曾兩次進入太空的億萬富翁 NASA 局長表示,億萬富翁太空旅行的批評者「完全錯誤」。

(SeaPRwire) -   這位曾兩度進入太空的NASA億萬富翁領袖,對於批評億萬富翁太空旅行的聲音給出了一個訊息:你們「完全錯了」。 隨著Artemis II的機組人員展開50多年來的首次月球任務,NASA署長賈里德·艾薩克曼讚揚了他的億萬富翁同僚們將自身資源投入太空競賽。這位支付處理公司大亨於去年底被確認執掌該機構。 他告訴《Politico》:「我感謝像伊隆·馬斯克、傑夫·貝佐斯和理查·布蘭森爵士這樣的人,他們此刻為了全人類的利益,將自己的資源押注於發展這項能力。」 儘管採訪者達莎·伯恩斯指出,像聯合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特瑞斯這樣的高調人物先前曾批評過億萬富翁的太空飛行,但艾薩克曼反擊了其他批評者:「我認為他們完全錯了,而且訊息不靈通,只是為了搶頭條。這種看法太糟糕了,」他說。古特瑞斯在2021年曾表示,億萬富翁「在地球上有數百萬人挨餓的同時,卻歡樂地進行太空旅行」,這加劇了社會的不信任感。 在為億萬富翁太空旅行辯護時,根據《富比士》數據淨資產達15億美元的艾薩克曼表示,社會不應該僅僅因為地球上有問題就「暫停」太空競賽。他說,他可以想像在80年代,批評手機訊號塔的人對這項最終連接並改善了世界的技術也說過同樣的話。例如,他說用手機連接世界有助於揭露實施種族滅絕的壞人,從而拯救了數百萬人的生命。 「如果我們將所有資源都集中在當下的問題和困難上,就不會有進步。你不能暫停進步,」他說。 艾薩克曼發表上述評論之際,Artemis II的機組人員於週一成功抵達了比以往任何太空人都更遠的地方,當時他們的Orion太空船借助月球的引力進行了彈弓式繞月飛行。太空人們預計將於週五晚間返回地球,他們的太空船將降落在加州聖地牙哥外海的太平洋上。 艾薩克曼的太空飛行 雖然艾薩克曼尚未去過月球,但這位Shift4 Payments和Draken International(一家向美軍及其盟友提供戰術戰鬥機的公司)的創辦人已經去過太空兩次。 2021年,艾薩克曼協助資助並隨後領導了Inspiration4任務,這是首次全部由平民組成的軌道任務,使用SpaceX的Dragon太空船,飛行高度超過了同年貝佐斯的Blue Origin和布蘭森的Virgin Galactic的次軌道太空飛行。2024年,在SpaceX為期五天的Polaris任務中,他成為首位進行太空漫步的平民。據報導他也協助資助了這次任務,他在距離地球約400英里的太空船外停留了約10分鐘,以測試SpaceX的EVA太空服。 近年來,商業太空競賽日益激烈,Blue Origin、SpaceX和Virgin Galactic都試圖主宰一個新興的全球太空產業,麥肯錫預測該產業到2035年可能成長至1.8兆美元。與此同時,這些公司的億萬富翁創辦人,包括貝佐斯和布蘭森,已經報名要親眼見證太空。 貝佐斯在2021年一次為時10分鐘的Blue Origin次軌道任務中,曾短暫越過國際公認的太空邊界(即卡門線,位於地球上空62英里處)。布蘭森於同年乘坐自己的Virgin Galactic太空船到達地球上空約53英里處。Blue Origin曾主張Virgin Galactic的太空飛行實際上並未到達太空,因為它們始終低於卡門線。伊隆·馬斯克的SpaceX已將更多人送入軌道,超過任何其他私人公司,但他本人從未去過太空。 艾薩克曼則表示,像Blue Origin這樣的公司正在取得對全人類有益的顯著技術進步,包括可能確保「我們不會走上恐龍滅絕之路」的行星防禦創新。他認為,億萬富翁們在探索太空和改善人類生活方面的工作並非互相排斥。 「我們應該感謝他們的貢獻,同時也做其他事情來讓地球上的生活更美好,」他說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Avanti Studios launches first new live casino games for Spanish players via Luckia since its 2013 Live Roulette debut

(AsiaGameHub) -   Avanti, the groundbreaking live casino provider currently making an impact in the industry through its unique blend of motion capture technology and real-time cloud-based streaming, has revealed its first client in the Spanish online market: Luckia.es. As the provider’s first officially sanctioned partnership with a Spanish operator, this deal will introduce a selection of dynamic and thrilling live casino games to the platform—including Toro y Matador, Toro y Matador Turbo, Dragon Tiger, and Baccarat in the initial launch, with Blackjack En Vivo set to follow. Considering Spain’s existing regulations for live casino games, this agreement stands out because Avanti’s integration of RNG in its games will allow Luckia.es to be the first operator in the country to offer innovative live casino content in more than a decade—granting the brand a key competitive edge. All Avanti games feature realistic digital avatars modeled after the movements of professionally trained dealers, brought to life via MetaHuman and 3D animation tools. This allows the provider to deliver a polished, error-free solution that removes the barriers of building physical studios and managing staffing costs, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional live casino games. This setup lets operators launch any number of tables with various betting limits without extra capital investment, while also allowing them to customize their dealers’ appearance and language. This makes Avanti’s offering a fully localized solution that can easily scale to meet both operator and player needs. Luckia.es will collaborate closely with Avanti to roll out the provider’s game roadmap, with up to 10 new live casino tables scheduled for the launch. The well-known omni-channel operator also has ambitious plans for promoting and featuring Avanti’s content, making this deal poised to permanently transform the live casino landscape in Spain. Jonas Delin, Co-Founder at Avanti Studios, said: “Luckia.es is an omni-channel operator with a robust retail footprint in sports betting, slots, and casino, plus a highly popular online platform—so we couldn’t have chosen a better partner to launch our games in Spain. “We’re excited to expand Luckia’s live casino content portfolio with a wide variety of tables and games, and we’re confident our next-gen titles will provide the operator with the flexibility it needs while also being a massive hit among Spanish players.” Eloy Fernández, Head of Product at Luckia.es, said: “As one of Spain’s top operators, it’s crucial for Luckia to stay at the cutting edge of innovation and source content that lets us offer our players something truly unique—and our partnership with Avanti will do exactly that. “Avanti’s games use a groundbreaking mix of realistic digital dealers and real-time cloud streaming—they look, feel, and play like the real thing, while also offering the transparency and fairness of RNG. This will let us be the first operator in Spain to offer exciting new live casino content in more than a decade.” This article is provided by a third-party.

This innovative offering enables players to secure prizes as high as 1 million euros while enjoying popular slot games, presenting a significant expansion opportunity for affiliate partners. The WonderPot feature elevates ordinary slot gameplay into a more captivating and dynamic experience, encouraging longer play sessions and increased player return. Its effectiveness is already confirmed, as the inaugural WonderPot Jackpot has been won by a fortunate AllySpin customer. Getting started with WonderPot is straightforward. Players can locate WonderPot games in the dedicated Jackpot area or launch any of the 1,000+ eligible games and select 'Opt in'. By choosing a contribution rate of 10%, 20%, or 30%—added to each wager to grow the communal prize pool—every spin offers an opportunity to land one of four jackpot tiers: Flash, Boost, Ultra, and WonderPot. Selecting a higher contribution percentage improves a player's odds of winning a jackpot. The distinctive element of WonderPot lies in its triggering mechanism. Winners are chosen at random through a certified system. Each round has a concealed target value. Without set schedules or a visible timer, the jackpot can be awarded at any instant for any sum up to 1 million euros. As players add to the shared pool, the prize is granted to the individual whose bet pushes the collective total to that hidden target figure. This fosters a continuous feeling of anticipation, where each spin is significant and any moment could yield a major victory. To maximize winning potential, players are advised to remain active, contribute at a higher rate, and continue playing—though the final result is always determined by chance. For affiliate managers, the WonderPot Jackpot serves as a potent tool for boosting performance. It organically extends playing time, encourages repeat visits, and heightens overall engagement by pairing a visibly growing prize with entirely random drop times. The multi-tiered jackpot system provides extra incentive, and the user-friendly entry process allows for easy adoption among a broad player base. This is an ideal moment to incorporate the WonderPot Jackpot into your promotional efforts and direct traffic to AllySpin, where the feature has already demonstrated its power to attract, keep, and grow a player audience.

Evoplay embarks on a safari adventure in Heart of Africa: Lion Way

(AsiaGameHub) -   Evoplay has released its newest slot, Heart of Africa: Lion Way, a game packed with features that embodies the essence and enchantment of the wilderness, set against a backdrop of a sun-drenched savannah. Set within vast desert scenery, Heart of Africa: Lion Way tracks the journey of the jungle's king, merging potent gameplay elements with fixed jackpots. The reels are home to majestic creatures like zebras, giraffes, and elephants, yet the Lion is the star via the central Lion Way feature. This is activated when Lion symbols land in sequence from left to right, with each one granting the value shown, allowing players to win cash prizes or fixed jackpots such as Mini, Mega, Super, and Grand. Gameplay is defined by three unique symbols: the First Lion starts winning sequences, Money Lions hold values up to 15x the bet or jackpot prizes, and Golden Lions activate the Special Bonus Game. The Special Bonus Game takes place on a 3×3 grid and provides three spins, where only Money Lion symbols appear and remain locked. Completely filling the grid awards the Super jackpot, and the total of all collected values decides the final payout from the Golden Lion. Wild symbols land on reels two through four and can replace all standard symbols except for Scatters and Lions, assisting in creating winning combinations in both the base game and Free Spins rounds. Landing three or more Scatter symbols activates the Free Spins feature, granting up to 20 spins. In this mode, Lions appear more often, and additional Free Spins can be retriggered by landing two or more Scatters. A random event may also occur during Free Spins, placing anywhere from two to six Lions on the reels to significantly increase the potential for wins. A Bonus Buy feature is available for players who wish to dive right into the excitement, providing immediate entry to 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins. Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Heart of Africa: Lion Way conveys the untamed beauty and power of the savannah, pairing impressive graphics with engaging features that captivate players from the outset. “The Lion Way mechanic adds a novel dimension to the gameplay, offering a straightforward route to rewards while preserving the thrilling unpredictability characteristic of the wild.” This article is provided by a third-party.

美國參議院擬於四月推動加密貨幣監管重大突破,參議院銀行委員會準備表決

TLDR (SeaPRwire) -   參議院推動四月表決,以推動備受期待的加密貨幣監管 議員致力解決SEC與CFTC在加密貨幣監管中的職權問題 2026年中期選舉將至,加密貨幣監管的緊迫性提升 穩定幣與代幣相關議題塑造最終加密貨幣監管法案草案 參議院委員會審查為加密貨幣監管的重大轉變鋪路 美國國會議員正朝推動加密貨幣監管邁進,四月現已成為關鍵的立法窗口。參議院銀行委員會計劃重新展開討論,並推動結構化法案前進。因此,美國的加密貨幣監管很快就能從辯論階段轉為可落實的政策。 參議院銀行委員會透露將於四月推動加密貨幣監管 Bill Hagerty確認,參議院銀行委員會將於四月恢復推動加密貨幣監管相關工作。他指出,議員們計劃在數週內將該法案提交委員會審查。此一進程在歷經數月延宕後,顯示出新的緊迫感。 此前因政治干擾與未解決的政策分歧,議員們暫停了相關工作。不過現在委員會成員似乎已達成共識,將透過正式的條文審議會議推動加密貨幣監管。因此,四月有望成為今年首次有結構性進展的時間點。 該委員會必須在法案提交參議院全院表決前完成審查與通過。此外,由於雙方皆有監管職權,與農業委員會的協調仍舊必要。因此,加密貨幣監管仍舊仰賴跨委員會的意見整合。 管轄權辯論構成加密貨幣監管框架的核心 此次擬訂的框架旨在釐清美國證券交易委員會(SEC)與商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC)的監管職權。目前兩家機構皆聲稱對數位資產擁有重疊的管轄權,導致加密貨幣監管缺乏一致的執行標準。 SEC將多數代幣視為證券,而CFTC則將大型資產歸類為商品。此一分歧導致監管以執法為主,而非訂立明確規則。因此,該法案旨在為加密貨幣監管建立明確的界線。 議員們計劃為交易所與託管機構引入牌照要求,同時也打算為代幣發行方訂立揭露標準。因此,加密貨幣監管有望為市場帶來統一的合規義務。 政治壓力與產業影響力推動時程安排 隨著2026年中期選舉將至,政治動態正加速加密貨幣監管的進程。議員們察覺到數位資產倡議團體的影響力日益提升,因此加密貨幣監管如今已具備選舉層面的意義。 Coinbase與相關團體已指出,雙方在主要政策分歧上已取得進展,其中包括穩定幣收益相關疑慮,以及與代幣化資產相關的倫理議題。因此,談判似乎更接近達成共識。 聚焦加密貨幣的政治委員會已在各選舉周期中增加經費與競選活動。此一財政影響力持續塑造華盛頓的立法優先事項,因此加密貨幣監管如今已與更廣泛的政治戰略相互交織。 議員們打算在選舉周期升溫前完成委員會的審核通過。不過他們仍須解決尚未處理的技術與管轄權議題。因此,加密貨幣監管仍在推動中,但尚未完成。 若委員會表決順利,將為數位資產建立清晰的立法路徑,同時也能減少長期限制國內市場成長的不確定性。因此,加密貨幣監管有望重塑美國處理數位金融的方式。  本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Amnesty Claims Cambodia Approved Casinos Associated with Scam Compounds

(AsiaGameHub) -   Cambodia's casino licensing practices are under renewed scrutiny following a report from Amnesty International alleging that a dozen authorized gaming venues are connected to scam compounds associated with torture, human trafficking, forced labor, and other abuses. The human rights organization stated the sites are located in Sihanoukville, Poipet, Bavet, and Chrey Thum, and confirmed they hold licenses issued by the Commercial Gambling Management Commission. Good to Know Amnesty indicated its conclusions were drawn from casino license records, physical inspections of the locations, and accounts from individuals who survived the compounds. The organization identified 12 specific casino sites and connected a number of them to domestic firms that already run licensed gaming establishments. The report does not indicate any connection between the Cambodian properties and the Crown brand in Australia or the Venetian brands in Macau or the United States. Licences First Questions After The most critical aspect of the Amnesty report is not simply the list of casinos, but the timing. Despite the Cambodian government's assertions that it is dismantling scam compounds, Amnesty claims that casino licenses have continued to be granted for sites purportedly linked to the very same abusive operations. Among the venues named were Crown Bavet Casino, Crown Resorts in Poipet, and Crown Casino Chrey Thom, which are operated by Anco Brothers Co Ltd. Also listed was New Venetian Casino in Bavet, under New Venetian Resort Co Ltd. Other cited locations included Casino Kyom, Marinan International, Peak Casino, Majestic Hotel & Casino, Majestic Two, Long Feng Xuan Casino, Huang or Wang Chao International, and Golden Sea Casino. Montse Ferrer stated:“This research establishes a clear link between Cambodia’s licensed casinos and its scamming compounds. “At a time when the [Cambodian] government says it is dismantling the scamming industry, the evidence shows it is simultaneously recognising the plans for casino properties where abusive scamming compounds are run.” This represents the central issue for the gaming sector. Amnesty is not merely leveling accusations at private companies; it is questioning why official approvals are still being granted to locations the group asserts are involved in severe human rights abuses. Ferrer added: “This contradiction raises urgent questions about whether Cambodian regulators are legitimising companies linked to grave abuses. The authorities must explain why casinos with documented links to trafficking and torture continue to receive official approval.”The broader context has also intensified. Amnesty has been monitoring scam compounds in Cambodia for several months, and the Cambodian parliament passed a cybercrime law on April 3, which authorities stated would aid a nationwide crackdown on scam networks.

Narcis Nedelcu Secures Record Irish Open Main Event Victory, Earns €336,798 Post-Deal

(AsiaGameHub) -   An agreement adjusted the prize distributions. Just four hands later, the championship was decided. Narcis Nedelcu concluded the 2026 Irish Open Main Event in Dublin, transforming a massive field into the largest live tournament cash of his career. Key Details The €1,150 Main Event attracted 5,003 participants from 60 countries The €2,500,000 guarantee expanded into a €4,852,910 prize pool A five-way ICM deal left €70,227 and the trophy still to be played for Agreement Precedes Victory The final five players ceased contending for the full payout structure and instead opted for a deal. Once the agreement was made, Nedelcu swiftly completed the task. He eliminated Oliver Gayko and Daryl McAleenan in the same hand with pocket queens, then removed Vasyl Palandiuk, and finally defeated Danilo Donnini in heads-up play when his ace-deuce held against king-six. Nedelcu secured €336,798. Nedelcu shared with reporters: “I feel incredible. It’s something truly, truly special.“I’m struggling to describe it right now. I believe I’m now fifth on the Romanian all-time money list, and also fourth online, so yes, I’m doing well.” Before any discussions of a deal, the event had already comfortably exceeded its guarantee. PokerStars and Paddy Power Poker had backed a €2,500,000 promise, but the total prize pool ultimately climbed to €4,852,910. The first-place prize was initially set at €517,100 before the chop altered the payouts. Donnini, Palandiuk, Gayko, and McAleenan all joined Nedelcu in the agreement, with each securing a minimum of €250,493. Nedelcu's path to this point did not begin with him in a dominant position. Ten players returned for the final day. Jarkko Suokas exited on the final table bubble. Nedelcu started in the middle of the pack, doubled up when his pocket jacks held against Isaac Barker's nines, then eliminated Barker shortly after to seize the chip lead. Donnini later knocked out online qualifier Francesco Gisolfi, who had entered for just €10, in sixth place. Nedelcu commented:“I wasn’t stressed about the money, but I did feel the pressure from the blinds. They become very large, and the variance increases. So, yes, it’s better this way.” The victory brought more than just monetary reward. Nedelcu earned PokerStars Live Leaderboard points and stated his intention to continue pursuing that competition. “I once favored online poker, but now I prefer live poker, so you will certainly see me in Monte Carlo,” he remarked. This achievement followed just weeks after another six-figure payout from a significant PokerStars SCOOP online tournament. Beyond the Main Event, the Irish Open also utilized the week to promote its upcoming expansion strategy, with events scheduled for Sydney from September 6 to 15 and Marrakech from November 10 to 15. A United States event is slated for early 2027. Final Table Results Narcis Nedelcu — Romania — €336,798 Danilo Donnini — Italy — €257,662 Vasyl Palandiuk — Italy — €255,188 Daryl McAleenan — Ireland — €250,493 Oliver Gayko — Germany — €285,379 Francesco Gisolfi — Italy — €105,070 Isaac Barker — United Kingdom — €80,800 Matthew Twomey — Ireland — €62,170 Edward Dunphy — Ireland — €47,800 This article is provided by a third-party.

George Janssen Seeks Reduced Sentence To Fund Restitution Through Poker

(AsiaGameHub) -   George Janssen's current legal strategy centers on the poker table. As he awaits sentencing, the Michigan resident is requesting a reduced prison term to allow him to continue earning through poker tournaments and use those winnings to satisfy restitution obligations. Key Details George Janssen entered a guilty plea in August 2025 for financial institution fraud. Prosecutors stated that the fraudulent scheme defrauded several credit unions of nearly $4 million. His legal counsel is advocating for a 24-month sentence, as opposed to the recommended 51 months. Poker Prioritized Over Immediate Incarceration The defense is not contesting guilt but rather arguing for a more practical approach. Keith E. Corbett has informed the court that Janssen possesses the ability to generate income through poker and would benefit from a shorter sentence, enabling him to begin compensating victims sooner. “It is Mr. Janssen’s intention to pay restitution to all affected parties with the proceeds of his poker winnings,” stated his attorney, Keith E. Corbett of Barone Defense Firm, in a recent court submission.Corbett is seeking a 24-month sentence, significantly less than the 51-month minimum suggested. The core argument is straightforward: a shorter period of incarceration translates to more opportunities to participate in larger tournaments, which in turn offers a greater potential to generate substantial restitution funds. “This will allow him to reunite with his wife and Children as well as attempting to make restitution,” Corbett wrote. “Spending four years in prison will help nobody.” Consistently Profitable This argument is supported by recent performance data, not just theoretical potential. Janssen, a four-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner with $505,291 in earnings according to Hendon Mob, secured $18,556 at Firekeepers Casino in Battle Creek shortly after his guilty plea. He subsequently won $2,553 in a $200 bounty event at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort, followed by a third-place finish earning $4,323 in a $300 event at the same venue. Corbett indicated that Janssen has been relying on local casino poker tournaments as his primary source of income since last summer.“He has been quite open with the probation department about his efforts to earn an income from playing poker. He has provided records which make it clear that he can earn a living playing poker.” The attorney also sought to bolster this claim with external validation. “Conversations with numerous gambling experts have advised me that good poker players have a excellent opportunity to make a profit on a regular basis.” “Janssen has always made a profit,” he asserted. The underlying crime, which necessitates the restitution, is addressed subsequently. The Department of Justice charged Janssen with one count of financial institution fraud stemming from a fraudulent auto loan scheme connected to his former car dealership. Prosecutors alleged that he employed deceptive means, representations, or promises to acquire funds from multiple credit lenders between June 2016 and October 2023. He pleaded guilty in August 2025. COVID-Related Financial Strain Corbett attributed the scheme's origins to business pressures experienced by the dealership during the Coronavirus pandemic, which led to increased financial difficulties.“As the economy slowed down George was faced with significant challenges in his business. These problems cause(d) him to engage in the activities that resulted in the charges in this case. It was always George’s intention to pay the money back and ensure no one suffered financial harm.” This purported plan continued to escalate until it ultimately failed. “This unrealistic expectation eventually resulted in a formal accusation in this matter. Proving the maxim that ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions.'” Well before the sentencing phase, the case had already taken an unusual turn. In December 2023, Janssen was discovered on a rural Michigan road, injured and bound with zip ties, after alleging he had been abducted and extorted by gang members for over a month. Investigators later concluded this account was fabricated and linked to his financial difficulties, with the subsequent FBI investigation leading to the fraud charges. By that point, according to the defense, Janssen had already alerted major victims before the situation fully deteriorated. Copoco Community Credit Union subsequently filed a civil lawsuit against him. Corbett also stated that Janssen had divested all assets in his possession, including his home and several acres of land. Therefore, the court's current focus is on a more specific question: not whether Janssen committed the fraud, which he has admitted to, but rather whether a shorter sentence would improve the likelihood of victims recovering their funds. Corbett also characterized Janssen in this manner within the court filing. “He has never denied his guilt in this matter and has done everything in his power to accept responsibility for his actions.” This article is provided by a third-party.
