(AsiaGameHub) –   The Australian Labor Party’s proposed advertising reforms in Australia are facing scrutiny over their effectiveness, with politicians questioning the feasibility of plans aimed at curbing gambling advertisements on social media.

The current proposals would require streaming and social media platforms, search engines, and websites featuring wagering content to implement a user sign-in process, verify users are over 18, and offer an opt-out option for gambling content. However, these measures are now at risk of being abandoned due to claims that they are ‘unworkable’.

This ‘triple lock’ system is intended to prevent children from being exposed to gambling advertisements and to allow adults to avoid such content if they choose.

Nevertheless, politicians have pointed out that in numerous instances, adults and children share the same accounts on platforms like Spotify and YouTube.

Furthermore, content such as podcasts often includes pre-recorded advertisements, making it difficu…

(AsiaGameHub) –   In the lead-up to the operator’s 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM), Genting Singapore shared an update on the transformation of its Singapore resort, as well as its ongoing close monitoring of global economic headwinds driven by the Iran conflict.

Most recently, the company renewed its Resorts World Sentosa license in November 2024, marking a shorter-than-standard renewal extension; typical renewal processes usually take three years. The firm has launched what it calls RWS 2.0, a $5 billion initiative to renovate the casino.

When addressing questions about this project, Genting Singapore explained that it pursued the initiative amid the post-pandemic shifting landscape and Singapore’s evolving tourism strategy.

Updating investors, the company said: “The Group has advanced its RWS 2.0 transformation in line with Singapore’s tourism strategy and maintained close communication with relevant authorities. The Board continues to supervise management’s implemen…

(AsiaGameHub) –   More than a year after LiveScore Group chose to exit the Netherlands, the operator seems to be reaping rewards from its updated European strategy as it moves closer to profitability. 

The group— which runs LiveScore Media, LiveScore Bet, and Virgin Bet— pulled out of the Netherlands in November 2024 following the government’s announcement of a tax increase to 37.8% by January 2026. At the time, Sam Sadi, CEO of LiveScore Group, stated that this decision, combined with stricter advertising guidelines, made the market no longer commercially viable.

This choice contributed to a reduction in operating losses up to March 2025, which nearly halved to £26.7m compared to the £50.7m reported in the 2024 financial year.

The improved performance was driven by the strong results of LiveScore’s UK operations, where turnover rose from £139.2m to £175.6m. This offset revenue losses in LiveScore’s European operations— almost enti…

(AsiaGameHub) –   Officials in the African country of Eswatini are rushing to secure an alternative court venue, as the scale of the illegal gambling syndicate uncovered in the nation far exceeded initial expectations.

Over the past month, the Royal Eswatini Police Service has arrested 146 foreign nationals, who stand accused of operating both an online gambling network and a fraudulent scheme.

However, authorities are now being pushed to find a new location for the legal proceedings, after preliminary hearings confirmed the Mbabane Magistrates’ Court does not have enough space. Per reports from the Times of Eswatini, supporters of the accused had to wait outside the building, which prompted the lead defense counsel to ask if an alternative venue would be arranged.

Principal Magistrate Fikile Nhlabatsi, who is presiding over the proceedings, proposed moving the trial to another higher-capacity courtroom elsewhere in Eswatini. She also put forward a suggestion that male and female defendants be b…
