Amusnet at SiGMA South America: Boosting visibility and engagement in the industry

(AsiaGameHub) -   Amusnet celebrated its 10th year in business at SiGMA South America, placing a heavy emphasis on fostering engagement, building strategic partnerships, and boosting visibility through content. Press release.- At SiGMA South America, Amusnet crafted an environment where the industry felt vibrant and purposeful, especially as the company commemorates its 10th anniversary. Right from the event’s opening, their booth emerged as a hub for discussions, content sharing, and networking—mirroring ten years of expansion and a vision focused on the future. During the event, the booth hosted several key visits, such as representatives from LOUD—Latin America’s biggest esports group and a dominant player in content creation and streaming, counting football icon Vinicius Júnior as one of its shareholders. LOUD streamer Brabox’s attendance also brought a unique angle to the talks, underscoring the increasing overlap between gaming and the creator community. Marco Pequeno, Amusnet Brazil’s country manager, stated: “In our industry today, success isn’t just about having a top-tier product. The true differentiator lies in how that product is positioned and how it connects with players through various channels.” Live content helped expand the booth’s influence beyond the event floor. Content creators like Thimagroo and Zanolinii shared updates from the booth, along with the Brasil Bet Show team—a prominent content hub in Brazil’s online casino sector. Moreover, on-site interviews by Brasil Bet Show gathered industry experts, turning each conversation into a chance to enhance visibility and solidify Amusnet’s standing in the market. Behind the scenes, the energy kept going. Talks with operators and partners progressed with a distinct focus: player retention. As competition heats up in the market, attention was on tools aimed at boosting engagement and encouraging players to return—showing how the industry is moving from acquiring new users to prioritizing long-term value. Amusnet’s achievements were recognized with two significant awards: Best Game Studio at the SiGMA Awards South America and Best Slot Game for Caramelo Sortudo at the BiS Awards. These honors highlighted not only the quality of their portfolio but also how well it aligns with the tastes of local players. At SiGMA São Paulo, the core narrative was about establishing relevance among diverse audiences, partners, and markets. On stage with Marco Pequeno, Amusnet Brazil’s country manager: navigating market realities and global insights Beyond the buzz of the event floor, Amusnet’s participation at SiGMA South America reached the core of industry discussions, where critical conversations about gaming’s future were unfolding. Leading these exchanges was Marco Pequeno, Brazil’s country manager, who actively shaped the conference’s direction as both a speaker and moderator. As part of the official program, Pequeno offered a keen, market-focused viewpoint during the discussion “Physical or Digital? Boundaries and Convergences in the Casino Industry,” emphasizing a clear message: the industry’s rules have evolved. In an environment where product quality alone no longer sets companies apart, he highlighted a fundamental shift. Now, success hinges on activities outside the platform. CRM strategies, influencers, and streamers are no longer just add-ons—they’re essential to how games gain momentum, visibility, and ultimately perform on operator platforms. His insights also shed light on a unique trend in Brazil. Unlike more established markets where in-platform placement often leads to discovery, Brazil has reversed this model. “In Brazil, visibility begins outside the platform—through acquisition tactics and digital exposure—before translating into placement within the game grid. For providers, this means adapting fast and maintaining a presence across multiple channels, and increasingly, sharing risks with operators to stay competitive,” Marco Pequeno explained. In addition to speaking, Pequeno served as a moderator, leading the panel “Between Successes and Missteps in Markets With Existing Land-Based Casinos.” The session gathered experts from Brazil and overseas, fostering a space for practical, experience-based talks on regulation, governance, and operational challenges. This exchange helped clarify broader perspectives. As the panel emphasized, international benchmarks are crucial not just for understanding operational models but also for assessing the sector’s broader impact—from job creation and tax income to tourism and investment. On stage, Pequeno’s input linked local market trends with global expertise, providing a clearer picture of Brazil’s current position and future trajectory. This article is provided by a third-party.

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator Grants Operators Tighter Control Over Campaigns

(AsiaGameHub) -   SOFTSWISS has introduced the Tournaments Report and Instant Tournaments features for its Game Aggregator, equipping operators with improved campaign oversight and novel engagement methods to enhance performance tracking. Press release.- SOFTSWISS has launched two new tournament features within its Game Aggregator’s back office: the Tournaments Report and Instant Tournaments. Collectively, these tools empower operators to execute campaigns and evaluate their outcomes with greater accuracy. Tournaments Report: comprehensive campaign visibility in a single interface Tournament data encompasses campaigns, player segments, and timeframes, and the complexity of this picture increases with the scale of operations. The Tournaments Report addresses this by consolidating all essential metrics into one view. Operators can now compare different campaigns, understand player behavior patterns, and refine their strategies without needing to switch between multiple tools. Designed to align with operators' daily tasks, the report provides insights into: Campaign planning – enabling the listing of tournaments for any given period and the identification of performance trends to inform future campaign strategies. Format comparison – allowing filtering by mechanic to determine which formats generate the highest player activity and Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR). Market analysis – utilizing currency breakdowns to compare results across regulated markets and adjust prize structures accordingly. Game and provider performance – identifying which games and studios perform best within tournaments to build campaigns around proven content. Khoren Ispiryan, Senior Business Development Manager at SOFTSWISS, stated: “Tournaments are among our most effective engagement tools, but successful execution requires a precise understanding of each campaign’s performance. For our Tournaments Report feature, our focus was on providing complete performance visibility. Teams can rapidly identify which tournament formats genuinely drive engagement and revenue, enabling immediate application of these insights.” The new feature also streamlines the process from data analysis to action. Operators can access tournament settings or download leaderboards directly from the report, eliminating the additional steps that can slow down campaign management. Instant Tournament: a more rapid and competitive format Instant Tournaments introduce a novel mechanic where players compete to achieve a target multiplier rather than accumulating points over time. The first player to reach the target wins. Operators can define the target multiplier and the number of winners. A live progress bar maintains visibility of the competition throughout, and consolation prizes can be offered to keep more players engaged until the conclusion. Instant Tournaments conclude automatically once all winning positions are filled, introducing an element of unpredictability that intensifies the competition. The Tournaments Report and Instant Tournaments are part of a series of recent product enhancements across the SOFTSWISS portfolio. The B2B provider recently also unveiled the Prediction Markets Platform – a fixed-odds solution that enables operators to offer event-based wagering on real-world occurrences in politics, economics, and technology.

45年前,一部被遺忘的科幻影集暗藏精彩結局

NBC(SeaPRwire) -   未來從何而來?在過去的一百年間,未來一直源自於科幻小說。潛水艇、手機、電擊槍和核能,在成為現實之前都先出現在科幻作品中。甚至連這個類型本身也充滿了各種原型,由於它們已深深植根於我們的期望之中,以至於我們幾乎察覺不到這些是創意決策。覺得外星人和雷射槍很酷嗎?這得感謝 Buck Rogers!他在 Han Solo 第一次開槍之前,就已經是那個模樣了。嚴格來說,你應該感謝 Buck Rogers 的創作者 Philip Francis Nowlan,以及在長達近 60 年的漫畫連載中負責 Buck 太空冒險的藝術家與作家們。這段長達數十年的傳奇最終在 1979 年的電視劇《Buck Rogers in the 25th Century》中達到頂峰。遺憾的是,該劇並未像其平面媒體版本那樣產生同樣的影響力,並於 1981 年結束。最後一集「The Dorian Secret」於 45 年前的本週播出,但它以真正的 Buck Rogers 風格,轟轟烈烈地畫下了句點。當《Buck Rogers in the 25th Century》播出到「The Dorian Secret」時,該劇已經在動盪的第二季中艱難前行。第一季的背景設定在地球,具體來說是新芝加哥(New Chicago),帶有當時所謂的「迪斯可科幻」氛圍。大量的亮片服裝和由通俗幽默驅動的愚蠢情節,將該劇定位為一部輕鬆愉快的作品。然而,來自製片廠的壓力和創作衝突導致了第二季的重大改革。新芝加哥那些浮華且輕浮的冒險已不復存在。取而代之的是,Buck 和他的船員整個賽季都待在他們的飛船 The Searcher 上。他們的冒險採取了更黑暗、更嚴肅的基調,與之前建立的奇思妙想相比,讓人感到強烈的反差。儘管當時不受歡迎,但這種基調的轉變卻具有先見之明。第二季距離《Star Trek: The Next Generation》的首次亮相僅幾年之遙,後者是一部(主要是)關於太空船長及其船員的嚴肅劇集。事實上,80 年代末和 90 年代許多受歡迎的科幻電視劇,若放在 The Searcher 上也會顯得十分契合,這就是為什麼「The Dorian Secret」顯得如此超前於時代。Asteria 喘口氣。 | NBC這一集的衝突是一個常見的橋段。The Searcher 的船員在一個太空站接載一批逃離另一顆星球火山爆發的難民時,遇到了逃亡的 Dorian 人 Asteria。像所有 Dorian 人一樣,她是一名自認戴著面具的變種人。她說服 Buck 讓她安全地登上他的飛船,當然,Buck 必須擊退追捕她的蒙面 Dorian 人。在混戰中,Asteria 的面具掉了下來,露出了面具下那張相當迷人的臉龐。Buck 不明白她為什麼要戴面具,但他還是讓她與其他難民一起登船了。遺憾的是,Dorian 人並沒有那麼容易放棄。他們的首領 Koldan 聲稱她因謀殺了他的兒子 Chosan 而被通緝。他倖存的兒子 Demeter 也要求伸張正義。Dorian 人擁有監視錄影畫面,據稱顯示她將 Chosan 推下了懸崖。他們透過操縱船上的溫度來攻擊 The Searcher,並威脅如果不交出 Asteria 就要摧毀飛船。隨著熱度直線上升,緊張局勢也隨之升溫。這是一場典型的偏執獵巫行動,人們爭論不休,難民們試圖找出混在他們中間的 Dorian 人,以便將她趕走。Buck 把 Asteria 拉到一旁詢問真相,她聲稱這一切都是誤會。她愛著 Chosan,並去他們初次見面的山丘上找他。但當她到達時,發現他已經受傷,隨後他失足跌落懸崖。她跑去求救,而其他人發現了 Chosan 的屍體,使她成為謀殺案的主要嫌疑人。在這次揭露後不久,乘客們發現了她的身份,事情變得真正有趣起來。指責聲在 The Searcher 上此起彼落。 | NBC乘客們投票決定將 Asteria 趕下船。Buck 與 Koldar 交談,卻發現他對伸張正義的決心堅定不移,並要求處決她。Demeter 似乎確信 Asteria 有罪,但處決她的想法讓他感到不安。於是 Buck 做了一個冒險的決定。他沒有將 Asteria 交給 Dorian 人,而是建議當場處決她會更簡單。突然間,氣氛變了。難民們退縮了,但 Koldar 卻不為所動。然而,Demeter 終於崩潰並揭露了這個大秘密。原來他曾與兄弟發生過激烈的衝突,並對 Chosan 的受傷負有責任。原因是什麼?Chosan 和 Asteria 正在進行一場不戴面具的戀情!這在 Dorian 社會中是被禁止的,因為面具是他們身份的核心。但為什麼呢?Demeter 發表了一段簡短的獨白,宣稱:「一個盲目服從習俗的種族根本不是一個種族,而是一群奴隸!」在哀悼兄弟毫無意義的死亡時,他憤而摘下了面具。他的父親被這一舉動所感動,命令其餘的士兵也摘下面具。劇情大反轉!面具下每個人的長相都一樣。Dorian 人本質上是一個複製人種族,而面具是為了掩蓋他們的羞恥。Asteria 的性命得以保全,Buck 回到 The Searcher,在劇集永久結束前,他向難民們講述了暴民心態的危險性。「The Dorian Secret」既是結局,也是該劇在不同願景之間徘徊的縮影。其核心轉折暗示了 Buck Rogers 本可以成為一部更黑暗、更奇特、更具內省性的劇集,但最後一季不均衡的執行力使其成為一個不完美卻引人入勝的結尾篇章。最終,隨著現代科幻小說大多追求這種內省,Buck Rogers 再次成為了該類型的未來。Buck Rogers in the 25th Century 可在 Internet Archive 上觀看。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。

Focus Gaming News founder Fernando Saffores tells Slotegrator that “the wall” is merely a mental barrier

(AsiaGameHub) -   Fernando Saffores, CEO and Founder of Focus Gaming News, talks through the development of the igaming sector, the value of discipline, and core challenges for new operators in an exclusive interview with Slotegrator. Press release.- Fernando Saffores, CEO and founder of Focus Gaming News, outlines the core values that have steered him through more than 20 years of success in the igaming industry in a new interview with Slotegrator. He also points out key lessons business leaders can learn from marathon running and private plane piloting, as well as the most pressing hurdles new operators face and the markets and trends set to shape the future of igaming. Saffores has witnessed enormous shifts in the igaming industry over his 20+ years of experience: the transition from an unregulated “Wild West” landscape to a sophisticated, multi-billion-dollar sector, the overturning of PASPA, and the rollout of AI tools that his company moved quickly to adopt. He shares the core principles that have guided him to success through all these changes in the new interview with Slotegrator. The insights needed to rise to the top of an industry like igaming can come from any source: Alongside leading one of the sector’s most well-known media brands, Fernando makes time to run marathons. In his view, the planning, discipline, and mental resilience required to complete a 42 km race mirror the skills needed to run a successful business. Consistency is a core factor: “You don’t finish a marathon on race day itself; you earn that finish over months of 5:30 AM training sessions.” Another useful parallel comes from Fernando’s experience as a private pilot. Flying demands intense focus and the ability to make split-second decisions under pressure, skills that are just as applicable in the boardroom as they are in the cockpit — he shares other practical takeaways from this experience in the interview. Fernando also breaks down the biggest obstacles facing new operators today: “meaningful differentiation in a saturated market.” New igaming businesses have to grapple with soaring CAC, complex compliance rules, and the challenge of carving out an appropriate unique niche — whether that is via hyper-localised content, superior UX, innovative gamification features, or other offerings. In the interview, Fernando shares the single approach he believes delivers the greatest impact for emerging operators. Scaling is a top priority for every business, but navigating differing laws, tax structures, and cultural specifics across global jurisdictions is no easy feat; in the interview, Fernando calls out the repeated strategic misstep he sees operators make time and time again that prevents them from growing into global players. Fernando also covers the markets and trends that will define the near future of the igaming industry, the brands he first reached out to for support when founding FGN, the full scope of FGN’s reach, his thoughts on the global AI boom, and more — read the full interview here (https://slotegrator.pro/interview/fgn-founder-fernando-saffores/) to learn more about Fernando’s lessons in resilience, inspiration, and dedication.

Paramount/CBS(SeaPRwire) -   《星際爭霸戰》系列很喜歡給予角色追溯性的記憶。最著名的是,由 Morgan Gendel 編寫的《銀河飛龍》經典劇集「The Inner Light」讓 Jean-Luc Picard 在短短幾分鐘內體驗了完整的一生。《銀河飛龍》還讓 Picard 經歷了更多心碎,例如 Sarek 曾多次與他進行心靈融合,將包括 Spock 在內的家族記憶也變成了他的一部分。最近,《Strange New Worlds》和《Starfleet Academy》也運用了這種濃縮記憶的橋段,帶來了溫馨而令人心碎的結果。但如果這種即時記憶並非一個甜蜜的科幻寓言呢?如果擁有濃縮、植入的記憶反而是懲罰呢?30 年前,在 1996 年 4 月 15 日那一週,《銀河飛龍》透過殘酷的劇集「Hard Time」顛覆了這個科幻轉折。部分原因在於它如此令人不寒而慄,是因為它沒有試圖隱藏科幻的轉折。相反,「Hard Time」以《Black Mirror》如今可能會採用的方式來處理這個問題。它關注的不是這些記憶是「假的」這個揭示,而是揭示之後這些記憶對一個人可能造成的影響。「Hard Time」最聰明的地方在於,原本可能是一個類似《陰陽魔界》的驚人轉折,卻在標題字幕出現前的幾分鐘內就揭曉了。O’Brien 艦長(Colm Meaney 飾)坐在一間陌生的牢房裡,在沙地上畫著精緻的圖案。綠色的能量穿過房間,據說是為了淨化他,並抹去了他的沙畫。他留著巨大的鬍子,我們顯然應該認為這是年老的他。突然,一位外星獄警說他已經在這裡待了 20 年,是時候讓他離開了。鏡頭切換到現在,我們熟悉的年輕 O’Brien 從醫療床上被解開束縛,Kira(Nana Visitor 飾)在一旁悲傷地看著。Miles 是不是有什麼幻覺疾病?不,在被 Argrathi 指控為間諜後,O’Brien 被判處了虛擬監禁。虛假的監禁只是 O’Brien 麻煩的開始。| CBS/Paramount從那裡開始,劇集深入探討了這種虛擬記憶對一個人可能造成的影響,以及一個人如何在腦海中真正承受 20 年的模擬監禁。這裡最有趣的轉折不僅在於 O’Brien 遭受了嚴重的(即時)創傷,更在於他對他的朋友和家人撒謊,隱瞞他的虛擬記憶。他撒謊的內容是一個巨大的劇透,如果你從未看過這集(或者你自己的記憶被篡改了),你應該觀看「Hard Time」來親眼見證這個揭示。如果你認識的人被 AI 機器人欺騙了,他們會說實話嗎?也許會,也許不會。這取決於他們對自己轉移到 AI 上的真實情感可能感到多少內疚。這並不是說「Hard Time」是關於 AI 的,但它預示了一些當代關於 AI 的討論。O’Brien 的獄友 Ee’char(Craig Wasson 飾)實際上並不存在,但 O’Brien 對他的強烈記憶卻改變了他的人生。這與「The Inner Light」的橋段不同,後者中的 Kataan 人實際上是存在的。在「Hard Time」中,這一切都沒有發生,這使得 O’Brien 的痛苦和折磨更加令人毛骨悚然。O’Brien 又經歷了一次艱難的考驗。| CBS/Paramount《DS9》的粉絲們可能都知道,該劇集經常出現 O’Brien 經歷各種悲慘情節的劇集,似乎是因為編劇們喜歡折磨他。這通常被稱為「O’Brien Must Suffer」公式,長期擔任《DS9》節目統籌的 Ira Steven Behr 在《Deep Space Nine Companion》中如此描述:「每年,我們都喜歡讓 O’Brien 徹底瘋掉……我們就是喜歡折磨他,因為他是一個很棒的角色。而且他非常容易讓人產生共鳴。」在所有「O’Brien Must Suffer」的劇集中,「Hard Time」是最具創意的。原本可能以「這一切都是一場夢」結尾的劇集,卻變成了更黑暗的東西。是的,這一切都是一場夢,但這並沒有讓任何事情變得更好。事實上,它讓事情變得更糟了。Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 在 Paramount+ 上串流播放。Phasers on Stun!: How the Making — and Remaking — of Star Trek Changed the WorldAmazon - 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。

莱巴嫩停火可能为“生力枪”带来希望——美国参议员

(SeaPRwire) -   共和黨參議員 Lindsey Graham 表示,美國斡旋的停火協議不應削弱以色列打擊武裝分子的能力。 共和黨參議員 Lindsey Graham 批評了美國斡旋的以色列與黎巴嫩之間的停火協議,認為這可能會壯大總部位於黎巴嫩的武裝組織 Hezbollah。 這項於週五生效的 10 天停火協議,旨在停止以色列在黎巴嫩的軍事行動;該行動已造成 2,196 人死亡,120 萬人流離失所。在 Hezbollah 為支持伊朗而向以色列發射火箭彈後,Israel Defense Forces (IDF) 上個月恢復了空襲並擴大了在黎巴嫩南部的軍事存在。 「雖然我感謝為透過外交手段在中東,特別是在黎巴嫩實現和平所做的每一項努力,但我們必須對實地情況保持現實,」Graham 在 X 上寫道。 「我們以和平之名最不該做的事,就是透過限制以色列攻擊這個恐怖組織的能力,來為 Hezbollah 提供一條生命線,」他表示,並補充說黎巴嫩軍隊在「切實解除 Hezbollah 武裝方面一直顯得極度無能。」 「我不會支持任何關於黎巴嫩和平的協議,除非它能說服我,該協議將導致 Hezbollah 作為一個恐怖組織的解除武裝與滅亡,」Graham 說。 根據美國國務院的說法,以色列已同意停止「針對黎巴嫩目標的進攻性軍事行動」,但保留了「採取一切必要措施進行自衛」的權利。該協議還要求黎巴嫩政府防止 Hezbollah 攻擊「以色列目標。」 未參與美國斡旋談判的 Hezbollah 表示,停火必須停止 IDF 在黎巴嫩的所有活動。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。

ECJ Upholds Germany’s Position Against Maltese Gambling Operators

(AsiaGameHub) -   A preliminary judgment supports the German regulator's position that European Union law does not preclude it from prohibiting gambling operators licensed in Malta. Luxembourg.- The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has delivered a further opinion that opposes Malta’s efforts to shield its igaming companies from legal action in other EU member nations. A preliminary ruling concerning German regulators, Maltese authorities, and the Malta-based branches of Lottoland indicates that EU law does not stop individual member states from banning online gambling services that originate from other parts of the Union. This verdict contradicts Malta’s contention that such bans violate the EU principle of the free movement of services. It strengthens Germany’s limitations on online gambling and bolsters the arguments of consumers pursuing compensation for losses sustained while using unlicensed operators that lacked the necessary authorization. While the ECJ ruling specifically addresses the Lottoland case, it carries potential consequences for other active legal disputes, such as those involving Tipico in Germany and Virtual Services Digital Limited in Austria. The Lottoland litigation was initiated by a player requesting a refund for losses suffered between 2019 and 2021, the period during which Germany commenced the regulation of online gambling. The court specified that Article 56A of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union does not prohibit national laws from outlawing online casino games, slot machines, or lottery betting, effectively nullifying Malta’s primary legal defense. Nevertheless, these conflicts remain unresolved. In 2023, Malta updated its Gambling Act via Bill 55, enabling Maltese courts to reject foreign judgments against operators based in Malta, as long as those companies adhere to Maltese law, regardless of whether they violate regulations in other EU jurisdictions. Malta maintains that this amendment is based on the EU principles of the free movement of services and trade. Furthermore, it cites the Brussels I Recast Regulation, which oversees the mutual recognition of legal judgments, asserting that foreign rulings that clash with its internal legal framework should not be executed locally.

伊朗冲突可能引发全球饥荒 –慈善机构创始人警告

(SeaPRwire) -   World Central Kitchen的何塞·安德烈斯警告,霍爾木茲海峽的肥料運輸中斷可能導致收成銳減 World Central Kitchen (WCK) 創辦人何塞·安德烈斯警告,由美國和以色列對伊朗的戰爭所引起的肥料供應中斷,可能引發全球性的多年糧食危機。 霍爾木茲海峽周邊的緊張局勢已經推高了能源價格並動搖了全球經濟,擾亂了世界上最重要的貿易通道之一。該路線處理全球約20%的原油出口,但對於氮肥的運輸也至關重要。 安德烈斯週四向《衛報》表示,肥料交付的延誤可能錯過關鍵的種植時機,降低後續收成的產量,並引發產量下降和食品價格上漲的連鎖反應。 「不僅僅是石油通過霍爾木茲海峽運出。我預見到到2026年和2027年秋季,全球饑荒將大幅增加,」 他說,並警告霍爾木茲海峽及其周邊的航運混亂已經收緊了肥料供應,並推高了農民的成本。 據報導,這場衝突也導致波斯灣地區的肥料工廠停產,進一步加劇了供應緊張。氮肥佔全球使用量的大部分,並支撐著全球約一半的糧食生產。隨著波斯灣作為關鍵出口樞紐,海上航線的中斷在種植旺季加劇了短缺情況。 安德烈斯警告,較貧窮的國家將首當其衝。「在像海地這樣的地方,他們不會給你一公斤米飯,而是一次給你一盎司。那些人將承受後果,」 他說,並建議各國政府將國家預算的一小部分用於糧食安全。 一份聯合國開發計劃署的報告估計,由於中東戰爭更廣泛的經濟影響,多達162個國家的3200萬人可能陷入貧困,依賴進口的國家面臨最大的壓力。最沉重的負擔預計將出現在亞洲部分地區、撒哈拉以南非洲和小島嶼國家。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。

Legislation granting local councils greater control over betting shop licenses moves forward

(AsiaGameHub) -   Local councils would be empowered to carry out Gambling Impact Assessments under Amendment 305. UK.- A bill aimed at providing local governments with greater control over retail gambling licensing has successfully cleared its third reading in the House of Lords. The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill is now proceeding toward final review and Royal Assent. During the reporting phase, several amendments proposed by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing and Local Government, received approval. A key development for the industry is Amendment 305, which integrates Gambling Impact Assessments (GIAs) into the Gambling Act 2005. This shift moves away from the existing “aim to permit” principle, which generally requires licensing authorities to approve applications for betting shops or gaming centers unless they can provide substantial evidence to justify a rejection. Currently, denials without such proof are frequently overturned. GIAs will alter this dynamic by permitting local authorities to identify specific zones where additional gambling venues might be harmful because of cumulative effects and local data on harm. In these designated regions, the burden of proof shifts to the applicants, who must demonstrate compliance with licensing goals to secure approval. The text of the amendment explains: “This would amend the Gambling Act 2005 to enable licensing authorities to adopt, and act in accordance with, policies aimed at preventing the grant of gambling licences in order to respond to (a) the cumulative impact of multiple gambling premises or (b) other reasons relating to the licensing objectives in that Act.” While the measure does not permit an absolute ban on gambling establishments, it allows for more scrutiny. Applicants can still contest rejections and may succeed if they prove they meet licensing standards. Consequently, while the "aim to permit" framework persists, Amendment 305 eliminates the automatic presumption of approval in sensitive areas. Local governments have long sought this level of autonomy to address concerns over the saturation of betting venues. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has previously supported granting councils more authority. The legislation must now return to the House of Commons, where members of parliament retain the power to remove Amendment 305. This article is provided by a third-party.

This approach fosters an environment where members can be truly heard, showcase their work, and interact without barriers. The outcome is a more open, genuine, and active atmosphere that distinguishes itself from conventional, highly regulated communities. The community comprises operators, studios, affiliates, and suppliers from around the globe, all united by a common interest in understanding the key factors driving success in the rapidly evolving iGaming market. Surya Palli, Founder of iGaming Real Talk, commented: “Reaching 500 members is a moment of pride, but the true value lies in the quality of the daily conversations within the group. This community is founded on trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to mutual growth. While our long-form podcasts offer in-depth coverage, the WhatsApp community serves as a constant, real-time extension of those discussions. We are only at the beginning.” With sustained momentum, iGaming Real Talk intends to further enhance the community through exclusive content, industry interviews, and collaborative discussions, positioning it as an indispensable resource for iGaming professionals worldwide.
