‘The Boys’ Mencapai Titik Belok Penting — Dan Menyediakan Spinoff Seterusnya

‘The Boys’ Mencapai Titik Belok Penting — Dan Menyediakan Spinoff Seterusnya

Mei 6, 2026
Amazon Prime Video(SeaPRwire) - Percaya atau tidak, kita hampir selesai dengan The Boys sepenuhnya. Hanya tinggal dua episod lagi, dan Amazon sudah bersiap sedia untuk mengeluarkan episod akhir lebih awal beberapa jam di pawagam. Tetapi hanya kerana The Boys akan berakhir, bukan bermakna alam semesta The Boys akan ke mana-mana; terdapat beberapa siri terbitan sampingan yang sedang dibangunkan, dengan showrunner Eric Kripke menyatakan beliau sedang memikirkan lebih banyak lagi.Dalam episod terbaru The Boys, siri terbitan sampingan seterusnya menjadi tumpuan utama apabila cerita menunjukkan akhir kepada watak-watak yang akan kita temui beberapa dekad sebelum ini pada tahun ini. Ia adalah detik penting dalam plot — tetapi ia juga merupakan persediaan yang jelas untuk apa yang akan datang.Amaran! Spoiler untuk The Boys Musim 5 Episod 6!Golden Geisha tidak mahu keabadian, membuatkan Kimiko menyedari beliau merasakan perkara yang sama. | Amazon Prime Video The Boys Musim 5 Episod 6, “Though the Heavens Fall” bermula dengan perlumbaan untuk mencari V1, versi asal Compound V yang pada dasarnya memberikan keabadian, yang mana Soldier Boy masih kelihatan hebat pada usia 100-an. Wira kita kini tahu peluang terbaik mereka untuk mendapatkan V1 adalah dengan menjejaki Bombsight, yang membawa aksi ke rumah persaraan Vought di mana Supes yang semakin tua pergi untuk menjalani Tahun Keemasan mereka. Bombsight mungkin telah diberikan V1, tetapi teman wanitanya yang lama, Golden Geisha, tidak, jadi dia menyimpan sampel supaya mereka dapat bersama selamanya.Ia adalah idea yang hebat, tetapi Golden Geisha tidak mahu hidup selamanya — sesuatu yang Kimiko kaitkan, yang menjadi masalah memandangkan mereka melakukan semua ini dengan harapan bahawa dia dapat bertahan daripada virus Supe dengannya. Semuanya membawa kepada konfrontasi antara Soldier Boy dan Bombsight, kedua-duanya adalah produk V1, semasa mereka membincangkan kebaikan dan keburukan keabadian. Akhirnya, Soldier Boy membuat tawaran: jika Bombsight menyerahkan sampel V1nya, dia akan menggunakan kuasa letupan nuklearnya untuk menghilangkan keabadiannya, membolehkannya menua bersama kekasihnya.Bombsight adalah kunci kepada Homelander mendapatkan V1 — dan watak utama dalam Vought Rising. | Amazon Prime Video Tetapi setelah Soldier Boy mempunyai V1, ada isu yang lebih besar — kepada siapa dia memberikannya? Jawapannya, malangnya, bergantung kepada watak yang tiada di sana: Clara Vought, yang pernah menjalin hubungan romantis dengan Soldier Boy dan Homelander. (Ya, terdapat teori peminat bahawa Clara adalah ibu sebenar Homelander. Ia rumit.) Homelander tahu bahawa Soldier Boy membencinya, tetapi Episod 5 membuktikan bahawa walaupun begitu, masih ada ikatan bapa-anak yang aneh. Sekali lagi, ikatan emosi Soldier Boy menguasai dirinya, dan dia memberikan V1 kepada Homelander kerana itulah yang Clara mahu dia lakukan.Ini mungkin episod The Boys, tetapi tiga watak paling penting dalam titik plot penting ini — Bombsight, Soldier Boy, dan Clara Vought — semuanya adalah ahli pelakon utama dalam Vought Rising, siri terbitan sampingan prekuel yang sepatutnya mengikuti musim akhir The Boys. Pasti, keputusan yang mengubah permainan ini sebenarnya tidak melibatkan ramai watak dari The Boys sama sekali, tetapi mungkin itulah yang diperlukan oleh francais ini untuk berkembang.The Boys Musim 5 kini distrim di Prime Video.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Dave Filoni Baru Saja Mengumumkan Peraturan Kanon Star Wars Baru Mengenai Vader

Dave Filoni Baru Saja Mengumumkan Peraturan Kanon Star Wars Baru Mengenai Vader

Mei 6, 2026
Lucasfilm(SeaPRwire) - Anakin Skywalker adalah protagonis utama dari seluruh saga Star Wars, Orang Terpilih yang dirancang untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara kebaikan dan kejahatan. Hampir setiap cerita Star Wars kembali pada tokoh ini dalam beberapa cara, berusaha memperumit asal muasalnya atau menekankan statusnya sebagai “Space Jesus”. Tetapi bagaimana dengan alter ego jahatnya, Darth Vader? Menurut presiden Lucasfilm, Dave Filoni, kedua sisi karakter ini bekerja sama membentuk “rangkaian tulang belakang” (backbone) dari saga Star Wars — namun Anakin dan Vader digunakan dengan cara yang sangat berbeda. Menurut beberapa karya kanonik, Sang Lord Sith ini hampir menyerupai persona alternatif bagi Anakin. Ketika ia berubah menjadi Vader, identitas aslinya hampir tidak dapat dipulihkan. Ini pada dasarnya satu-satunya cara baginya untuk menjalankan tugasnya kepada Kaisar Palpatine tanpa benar-benar kehilangan akal. Pembagian tersebut telah lama menjadi aturan tak tertulis dalam dualitas antara Anakin dan Vader, tetapi baru jelas saat Vader muncul dalam episode minggu ini dari Maul – Shadow Lord.Walaupun mereka berbagi badan, Darth Vader “bukan Anakin,” dan Anakin bukanlah Vader. | LucasfilmKebanyakan cerita Star Wars pasca-prekwel yang menggunakan Vader melakukannya dengan cara yang sama. Ia pada dasarnya adalah bogeyman, roh tak bersuara yang muncul dari bayangan untuk membinasakan sekelompok orang lalu menghilang kembali. Ia telah menghancurkan sekumpulan pemberontak di Rogue One. Ia menakuti Inquisitor-nya sendiri di Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ia bermain-main dengan murid lama-nya, Ahsoka Tano, di Rebels. Dan ia adalah kekuatan tak terhentikan yang sama di Maul, menghantam bangunan runtuh dan terjal hutan sunyi untuk membunuh siapa pun yang gila-gilaan menyalakan pedang cahaya melawannya.Selain nafas ikoniknya, Vader tidak mengeluarkan suara apa pun. Itu karena ia telah menyembunyikan segala jejak kepribadian dalam upayanya menahan trauma-nya.“Ia bukan Anakin,” Filoni menjelaskan dalam acara terbaru yang merayakan penutupan Maul. “Ia tidak menyadarinya. Ia tidak bisa. Segal sesuatu yang mengingatkannya pada Anakin, ia akan menghancurkannya. Ketika ia melihat seorang Jedi, ia akan menghancurkan Jedi itu, karena Jedi akan mengingatkannya secara sadar atau tidak sadar bahwa ia telah mendustakan semua teman-temannya dan segalanya yang dikenalnya serta kehidupan yang dibesarkannya... demi sesuatu yang sia-sia.”Bahkan jika Maul memberikan wawasan baru tentang kehidupan Vader, ia masih merupakan Sang Lord Sith yang tidak pernah kalah. | LucasfilmMenurut Filoni, Anakin “terjebak” di dalam Vader, “dan Darth Vader tidak akan membiarkannya muncul.” Yang menggantikan Anakin pada dasarnya adalah kekosongan, terutama pada tahun-tahun langsung setelah transisinya yang menyakitkan di Revenge of the Sith. Karena Maul berlangsung hanya setahun setelah Anakin menjadi Vader, versi villain ini mungkin merupakan bentuk paling kejam dan paling “tidak manusiawi” dari karakternya. “Kuncinya bukanlah memberinya karakter,” Filoni menjelaskan. “Ini mirip rasa yang Anda dapatkan di Rogue One ketika ia turun lorong. Ia tidak bicara dengan para pria itu. Ia akan menghancurkan mereka. Ia memiliki satu misi, dan segala kerinduan, kemarahan, dan kebenciannya terkandung dalam setiap tendangan yang dilakukannya. Itulah cara hal itu diselesaikan.”Filoni juga berhati-hati tidak menggunakan Vader terlalu banyak karena arka karakternya sudah ditetapkan oleh pencipta Star Wars, George Lucas. “Ia adalah karakter yang kuat,” Filoni melanjutkan. “Ini adalah karakter George. Ini adalah tulang punggung seluruhnya, dan Anda tidak ingin melakukan sesuatu yang mengganggu hal itu.”Namun demikian, cerita-cerita seperti Obi-Wan dan Rebels tetap mendapatkan kebebasan kreatif dalam evolusi Vader. Ia mungkin merupakan alat tumpul di Maul, tetapi kita tetap melihat versi-versi berbeda dari villain ini saat ia berkembang dan berkembang menjadi musuh yang lebih cerdas. Selama cerita Star Wars yang lebih baru tidak mengaburkan hasil emosional dari Return, maka Vader tetap layak dimanfaatkan. Idealnya, penambahan informasi tentang Vader hanya akan mendalamkan pemahaman kita tentang karakter yang begitu misterius ini — selama, seperti Maul, sutradara mengikuti aturan tak tertulis itu.Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord tersedia untuk streaming di Disney+.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Amerika Syarikat mengecam hebat ‘sekutu kaya NATO’ sebagai inkubator keganasan

Amerika Syarikat mengecam hebat ‘sekutu kaya NATO’ sebagai inkubator keganasan

Mei 6, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Strategi antikeganasan negara baru Presiden Trump menuduh EU membiarkan kumpulan yang bermusuhan "mengeksploitasi sempadan terbuka dan ideal globalisasi yang berkaitan" Presiden Donald Trump telah menandatangani strategi antikeganasan negara AS yang baru yang menggambarkan Eropah Barat sebagai sasaran dan "inkubator ancaman pengganas," sambil turut menyoroti kartel dadah dan pelampang sayap kiri yang ganas sebagai bahaya utama kepada Amerika. Dokumen 16 muka surat itu, yang dikeluarkan oleh Rumah Putih pada hari Rabu, menyatakan dasar antikeganasan Washington akan dipandu oleh prinsip "America First," "akal sihat," dan "Peace through Strength". Strategi itu menyenaraikan tiga kategori utama ancaman pengganas yang dihadapi AS: "narcoterrorists dan geng transnasional," "pengganas Islamis legasi," dan "pelampang sayap kiri yang ganas, termasuk anarkis dan anti-fasis." Bahagian berasingan dikhaskan untuk "sekutu NATO yang kaya" yang didakwa telah menjadikan Eropah sebagai persekitaran yang permisif bagi "budaya asing" yang merancang serangan ke atas orang Eropah dan Amerika. "Dunia lebih selamat apabila Eropah kuat, tetapi Eropah sangat terancam dan merupakan sasaran pengganas serta inkubator ancaman pengganas," dokumen itu menyatakan. "Adalah tidak boleh diterima bahawa sekutu NATO yang kaya boleh berfungsi sebagai hab kewangan, logistik, dan pengambilan anggota untuk pengganas." Bahasa kasar itu menggema kritikan serupa dalam Strategi Keselamatan Negara Trump, yang dikeluarkan pada bulan Disember, yang mengkritik arah politik dan budaya EU, dan memberi amaran tentang "pemadaman tamadun." Pada masa itu, presiden AS berhujah bahawa Eropah sedang "memusnahkan dirinya sendiri" dengan dasar imigresen yang "bencana." Selain daripada Eropah, strategi antikeganasan itu menyatakan AS akan meneruskan kempen ketenteraan dan penguatkuasaan undang-undang terhadap kartel dan geng transnasional yang ditetapkan sebagai organisasi pengganas asing. Dokumen itu juga mengenal pasti Iran sebagai bahaya Timur Tengah yang terbesar kepada AS, menyatakan bahawa operasi seperti Midnight Hammer dan Epic Fury akan berterusan sehingga Tehran "tidak lagi menjadi ancaman" kepada Washington.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Adakah Bullseye Akan Memimpin Thunderbolts? Wilson Bethel Mendedahkan Masa Depannya di MCU

Adakah Bullseye Akan Memimpin Thunderbolts? Wilson Bethel Mendedahkan Masa Depannya di MCU

Mei 6, 2026
Marvel Studios(SeaPRwire) - Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) mungkin dengan senang hati telah mengorbankan nyawanya untuk menebus segala dosanya dalam musim terbaharu Daredevil: Born Again. Selepas berjaya membunuh Vanessa Fisk (Ayelet Zuror), vigilante yang dikenali sebagai Benjamin Poindexter ini sudah bersedia untuk bersara — dan dia hampir melakukannya beberapa kali dalam Musim 2. Hakikat bahawa dia masih hidup untuk terus berjuang adalah satu kejutan, tetapi Daredevil mungkin sedang menyediakan babak kedua yang jauh lebih menarik untuk watak penjahat ini.Amaran spoiler untuk Daredevil: Born Again.Pertarungan yang lama dinanti-nantikan antara Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) dan Datuk Bandar Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) berakhir tanpa kepuasan bagi kedua-dua pihak. Selepas mendedahkan identitinya sebagai Man Without Fear, Daredevil, Matt dipenjarakan atas jenayahnya. Fisk juga dibuang dari bandar, meninggalkan New York tanpa pelindung paling hebat dan pemimpinnya yang paling obsesif. Hanya Poindexter yang kelihatan berpuas hati dengan keadaan tersebut: pada penghujung episod akhir Musim 2, dia dilihat meninggalkan bandar bersama Mr. Charles (Matthew Lillard), seorang ejen CIA yang mencurigakan dengan minat terhadap individu yang mempunyai kuasa luar biasa.Mr. Charles membawa Bullseye ke tempat yang tidak diketahui pada penghujung Born Again Musim 2. | Marvel StudiosSeperti yang kita pelajari dalam episod sebelum ini, Mr. Charles bekerja secara langsung di bawah pengarah CIA, Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) dan telah merekrut wira — seperti Luke Cage lakonan Mike Colter — untuk misi rahsia di luar negara. Bullseye berkemungkinan besar akan menjadi projek seterusnya, memandangkan Luke kembali ke pangkuan keluarganya dalam episod akhir Born Again. Namun, adakah peluang untuk Bullseye memimpin pasukan tugas rahsianya sendiri, bukannya menjadi anti-wira upahan? Sebagai contoh, jelmaan baharu Thunderbolts?“Saya boleh katakan bahawa saya sangat ingin melakukan sesuatu seperti itu,” kata Bethel kepada Inverse. “Jadi, teruskan berharap. Saya juga akan terus berharap. Mari kita lihat apa yang akan berlaku.”Bullseye pernah menjadi ahli Thunderbolts sebelum ini, walaupun bukan atas kerelaannya sendiri. Dalam komik, dia menyertai pasukan itu semasa peristiwa Civil War, tetapi tidak begitu berminat dengan perjuangan mereka menentang wira seperti Spider-Man. Dia juga bukan seorang pemain pasukan yang baik: dorongan untuk membunuh menjadikannya orang terakhir yang boleh dipercayai oleh rakan sepasukannya. Dia terkenal kerana dirantai di dalam sel di antara misi untuk memberikan ketenangan fikiran kepada ahli Thunderbolts yang lain.Walau bagaimanapun, versi Bullseye yang kita lihat dalam Marvel’s Cinematic Universe jauh lebih tenang dan, secara ironinya, lebih stabil dari segi psikologi berbanding versi komiknya. Walaupun dia lebih baik bekerja sendirian, dia bekerjasama dengan berkesan bersama Daredevil apabila kepentingan mereka selari. Mungkin itu petanda bahawa dia boleh bekerjasama dengan orang lain dengan lebih baik berbanding Bullseye dalam komik. Bethel pastinya ingin mengetahui perkara itu — tetapi Daredevil: Born Again perlu terlebih dahulu mengatasi keengganannya terhadap MCU yang lebih luas sebelum Bullseye boleh menyertai pasukan lain.Bullseye membuktikan dia boleh menjadi pemain pasukan musim ini. Mungkinkah kerjasama sebenar akan menyusul? | Marvel StudiosMusim Daredevil ini boleh dikatakan mempunyai kesan terbesar terhadap francais ini dan wira-wira lain yang berpangkalan di New York. Ia juga berlaku selepas peristiwa Thunderbolts, yang menyebabkan Bandar Raya New York mengalami satu lagi peristiwa malapetaka. Namun, Born Again Musim 2 tidak terasa seperti berkongsi bandar yang sama dengan Thunderbolts atau mana-mana filem Marvel yang lain. Menurut Bethel, itulah yang disukai oleh showrunner Dario Scardapane.“Dario banyak bercakap tentang bagaimana, walaupun kita secara teknikalnya adalah sebahagian daripada MCU yang lebih besar sekarang, dunia peringkat jalanan ini masih menduduki sudutnya sendiri dalam ekosistem tersebut,” jelas Bethel. “Saya rasa itu sangat memberi manfaat kepada rancangan ini semasa ia terus berkembang.”Namun, Bethel mengakui bahawa ia akan menjadi “sangat menyeronokkan untuk diserap ke dalam dunia yang lebih besar” pada satu ketika nanti. Keputusan Bullseye untuk meninggalkan New York bersama Mr. Charles membuka pelbagai kemungkinan untuk wataknya, jadi Bethel sanggup membiarkan perkara itu tergantung dengan jawapan “Kita lihat nanti.”Daredevil: Born Again sedang distrim di Disney+.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

‘The Boys’ Finale Siri Akan Mencapai Kejadian Bersejarah Pertama untuk Francais

‘The Boys’ Finale Siri Akan Mencapai Kejadian Bersejarah Pertama untuk Francais

Mei 6, 2026
Amazon Prime Video(SeaPRwire) - Pada tahun 2010-an, trend besar dalam TV adalah menganggap medium ini seperti satu filem panjang. Istilah “10-jam filem” menjadi meluas, kerana model binge streaming menyebabkan lebih ramai penonton menonton episod demi episod dengan cepat, walaupun mereka sepatutnya tidur. Ini telah berubah dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini apabila platform streaming perlahan-lahan membawa kembali keluaran mingguan, tetapi kini terdapat cara baru TV dirawat seperti filem: keluaran teater untuk episod penting. Sejak episod terpilih Game of Thrones dikeluarkan di IMAX, “acara peminat” dan keluaran teater rancangan TV telah menjadi semakin berleluasa, yang terbaru dengan penutup siri Stranger Things. Kini, satu lagi siri hits akan ke pawagam untuk episod penutupnya, dan yang ini mempunyai twist yang unik. The Boys Season 5 akan tamat di pawagam. | Amazon Prime VideoThe Boys Season 5 telah menggunakan semua cara untuk musim penutup siri superhero yang ekstrem ini. Minggu lepas, kita mendapat episod antologi yang menggabungkan senarai cameo yang panjang seperti lengan anda dengan pandangan yang menyayat hati tentang bagaimana usaha baru Homelander untuk keabadian mempengaruhi iman Firecracker, dan masih ada dua episod lagi selepas minggu ini. Jika anda mencari pengalaman yang lebih mendalam, anda boleh keluar dan menonton penutup siri di pawagam. Tetapi kerana ini adalah The Boys, ia tidak boleh menjadi masa biasa di pawagam. Sebaliknya, Amazon telah mengumumkan bahawa penutup ini akan ditayangkan dalam 4DX, pengalaman yang melibatkan kerusi bergerak, tiupan udara, lampu strobe, semburan air, dan juga bau. Anda tidak perlu membayar tiket, kerana tempat duduk boleh didapati dengan pembelian voucher konsesi, yang anda boleh gunakan untuk popcorn yang akhirnya akan berselerak di lantai semasa anda dihamburkan di kerusi anda. Cuma cuba jangan fikir terlalu dalam tentang bagaimana siri yang berdarah dan visceral seperti The Boys mungkin menggunakan bau dan cecair.Jika anda mudah mengalami mabuk gerakan dan tertanya-tanya sama ada anda benar-benar perlu “rasa ia dalam 4DX”, anda perlu tahu terdapat kelebihan lain untuk tayangan ini selain hanya mengetahui bau Homelander. Tayangan teater ini dijadualkan pada 19 Mei, manakala penutup siri akan disiarkan secara streaming pada 20 Mei. Ini bermakna peminat yang menghadiri tayangan ini akan melihat bagaimana The Boys tamat sebelum sesiapa lain, dan spoiler mungkin meluas selama berjam-jam sebelum episod itu tersedia di rumah anda.Jadi jika anda telah menunggu selama ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana konfrontasi antara Billy Butcher dan Homelander akan tamat akhirnya, anda mungkin mahu sama ada mengasingkan diri atau mencari tempat duduk yang dipertingkatkan secara kinetik di pawagam tempatan anda. Cuma ingat untuk memegang minuman anda dengan ketat.The Boys Season 5 sedang disiarkan secara streaming di Amazon Prime Video.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

AS serang kapal tangki Iran selepas ultimatum Trump

AS serang kapal tangki Iran selepas ultimatum Trump

Mei 6, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden AS telah memerintahkan untuk meneruskan serangan jika Tehran tidak bersetuju Angkatan Bersenjata Amerika Syarikat telah menembak dan melumpuhkan sebuah tanker minyak yang dikenali sebagai M/T Hasna, berasingan Iran, di Teluk Oman selepas Presiden Donald Trump memperbolehkan untuk meneruskan kemungkinan pemberontakan jika Tehran tidak bersetuju untuk mengakhiri perang atas syarat-syarat Washington. Pertahanan Tengah Barat Laut AS berkata, tanker yang tidak dimuatkan barangan tersebut cuba melayari ke arah pelabuhan Iran pada hari Rabu dengan melanggar blokade laut Washington yang masih berkesinambungan walaupun presiden telah membuat keputusan tiba-tiba pada hari sebelumnya untuk menggantung Project Freedom, operasi militer untuk memindahkan kapal-kapal melalui Selat Hormuz. Jenama AS telah memberi amaran berganda sebelum F/A-18 Super Hornet dilancarkan dari USS Abraham Lincoln menembak beberapa peluru 20mm ke arah rudder kapal, mencegah ia untuk terus menuju Iran, menurut CENTCOM. Tembakan itu datang segera selepas Trump menerbitkan ultimatum terbaru kepada Tehran, memperingatkan bahawa “Epic Fury yang sudah terkenal” akan berakhir hanya jika Iran menerima syarat-syarat yang ia klaim telah disepakati. “Jika mereka tidak bersetuju, serangan akan bermula, dan malangnya, pada tahap dan intensiti yang jauh lebih tinggi daripada sebelumnya,” katanya pada Truth Social. Trump tetap optimis, memberitahu PBS kemudian pada hari Rabu ini bahawa ada “kemungkinan yang sangat baik” perang itu boleh berakhir sebelum perjalanannya ke China. Dia juga tambah, bagaimanapun, jika ia tidak, Amerika Syarikat akan “kembali menembak mereka sepenuhnya.” Amerika Syarikat dan Iran dilaporkan mendekati satu-satu memorandum kesepaduan, yang terdiri daripada 14 titik, yang akan mengakhiri perang dan membuka tempoh 30 hari untuk perundingan yang lebih terperinci, menurut sumber-sumber Axios. Rangka kerja yang dicadangkan dilaporkan akan termasuk moratorium Iran pada penghasilan uranium, pemeriksaan yang meningkat, pelepasan secara bertahap daripada sekatan AS, pelepasan dana Iran yang terhisap, dan penyingkiran bertahap daripada sekatan penghantaran. Seseorang dalam RT di Pakistan berkata kemajuan dalam proses perdamaian masih “sedikit perlahan,” dengan beberapa isu yang belum selesai masih dalam perbincangan. Tehran belum memberikan jawapan rasmi terhadap cadangan AS. Jurucakap Kementerian Urusan Luar Iran Esmail Baghaei berkata teks itu masih dalam semakan, menambah perbincangan memerlukan “keyakinan yang baik” dan tidak boleh melibatkan “perintah,” “palsu,” “paksaan,” atau “paksaan.” Pegawai militer Iran membawa suasana yang menentang sebelum laporan mengenai insiden tanker muncul. Brigadir Jenderal Abolfazl Shekarchi, jurucakap Angkatan Bersenjata Iran, memperingatkan bahwa jika Washington menggunakan perbincangan sebagai liputan untuk agresi yang lebih lanjut, Iran akan memberikan respons yang menentang dan akan memberikan “kekalahan yang menghinakan.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Gulf War Concerns May Delay Wynn UAE Resort Opening

Gulf War Concerns May Delay Wynn UAE Resort Opening

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Escalating hostilities in the Middle East could potentially delay the planned 2027 grand opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island, a US$5.1 billion integrated resort currently under construction in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The resort's location places it within the active conflict zone of the ongoing Gulf War. Site work experienced a brief interruption on 28 February, following military actions by US and Israeli forces against Iran, an operation referred to as Operation Epic Fury. At that time, Wynn advised its regional employees to work remotely if their respective embassies recommended it. Construction resumed in March, however, tensions continue to mount as the conflict persists. On Monday, a high-ranking UAE official reportedly informed Israel of the UAE's readiness to retaliate after Iran launched missiles and drones targeting locations within the Middle Eastern nation. The official was quoted by Israeli news outlet N12 as stating, "The Iranian regime has begun attacking us. We will strike back." War could have long term impact on tourism Wynn Al Marjan Island, situated on over 60 hectares (142 acres) with views of the Arabian Gulf, has been promoted as "the ultimate resort destination." It is set to feature "sumptuously designed rooms and suites, outstanding dining experiences, world-renowned designer boutiques and activities that include expansive poolscapes, private beach and deepwater marina." These amenities are intended to cater to Wynn's primary demographic: affluent and ultra-wealthy individuals who are already patrons of its establishments in Las Vegas and Macau. A significant development occurred last December when crews completed the topping off of the resort's 70-story hotel tower. It now appears that guests might face a waiting period before experiencing the accommodations, as Iran continues its attacks on UAE ports, airports, and commercial areas. According to Reuters, the consultancy firm Tourism Economics projects that tourism arrivals to the Middle East could decrease by as much as 38 million due to the conflict, potentially resulting in a loss of up to $56 billion. Also potentially affected is a new hotel under development in Dubai by MGM Resorts International, a competitor to Wynn. However, a source informed Bloomberg that the MGM project, which is also seeking a casino license, remains on schedule despite a downturn in visitor numbers. MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle commented during a 29 April earnings call, "The tourism business in that particular neck of the world is down to like 15%, give or take. It will take some recovery time no matter what happens here over the next couple of months. But long-term, we remain very excited."

Negara Pulau memutus hubungan dengan Mahkota British

Negara Pulau memutus hubungan dengan Mahkota British

Mei 6, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Ahli-ahli kabinet di Antigua dan Barbuda mengambil jawatan di bawah peraturan sumpah yang dikemaskini yang telah membuang rujukan kepada kerajaan Antigua dan Barbuda telah memberi sumpah ke atas kerajaan baharu di bawah perubahan peraturan konstitusi yang, bagi pertama kalinya, telah mengeluarkan kesetiaan terhadap raja British dari sumpah jawatan rasmi. Negara kepulauan berpasangan ini memperoleh kemerdekaan daripada Britain pada tahun 1981 tetapi masih mengekalkan status sebagai kerajaan konstitusional dalam Commonwealth, dengan raja British yang bertindak sebagai kepala negara. Pemberian sumpah pada hari Selasa itu berlaku selepas pindaan konstitusi yang diluluskan oleh Parlimen pada akhir tahun lalu yang telah membuang rujukan kepada Raja Charles III dan ahli-ahli kerajaan beliau daripada sumpah kesetiaan. Dalam perkataan yang dikemaskini itu, para wakil yang dipilih kini bersumpah ketaatan kepada Antigua dan Barbuda, konstitusi negara itu dan undang-undangnya. Majlis pembaharuan itu berlaku beberapa hari selepas Perdana Menteri Gaston Browne meraih kemenangan pilihan raya yang ketiga berturut-turut, memanjangkan pegangan partainya yang lebih dari setahun dalam kuasa. Pilihan raya itu dipanggil hampir dua tahun lewat daripada jadual oleh Browne untuk mendapat mandat baharu dalam ketidakpastian ekonomi global dan mengakibatkan kemenangan tanpa lawan bagi partai Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party-nya, yang telah memperoleh 15 daripada 17 kursi parlimennya. Antigua dan Barbuda masih menjadi anggota Commonwealth, dengan raja British yang masih mengekalkan jawatan sebagai kepala negara walaupun sumpah telah dikemaskini. Lima belas daripada 56 negara dalam Commonwealth masih mengiktiraf raja British sebagai raja. Barbados menjadi negara Caribbean terbaru yang menjadikan dirinya sebagai republik pada tahun 2021 manakala ia masih dalam Commonwealth. Perbincangan mengenai masa depan kerajaan juga meningkat di Britain. Satu tinjauan British Social Attitudes pada tahun 2025 mencatatkan sokongan untuk institusi itu telah jatuh kepada tahap terendah sejak rekod bermula pada tahun 1983, dengan hanya 51% yang menyokong untuk kekal.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Tasik sekolah di UK disuruh melaporkan kanak-kanak ‘rasis’ kepada polis

Tasik sekolah di UK disuruh melaporkan kanak-kanak ‘rasis’ kepada polis

Mei 6, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Pekerja penjagaan kanak-kanak Wales digesa menghubungi polis berhubung insiden kebencian yang disyaki bersifat perkauman melibatkan kanak-kanak Pekerja penjagaan kanak-kanak di Wales telah diarahkan untuk menghubungi polis terhadap kanak-kanak seawal usia tiga tahun jika mereka disyaki mempunyai tingkah laku "rkauman", menurut panduan rasmi baharu yang disokong oleh kerajaan Buruh. Dokumen itu, yang dihasilkan oleh Diversity and Anti‑Racist Professional Learning (DARPL), sebuah organisasi yang telah menerima lebih £1.3 juta ($1.7 juta) daripada kerajaan Wales, menasihatkan pekerja penjagaan kanak-kanak untuk menilai sama ada tingkah laku kanak-kanak itu boleh dianggap sebagai "jenayah kebencian" dan, jika ya, untuk menghubungi pihak berkuasa. Panduan itu terpakai kepada kanak-kanak berumur 12 tahun ke bawah, walaupun umur tanggungjawab jenayah di Wales ialah sepuluh tahun. Kakitangan diarahkan untuk merekodkan sama ada perkauman yang didakwa itu adalah "kanak-kanak kepada kanak-kanak," "dewasa kepada kanak-kanak," atau "sistemik." Pekerja juga digalakkan untuk menilai "keistimewaan kulit putih" mereka sendiri dan mengaudit mainan, buku, anak patung, poster dan juga makanan ringan untuk memastikan "sikap anti-perkauman kelihatan." Panduan itu adalah sebahagian daripada rancangan kerajaan Wales yang lebih luas untuk menjadikan Wales sebuah "negara anti-perkauman" menjelang 2030. Projek lain di bawah inisiatif itu termasuk perbelanjaan £10,000 ($13,500) untuk "mendekolonisasi" kek Wales dan muzium. Seruan untuk melaporkan kanak-kanak kecil atas "jenayah kebencian" ini berlaku di tengah-tengah kemarahan yang semakin meningkat terhadap tindakan keras kerajaan British selama bertahun-tahun terhadap kebebasan bersuara. Pengkritik, termasuk Presiden AS Donald Trump dan bilionair Elon Musk, telah menuduh Perdana Menteri Keir Starmer melakukan pencerobohan autoritarian, penapisan, dan mewujudkan "negara polis." Tahun lalu, The Times melaporkan bahawa kira-kira 12,000 rakyat Britain ditangkap setiap tahun kerana siaran media sosial yang dianggap berpotensi "menyinggung perasaan" atau mengancam. Ini termasuk beberapa tangkapan berprofil tinggi seperti penulis komedi Graham Linehan kerana menyiarkan ciapan kritikal gender tahun lalu. Sementara itu, pihak berkuasa British terus melepaskan penjenayah ganas kerana takut dilabel sebagai perkauman. Pada Februari, siasatan awam mendedahkan bahawa pekerja kesihatan mental telah melepaskan Valdo Calocane, seorang pesakit skizofrenia paranoid yang ganas, kerana kebimbangan berkaitan dengan "peningkatan jumlah lelaki muda kulit hitam dalam tahanan." Pada tahun 2023, Calocane kemudiannya menikam tiga orang hingga mati dan melanggar beberapa pejalan kaki dalam kenderaan curi. Kadar kelulusan Keir Starmer telah merosot ke tahap kedua terendah dalam sejarah moden British, dengan jurang antara ketidakpuasan hati dan kelulusan melebihi 50 mata. Parti Buruh juga kehilangan pengundi kerana kegagalan berterusan mereka untuk memerangi aliran pendatang haram ke UK, menangani kumpulan penganiaya, dan mengusir pendatang yang melakukan jenayah serius.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

10 Tahun Kemudian, Spinoff Avengers yang Tidak Dikenang Mungkin Menjadi Magnum Opus Marvel

10 Tahun Kemudian, Spinoff Avengers yang Tidak Dikenang Mungkin Menjadi Magnum Opus Marvel

Mei 6, 2026
Marvel Studios(SeaPRwire) - Bahawa Captain America: Civil War pada dasarnya hanyalah sebuah filem Avengers adalah satu perkara yang digunakan untuk memperkecilkan filem itu pada tahun 2016. Bagi peminat tegar Cap, ia juga merupakan sumber kekecewaan: Lelaki Bertopeng Bintang (Chris Evans) telah pun mengetuai Avengers dalam dua karya ensemble yang mantap, tetapi triloginya hidup dalam dunianya sendiri. Sekurang-kurangnya sehingga tiba masanya untuk menamatkannya.Tiada siapa yang dapat tahu, pada tahun 2016, bahawa Civil War sebenarnya adalah permulaan kepada pengakhiran — pengakhiran kepada keunggulan Marvel yang tiada tandingan, keharmonian keluarga Avengers, Steve Rogers sebagai watak yang benar-benar masuk akal. Ia adalah perhentian sebenar pertama dalam perjalanan ke Avengers: Infinity War dan Endgame, yang memecahbelahkan pasukan epnimnya secara tidak dapat dipulihkan dan (bergantung pada siapa anda bertanya) melakukan pembunuhan watak yang paling keji terhadap Steve. Statusnya sebagai Man Out of Time mendapat makna baharu selepas Endgame: dia tidak akan pernah mendapat peluang untuk mengetuai pengembaraan solo lain atau benar-benar menyelesaikan ceritanya di luar filem ensemble yang luas.Potensi yang belum diterokai itu adalah sebahagian daripada apa yang menjadikan Civil War terasa lebih istimewa hari ini. Pasti, Avengers sudah mula memenuhi skrin — Civil War berfungsi sebagai asal usul kuasi untuk dua wira utama — dan megalomania budak sedih Tony Stark hanya menjadikan ini terasa seperti filem Captain America yang kurang. Memandangkan apa yang menanti kita pada masa hadapan, bagaimanapun, adalah satu keajaiban bahawa sesuatu yang begitu sibuk sebenarnya terasa... agak epik.Jika mana-mana cerita Marvel perlu bercantum dengan alam semesta Avengers, ia masuk akal bahawa trilogi Cap adalah yang melakukannya. Pengarah Anthony dan Joe Russo baru sahaja membuktikan betapa mahirnya mereka dalam menceritakan kisah ensemble yang tegang dengan Captain America: The Winter Soldier, menjadikan mereka calon ideal untuk jenama filem Avengers baharu. Perbalahan gaya Whedon dalam Avengers dan Age of Ultron yang asal tidak akan memadai dengan ancaman seperti Thanos yang menunggu di sayap. Sudah tiba masanya untuk bersungguh-sungguh, dan siapa lagi yang lebih baik untuk memimpin perkara itu selain pembuat filem yang telah menyelamatkan Steve daripada pen yang memperkecilkan Whedon? (Captain America yang kita dapat dalam filem Avengersnya ialah #NotMyCap, dan tidak akan pernah menjadi!)Walau apa pun, apa yang menjadikan Civil War berjaya ialah rasa gentar yang membayangi. Avengers adalah bom masa sejak Steve pertama kali mengarahkan mereka untuk berkumpul; walaupun mereka menyelamatkan dunia dengan cukup cekap daripada pencerobohan asing, Civil War akhirnya bertanya sama ada mereka telah menjadikan dunia lebih teruk sejak itu. Penciptaan Ultron (James Spader) akan menimbulkan persoalan seperti itu, tetapi ia juga merupakan pukulan terakhir untuk pasukan yang telah lama berpecah belah.Pengenalan Sokovia Accords — dinamakan sempena bandar yang Ultron jadikan meteor — meletakkan Steve dan rakan-rakannya menentang Tony dan rasa bersalahnya yang tersalah letak. Juga, kesedihannya yang belum selesai untuk ibu bapanya. Terdapat juga pencarian Steve yang berterusan untuk sahabat zaman kanak-kanaknya, Bucky (Sebastian Stan). Terdapat Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) yang licik, seorang yang terselamat dari pembunuhan beramai-ramai Sokovia yang ingin membalas dendam keluarganya dengan memecahbelahkan Avengers. Terdapat putera Wakanda, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), yang juga ingin membalas dendam terhadap lelaki yang membunuh bapanya. Dan terdapat tentera Super Soldiers, sama seperti Steve dan Bucky, bersedia untuk membongkar dunia seperti yang mereka ketahui.Civil War adalah urusan yang sesak, tetapi ia melakukan lebih banyak untuk Avengers daripada mana-mana sekuelnya. | Marvel StudiosSangat luar biasa betapa sedikit daripada ini yang sebenarnya akan penting menjelang akhir Civil War. The Russo brothers, dengan bantuan penulis skrip Christopher Markus dan Stephen McFeely (duo yang menulis setiap filem Captain America, dan setiap filem Avengers selepas Ultron), mencampakkan segala-galanya yang mereka ada kepada pasukan yang retak ini. Ia kelihatan berlebihan, tetapi ia sebenarnya satu-satunya perkara yang membenarkan penambahan begitu ramai Avengers masa depan. Apabila Steve dan Bucky melarikan diri, Tony berjanji untuk menangkap mereka — tetapi dia tidak berpuas hati dengan tentera kecil Avengers yang sudah ada di bawah kendaliannya. Dia merekrut T’Challa dan seorang pejuang jenayah berusia 15 tahun dari Queens, Peter Parker muda (Tom Holland), ke dalam barisannya. Mereka berkhidmat dengan baik dalam pertempuran yang tidak ketara di lapangan terbang Jerman yang suram, yang jelas merupakan dorongan untuk cerita ensemble ini, tidak seperti urutan kereta api dalam Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. Sekali lagi, ia tidak masuk akal apabila difikirkan semula — tetapi pada ketika itu, selepas bertahun-tahun menunggu, melihat Black Panther dan Spider-Man akhirnya menyertai Avengers berbaloi dengan kegelisahan yang memeningkan yang membawa kepada itu.Civil War berfungsi paling baik sebagai siri momen. Sesetengah — seperti pengenalan Peter Parker, atau pergaduhan yang berlaku antara Bucky yang dicuci otak dan T’Challa di pertengahan filem — terasa seperti pemenuhan keinginan mutlak pada tahun 2016. Yang lain tidak begitu diingati, tetapi ia lebih baik daripada satu dekad kesilapan yang lebih besar yang bertambah selepas Civil War. Walaupun terdapat lebih banyak dalam saga untuk mengalihkan perhatian kita sekarang, tiada apa yang terasa hampir monumental seperti perpisahan persahabatan Steve dan Tony 10 tahun lalu. Fakta bahawa Marvel sendiri juga kembali ke masa lalu ini, semua untuk membina masa depan yang berbeza, memaksa perspektif baharu yang menarik untuk Civil War. Ia entah bagaimana terasa lebih penting sekarang — jika bukan secara naratif, maka secara nada. Endgame adalah ayunan terbesar Marvel, tetapi filem-filem yang mendahuluinya terasa lebih seperti kenyataan tesis untuk era ini, dan, secara songsang, magnum opus MCU.Captain America: Civil War sedang distrim di Disney+.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Nevada’s cannabis ban impacts state fiscal health

Nevada’s cannabis ban impacts state fiscal health

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - A new report from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Cannabis Policy Institute highlights that Nevada’s legal and regulatory separation between its cannabis industry and gaming sector is resulting in significant lost legal cannabis sales and tax revenue for the state. The study also indicates that this separation is sustaining a large illegal cannabis market. Conducted by researchers from UNLV, UC Davis, and Strategies 64, the research quantifies the economic consequences of three major regulatory barriers and advocates for policy changes to modernise the state’s approach. The findings The report estimates that Nevada’s legal cannabis retail sector experienced a loss of approximately $540 million in revenue in 2024 due to three main restrictions: Banning cannabis delivery to hotels and gaming properties: $210 million loss. A 1,500-foot setback requirement between cannabis establishments and gaming venues in populous counties: contributing to market exclusion. Prohibition on investment, leasing or operational ties between gaming licence holders and cannabis businesses: limiting business integration. These factors have created “cannabis deserts” in central tourist areas, particularly along the Las Vegas Strip, which sees nearly 30 million visitors annually and where 69% of tourists reportedly stay at Strip hotels. Recent Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data shows that 38.5 million people visited Las Vegas in 2025, marking a 7.5% year-over-year decline. Approximately 89% of visitors booked hotels, the lowest percentage in five years. The report found that visitors face inconvenient and expensive travel to licensed dispensaries, with pedestrian trips taking up to 95 minutes or taxi fares costing $30–$40, leading many to turn to illegal cannabis sources. As a result, state tax revenue from cannabis falls short by about $80 million annually. FY2024 collections of roughly $120 million could potentially rise toward $200 million if current barriers were removed. The barriers Nevada state regulations and Clark County ordinances currently prohibit delivering cannabis products to hotels and gaming-certified properties, greatly restricting access for tourists. Additionally, in counties with over 100,000 residents, cannabis businesses must be located at least 1,500 feet away from licensed gaming venues. In densely populated areas such as Las Vegas, this effectively blocks cannabis retail from prime tourist corridors. Since a 2014 Nevada Gaming Control Board memorandum, gaming regulators have enforced a policy preventing gaming licensees from investing in, leasing space to, or consuming cannabis on-site, citing concerns over regulatory compliance and reputational risks. Since then, much has changed—federal authorities have generally tolerated state-compliant cannabis operations, and jurisdictions like New Jersey and Canadian municipalities now allow closer integrations between cannabis and gaming. The reforms Economically, the report describes these regulations as costly “transaction costs,” leading to revenue “leakage” from the legal to illicit markets. They reduce both cannabis sales and related spending on hospitality and entertainment within casinos and resorts. The report calls for two key reforms: first, allowing cannabis delivery to hotels, short-term rentals, and gaming-licensed properties by revising cannabis compliance rules and Clark County codes. It also recommends removing the 1,500-foot setback requirement in populous counties and updating NGCB guidance to permit gaming operators to lease space to cannabis retailers and consumption lounges, including designated on-site consumption areas. Survey data from 2025 showed that 70% of US adults support allowing cannabis consumption spaces in casinos, and 40% would be more likely to visit casinos if cannabis was available.

Sepanyol menggesa EU menentang sekatan Trump

Sepanyol menggesa EU menentang sekatan Trump

Mei 6, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Perdana Menteri Pedro Sanchez telah menyeru Brussels untuk melindungi Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa daripada tekanan AS berkenaan kes jenayah perang terhadap Israel Kesatuan Eropah harus melindungi Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa daripada sekatan AS yang berkaitan dengan kesnya terhadap jenayah perang yang didakwa dilakukan oleh Israel di Gaza, kata Perdana Menteri Sepanyol Pedro Sanchez. Pada 2024, ICC mengeluarkan waran tangkap untuk Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu dan bekas Menteri Pertahanan Yoav Gallant berhubung kekejaman yang didakwa terhadap rakyat Palestin di wilayah tersebut oleh Angkatan Pertahanan Israel. Bidang kuasa ICC kini diiktiraf oleh 125 buah negara. Walau bagaimanapun, AS dan Israel bukan penandatangan Statut Rom. Dalam satu catatan di X pada Rabu, Sanchez menulis bahawa "mengenakan sekatan terhadap mereka yang mempertahankan keadilan antarabangsa membahayakan keseluruhan sistem hak asasi manusia." "EU tidak boleh berdiam diri menghadapi penganiayaan ini," tegas perdana menteri itu, sambil menambah bahawa beliau telah meminta Suruhanjaya Eropah untuk "mengaktifkan Statut Sekatan untuk melindungi kemerdekaan Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa dan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, serta tindakan mereka untuk menghentikan pembunuhan beramai-ramai di Gaza." Presiden AS Donald Trump pertama kali memperkenalkan sekatan terhadap ICC pada Februari 2025, menuduh mahkamah yang berpusat di Den Haag itu melakukan "tindakan tidak sah dan tidak berasas yang menyasarkan Amerika dan sekutu rapat kita Israel." Ini diikuti pada Jun dan Ogos lalu, dengan Washington menyekat lebih banyak hakim dan pendakwa ICC daripada mengakses sistem kewangan AS. Sepanyol telah berada antara pengkritik Israel yang paling lantang dalam EU. Mengulas serangan udara Israel ke atas Lubnan bulan lepas, Sanchez menggambarkan tindakan IDF sebagai "tidak boleh ditoleransi," dan menuduh Netanyahu menunjukkan "penghinaan terhadap nyawa dan undang-undang antarabangsa." Madrid juga menyeru EU untuk menggantung perjanjian perkaitan blok itu dengan Israel. Sepanyol juga mengkritik peperangan AS-Israel terhadap Iran, dengan menolak kebenaran kepada Washington untuk menggunakan pangkalan tentera bersama mereka. Sebagai balasan, Trump mengugut untuk menggantung semua perdagangan dengan Madrid. Walau bagaimanapun, Sanchez memperkukuh lagi kecamannya terhadap tindakan Washington, menyatakan pada Mac bahawa negaranya "tidak akan menjadi sekutu dalam sesuatu yang buruk untuk dunia semata-mata kerana takut tindakan balas."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

UK Gambling Reforms Expected to Have Minimal Negative Economic Impact, Study Finds

UK Gambling Reforms Expected to Have Minimal Negative Economic Impact, Study Finds

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - A recent joint study found that stricter gambling regulations in the UK would result in only a minor economic downturn, as shifts in consumer spending help offset the decline in gambling revenues. The research, conducted by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) and the University of Glasgow, assessed the broader macroeconomic effects of the UK government’s proposed 2023 white paper reforms designed to reduce gross gambling yield (GGY). The 2023 white paper anticipated an annual decrease in industry GGY ranging from £329 million to £812 million, with the focus primarily on the online gambling sector. For their modelling, the NIESR-Glasgow team applied the upper estimate of an £812 million loss to evaluate aggregate economic impacts. The study integrated three key approaches: Survey of regular gamblers: A baseline probability survey of 1,320 frequent gamblers informed the design of subsequent experiments. Stated-Preference Discrete Choice Experiment (SPDCE): Between May and June 2025, 804 gamblers were surveyed on how they would reallocate a hypothetical £50 monthly budget no longer spent on gambling across seven major spending categories. Input-Output (IO) economic modelling: Using 2022 UK Input-Output tables, researchers calculated both direct and indirect sectoral impacts resulting from changes in spending patterns. The study did not account for potential improvements in health, wellbeing, or productivity, nor did it consider supply-side benefits arising from reduced gambling-related harm—factors that could further enhance economic outcomes. Net loss amounts to just one-sixth of the white paper's projection According to their analysis, only around £134 million—approximately 16% of the total £812 million projected reduction—resulted in a net decline in UK output after factoring in redirected consumer spending. The most common spending reallocations were toward essential goods and services, including food, drink, household shopping, home and personal items, as well as increased savings or debt repayment. However, if some consumers shifted their freed funds toward unregulated or illegal gambling markets, the net economic loss would rise substantially. For instance, an 8% diversion to unlicensed platforms would increase the net loss to £189 million (23% of the gross loss), while a 27% shift would push it up to £317 million (39% of the gross loss). Online gambling—which accounts for the majority of the sector’s GGY—has relatively lower domestic economic multipliers due to offshore supply chains. Reducing the assumed multiplier for the gambling sector by just 9–10% would eliminate the net loss altogether, potentially leading to a slight overall economic gain. “We examined how people who gamble indicated they would adjust their spending if these reforms were implemented, and then modelled the wider economic implications,” said Katherine Simpson, lead researcher from the University of Glasgow. “What we discovered is that most of the money doesn’t vanish—it gets redirected elsewhere, meaning the overall economic impact remains quite limited.” Behavioural insights Beyond economic modelling, the study also explored behavioural aspects. The SPDCE participant group was younger and more likely to be employed, with a higher prevalence of problem gambling (37% scoring within the problem-gambling range compared to 8.6% in the general survey sample). Despite this, preferences for reallocating spending remained consistent regardless of gambling severity. According to figures from UK-based charity GamCare, nearly 2,000 individuals sought financial advice related to gambling issues in 2025. Regarding unlicensed gambling, 73% of online gamblers stated they would not redirect their freed funds toward unregulated operators, with only 8.5% consistently choosing that option across experimental scenarios. This follows reports from the UK Gambling Commission indicating that illegal gambling activities have become harder to monitor due to increased use of virtual private networks (VPNs). Data from Ofcom and app analytics firm Similarweb shows a spike in VPN usage beginning July 2025, stabilizing at approximately 40% above pre-July levels. Adrian Pabst, deputy director at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, stressed that there is no inherent conflict between stronger regulation and economic growth. “There is no necessary trade-off between enhanced regulation and greater economic growth. Our findings demonstrate that new gambling regulations will have a very small negative effect on the UK economy, while also offering opportunities for regular gamblers to save more or spend in other sectors.” “Industry concerns about a severe blow to economic activity are exaggerated and overlook the wider social advantages of these regulatory changes.” Kathryn EvansKathryn covers breaking news with a primary focus on EMEA and US legislation.

Strong online momentum drives Lottomatica’s steady Q1 growth despite low hold affecting betting segment

Strong online momentum drives Lottomatica’s steady Q1 growth despite low hold affecting betting segment

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Sustained momentum in Lottomatica’s online operations enabled the company to post modest GGR gains in Q1, although low hold weighed on year-on-year revenue in its betting segment. On Wednesday, Lottomatica reported results for the three months ended 31 March, showing year-on-year GGR growth of 2% to €1.25 million. Revenue rose slightly by 3% to €602 million, while adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached €236 million, up 7%. Double-digit expansion in the online division drove Lottomatica’s Q1 revenue and EBITDA growth, with online revenue hitting €264.7 million, a 10% increase. Online gains helped counterbalance stable performance in the gaming segment and a 5% dip in sports betting revenue. Sports betting revenue declined to €142.4 million from €150.4 million in the same quarter last year. This occurred despite an 11% rise in total betting volume to €12.4 million during Q1, as Lottomatica faced less favourable sports payouts compared with Q1 2025. Lottomatica chairman and CEO Guglielmo Angelozzi pointed to robust momentum across the group’s addressable markets and indicated the business is on track to reach the upper limit of its FY2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of between €940 million and €980 million. The company also anticipates returning up to €1 billion to shareholders across 2026 and 2027. Lottomatica makes Q1 market share gains Lottomatica’s share of the Italian online market in Q1 stood at 31.8%, up 1.4% from Q1 2025. It lifted its iSports market share by 0.7% to 32.5% and raised its iGaming share by 1.9% to 32.2%. The company noted the “good progression” achieved by its PlanetWin365 (PWO) brand, relaunched after the €639 million acquisition of SKS365 in April 2024. PWO’s total sports market share has recovered to 9%, matching pre-migration levels, while its iGaming market share reached 5.5% in Q1, regaining half of the share lost during the platform transition. No concerns from Lottomatica over prediction markets After gaining traction in the US, prediction markets are now drawing attention across the Atlantic, with several regulators moving to restrict them. France’s regulator, l’Autorité Nationale des Jeux, blocked operator Polymarket in 2024 and reiterated earlier this year that prediction markets are considered illegal. Polymarket has also faced restrictions in other European markets including Germany and Belgium, as well as Italy in October 2025. Lottomatica characterised prediction markets as a “non-issue”, citing their illegality in Italy and a lack of demand for the single and pre-match bets that underpin their sports offerings. During the post-Q1 investor call, Angelozzi added: “The product/consumer mismatch continues to be strong. We don’t believe there is any market space [for prediction markets].” Kyle GoldsmithKyle has been with Clarion since December 2023, joining from the world of sports journalism, subsequently becoming a LatAm-facing senior reporter with iGB.

Shadow MP Labels Lottery Corp’s 40‑Year Victoria Licence Extension a ‘Secret Deal’

Shadow MP Labels Lottery Corp’s 40‑Year Victoria Licence Extension a ‘Secret Deal’

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The Lottery Corporation has secured a landmark 40-year extension to its Victorian public lottery licence, granting it exclusive rights to operate commercial lotteries in Victoria until 30 June 2068. Under the terms of the agreement, Tattersall’s Sweeps Pty Ltd—the company’s Victorian subsidiary that has held the licence since 1954—will pay an upfront premium of AU$1.145 billion (US$830 million) to the Victorian government. The Lottery Corporation was established in 2022 following the demerger of Tabcorp’s Lotteries & Keno division. It operates under the brands The Lott and Keno. The payment is structured in two instalments: AU$250 million due on 3 July 2026 and the remaining balance of AU$895 million payable on 1 October 2026. To fund the payment, The Lottery Corporation has arranged a committed AU$1 billion bank facility and plans to use approximately AU$145 million from its existing undrawn credit facilities. Focus on operational continuity The extended licence term marks a significant shift from the previous model of roughly 10-year licensing renewals in Victoria, under which the licence would have expired on 30 June 2028. This new arrangement aligns the expiry date of the Victorian licence with those of the company’s other state licences and removes a medium-term renewal risk from its schedule. The next major licence renewal for the company is not expected until 2050, relating to New South Wales. Victoria represents The Lottery Corporation’s second-largest jurisdiction by lottery turnover and third-largest by EBITDA contribution. Company forecasts indicate that nearly half of all adult Victorians participate in its lottery games each year. The Lottery Corporation’s CEO, Wayne Pickup, welcomed the licence extension, stating that it will enable the corporation to “continue delivering safe, engaging and sustainable entertainment responsibly to Victorians for many years to come”. The renewed licence includes specific measures to ensure operational continuity and maintain retailer relationships. Current Tatts franchisees in Victoria with active agreements will be eligible for renewed franchise contracts through to 2038, subject to meeting sales performance and compliance standards. The company intends to invest in upgrading retail hardware and operating systems to support responsible gambling initiatives. It “supports a vibrant lottery retail network based on small businesses and generates substantial lottery duty revenue to fund state and community services.” ‘A secret deal’ The decision has drawn immediate criticism from gambling harm advocates and opposition politicians. James Newbury, the shadow attorney general, accused Treasury Minister Jaclyn Symes—who announced the extension as part of Victoria’s budget—of striking a “secret deal” with the corporation. “The revelation that the Lottery Corporation donated AU$177,000 to the Labor Party is deeply concerning,” he said. “The Premier must explain why her Labor government entered into a secret agreement with a company while her party accepted hundreds of thousands in political donations at the same time,” he added. “Given that Victoria is currently grappling with the worst corruption scandal in its history, the Premier must personally account for the details behind this so-called secret deal.” Kathryn EvansKathryn covers breaking news with a primary focus on EMEA and US legislation.

Entain agrees to court-enforceable undertaking after ACMA identifies over 500 BetStop violations

Entain agrees to court-enforceable undertaking after ACMA identifies over 500 BetStop violations

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Entain Group Pty Ltd—parent company of Australian betting brands Ladbrokes AU and Neds AU—has agreed to an 18-month court-enforceable commitment with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). This comes after an investigation that found over 500 violations of the country’s self-exclusion regulations. Multiple violations identified The ACMA launched its investigation after receiving seven consumer complaints and conducting an internal review of 50 BetStop-registered customers. ACMA discovered that Entain opened accounts for and offered betting services to people registered with BetStop—the National Self-Exclusion Register (NSER). It also found the parent company had neglected to close accounts belonging to customers who had self-excluded. The violations included: Entain created four new betting accounts for customers already on the NSER. Over 59 separate days, Entain offered interactive licensed betting services to NSER-registered individuals. Three accounts weren’t closed “as soon as possible” after customers self-excluded, leading to 449 separate violations of subsection 61MB(5)—each day the accounts stayed open counted as a breach. Under Australian rules, betting providers are required to close registrants’ accounts as soon as possible once they sign up for BetStop. Beyond account management issues, the investigation also revealed Entain sent 23 regulated electronic promotional messages that didn’t include required BetStop-related content. Self-excluded people still able to place bets ACMA member Carolyn Lidgerwood said: “Entain’s systems didn’t properly identify and connect all betting accounts held by these customers across its platforms—including one account that stayed open for over a year after the customer self-excluded.” The investigation found a customer who signed up for BetStop in August 2023 was able to open two new accounts in May 2024—right after Entain’s system verified the person was still registered. Another person who self-excluded in September 2023 kept betting on one of their two linked accounts for more than 10 months; Entain only closed the account it was aware of. “When people sign up for self-exclusion, there should be no way for them to open new accounts for licensed betting services in Australia,” Lidgerwood stressed. After ACMA’s investigation, Entain announced system improvements. These included rolling out a “single customer view” to merge customer accounts across its brands, increasing the frequency of “account washing” to hourly cycles for active accounts, and updating electronic promotional messages to include required BetStop content. Instead of issuing an infringement notice, ACMA accepted Entain’s detailed commitment. This agreement requires an 18-month court-enforceable independent review of the company’s compliance systems and procedures, plus an obligation to put any recommended changes into practice. While no infringement notice was given here, failing to meet the agreement’s terms could result in Entain facing court-imposed financial penalties. Maintaining strict compliance Launched in 2020, BetStop is a national self-exclusion register that lets customers block themselves from multiple licensed betting operators. Providers are legally obligated to stop BetStop registrants from using betting services and to close their existing accounts quickly. Recent Australian gambling reforms will strengthen BetStop after a statutory review, and also include strict advertising rules and measures to protect young people from gambling. The regulatory action against Entain comes after similar steps taken against other operators in recent years. ReadyBet was ordered to get an independent review of its marketing after an investigation found it had sent 273 texts and push notifications from its app to self-excluded people. ACMA also fined Unibet for letting self-excluded people keep betting. For Entain, the commitment lets it avoid immediate penalties but requires it to fix its compliance gaps under independent oversight.

SPA issues ordinance and regulatory directive to bar Novo Desenrola beneficiaries from gambling

SPA issues ordinance and regulatory directive to bar Novo Desenrola beneficiaries from gambling

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - On Tuesday, the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) released Ordinance No. 1,237 in the Federal Official Gazette, establishing regulations that prohibit participants in the Novo Desenrola Brasil program from placing bets. Regulatory Directive No. 3 was also issued, mandating that operators block new registrations for anyone joining the program and suspend the accounts of existing bettors. Users are expected to request a refund of their account balance; if they do not, the gambling company must return the funds within two days of determining the player's ineligibility. Administrative Order No. 1,237 modifies the agency’s prior document (No. 1,231/2024) to align with the requirements of Provisional Measure No. 1,355/2026, which bans fixed-odds betting for those enrolled in the Extraordinary Family Financial Rebalancing Program. This ban applies to recipients whose new loan agreements are backed by the Operations Guarantee Fund, created under Law No. 12,087 of 2009. The Ordinance further updates the betting restrictions to include “persons barred from betting by a specific administrative or judicial decision, upon formal notification” (subclause VII) and beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Programme and the Continuous Cash Transfer Benefit (subclause VIII). Directive mandates platforms to check if a customer is a Novo Desenrola Brasil program beneficiary The SPA also released Regulatory Directive No. 3, requiring sports betting and online gambling firms to stop Novo Desenrola Brasil beneficiaries from registering or using their platforms. A specific regulation will be issued later, detailing technical requirements, deadlines, and a transition period. Operators must adhere to procedures that prevent individuals subject to these new restrictions from accessing the gambling system. Operators are required to consult the Betting Management System (Sigap) to confirm if a user is listed in the Novo Desenrola Brasil beneficiary database. These checks must be performed in accordance with the rules outlined in the Ineligible Persons Module Manual. Sigap checks must be conducted when opening an account and during the first login of each day. Periodic checks are also required, in line with other SPA regulations. The Sigap query will return the following information: I – “Ineligible – Novo Desenrola Brasil Programme,” if the individual's taxpayer ID appears in the Ineligible Persons Module database as a program beneficiary; or II – “Not Ineligible”, if the ID is not found in the Ineligible Persons Module database. Account suspension required within 3 days If the system returns the message “Ineligible – Novo Desenrola Brasil Programme” during the first daily login, the operator must suspend the account within three days of the query date. Prior to suspension, the operator must notify the user of the reason for the action, allowing the user to withdraw any available funds. If the bettor does not withdraw the funds voluntarily, the bookmaker must refund the amount within two days by transferring it to a deposit or payment account registered by the customer on the platform. Mandatory communication with the customer Operators must document all interactions with the user, including the date, time, channel used, and message content, and retain this data for at least five years. If the funds cannot be transferred—due to issues with the user’s deposit or payment account, an inability to contact the user, or the user’s refusal to provide account details—the betting operator must: I – maintain accounting records of the funds; and II – make every effort to contact the user to obtain details for a deposit or payment account in their name at an institution authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil, to facilitate the transfer of owed funds. Once a user is identified as a Novo Desenrola Brasil beneficiary with outstanding bets, the operator must cancel those bets and issue a full refund. Operators have 10 days to implement the procedures outlined in the Regulatory Directive and 15 days to begin consulting the Sigap Ineligible Persons Module. This article is provided by a third-party.

A senator from Buenos Aires Province proposes a bill to ban online gambling ads in sports

A senator from Buenos Aires Province proposes a bill to ban online gambling ads in sports

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Buenos Aires Province Senator Malena Galmarini has put forward a legislative proposal aimed at prohibiting online gambling advertisements during sporting events. The proposed legislation would forbid any form of signage within a 100-meter radius of sports venues, and would also extend to a ban on gambling advertisements featured on sports apparel. This measure could present significant challenges for prominent football clubs such as Boca Juniors and River Plate, both of which are located in Buenos Aires and currently have sponsorship agreements with Betsson and Codere, respectively. The primary objective of this bill is to decrease the exposure of the Buenos Aires Province population to gambling, concurrently working to prevent gambling addiction and preserve the social roles of sports clubs as "institutions of community benefit." Galmarini emphasized the bill's importance in safeguarding children, stating: "The goal is not to ban the gambling industry itself, nor its advertising in general terms, but rather to protect a specific and particularly sensitive space: the community sports environment – a setting frequented by children, adolescents and families." The penalties for failure to comply Should it be approved, Galmarini's bill would designate the Provincial Undersecretariat of Sports as the body responsible for enforcement, tasked with coordinating efforts with the affected sports establishments. The Provincial Undersecretariat of Sports would undertake these duties in collaboration with the Undersecretariat for Consumer Protection and the Provincial Agency for Childhood and Adolescence. Municipalities would also be responsible for ensuring adherence to the regulations within their respective areas. In parallel, the Provincial Institute of Lotteries and Casinos would offer technical support to operators subject to the ban. For entities that do not comply, the bill outlines a range of sanctions, starting from formal warnings and escalating to fines between 500 and 50,000 "fine units." Currently, each fine unit is valued at Arg$2,215 (US$1.59), meaning the maximum penalty could amount to approximately US$79,514. Furthermore, the Executive Branch would retain the authority to suspend or revoke licenses and permits associated with the advertising activities of operators. Galmarini elaborated: "The bill seeks to uphold substantial public interests – such as public health and the protection of minors against gambling addiction – and constitutes a proportionate initiative, given that it does not prohibit the activity itself or its advertising in general, but merely removes it from the community sports environment." Examples of other nations’ ad bans Galmarini pointed out that several other countries already implement comparable bans on betting sponsorship within sports. Sports teams in Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands are prohibited from accepting kit sponsorships from betting companies, although some operators have found ways to circumvent these restrictions. For instance, in Italy, Inter is sponsored by Betsson’s media division. Galmarini’s bill specifically details that the ban would apply to sub-brands that are "substantially associated" with operators through elements such as typography or design.

Skylean Capital & Weritas Launch Web5 Sovereign Intelligence to Capture the $110 Billion Women-Led Credit Frontier — Africa’s Most Underpriced Asset Class

Skylean Capital & Weritas Launch Web5 Sovereign Intelligence to Capture the $110 Billion Women-Led Credit Frontier — Africa’s Most Underpriced Asset Class

Mei 6, 2026
MIAMI BEACH, FL, May 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A strategic alliance targeting the $110 billion women-led SME financing gap across Sub-Saharan Africa, deploying tokenized credit, sovereign identity, and AI-driven underwriting to unlock the century's most significant demographic dividend.$16T - Tokenized RWA Market by 2030 · BCG / 21Shares$110B - Women-Led SME Financing Gap · Sub-Saharan Africa4B - Africa's Projected Population by 2100 · UN DESA19 - Africa's Median Age · World's Youngest Continent01. THE OPPORTUNITY The Century's Most Significant Capital Formation EventGlobal structured finance engineered a $12 trillion market serving a North American population of 250 million over the last four decades. Africa home to 1.4 billion people today, set to reach 2.5 billion by 2050 and 4 billion by 2100, represents a capital formation opportunity of incomparably greater magnitude. With a median age of just 19 years, the continent holds the most youthful, fastest-growing workforce in human history.The bottleneck is not ambition, it is credit infrastructure. Of the $330 billion annual demand for SME financing in Sub-Saharan Africa, women entrepreneurs represent one-third — approximately $110 billion that remains entirely underserved by conventional financial institutions. The IFC estimates that 70% of women-owned SMEs in developing economies are either unserved or underserved by formal credit markets, a structural gap that Weritas and Skylean Capital are engineered to close.$330B - Annual SME Credit Demand · Sub-Saharan Africa Of which $110B is women-led — structurally excluded from conventional underwriting due to absent credit history, lack of collateral, and institutional bias.70% - Women-Owned SMEs Unserved by Formal Credit · IFC Across 128 developing economies, the financing gap for women-owned SMEs totals over $1.7 trillion globally, with Sub-Saharan Africa the highest-density opportunity.$832B - Mobile Money Transactions · Africa 2022 · GSMA Africa processes over 70% of the world's mobile money volume. The payment rails exist. The missing layer is structured credit and sovereign identity.$65B - African Fintech Revenue Projected 2030 · McKinsey Sub-Saharan Africa's fintech sector forecast to grow at 10% CAGR through 2030 - faster than any other region globally."The math of the future is being written in Africa. We saw how structured finance created a $12 trillion market for a North American population of 250 million. Now apply that same financial engineering to a continent of 1.4 billion people, growing to 2.5 billion by 2050 and 4 billion by 2100. We are looking at the biggest capital formation opportunity of our century - and the unlock is solving credit for the women who already drive one-third of the $330 billion demand," said Skyler Zhang, CEO, Skylean Capital · Consensus 2026, Miami Beach.02. THE PROTOCOL Web5 Sovereign Intelligence: Identity as InfrastructureThe Weritas protocol is built on Web5 principles — a decentralized identity model that returns ownership of data to the individual, ensuring that as Africa's 1.4 billion citizens enter the global economy, they do so as sovereign data subjects, not data-extracted users. By fusing Web5 decentralized identifiers (DIDs) with AI-driven credit intelligence, Weritas transforms what has historically been called "thin-file risk" into a precision-underwritten credit opportunity.The platform aggregates transactional, behavioral, and psychometric data - with full user consent - through its Credit Intelligence Layer, enabling lenders and institutional capital allocators to underwrite borrowers who have never held a bank account or formal credit product. The Group works with regulated lending partners in East Africa, providing the live loan book that powers the Group's Tokenized Private Credit Program: a tri-tranche tokenized ABS backed by regulated payroll-deducted SME loan portfolios, issued through an internationally domiciled special purpose vehicle."Infrastructure like Ondo's has proven the pipes work for ETFs — but the Weritas protocol is built for the complexity of global credit and human identity. By adopting Web5 principles, we ensure that identity is plural and data is sovereign. When a woman entrepreneur in Nairobi owns her data and our AI verifies her reliability, the risk for global institutions evaporates. That is how we unlock the $110 billion," said Reshmeen Hooda, Chair, Weritas · Consensus 2026, Miami Beach.The protocol's native utility token underpins ecosystem participation, staking, governance, and access to the credit network.03. THE MARKET Institutional Capital Is Already MovingThe tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market which crossed $12 billion in 2024 — is projected by Boston Consulting Group and 21Shares to reach $16 trillion by 2030, representing the single largest asset migration in financial history. BlackRock's BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton's FOBXX, and Ondo Finance's OUSG have established that institutional appetite for on-chain yield is structural, not speculative.The Weritas/Skylean alliance brings this institutional momentum to bear on the only asset class that combines demographic inevitability with structural underpricing: African frontier credit. With the Group's tokenized credit program structured as a fully regulated, multi-jurisdictional instrument, institutional investors in Toronto, Dubai, Tokyo, and Miami now have a live entry corridor into African private credit for the first time.$16T - Projected Tokenized RWA Market · 2030 · BCG / 21Shares$1.7T - Global Women-Owned SME Financing Gap · IFC / World Bank60% - Global Unbanked Population Located in Africa · World Bank Findex3× - Women's Reinvestment Multiplier · UNDP / Gates Foundation04. BEYOND FINANCE Sovereign Intelligence: The Universal Ledger for Human CapitalThe implications of the Weritas Sovereign Intelligence layer extend well beyond loan books. Because the Web5 architecture grants individuals true ownership and portability of their data, the same protocol stack that underwrites an SME loan in Nairobi can serve as a universal ledger for human capital across healthcare, education, and global mobility.For a continent where 600 million people lack reliable identity documentation (World Bank, 2024), Weritas's DID-anchored sovereign identity infrastructure solves a foundational problem that credit alone cannot address. A woman entrepreneur who today has no credit file, no passport, and no formal employment history can, through the Weritas protocol, construct a verifiable, portable, AI-enriched human identity, one that travels with her as she accesses finance, healthcare, education, and cross-border markets.About Skylean CapitalSkylean Capital is a boutique, women-led venture capital and private equity firm led by CEO Skyler Zhang, specialising in the intersection of traditional structured finance and the decentralised frontier of emerging markets.About WeritasWeritas is a women-led, Web5-enabled real-world asset protocol providing sovereign identity and credit intelligence infrastructure for global structured finance.

Belanda mempertimbangkan larangan penuh iklan ketika batasan pengecualian diri menjadi fokus

Belanda mempertimbangkan larangan penuh iklan ketika batasan pengecualian diri menjadi fokus

Mei 6, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Dalam tindak balas kepada kebimbangan mengenai ketidaktepatan yang ketara dalam kaedah perlindungan pemain sedia ada, kerajaan Belanda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk mengenalkan undang-undang iklan perjudian yang lebih ketat, termasuk mungkin melarang semua bentuk iklan perjudian. Sebagai hasil daripada pertanyaan yang dihantar oleh Kongres kepada Setiausaha Negara bagi Permainan Claudia Van Bruggen, kini telah jelas bahawa pengeluar permainan sedia ada tidak dapat mengesahkan melalui sistem Cruks sama ada semua pelanggan yang mereka hantar iklan kepada telah secara sukarela mengecualikan diri mereka daripada bermain. Selain itu, sistem Cruks tidak dapat mencegah sebarang individu mengakses laman web perjudian yang tidak dibenarkan. Van Bruggen mencantumkan perubahan dasar yang berpotensi ini secara terus-menerus untuk perlindungan pemain, terutamanya untuk pengguna rentan yang cuba untuk menghentikan bermain, dikatakan: Kerajaan sedang bekerja mengikut persetujuan kerjaya untuk mengukuhkan semula peraturan iklan perjudian, terutamanya untuk melindungi golongan rentan. Sementara itu, instrumen seperti Cruks kekal terhadap pasaran terawasi. Mereka tidak dapat mencegah akses kepada penyedia luar negeri atau sepenuhnya memadamkan pendedahan terhadap iklan. Semasa ini, Belanda memberlakukan salah satu peraturan tertinggi di Eropa dalam melarang iklan perjudian. Semasa peraturan semakin ketat tentang amalan iklan perjudian telah dilaksanakan sejak dilancarkan pasaran dalam talian terawasi pada pertengahan 2021, termasuk melarang iklan yang tidak bersesuaian, iklan awam dan sekutu yang berkaitan dengan acara sukan dan lain-lain. Sementara penyiar diizinkan menerima garis panduan yang ketat untuk mewujudkan iklan yang ditujukan, kenyataan terbaru oleh kerajaan mencadangkan lebih banyak perubahan akan datang. Tindakan penguatkuasaan terhadap pengeluar tidak sah akan terus menjadi fokus pihak Berkuasa Belanda; namun, mereka telah mengakui bahawa mekanisme penguatkuasaan nasional akan tidak efektif terhadap pengeluar offshore. Terdapat maklum balas negatif yang signifikan daripada industri perjudian mengenai sebarang perbatasan masa depan terhadap iklan. VNLOK memperuntukkan bahawa melarang semua iklan perjudian akan menjadikan pengeluar sah benar-benar tidak dapat dilihat oleh pemain perjudian. Pengerusi VNLOK, Björn Fuchs, beralasan bahawa keterlihatan adalah penting untuk mengalirkan pemain ke platform terawasi, mengatakan: Dasar perjudian Belanda dibuat secara sengaja dibawah pasaran terbuka dan terawasi dengan keperluan yang ketat untuk tanggungjawab kebajikan, iklan dan pengawasan. Sistem itu hanya berfungsi jika tawaran sah, selamat tetap kelihatan kepada pemain. Larangan keseluruhan ke atas iklan merosakkan mula itu secara tepat.
