(AsiaGameHub) - Norway has launched a four-year initiative aimed at reducing gambling's societal impact, with the program running through 2029. This action plan focuses on creating more prevention campaigns, improving treatment availability, and advancing research, instead of amending current gambling legislation. A key target group is young people aged 9 to 25, as well as other high-risk populations. The plan involves school outreach programs, digital awareness initiatives for youth, and supplying resources to help parents, educators, and communities recognize potential warning signs. Support services will also be strengthened by improving access to a toll-free helpline and broadening the availability of free, remote treatment options. The project's overarching goal is to implement a public health strategy across communities to address gambling-related issues, thereby helping to reduce and prevent gambling addiction and offer better support to at-risk individuals.

(AsiaGameHub) - In the 2025 fiscal year, Success Universe Group reported a net loss of HKD 410.4 million (USD 52.4 million), reversing the HKD 93.4 million (USD 11.9 million) profit it earned in 2024. This downturn is mainly attributed to impairment charges linked to Ponte 16, its former satellite casino in Macau. The primary driver of the company’s annual decline was an impairment charge of HKD 340.7 million (USD 43.5 million) on its ownership stake in Ponte 16, which made up about 83% of the Group’s total fiscal year loss. The Group also recorded a prorated loss of HKD 3.8 million (USD 485,000) from its Ponte 16-related associates—contrasting with the HKD 112 million equity contribution those associates provided in the fiscal year ending December 30, 2024. The official closure of Ponte 16 casino was announced on November 29, 2025, because the involved parties (SJM Resorts Limited) could not finalize a full acquisition agreement. SJM Resorts had previously signaled interest in buying multiple satellite casinos before the December 31, 2025 deadline, but ultimately only went through with the acquisition of L’Arc Casino. On its Ponte 16 investment, Success Universe stated: While the Group expects a significant negative impact on its share of results from associates following the halt of Casino Ponte 16’s operations, it remains committed to its investment in the Ponte 16 project. Ponte 16’s strategic focus will shift to maximizing the value of non-gaming assets while continuing to explore new hospitality and leisure-entertainment opportunities to drive sustainable long-term value. Despite these losses, the company saw an approximate 16% year-on-year increase in total revenues from its other business segments—including travel services, property investments, and financial assets—reaching HKD 59.7 million (USD 7.6 million).

(AsiaGameHub) - The Star Entertainment Group confirmed on Thursday that it has finalized a $390 million refinancing agreement with WhiteHawk Capital. This refinancing will provide the company with an extra $50 million in liquidity by restructuring its current debts and offering the option to refinance new obligations.

(AsiaGameHub) - On March 11, Matthew Ferrara, Altenar’s North America Sales Manager, took part in the Fireside Chat: The Next Generation of Sports Bettors at NEXT Summit New York, alongside representatives from Fanatics and Stokastic. The session centered on a major industry shift: a new cohort of bettors who grew up with mobile-first, instant, digital-native experiences – and they expect sports betting to meet that same standard. Betting is now integrated into the entertainment ecosystem For this new generation, betting has never been an offline, slow activity. It has always been mobile, on-demand, and woven into their daily digital habits. As discussed during the panel, betting is no longer solely about placing a wager. It is a component of a broader entertainment experience – shaped by social interaction, real-time engagement, and community. Users do not only bet. They also: talking through betting picks in group chats reacting to live events together as a community engaging with related content alongside their betting activity For operators, this shifts the core role of the product. It is no longer just a standalone tool – it becomes an integral part of the overall user experience. User expectations are shaped outside the betting industry One of the key themes from the discussion was that sportsbooks are no longer competing only with one another. User expectations are formed by the highest-performing digital products across all industries. Speed, simplicity, and seamless UX are no longer competitive advantages – they are default expectations for users today. Any friction, especially during peak high-demand moments, directly impacts user retention rates. Personalization is growing increasingly critical Matthew Ferrara highlighted an unaddressed gap that still exists across many sportsbook products: how content and betting markets are presented to users. Matthew Ferrara, Altenar’s Sales Manager for North America, said: If you visit a sportsbook and there are 3,000 available options, this can feel incredibly intimidating for the casual recreational user. Every digital product we use today is tailored to us based on our past interactions. Sports betting should be no different. The core challenge is not the total number of betting markets, but the lack of clear structure and relevant personalization. For the new generation of bettors, who are accustomed to personalized feeds across all their digital platforms, sportsbook interfaces need to evolve in this same direction. For Altenar, this means focusing on: delivering relevant betting markets faster reducing how much manual search users need to do building a more intuitive, user-led experience Building products around operator needs A key point emphasized throughout the discussion was the critical importance of flexibility. In a constantly shifting market, product development cannot remain static. Altenar’s product roadmap is shaped by: operator requirements market dynamics competitive insights and continuous product evolution based on market demand Ferrara added: We look at the broader digital landscape and ask: what do users expect today, how are products evolving across social media, ecommerce, AI and everyday digital applications – and how do we bring those same standards into the sportsbook experience. The direction of the market is clear. The next generation of bettors is not adapting to existing sportsbooks. Sportsbooks need to adapt to them. That means: less user friction more relevant experiences more intuitive interfaces and stronger integration with how users already consume digital content in their daily lives Operators that move in this direction will be better positioned to engage and retain users in an increasingly competitive market landscape.

(AsiaGameHub) - A new advertising campaign across digital, television, and radio platforms has been introduced by the department. US.- New public service announcements have been unveiled by the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG), featuring the Take Back the Game campaign. This initiative utilizes digital, TV, and radio ads to promote the state's self-exclusion program. The 30-second commercial, available in both English and Spanish, depicts the self-exclusion process at the department's Phoenix headquarters. Created in partnership with the Arizona Media Association, Take Back the Game is part of a trio of new PSAs. The other campaigns include No Online Casinos in AZ, which highlights the illegality of online casinos in the state, and Too Young to Bet, which focuses on preventing underage gambling. Through the self-exclusion program, individuals can voluntarily ban themselves from all regulated tribal casinos, licensed event wagering, and fantasy sports operators for periods of one, five, or ten years. Over 11,900 residents have utilized the program since it began, with 2,500 individuals currently enrolled. Jackie Johnson, the department's director, stated: “Arizona introduced its voluntary self-exclusion program in the early 2000s to help residents avoid tribal casinos if gambling began to negatively affect their lives. The program was later broadened to cover event wagering and fantasy sports. With the launch of Take Back the Game, our department reinforces self-exclusion as a practical and empowering resource that benefits thousands of people across Arizona.” Earlier this year in January, the ADG’s Division of Problem Gambling revealed its inaugural peer support and recovery services initiative. Dezerve Counselling was selected for the contract, and the program is slated to begin in the middle of 2026. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - According to the legal filing, Kalshi is accused of breaching both the Washington state Gambling Act and the Consumer Protection Act. In the U.S., Washington Attorney General Nick Brown has initiated legal action against Kalshi. The complaint contends that the prediction market operator is breaking state regulations by permitting users to place wagers on sports, political elections, and various other occurrences. The legal action asserts that Kalshi is infringing upon the Washington state Gambling Act and Consumer Protection Act by trying to bypass these statutes through labeling its wagering interface as a prediction market. "Under Washington law, gambling is defined as staking or risking something of value on the result of a contest of chance or a future contingent event, and Kalshi's operations fit squarely within this definition," the filing declares. Brown remarked: "Kalshi encourages wagering on nearly every conceivable aspect of life—including election results, Supreme Court rulings, and even conflicts. To Kalshi, every incident and tragedy serves merely as an opportunity for Americans to gamble their wealth and for Kalshi to profit. While promoting this grim outlook on the future, they fill their coffers and congratulate themselves for evading Washington's gambling statutes. This stops now." Additionally, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has brought criminal charges against KalshiEx and Kalshi Trading, whereas Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has lodged a suit claiming the prediction market firm breached the state's Lawful Sports Betting Act (LSBA). The legal filing requests an abatement order and injunctive relief. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) - Matthew Ferrara, the sales manager for Altenar, explored the changing demands of new sports bettors in a fireside chat at the NEXT Summit New York on March 11. Press release.- On March 11, Matthew Ferrara, Altenar’s Sales Manager for North America, participated in the Fireside Chat: The Next Generation of Sports Bettors at the NEXT Summit New York, with fellow panelists from Fanatics and Stokastic. The conversation centered on a major industry transformation: the emergence of a new cohort of bettors who are accustomed to mobile-first, instant, and inherently digital experiences, and who demand the same from their sports betting platforms. Betting is now part of the entertainment ecosystem For this demographic, betting has always been an online, immediate activity. It is inherently mobile, available on-demand, and woven into their everyday digital routines. As the panel highlighted, placing a bet is no longer an isolated action. It is an element of a wider entertainment landscape, influenced by social connection, live interaction, and a sense of community. Users are engaged in more than just betting. Their activities include: sharing predictions in group chats experiencing live events collectively interacting with content while they bet This evolution alters the function of the product for operators. It transitions from being a mere utility to an integral component of the total user journey. Expectations are set outside the betting industry A central topic was the fact that sportsbooks now face competition beyond their own sector. The benchmark for user expectations is set by top-tier digital products from every industry. Attributes like speed, simplicity, and a fluid user experience are now considered standard requirements, not differentiators. Any form of friction, particularly during peak activity times, has a direct negative effect on customer retention. Personalisation is becoming critical Matthew Ferrara pointed out a common shortfall in many sportsbook offerings: the presentation of content and betting markets. “Presenting a recreational user with a sportsbook containing 3,000 options can be overwhelming.” The issue lies not in the volume of markets, but in their poor organization and lack of personal relevance. For bettors accustomed to customized feeds on other digital platforms, sportsbook interfaces must advance to offer similar personalization. “Our digital experiences are tailored to our behavior. Sports betting should follow the same principle,” Ferrara stated. For Altenar, addressing this involves a focus on: accelerating the delivery of pertinent markets minimizing the necessity for users to search manually developing a more instinctive, user-centric experience Building around operator needs Flexibility was emphasized as a crucial factor throughout the talk. In a constantly evolving market, product development must be dynamic. Altenar's strategic direction is informed by: the specific needs of operators shifting market conditions insights into competitor activity ongoing product refinement driven by market demand “We analyze the wider digital environment to understand current user expectations, track evolution in social media, ecommerce, AI, and daily apps, and determine how to incorporate those benchmarks into the sportsbook,” Ferrara explained. The market's trajectory is unequivocal. Sportsbooks must adapt to the next generation of bettors; these users will not adjust to outdated platforms. This adaptation requires: reduced friction increased relevance more intuitive interactions deeper integration with users' existing digital content habits Operators who embrace this approach will gain a stronger advantage in attracting and keeping users amidst growing competition.

(AsiaGameHub) - The company has introduced its Superbet sportsbook and igaming offerings, managed by a local team. Greece.- Super Technologies, a global gambling group headquartered in Romania (previously known as Superbet Group), has debuted its Superbet brand in the Greek market. Both its igaming and sportsbook services have been launched via a local operations team. The firm noted that Greece is a primary target for its growth plans across Central and Southern Europe. This expansion comes after its acquisition of MaxBet Online, aimed at bolstering its Romanian operations. Adam Lamentowicz, the Chief Commercial Officer for Central and Eastern Europe, characterized Greece as a “mature and flourishing market,” stating that this debut is “more than just a standard market entry.” Lamentowicz remarked, “This represents a long-term pledge to develop the nation’s most captivating entertainment environment and unite individuals through the thrill and collective enthusiasm for sports.” John Kalamvokis, General Manager for Superbet Greece, further commented: “We are beginning the opening chapter of what will be a successful journey, driven by significant collaborations and community-focused initiatives.” The Greek platform for Superbet will include a sportsbook for tennis, basketball, and football, providing live and pre-match wagering. The organization emphasized its adherence to regional laws and customized service, providing native experiences for both mobile and desktop users. There are approximately 20 licensed operators in Greece, where Stoiximan (owned by OPAP) controls nearly 50% of the online sports wagering sector. Additionally, Allwyn recently finalized its merger with OPAP, establishing itself as the second-largest publicly traded lottery firm globally following its Greek stock exchange listing.

(AsiaGameHub) - LiveScore Group has revealed that its betting brand is expanding beyond the UK for the first time. South Africa.- LiveScore Group has confirmed the launch of the Virgin Bet brand in South Africa. This move represents the brand's inaugural international expansion and serves as the initial phase of its global growth initiative. Virgin Bet has been active in the UK wagering sector since 2019. According to LiveScore, South Africa was selected for this expansion due to the nation's vibrant sports culture and the increasing need for regulated betting options. The group already maintains a presence in Africa through its LiveScore Bet brand in Nigeria. The operator intends to provide an extensive selection of betting markets, along with promotional incentives and perks associated with the wider Virgin brand. In the UK, Virgin Bet has utilized sponsorships extensively, including collaborations with TNT Sports for UEFA tournaments and title sponsorships for prominent horse racing events. The company has emphasized responsible gambling as a fundamental aspect of its South African debut. The virginbet.co.za website features various safeguards, such as self-exclusion options, time-outs, and deposit limits, in addition to rigorous age verification protocols. This emphasis may prove vital as the government increases its oversight of the industry. Data from the National Gambling Board indicates that 66 percent of South African adults currently engage in online betting, a significant increase from 30 percent in 2017. Furthermore, the government has suggested increasing the tax on online gambling revenue to 20 percent. The local management team features Gail Odgers as Head of Marketing. “Entering the South African market is a significant milestone for us,” stated Odgers. “At Virgin Bet, we are committed to the idea that ‘A Good Bet’ involves providing exceptional customer experiences while upholding our obligations to our players and the community.” “South Africans have a profound passion for sport. Whether it involves rugby, football, or cricket, sport is central to daily life. This enthusiasm is what makes this market so compelling for us. Our objective is to responsibly elevate that experience by providing outstanding moments and rewards, while establishing a high benchmark for responsible gambling from the outset. We are dedicated to fostering trust and presenting Virgin Bet in a manner that inspires confidence among South Africans.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Several of the region’s most prominent gaming industry associations have united to establish a new trade body. Serbia.- The Balkan Gaming Federation (BGF), a newly formed entity, has been established by leading gaming industry associations across the Balkans. This new organization is designed to highlight the region's market potential on an international scale and to enhance collaboration through the alignment of strategic goals. The seven founding members of this new collective are AGOS from Serbia, AOGGAB from Bulgaria, HUPIS from Croatia, ROMSLOT from Romania, GPIS from Montenegro, UPIS RS from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and MAK GEJMING from North Macedonia. These organizations formalized their agreement by signing a Memorandum of Cooperation in Belgrade. Collectively, the seven members represent a diverse range of stakeholders, encompassing both online and land-based gaming operators, as well as suppliers and manufacturers. Their collaborative efforts will focus on addressing illegal gambling within the region, promoting fair competition, facilitating the exchange of best practices, and engaging in legislative discussions. Additionally, they plan to organize joint events with the objective of attracting investment into the sector. A significant number of the BGF's founding members are also affiliated with the European Gaming and Amusement Federation (EUROMAT). The establishment of the BGF occurs at a time when various regulatory changes are being implemented across the region, with some of these changes indicating divergent approaches. For instance, Serbia has enacted legislation permitting licensed domestic operators to offer jackpots, a move intended to encourage greater participation in the regulated market.

(AsiaGameHub) - Ahead of SiGMA South America, Olga Resiga, Chief Business Development Officer at SOFTSWISS, discussed the country’s regulated market evolution over its first year. Exclusive interview.- SOFTSWISS is preparing to participate in SiGMA South America on April 6-9, in São Paulo, Brazil. Ahead of the event, Focus Gaming News spoke to Olga Resiga, chief business development officer at SOFTSWISS, about the evolution of the regulated market in Brazil over its first year and the company’s role in the region. She also discussed the significance of major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup for operators, and the main challenges they face. SOFTSWISS had a strong year in Brazil in 2025. How has the company been aiding the evolution of the newly regulated market? SOFTSWISS has played a key role in shaping Brazil’s regulated market from the early stages. The company was among the first to receive certification for its Game Aggregator, setting an early benchmark for compliance and reliability. In its first year, SOFTSWISS secured over 30 agreements, covering a significant share of Brazil’s newly regulated operator landscape. Beyond technology, the focus has also been on helping partners adapt to regulation and promoting responsible gaming as a core part of doing business. What’s your take on the first year of regulated online betting in the country? What stands out most is just how dynamic the market has been. It’s evolving quickly and doesn’t allow anyone to get too comfortable – the rules, expectations, and player behaviour are all shifting in real time. “In its first year, SOFTSWISS secured over 30 agreements, covering a significant share of Brazil’s newly regulated operator landscape.” Olga Resiga, chief business development officer at SOFTSWISS. At the same time, the growth has been quite structured, which is a positive sign. But to keep that momentum, it’s crucial for the industry, operators, and regulators to remain in constant dialogue. This collaboration is what will help the market develop sustainably – rather than becoming overregulated to the point where players are pushed back towards unlicensed options. We’re approaching a major summer season with the FIFA World Cup hosted across America. What does the tournament mean for operators’ tech requirements? A World Cup is a defining moment for the entire industry. It goes far beyond traffic spikes – operators need infrastructure that can sustain continuous, high-intensity loads, ensure fast response times, and keep payments and risk systems running flawlessly under pressure. This is where scalable architecture and proven solutions become critical, especially when handling peak concurrency across multiple markets. It’s also a global event for which companies prepare their marketing strategies well in advance. For betting operators, this means aligning technology with large-scale campaigns and user acquisition efforts. Success ultimately comes down to preparation – rigorous testing, optimised user journeys, and ensuring every system performs seamlessly when demand peaks. How can operators turn peak betting activity into longer-term retention? The real challenge begins after the final whistle. A major tournament brings a surge of new users, but the goal is to build lasting relationships with them. This requires a thoughtful approach to communication, personalisation, and product experience beyond the event itself. For the industry, it’s crucial not to lose momentum once the tournament ends. Operators that continue engaging players – through tailored offers, cross-product experiences, and consistent interaction – are the ones that successfully convert short-term activity into long-term loyalty. “A major tournament brings a surge of new users, but the goal is to build lasting relationships with them.” Olga Resiga, chief business development officer at SOFTSWISS. What role does the Chief AI Officer play in shaping SOFTSWISS’s AI-driven development going forward? AI has already been deeply embedded across SOFTSWISS’s products and operations for some time – from risk management and fraud detection to player behaviour analysis and operational efficiency. The appointment of a Chief AI Officer marks the next step in this evolution, bringing greater structure, alignment, and strategic focus to these efforts. Rather than introducing AI as a new direction, it is about scaling existing capabilities and ensuring they deliver consistent, measurable impact across the business. At the same time, there is a strong emphasis on governance, transparency, and accountability – ensuring that AI systems are not only effective but also controlled and aligned with business goals. Ultimately, AI is not an add-on but a foundational layer of how SOFTSWISS operates, builds products, and continues to scale. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - The Conferenza Unificata is currently reviewing the final details for the much-anticipated reform of Italy's land-based gaming regulations. Italy.- The Council of Ministers is anticipated to release the final draft of its legislative decree concerning land-based gambling in Italy on April 10, following years of discussions. The Conferenza Unificata, an institution representing Italy's 20 regions and 110 municipalities, is presently examining the last concessions. Last year saw a restructuring of the online gambling framework in Italy, with a new licensing process concluded in November. The upcoming land-based gaming reforms will introduce a more unified regulatory framework for the sector, replacing the current fragmented approach. These reforms will include stricter regulations on venue operating hours and minimum distance requirements. Under the new concession model for land-based gambling activities, gaming machine operations will require a minimum bid of €25 million for packages that include 4,000 AWPs and 900 VLTs. Retail betting shops will have the option to apply for bundles of 25 licenses, each priced at €60,000, with a base bid of €1.5 million. Bingo hall licenses will have a starting bid of €350,000 per venue. Licensed operators will be required to adhere to a certification system, and venues must be situated at least 100 meters away from sensitive locations, such as schools. Oversight will be enhanced through a permanent committee dedicated to monitoring problem gambling. Additionally, tighter anti-money laundering controls will be implemented, overseen by the regulator, the Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM). The reforms have experienced delays due to negotiations with regional and municipal authorities regarding the distribution of tax revenue. Agreements have been reached to provide regions with an initial €80 million through a revenue-sharing arrangement stipulated by the 2026 Budget Law. The protracted negotiation process has led to temporary extensions for current gaming, betting, and bingo concessions. The hope is that the reforms will be officially approved by August 29, bringing this period of extensions to an end. According to the local industry news outlet Agipro, gaming machine tax revenue decreased by €250 million in 2025. This decline has raised concerns that the delays in drafting the reforms may be contributing to the growth of the unlicensed market, which is now estimated to be worth €30–35 billion across both retail and online channels. In parallel, the communication watchdog Agcom has accepted proposed recommendations to establish a formal framework for responsible gambling messages. The agency now intends to initiate a one-month public consultation on the proposed guidelines for how operators should present responsible gambling messages to the public.

(AsiaGameHub) - The NCAA had applied for an emergency temporary restraining order to prevent the betting operator from utilizing its trademarks. US.- A federal judge has turned down the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) attempt to prevent DraftKings from using registered trademarks connected to its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. The NCAA had lodged a complaint in an Indianapolis federal court seeking an emergency temporary restraining order to bar the company from using the terms March Madness, Final Four, Elite Eight, and Sweet Sixteen. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt decided that the NCAA did not demonstrate that the platform’s use of the terms would lead to irreparable harm. However, she remarked: “With further discovery the NCAA may be able to show it is entitled to a preliminary or permanent injunction, and those claims remain pending.” DraftKings maintained that the terms were “the universally recognised names for the tournaments and their rounds, used by millions of college basketball fans, journalists, and participants in the sports-betting ecosystem. They are the same words used by other online sportsbooks, who have not been singled out by the NCAA’s fevered complaint.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Press release.- Soft2Bet has unveiled MEGA Islands, the newest component of its MEGA Suite, developed to enhance player retention throughout its platform. This innovative engine incorporates a continuous progression layer that persists between gaming sessions, providing players with a consistent incentive to return via island construction, resource gathering, and advancement. Initially featured in Soft2Bet’s recent Lodur launch, the MEGA Islands system is founded on a continuous progression layer that extends across multiple sessions.

Furthermore, MEGA Islands incorporates plundering mechanics, establishing an alternative route within the experience. Players have the option to raid islands to acquire extra resources and further develop their own, thereby maintaining an active progression cycle as they move forward. Lacking a definitive conclusion, the engine aims to foster recurring engagement via a straightforward cycle of construction, acquisition, and advancement. Yoel Zuckerberg, CPO at Soft2Bet, commented: “MEGA Islands is engineered to ensure retention feels organic by offering players a progression journey they are eager to revisit. When players have the ability to construct their personal island, gather resources, and unlock enhancements through plundering, every session integrates into a more extensive experience.
