlayMyWay, a resource that allows users to establish daily wagering limits. PlayWell Introduces a State-Managed Framework According to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, this launch represents a significant milestone in the ongoing development of a robust player health infrastructure for the state's regulated gambling sector. In a shift from the previous model, PlayWell is entirely under the ownership of the commission, with the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health overseeing its day-to-day management. MGC Chair Jordan Maynard stated: “At the time gaming was legalized in the Commonwealth, it was vital to establish a premier program for research, responsible gaming, and player health to guarantee the industry's long-term success.”Maynard further noted that the new initiative, which is “developed, owned and operated by the MGC,” provides the commission with a more effective mechanism to assist residents seeking support. PlayWell also features physical hubs located at every casino across the state. These areas are designed to offer patrons a space to take a break, gain insights into gaming mechanics, or consult with professional advisors. Assistance is not restricted solely to those experiencing gambling issues; staff are available to engage with visitors individually and provide guidance on resources, information, and voluntary self-exclusion programs. Mark Vander Linden, the MGC’s Director of Research and Responsible Gaming, remarked: “PlayWell is tailored to the specific requirements of Massachusetts players. Utilizing research and evaluation, PlayWell advisors provide patrons with pertinent and timely information, tips, and resources, whether they are playing online or at a casino.”A primary component of the program is PlayMyWay, which the commission identifies as a pioneering tool that enables players to set daily limits on their gambling activity. MGM Springfield was among the casino operators to implement the program, with compliance director Daniel Miller emphasizing that the hubs are intended for all patrons, not just those currently experiencing difficulties. He stated: “These centers should truly be accessible to everyone. It is meant to encourage all visitors to stop by.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Tennessee Advances Bill to Ban Sweepstakes Casinos Closer to Final Approval

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   Legislators in Tennessee are rapidly progressing with a bill to formally outlaw sweepstakes casinos, intensifying the challenges for the dual-currency model, which has been facing setbacks in multiple states. Good to Know The bill was advanced by a House committee in a 21-0 vote, with one member present who abstained from voting. A corresponding bill previously passed the Senate with a unanimous 32-0 vote in March. Once the law becomes effective in 2026, operators and their third-party vendors may be subject to both civil and criminal penalties. Tennessee Keeps the Bill Moving Without Resistance On Tuesday, the Tennessee House State and Local Government Committee passed the measure without any debate or apparent opposition. The legislation now proceeds to the Finance, Ways and Means Committee, with a subsequent vote by the full House expected. This development brings Tennessee near to finalizing the ban, particularly following the Senate's unanimous approval of a matching bill earlier this month. The proposed law has garnered extensive bipartisan backing and encountered minimal resistance throughout the legislative process. The legislation aims to officially prohibit online sweepstakes casinos that operate on a dual-currency system. It would also provide state authorities with a more defined legal avenue to pursue enforcement against the operators and their associated vendors.Tennessee is already among approximately a dozen states where many leading sweepstakes operators have ceased accepting customers. The current legislative effort seeks to codify this stance into law. Tennessee Keeps Sports Betting but Not Online Casino Play While Tennessee permits legal online sports betting, the state does not authorize physical casinos. It has also not made significant efforts to legalize real-money online slot machines or table games. Consequently, legislators are adopting a stricter approach against sweepstakes casinos rather than establishing a regulated market for online casino gaming. This article is provided by a third-party.

聯想控股2025年純利飆升近7倍 科創佈局步入效能釋放期

acn

香港, 2026年4月1日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2026年3月31日，據香港財華社報道，今日，聯想控股（3396.HK）正式發佈2025年度業績，在「十四五」收官之年交出了一份頗亮眼的成績單。業績公告顯示，2025年公司實現收入6059.45億元，同比增長18%；淨利潤97.99億元，同比增長28%；歸母淨利飆升698%至10.61億元。業績強勢回暖的同時，董事會建議派發末期股息每股0.1元（除稅前）。據公司稱，收入增長的主因是由於公司產業運營板塊之附屬公司聯想集團收入同比大幅增長，而利潤增長則主要受益於資本市場回暖，由產業孵化與投資板塊業務虧損同比減少所致。從市場關切的視角來看，聯想控股如何構建其科技創新體系，仍是最受關注的焦點之一。2025年，聯想控股研發投入超170億元，同比增長10%，創下歷史新高。「十四五」期間累計研發投入超750億元，較「十三五」增長超60%。與此同時，公司25年投資中國科技企業近150家，覆蓋AI、具身智能、半導體、生物醫藥、商業航天、新能源新材料等多個科技前沿領域；目前在AI領域已投資超300家企業，擁有完整和全面的AI生態體系。此外，聯想控股CEO于浩博士進一步介紹了公司的科技創新體系：在產業端，以聯想集團、聯泓新科為代表，圍繞主業加大研發投入；在孵化到投資端，以旗下基金投資中國科技前沿，並以聯想之星創業CEO特訓班為平台，培育中國科技創業生態圈；在技術研發端，以聯想控股前瞻技術研究院探索早期技術商業化，真正實現創新鏈與產業鏈的無縫對接。當中，于浩特別提到了去年與北京大學合作成立的「先進光子集成技術聯合實驗室」：「這是我們進軍光子芯片這一全新領域的一次嘗試，從而用『協同前創新』模式替代傳統的『成果後轉化』，拉近源頭創新與產業需求的距離。」據他透露，未來聯想控股還將在人工智能、新能源、新材料、智能傳感等多個領域推進項目落地，加速推進面向新興支柱產業和未來產業的全生命週期科創戰略。此外，資產退出與資金用途也是資本市場關注的焦點。2025年，聯想控股通過分紅和退出方式回流現金74億元。「十四五」期間，公司累計回流資金超450億元。董事長寧旻對此表示：「退出部分項目是基於公司戰略聚焦的考量。回流的資源有力地支持了公司對科技創新和實體經濟的大規模投入。」其中相當一部分被重新投入到科技研發與前沿佈局中，這種良性循環恰恰是聯控能夠持續加碼科創的底氣所在。現階段，聯想控股的科創佈局已形成清晰的戰略閉環。在「十四五」收官、「十五五」將至的節點上，聯想控股的科創屬性也正在經歷從量變到質變的轉化。核心資產的戰略韌性、產學研融合的實質性落地、被投企業IPO的持續放量，這些都展現了對資本市場而言，其價值錨點正從「產業控股的多元化」加速走向「科技賦能的體系化」。而當聚焦科技主業、深化科創佈局開始持續兌現為業績增長，不難從中看出，聯想控股的價值重塑目前已步入效能釋放期。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Missouri Sports Betting Volume Drops 27% During February

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   Sports betting activity in Missouri slowed significantly in February, as betting volume, revenue, and promotional expenditures all decreased compared to January. Despite this drop, the market still surpassed $1 billion in total wagers over its initial three months. Good to Know Missouri recorded a sports betting handle of $277 million in February, a 27.2% decrease from January. Gross revenue declined to $31.3 million, marking a 42% drop month-over-month. State tax revenue reached a new high of $1.2 million due to a reduction in promotional deductions. February Pullback Impacts Handle, Revenue, and Promotions Missouri bettors placed fewer wagers in February, and the decline was substantial. The Missouri Gaming Commission reported a combined retail and online handle of $277 million, down from January’s $380.4 million. Online platforms accounted for $273 million of that total. Gross revenue for the eight mobile and eight retail operators stood at $31.3 million. This was the lowest handle since the market launched in December 2025 and the first time the monthly hold rate fell below 14%, ending at 11.3%. Still, operators have now taken more than $1 billion in bets during the first three months of legal sports wagering, while Missouri’s total revenue has exceeded $180 million. The tax landscape shifted in the opposite direction. Missouri collected $1.2 million in February, its best month to date. December and January both saw tax collections below $600,000 because taxable revenue turned negative after heavy promotional deductions. This changed in February as free-play spending dropped to $11.4 million, down from $33 million in January and $125 million in December.FanDuel distributed $4.6 million in promotional wagers, down from $14.6 million the previous month. DraftKings cut its free-play spending by $6 million to $3.6 million. Fanatics offered over $815,000, less than half its January amount. bet365 was the only other operator with free-play spending above $1 million. DraftKings Leads as Football Betting Wanes DraftKings topped Missouri’s online sportsbooks in February with a handle of $104.9 million and gross revenue of $12.6 million. FanDuel followed with $92.5 million in handle and $11.9 million in revenue, boosted by a 12.9% hold rate nearly a full point higher than DraftKings’. bet365 was the only other operator with a handle over $20 million, taking in $20.4 million and holding 10.8%. BetMGM handled $19.2 million but had a hold rate of just 6.8%. Fanatics maintained a hold rate under 8.5% on nearly $18 million in wagers. Caesars came close to $12 million in handle, but a 6% hold rate kept profits modest. theScore Bet posted a 10.8% hold rate on more than $5 million in wagers, while Circa Sports earned less than $70,000 on a $1.4 million handle. Football betting fell sharply once the postseason schedule thinned out. Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots generated $11.7 million in wagers. In January, football handle excluding parlays hit $72 million during the NFL playoffs and College Football Playoff.Basketball led Missouri’s betting market for the second straight month with nearly $110 million in handle. Parlays also played a major role, attracting more than $91 million in wagers. This article is provided by a third-party.

Most Americans Believe Sports Prediction Markets Are Gambling

admin

(AsiaGameHub) -   A recent national survey indicates that prediction markets continue to face challenges with public trust, particularly when sports contracts begin to resemble traditional betting. The poll revealed widespread apprehension regarding consumer protection measures, age restrictions, and whether these platforms should be subject to the same regulations as established sportsbooks. Key Findings Over 80% of Americans believe that sports betting on prediction markets is indistinguishable from gambling. More than 75% expressed concern that younger individuals could be exposed to gambling-related harm. Approximately 81% of respondents stated that prediction market platforms should adhere to state gaming regulations. Public Opinion Clearly Favors Gambling Classification The survey, commissioned by Gambling is Not Investing and conducted by Morning Consult, surveyed over 15,000 U.S. adults. It revealed a decisive public stance on this category, with the majority of participants not accepting the notion that sports event prediction markets are separate from gambling. Mick Mulvaney, executive director of the coalition, commented: “This polling confirms that the unchecked sports gambling occurring on prediction markets is a growing concern throughout America.” He further asserted that prediction markets are attempting to "disguise their sports betting products as a financial investment" while evading consumer protections like age limits. The age issue is particularly noteworthy. In most states, sportsbooks require users to be at least 21 years old to place sports bets. Prediction markets, however, fall under CFTC oversight, allowing access from the age of 18. Mulvaney summarized this point by stating: “Let’s face it, if it quacks like a duck, it’s sports betting.”The survey results also suggest a broader public reaction against the increasing visibility of prediction markets on social media and in public discourse. Despite gaining attention from significant political and business entities, the poll indicates that many Americans still prefer the sector to be regulated more like gaming than finance.
