Hershey akan kembali ke resep asli untuk Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups setelah cucu pendirinya mengkritik perubahan rasa bulan lalu

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Hershey mengatakan pada hari Rabu bahwa mereka akan menggunakan resep klasik untuk semua produk Reese mulai tahun depan, sebuah perubahan yang terjadi setelah cucu pendiri Reese mengkritik perusahaan karena beralih ke bahan-bahan yang lebih murah. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups selalu dibuat dengan cokelat susu asli atau cokelat hitam dan selai kacang. Namun, sebagian kecil produk Hershey dan Reese, seperti telur Paskah mini, kini dibuat dengan lapisan yang mengandung lebih sedikit cokelat. Hershey mengatakan bahwa pada tahun 2027, mereka akan mengalihkan produk-produk tersebut ke "resep cokelat susu dan cokelat hitam klasiknya." Perusahaan yang berbasis di Hershey, Pennsylvania ini mengatakan bahwa mereka juga akan melakukan perubahan lain pada portofolio permennya tahun depan, termasuk transisi ke pewarna alami dan peningkatan resep Kit-Kat agar lebih lembut. Perusahaan mengatakan berencana untuk meningkatkan pendanaan penelitian dan pengembangannya sebesar 25% tahun depan. "Hershey berkomitmen untuk membuat produk yang disukai konsumen dan itu berarti terus meninjau resep kami untuk memenuhi selera dan preferensi yang terus berkembang," kata perusahaan itu dalam sebuah pernyataan. Brad Reese, cucu penemu Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, memicu kontroversi dalam surat terbuka yang dikirimnya kepada manajer merek perusahaan Hershey pada Hari Valentine. "Bagaimana The Hershey Co. terus memposisikan Reese's sebagai merek andalannya, simbol kepercayaan, kualitas, dan kepemimpinan, sambil diam-diam mengganti bahan-bahan (Cokelat Susu + Selai Kacang) yang membangun kepercayaan Reese di tempat pertama?" tulis Reese dalam surat tersebut, yang ia posting di profil LinkedIn-nya. Hershey mengakui beberapa perubahan resep tetapi mengatakan bahwa mereka mencoba memenuhi permintaan konsumen untuk inovasi. Harga kakao yang tinggi juga telah menyebabkan Hershey dan produsen lain bereksperimen dengan menggunakan lebih sedikit cokelat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Associated Press meninggalkan pesan kepada Brad Reese pada hari Rabu untuk meminta komentar. Brad Reese adalah cucu dari H.B. Reese, yang menghabiskan dua tahun di Hershey sebelum mendirikan perusahaan permennya sendiri pada tahun 1919. H.B. Reese menemukan Reese's Peanut Butter Cups pada tahun 1928; keenam putranya akhirnya menjual perusahaannya kepada Hershey pada tahun 1963.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

AI Menghemat Waktu Pekerja Hingga Satu Jam Sehari—Namun Goldman Sachs Mengatakan 80% Perusahaan Belum Menggunakannya News

AI Menghemat Waktu Pekerja Hingga Satu Jam Sehari—Namun Goldman Sachs Mengatakan 80% Perusahaan Belum Menggunakannya

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Anda mungkin sudah bosan membaca tentang kecerdasan buatan, mungkin terutama dari penulis ini. Namun di tengah semua diskusi, sensasi, dan histeria, ekonom Goldman Sachs Sarah Dong dan Joseph Briggs memberikan dosis kenyataan yang menyadarkan dalam data tersebut: Kurang dari 19% perusahaan di AS telah mengadopsinya. Survei Tren dan Prospek Bisnis dari Census Bureau, sebagaimana dilaporkan dalam AI Adoption Tracker bulan Maret 2026 milik Goldman, menunjukkan bahwa angka tersebut pada dasarnya stagnan dari bulan sebelumnya, meskipun diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 22,3% selama enam bulan ke depan. Ini menunjukkan bahwa adopsi, meskipun berkembang, belum mencapai titik balik yang akan menjadikan AI sebagai alat standar di tempat kerja, melainkan masih menjadi keunggulan kompetitif yang disediakan bagi para penggerak awal. Namun data tersebut juga menunjukkan bahwa, jika digunakan dengan benar, AI menghemat banyak waktu. Pekerja perusahaan yang menggunakan AI mendapatkan kembali hampir satu jam sehari, menurut data dari OpenAI tertanggal Desember 2025. Secara khusus, Goldman melaporkan bahwa karyawan di perusahaan dengan akun ChatGPT enterprise menghemat rata-rata 40 hingga 60 menit per hari berkat AI, dan 75% mengatakan mereka sekarang dapat menyelesaikan tugas-tugas yang sebelumnya tidak dapat mereka lakukan sama sekali. Masalahnya, tentu saja, adalah hampir tidak ada orang yang melakukan ini sekarang. “Kami terus mengamati dampak besar pada produktivitas tenaga kerja di area terbatas di mana AI generatif telah diterapkan,” tulis para ekonom Goldman, yang pada dasarnya setuju dengan pengungkapan OpenAI. “Studi akademik menunjukkan rata-rata peningkatan produktivitas sebesar 23%, sementara anekdot perusahaan menunjukkan peningkatan efisiensi yang sedikit lebih besar, sekitar 33%.” Sederhananya: Perusahaan-perusahaan yang menggunakan AI mulai unggul, dan sebagian besar pesaing mereka bahkan belum memulai perlombaan. Kesenjangan adopsi semakin melebar Kesenjangan adopsi bukan hanya terjadi antar industri—tetapi juga sangat mencolok berdasarkan ukuran perusahaan. Perusahaan dengan lebih dari 250 karyawan melaporkan tingkat adopsi AI sebesar 35,3%, lebih dari dua kali lipat dibandingkan perusahaan yang lebih kecil. Namun bisnis kecil mulai memperkecil kesenjangan tersebut: Perusahaan dengan 20 hingga 49 karyawan mencatat peningkatan adopsi terbesar baru-baru ini, melonjak 2,1 poin persentase menjadi 21,5%. Sektor-sektor yang memimpin adopsi sudah bisa ditebak—layanan informasi, layanan profesional, keuangan dan asuransi, serta pendidikan. Perusahaan komputasi dan web hosting menempati urutan teratas dengan tingkat adopsi 60%. Namun perusahaan penyiaran diperkirakan akan mengalami lonjakan terbesar selama enam bulan ke depan, menurut analisis Goldman terhadap data Census Bureau, yang menandakan bahwa industri media dan konten berada di ambang transformasi signifikan yang didorong oleh AI. Apa yang dilewatkan oleh sebagian besar perusahaan Tentu saja, gambarannya tidak sepenuhnya indah. Seperti yang dilaporkan bulan lalu, alat AI juga menambah beban kognitif yang signifikan bagi banyak pekerja, dengan waktu yang dihabiskan untuk beberapa tugas meningkat sebanyak 346%, dan jam kerja fokus mendalam turun 2%. Penghematan waktu, ternyata, sering kali segera diinvestasikan kembali untuk lebih banyak pekerjaan, bukan lebih sedikit. juga sebelumnya melaporkan bahwa beberapa perusahaan yang menerapkan AI kini menyelesaikan siklus produk yang sebelumnya memakan waktu 24 hingga 36 bulan hanya dalam waktu enam bulan—sebuah kompresi waktu ke pasar yang sulit untuk dibalikkan setelah pesaing mencapainya. Bagi sekitar 81% perusahaan AS yang belum menggunakan AI, data menunjukkan bahwa mereka melewatkan dividen produktivitas yang substansial. Angka-angka enterprise dari OpenAI menunjukkan bahwa pengguna bisnisnya sekarang mengirimkan pesan 30% lebih banyak daripada beberapa bulan yang lalu—sebuah sinyal bahwa begitu pekerja mulai menggunakan alat tersebut, keterlibatan akan meningkat dengan cepat. Taruhan ini tidak luput dari perhatian para eksekutif C-suite. Sebuah survei terhadap para CFO yang diterbitkan minggu lalu menemukan bahwa para eksekutif secara pribadi memperkirakan PHK yang disebabkan oleh AI akan sembilan kali lebih tinggi pada tahun 2026 dibandingkan angka publik saat ini—bahkan ketika banyak dari CFO yang sama mengakui adanya kesenjangan yang terus-menerus antara keuntungan produktivitas yang mereka harapkan dari AI dan apa yang sebenarnya telah mereka ukur sejauh ini. Data Goldman Sachs, yang menunjukkan percepatan produktivitas nyata di industri dengan tingkat adopsi yang lebih tinggi, menunjukkan bahwa kesenjangan tersebut mungkin mulai mengecil—tetapi hanya bagi perusahaan yang benar-benar telah menerapkan alat tersebut dan melakukannya dengan benar. Terkait hal itu, dilaporkan minggu lalu bahwa 77% perusahaan secara aktif mengejar inisiatif AI—tetapi banyak yang tidak tahu cara mengevaluasi, mengadakan, atau menerapkan alat tersebut secara efektif, sehingga pengeluaran yang signifikan tidak memberikan hasil yang terukur. Hambatan adopsi telah terdokumentasi dengan baik: kurangnya keterampilan karyawan, kekhawatiran keamanan data, dan kesulitan mengidentifikasi kasus penggunaan yang tepat, menurut survei dari Deloitte, Gartner, dan Bain & Company. Namun hambatan tersebut mulai melunak. Bain menemukan bahwa lebih dari 80% kasus penggunaan AI yang dilaporkan sekarang memenuhi atau melampaui harapan—sebuah angka yang mematahkan skeptisisme yang masih umum terjadi di banyak ruang rapat direksi. Bagi para eksekutif yang masih mengevaluasi apakah akan berinvestasi dalam peralatan AI, data Goldman Sachs menawarkan peringatan yang jelas: Perusahaan yang telah menerapkan AI mulai menunjukkan keuntungan produktivitas yang terukur dibandingkan dengan mereka yang belum. Penghematan 40 hingga 60 menit sehari yang diberikan AI bukan sekadar kenyamanan bagi pekerja. Di seluruh tim yang terdiri dari 50 orang, itu berarti sekitar 33 hingga 50 jam produktivitas yang dipulihkan—setiap hari. Perusahaan-perusahaan yang sudah menangkap hal itu tidak menunggu teknologinya matang. Mereka telah memutuskan bahwa risiko menunggu lebih besar daripada risiko untuk bergerak. Ada dimensi yang lebih manusiawi dalam kalkulasi itu juga. Seperti yang dilaporkan pada bulan Januari, banyak pekerja yang produktivitasnya benar-benar meningkat berkat AI masih menggambarkan rasa kehilangan yang sunyi—akan keahlian, otonomi, dan ritme kerja yang lebih lambat yang dulu mendefinisikan pekerjaan terampil. Satu jam yang mereka dapatkan kembali itu, kata beberapa orang, rasanya tidak lagi seperti milik mereka sendiri.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Honda Makes Gachaco a Consolidated Subsidiary by Subscribing to New Shares of Gachaco Issued Through Third-party Allotment JCN Newswire

Honda Makes Gachaco a Consolidated Subsidiary by Subscribing to New Shares of Gachaco Issued Through Third-party Allotment

April 1, 2026
TOKYO, Japan, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has subscribed to new shares of Gachaco, Inc. (Gachaco) issued through a third-party allotment (“this transaction”), thereby making Gachaco a consolidated subsidiary of Honda.Gachaco was established in April 2022 as a joint venture of five companies in Japan — Honda, ENEOS Holdings, Kawasaki Motors, Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. — to provide a sharing service of standardized swappable batteries for electric motorcycles and to establish and maintain infrastructure for such sharing services.Since October 2022, Gachaco has been installing Gachaco battery swapping stations primarily in Tokyo, where electric motorcycle users with a Gachaco membership can efficiently swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one whenever needed, without any waiting time for charging. The company has rolled out the service in urban areas of Tokyo, starting with corporate customers and, in January 2024, the service was expanded to individual customers as well. Gachaco has been building out its infrastructure to create an environment where anyone can use electric motorcycles without worrying about charging time and riding range. Currently, the company is expanding its network of Gachaco stations, primarily in Tokyo and Osaka, while also pursuing the establishment of a next-generation energy infrastructure that contributes to a decarbonized and circular society.Honda is striving to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, and one of the key initiatives toward this goal is the popularization of electric mobility products. In addition to expanding the lineup of electric models, Honda believes that it is important to build battery charging and supply networks so that people can use their electric motorcycles with peace of mind; therefore, Honda has been considering Gachaco as an important partner for realizing such a future. Going forward, in order to continue to enhance the usage environment for electric motorcycle products, Honda realized that a motorcycle manufacturer needs to take the lead in this initiative. Based on this reasoning, Honda has decided to acquire additional shares in Gachaco.As a subsidiary of Honda, Gachaco will further accelerate its ongoing initiatives to build battery charging and supply networks and work to expand its battery sharing service for users of electric construction machinery and equipment powered by swappable batteries. In addition, Gachaco will work to offer rental and maintenance services for battery swapping stations to be installed on the premises of business facilities of corporate customers with large fleets of electric motorcycles. Through these initiatives, Honda will lead the growth of Gachaco business and establish an environment where more customers can use electric mobility products safely with complete peace of mind.Overview of the transactionClass of subscribed sharesCommon shares of Gachaco Inc.Number of subscribed shares340,000 sharesAmount to be paid340,000,000 yenHonda shareholding ratio after the transaction47%About GachacoCompany nameGachaco Inc.Location4F, THE CORNER Shibakoen,2-8-2 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 1050011, JapanEstablishedApril 1, 2022RepresentativeMasahide Hirose, PresidentShareholdersHonda Motor Co., Ltd.,ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo Kaisha*,Suzuki Motor Corporation,Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.,Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.,BusinessOperation of battery charging/swapping stations to achieve widespread useand broader applications of standardized swappable batteries*ENEOS Holdings, Inc. has invested in Gachaco through its investment company, ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo KaishaGachaco station Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

9 Alasan AI Belum Akan Mengambil Alih Pekerjaan Anda (Untuk Saat Ini)

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Pemberi kerja berada di bawah tekanan besar untuk mengadopsi AI dan membuang karyawan. Investor dan CEO berfantasi tentang memotong biaya dan meningkatkan margin; setiap CIO dipaksa untuk membuat rencana AI, agar tidak tertinggal dari kompetitor. Impian revolusi yang digerakkan oleh agen AI ada di mana-mana. Tapi para pemimpin tidak perlu merasa harus terburu-buru untuk menerima masa depan yang belum tiba. Ada banyak alasan untuk berhati-hati. Berikut sembilan alasan: “Para ahli” seringkali salah besar dalam prediksi mereka. Laureat Nobel dan pionir AI Geoffrey Hinton mengatakan pada tahun 2016, “Orang harus berhenti melatih radiolog sekarang… Sangat jelas bahwa dalam lima tahun, deep learning akan melakukan lebih baik daripada radiolog.” Tapi hampir tidak ada radiolog yang digantikan sepuluh tahun kemudian. Pendiri Google Sergey Brin menjanjikan pada tahun 2012 bahwa mobil otonom akan menjadi ubiquitous pada tahun 2017. Hari ini, 14 tahun setelah janji itu (dan banyak janji berikutnya oleh Elon Musk), kendaraan sepenuhnya otonom masih merupakan eksperimen terbatas, tersedia hanya di sejumlah kecil kota dengan cuaca cerah. Big Tech ingin kamu percaya bahwa mereka telah menciptakan artificial general intelligence. Itu tidak membuatnya benar. Ketika CEO tech memperingatkan tentang Armageddon pekerjaan, mereka mungkin sedang menutupi dasar-dasarnya jika hal itu benar-benar terjadi, tapi mungkin juga mereka hanya ingin kamu menaikkan valuasi perusahaan mereka. Ambil setiap proyeksi yang mereka buat dengan skeptisisme. Dalam hal dampak pada pekerjaan, angka-angka dari raksasa AI tidak mendukung klaim mereka. CEO Anthropic telah memperingatkan tentang jobpocalypse, tapi penelitian terbaru Anthropic sendiri menunjukkan kesenjangan antara persepsi dan realitas. Perusahaan ini memproyeksikan potensi besar untuk apa yang AI mungkin lakukan di bidang seperti keuangan dan arsitektur. Tapi apa yang mereka sebut “observed AI coverage” (frasa bagus untuk apa yang terjadi di dunia nyata) hanya merupakan bagian kecil yang lucu dari jangkauan teoritis itu. Apa yang mereka bayangkan AI mungkin lakukan dan apa yang sebenarnya dilakukan AI adalah berjauhan seperti jarak cahaya. AI saat ini adalah “jagged” (baik di beberapa hal tapi tidak di yang lain), yang berarti ia jarang bisa menggantikan manusia sepenuhnya. AI pasti bisa membantu produktivitas beberapa pekerja, tapi bahkan pada tugas yang AI kuasai, model dan agen seringkali membuat kesalahan bodoh, beberapa di antaranya sulit dideteksi. Dan tugas bukanlah pekerjaan: Bahkan jika AI bisa melakukan sebagian dari pekerjaan seseorang, tidak berarti ia bisa melakukan seluruh pekerjaan orang itu. Model AI saat ini masih memiliki kesulitan untuk melampaui bahasa. Beberapa pekerjaan white-collar hanya melibatkan kata-kata, tapi banyak yang melibatkan pemahaman visual: menafsirkan gambar, grafik, diagram, cetak biru, peta, dan lain-lain. Mungkin tampak mudah untuk membayangkan AI mengambil alih setiap pekerjaan, terutama jika kamu menganggapnya sebagai bentuk magic. Tapi begitu kamu menyadari bahwa AI saat ini adalah alat, dengan kelebihan dan kekurangan, kamu mulai menyadari bahwa teknologi ini hanya cenderung mendesak pekerja di beberapa profesi dan tidak di yang lain (dan lebih sering hanya akan menambah pekerjaan manusia). Bahkan di domain seperti layanan pelanggan yang mungkin tampak sederhana, hasilnya seringkali mengecewakan. The Remote Labor Index fokus pada pekerjaan yang bisa diselesaikan sepenuhnya melalui internet, dan menemukan bahwa kurang dari 4.5% yang benar-benar bisa diselesaikan dengan memadai oleh agen AI. Kebanyakan tenaga kerja fisik jauh melampaui apa yang AI saat ini bisa lakukan. Jangan berharap AI akan menggantikan tukang ledeng, tukang kayu, mekanik mobil, perawat, petugas kebersihan rumah, penjaga hutan, koki, pekerja perbaikan peralatan, tukang kebun, atau banyak pekerjaan lain dalam waktu dekat. Banyak PHK yang dikaitkan dengan AI sebenarnya bukan tentang AI. Ini mungkin kasus untuk PHK massal baru-baru ini di fintech Block; beberapa melihatnya sebagai upaya oleh CEO Jack Dorsey untuk mendapatkan kembali kepercayaan investor setelah sahamnya turun drastis. Dalam banyak kasus AI mungkin berperan sebagai daun fig untuk menutupi PHK yang sebenarnya didorong oleh kinerja keuangan yang buruk atau overhiring sebelumnya. Beberapa PHK yang dikaitkan dengan AI tidak berlangsung lama. Saya menyebut ini the Klarna Effect, diambil dari perusahaan buy-now, pay-later Klarna, yang dengan bangga melakukan PHK massal AI hanya untuk membaliknya. Banyak dari orang yang di-PHK bekerja di layanan pelanggan, tapi setelah 11 bulan Klarna memutuskan bahwa (setidaknya dalam beberapa kasus) “manusia nyata” tetap dibutuhkan. Dampak keseluruhan pada produktivitas dan return on investment AI sejauh ini masih sederhana. Setiap perusahaan sedang berinvestasi dalam AI, tapi sejauh ini sebagian besar tidak mendapatkan return yang besar. Semua ini bisa berubah; mungkin suatu hari akan terjadi—tapi kemungkinan besar tidak sampai kita melihat kemajuan yang lebih radikal dalam AI, yang bisa berjarak satu dekade atau lebih. Sementara itu, sarananya sederhana: Jangan fokus pada menggantikan manusia. Fokus pada bagaimana kamu bisa menggunakan AI untuk membantu mereka yang kamu miliki.

Evoke Akan Menutup 200 Toko William Hill Akibat Kenaikan Pajak Perjudian di Britania Raya iGame

Evoke Akan Menutup 200 Toko William Hill Akibat Kenaikan Pajak Perjudian di Britania Raya

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Evoke Plc memberi tahu staf pada hari Selasa bahwa mereka berencana untuk menutup secara permanen sekitar 200 toko ritelnya di Inggris. Penutupan ini mewakili sekitar 15% dari aset ritel Evoke. Perusahaan tersebut mengatakan dalam pernyataan lanjutan bahwa penutupan toko akan dimulai pada bulan Mei dan merupakan bagian dari tinjauan strategis yang lebih luas, yang mungkin mencakup potensi pelepasan aset. Langkah ini diancam sebelum anggaran musim gugur ketika Kanselir Rachel Reeves mengumumkan peningkatan signifikan pada Remote Gaming Duty dan Remote Betting Duty Inggris. Kemudian CEO Evoke Per Widerström mengonfirmasi keputusan tersebut pada bulan Januari dalam pembaruan perdagangan perusahaan. Yang terakhir mulai berlaku hari ini, sedangkan RBD akan berlaku pada April 2027. Evoke, yang mengoperasikan sekitar 1.300 outlet taruhan di seluruh negeri, telah menjalani tinjauan strategis sejak Desember, karena operator mempertimbangkan penjualan sebagian atau seluruhnya, serta "berbagai alternatif potensial". Kritik dan kenaikan pajak Dalam pernyataan yang dikirim ke iGB, juru bicara Evoke mengatakan: "Setelah tinjauan menyeluruh dan menyusul tekanan biaya yang meningkat pada sektor yang diatur termasuk peningkatan pajak signifikan yang diumumkan oleh pemerintah dalam anggaran musim gugur tahun lalu, mulai Mei kami menutup sejumlah toko yang tidak lagi berkelanjutan. "Kami menawarkan dukungan penuh kami kepada rekan ritel kami yang terdampak oleh penutupan ini. "Keputusan ini tidak pernah diambil dengan ringan, namun menghadapi tekanan biaya yang meningkat, kami harus mengambil tindakan untuk memastikan kami dapat terus berinvestasi pada aset ritel inti kami, dengan toko yang tepat, di lokasi yang tepat." Sejumlah operator ritel memperingatkan bahwa kenaikan pajak dapat memicu penutupan di seluruh aset mereka, termasuk Betfred dan Entain. Flutter menutup 57 toko miliknya sendiri pada tahun 2025 sebagai akibat dari penurunan ritel yang terus berlanjut. ‘Sangat merugikan’ bagi ekonomi Inggris Dalam catatan analis bulan Januari, Deutsche Bank memangkas proyeksi EBITDA FY26 dan FY27 Evoke masing-masing sebesar 12% dan 18%. Karena leverage keuangan yang tinggi, laba per saham akan turun sebesar 40% dan 52%. Bank tersebut mengasumsikan pertumbuhan online Inggris hanya 2,5% pada FY26 dan FY27, dengan margin turun dari 23% di FY26 menjadi 13% pada FY27. Para pemangku kepentingan telah berspekulasi siapa atau apa yang bisa membeli Evoke, atau beberapa asetnya, dalam jangka pendek. Ben Robinson, managing partner di Corfai, baru-baru ini mengatakan kepada iGB bahwa ekuitas swasta adalah pembeli yang paling kredibel untuk grup secara keseluruhan. Tapi Robin Chhabra, CEO dan presiden Tekkorp Capital, percaya bahwa permainan strategis terbaik bagi Evoke adalah memecah bisnis internasionalnya. "Permata di sini adalah divisi Internasional; pasar seperti Italia, Spanyol, Rumania, dan Denmark menawarkan pertumbuhan dua digit. Mereka tidak tersentuh oleh tugas baru kanselir. Menjual ini adalah satu-satunya rute cepat untuk deleverage," katanya. Kathryn EvansKathryn meliputi berita terkini singkat dengan fokus utama pada legislasi EMEA dan AS.

Star Entertainment memperoleh fasilitas refinansial senilai A$590 juta iGame

Star Entertainment memperoleh fasilitas refinansial senilai A$590 juta

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Star Entertainment Group telah memperoleh komitmen mengikat untuk fasilitas refinansing senilai A$590 juta (sekitar US$390 juta) dari WhiteHawk Capital. Perjanjian ini, yang diungkapkan dalam pernyataan ke Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) pada hari Senin, dimaksudkan untuk men refinansing utang Star yang ada sepenuhnya, dan memberikan likuiditas tambahan untuk mendukung operasinya. Likuiditas dan syarat keuangan Fasilitas refinansing baru selama tiga tahun ini mencakup berbagai syarat termasuk penyelesaian dokumentasi keuangan bentuk panjang, persetujuan regulasi, dan penyelesaian penjualan kepentingan Star di Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC). Secara spesifik, persyaratan likuiditas ditetapkan pada A$50 juta untuk tahun pertama setelah penutupan keuangan. Ini akan meningkat menjadi A$75 juta dalam enam bulan berikutnya, mencapai A$100 juta setelah 18 bulan. Syarat keuangan fasilitas ini termasuk margin bunga yang konsisten dengan pengaturan utang sebelumnya perusahaan. The Star menggambarkan syarat-syarat ini sebagai biasa, mencakup kewajiban pelaporan standar dan peristiwa default. Bukan yang pertama kalinya Star berada di bawah tekanan untuk memperbaiki kondisi keuangannya karena mantan eksekutif dinyatakan telah melanggar Undang-Undang Perusahaan pada awal Maret. The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) melakukan proses hukuman perdata terhadap grup ini karena dugaan pelanggaran sistemik undang-undang anti-pencucian uang dan pembiayaan counter-terrorisme (AML/CTF). Denda potensial bisa mencapai hingga A$400 juta. Pada tahun 2025, Bally’s Corporation dan Investment Holdings menginvestasikan A$300 juta, secara kolektif memperoleh sekitar 61% ekuitas di The Star. Investasi ini memicu reshuffle dewan dan manajemen senior. Sejak itu, grup ini telah menerapkan berbagai strategi pengurangan biaya. Ini termasuk menutup kantor perusahaan dan mendelegasikan tanggung jawab operasional yang lebih besar ke tim manajemen properti. Selain itu, Star sedang berusaha untuk keluar dari joint venture Queen’s Wharf Brisbane. Proses ini tetap bersyarat dengan pelepasan dari jaminan perusahaan induk sebesar perkiraan A$700 juta.

Swedia ambil tindakan lebih keras terhadap judi ilegal iGame

Swedia ambil tindakan lebih keras terhadap judi ilegal

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Pada 31 Maret 2026, pemerintah Swedia menerima proposal komprehensif dari Spelinspektionen – otoritas perizinan untuk perjudian di Swedia – mengenai rencana mereka untuk membatasi akses ke perjudian jarak jauh yang tidak berizin. Proposal tersebut mencakup langkah-langkah penegakan hukum baik secara legal maupun praktis yang bertujuan untuk membatasi kemampuan operator lepas pantai yang tidak berizin dalam menyediakan layanan kepada warga negara Swedia. Sesuai dengan hukum yang berlaku saat ini, tindakan penegakan hukum hanya diperbolehkan jika operator yang tidak berizin secara aktif mempromosikan layanannya di Swedia, misalnya, menggunakan bahasa Swedia dan/atau menyediakan metode pembayaran dalam mata uang Krona Swedia. Oleh karena itu, penegakan hukum saat ini sangat menantang. Proposal tersebut akan mengubah hal ini dan menerapkan “Kriteria Peserta” (Participant Criteria). Kriteria Peserta akan memungkinkan jangkauan yang lebih luas dengan menyertakan semua operator yang menawarkan layanan melalui situs web mereka kepada penduduk Swedia. Sebagai bagian dari Kriteria Peserta, terdapat juga beberapa langkah teknis yang perlu diterapkan: Pemblokiran geografis (geo-blocking) akses dari Swedia Penerbitan peringatan otomatis bagi pelanggan yang dibatasi Penolakan layanan penuh jika lokasi pelanggan tidak dapat diverifikasi Selain hal di atas, pembatasan lebih lanjut akan mencakup pemblokiran pelanggan yang mencoba menghindari pembatasan menggunakan VPN atau mekanisme lainnya. Cara lain untuk membatasi akses bagi warga negara Swedia meliputi: Menghapus Swedia dari daftar negara yang memenuhi syarat untuk mendaftar Memblokir alamat, kode pos, dan nomor telepon Swedia yang diawali dengan +46 Mencegah transaksi yang melibatkan bank di Swedia Menolak penarikan atau penyetoran melalui lembaga keuangan Swedia Operator harus menyatakan dengan jelas dalam ketentuan mereka bahwa pengguna asal Swedia tidak diperbolehkan, namun regulator menekankan bahwa pernyataan hukum saja tidak cukup tanpa adanya penegakan teknis. Selain itu, semua pemasaran yang dapat diakses oleh audiens Swedia harus dihentikan. Perubahan yang diusulkan bertujuan untuk menutup celah regulasi dan menciptakan sistem yang lebih efektif untuk menangani perjudian yang tidak berizin. Jika diterapkan, Swedia akan bergerak menuju model penegakan hukum yang lebih ketat dan berbasis teknologi yang berfokus pada akses, bukan pada niat.

Superbet meluncurkan taruhan olahraga dan iGaming di Yunani

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Superbet secara resmi telah meluncurkan platform taruhan olahraga dan perjudiannya di Yunani, sebuah perkembangan lebih lanjut dalam ekspansi perusahaan di seluruh Eropa. Operator melaporkan bahwa di Yunani mereka akan memprioritaskan peliputan acara olahraga lokal dan keterlibatan dengan komunitas setempat. Untuk tujuan ini, Superbet telah membentuk tim khusus untuk mengelola aktivitas harian, sementara fungsi "Supersocial" mereka akan meningkatkan koneksi dan motivasi pengguna saat bertaruh. John Kalamvokis, General Manager Superbet Yunani, mengatakan: Kami baru saja menulis bab pertama dari kisah sukses masa depan yang akan terungkap melalui kemitraan yang berdampak dan proyek-proyek komunitas. Yunani semakin menjadi pasar yang populer bagi operator, dengan pendapatan kotor permainan (GGR) senilai sekitar €1,2 miliar (€1.200.000) yang dihasilkan di pasar saat ini dan diperkirakan akan terus meningkat di masa depan. GGR di Yunani tumbuh dengan tingkat pertumbuhan tahunan gabungan sebesar 15% per tahun dan memiliki sekitar 20 merek berlisensi yang mencari pangsa pasar. Operator teratas di Yunani adalah OPAP dengan merek Stoiximan mereka, menguasai hampir 50% industri taruhan olahraga online yang diatur. Selain itu, Athena telah berkembang menjadi pusat operasi iGaming regional dengan beberapa tim teknologi, perdagangan, dan operasi yang dominan. Platform taruhan Superbet Yunani mencakup opsi taruhan olahraga pada beberapa cabang olahraga utama seperti sepak bola, bola basket, dan tenis, yang memungkinkan taruhan pra-pertandingan dan langsung. Perusahaan menyatakan bahwa produk permainan mereka mengikuti regulasi nasional dan sepenuhnya disesuaikan dengan pengalaman lokal. Adam Lamentowicz, CCO untuk Eropa Tengah dan Timur di Superbet, mengatakan: Ini melampaui sekadar masuk pasar yang biasa. Ini adalah komitmen jangka panjang untuk membangun ekosistem hiburan paling menarik di negara ini dan mendekatkan orang melalui kegembiraan dan semangat bersama untuk kompetisi olahraga.

Gibraltar memberlakukan operator pasar prediksi pertama iGame

Gibraltar memberlakukan operator pasar prediksi pertama

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Gibraltar telah melisensikan operator pasar prediksinya yang pertama, demikian disampaikan Menteri Kehakiman, Perdagangan, dan Industri Nigel Feetham kepada parlemen pada hari Selasa. “Kami berharap ini akan menjadi area pertumbuhan yang substansial bagi Gibraltar,” kata menteri tersebut mengenai vertikal pasar prediksi. “Lisensi baru telah diterbitkan, meskipun Undang-Undang Perjudian yang baru belum diberlakukan dan lisensi baru harus diterbitkan berdasarkan undang-undang sebelumnya. “Ini merupakan waktu tercepat dalam penerbitan lisensi regulasi di Gibraltar,” tambahnya. Menurut daftar lisensi perjudian Gibraltar, Predict Street Ltd dilisensikan sebagai perantara taruhan pada 26 Maret di bawah Undang-Undang Perjudian 2005. Situs web Predictstreet.io mengklaim sebagai mitra pasar prediksi resmi dari Piala Dunia Fifa 2026 mendatang. Situs webnya menunjukkan hitungan mundur peluncuran pada 9 April. Ini didukung oleh penyedia blockchain yang berbasis di Abu Dhabi, ADI Chain. Menunjukkan Kemampuan Gibraltar untuk Beradaptasi Berbicara di parlemen, Feetham mencatat langkah ini menandai kemampuan Gibraltar untuk beradaptasi dengan cepat, terutama setelah kenaikan pajak perjudian di Inggris mengancam sektor game signifikan semenanjung tersebut, yang utamanya melayani pasar Inggris. “Sejak diperkenalkannya kenaikan bea perjudian Inggris baru-baru ini, saya telah mengambil tanggung jawab yang lebih langsung untuk mempromosikan penawaran regulasi Gibraltar,” tambahnya. Kenaikan Bea Permainan Jarak Jauh (Remote Gaming Duty) dan Bea Taruhan Jarak Jauh (Remote Betting Duty), yang pertama di antaranya mulai berlaku hari ini, diperkirakan akan sangat memukul Gibraltar, dan dapat meningkatkan tarif pajak bagi operator yang berbasis di Gibraltar menjadi antara 80% dan 100%. Gibraltar mempekerjakan sekitar 3.500 orang secara langsung, menurut angka yang dikutip dalam debat parlemen Inggris baru-baru ini. Sektor perjudian wilayah tersebut juga menghasilkan sekitar sepertiga dari pendapatan pajaknya. Feetham mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan pada 1 Desember: “Ini adalah masalah yang sangat penting bagi Gibraltar dan yang dapat secara langsung maupun tidak langsung memengaruhi pendapatan publik kami.” Akankah pasar prediksi berkembang di Eropa? Gibraltar adalah pasar pertama yang secara langsung melisensikan operator pasar prediksi di Eropa, meskipun Malta minggu lalu mengatakan juga sedang mengerjakan kerangka regulasi untuk melisensikan vertikal tersebut secara lokal. Pada 26 Maret, Menteri Ekonomi Malta Silvio Schembri mengatakan bahwa pihaknya “secara aktif menjajaki bidang pasar prediksi yang sedang berkembang, sebuah area yang mengalami momentum global yang cepat dan menyajikan peluang signifikan untuk inovasi”. Dia menjelaskan bahwa setiap perubahan pada undang-undang perlu “didukung oleh kerangka legislatif yang jelas dan berwawasan ke depan yang memungkinkannya berkembang secara bertanggung jawab dan dalam skala besar”. Lebih jauh lagi, pasar-pasar lain telah mengambil sikap yang tampaknya keras terhadap pasar prediksi, yang menghadapi pengawasan dari regulator perjudian negara bagian di AS. Jerman dan Belanda memiliki aturan ketat terhadap pasar kebaruan dalam taruhan olahraga. Pasar prediksi sebagian besar diperlakukan sebagai perjudian ilegal atau instrumen keuangan tidak berlisensi di pasar seperti Belanda dan Prancis. Keduanya telah memblokir operator terkemuka Polymarket untuk beroperasi. Ismail Vali, presiden perusahaan RegTech Gaming Compliance International (GCI), baru-baru ini mengatakan kepada iGB bahwa data lalu lintas dan keterlibatan menunjukkan pasar prediksi masih menarik pengguna Eropa meskipun ada larangan resmi.

Di dalamplaybook perubahan arah CEO Delta Ed Bastian—dari kebangkrutan menjadi maskapai penerbangan paling menguntungkan di AS

April 1, 2026
Dalam CEO Daily hari ini: Pemimpin Redaksi Alyson Shontell berbincang dengan CEO Delta Ed Bastian. Kisah kepemimpinan besar: meranking 100 Perusahaan Terbaik untuk Bekerja. Pasar: Reli global sedang berlangsung karena Trump mengatakan perang Iran akan berakhir dalam beberapa minggu. Plus: Semua berita dan obrolan santai dari . (SeaPRwire) - Selamat pagi. Ed Bastian telah menjadi CEO Delta Air Lines selama satu dekade dan seorang eksekutif di perusahaan tersebut selama hampir 30 tahun. Sebagai CFO dan presiden, Bastian memimpin maskapai penerbangan tersebut melalui perubahan signifikan yang dimulai dengan mengajukan kebangkrutan pada tahun 2008. Semua itu membuahkan hasil: Hari ini, Delta adalah maskapai penerbangan paling menguntungkan di Amerika. Delta menikmati gelar ini meskipun fakta bahwa mereka memberikan sebagian keuntungan kepada 100.000 karyawannya setiap tahun—dan sebagian berkat kemitraan jangka panjang dengan American Express, yang telah dipupuk Bastian menjadi sangat menguntungkan. Kartu Delta-Amex sekarang bertanggung jawab atas lebih dari 10% total pendapatan Delta. Saya terbang ke markas besar Delta di Atlanta untuk mewawancarai Bastian untuk podcast 500: Titans and Disruptors of Industry , dan kami duduk di antara pesawat-pesawat bersejarah di hanggar museum perusahaan maskapai tersebut dan berbicara selama hampir satu jam tentang buku pedoman kepemimpinannya. Ketika kami berbicara tentang strategi perubahannya, Bastian menyebutkan dua perubahan mikro lainnya yang mengarahkan ulang perusahaan: perubahan total merek dan pembangunan kembali budaya tim: Menciptakan merek, bukan komoditas. Dua dekade lalu, "Ketika Anda bertanya kepada orang-orang mengapa mereka memilih maskapai penerbangan untuk penerbangan tertentu mereka, 80% dari waktu jawabannya adalah siapa pun yang memiliki harga terendah," kata Bastian kepada saya. "Hari ini, jika Anda bertanya kepada orang-orang mengapa mereka memilih Delta, 80% akan mengatakan [itu] karena ini adalah Delta, karena pengalaman, mereknya; 20% adalah hal-hal lainnya. Jadi benar-benar terbalik. Dan itulah hal terpenting, dibayar untuk layanan hebat yang dilakukan orang-orang kami." Memberikan alasan bagi orang-orang Delta untuk percaya dan tanggung jawab untuk membuatnya berhasil. "Anda harus memberi tahu orang-orang Anda bahwa Anda mendukung mereka dan menempatkan mereka di depan, alih-alih manajemen yang berada di depan," kata Bastian. "Kami tidak terobsesi pada pelanggan, secara khusus, di tingkat kepemimpinan, karena kami ingin terobsesi pada orang-orang kami sendiri, sehingga mereka dapat terobsesi pada Anda sebagai pelanggan. Ketika orang-orang Anda tahu bahwa Anda mendukung mereka, hal-hal luar biasa bisa terjadi. Itu telah hilang, dan membawanya kembali, serta mendapatkan kembali kepercayaan dan keyakinan mereka, sangatlah kunci." Mengingat poin terakhir itu, tidak mengherankan jika Delta berada di 10 besar edisi terbaru dari 100 Best Companies to Work For. Anda dapat menemukan daftar itu di sini. Untuk informasi lebih lanjut tentang bagaimana Bastian memimpin, ke mana dia melihat industri penerbangan menuju, dan mengapa AI tidak akan menggeser pendekatan yang mengutamakan orang-orangnya di Delta, dengarkan wawancara lengkap kami di sini.—Alyson ShontellHubungi CEO Daily melalui Diane Brady di diane.brady@.comArtikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

China Risun (01907.HK) Reports Strong 37.7% Net Profit Surge in 2025 Amid Industry Challenges

April 1, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Risun Group Limited ("China Risun" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; Stock Code: 1907.HK), a leading global integrated coke, coking chemicals, and refined chemicals producer and supplier, as well as a relevant operation management services provider, recently announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The financial report reveals that, despite a market environment characterized by cyclical downturns in the prices of major products, the Group achieved a significant increase in net profit through effective cost control, operational optimization, and business structure adjustment, while continuing to make breakthroughs in the fields of hydrogen energy and high-end refined chemicals.Financial Performance: Profit Growth and Improved Operational EfficiencyFor the 2025 financial year, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB 39.286 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of about 17.4% from RMB 47.543 billion in the Last Year. The decline in revenue was primarily due to an across-the-board drop in the prices of coke and major chemical products, as both the ferrous and chemical industry chains faced a market landscape of "strong supply and weak demand." Despite the top-line pressure, the Group demonstrated strong operational resilience through strict cost control. During the Year, the cost of sales and services decreased by 17.8% year-on-year, outpacing the decline in revenue. Consequently, the Group's gross profit reached RMB 3.064 billion, with the gross profit margin expanding by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year to 7.8%. More notably, the profit for the Year achieved a counter-cyclical growth, reaching approximately RMB 135 million, representing a significant increase of about 37.7% from RMB 97.80 million in the Last Year. Net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB 3.46 billion, a year-on-year surge of 140%, far exceeding the net profit, which indicates further enhanced risk-resistance capabilities and significantly improved earnings quality.Basic earnings per share of the Company for the Year stood at RMB 1.3 cents, a substantial year-on-year increase of 160%, reflecting the growth in profit attributable to the owners of the Company and the positive impact of share repurchases. The Board proposed a final dividend of RMB 0.19 cents per share, amounting to a total of approximately RMB 8.13 million, continuing its solid policy of rewarding shareholders.Business Highlights: Consolidating Coke Leadership, Expanding Operation Management, and Advancing High-End Chemicals & Hydrogen EnergyAs the cornerstone of its business, the Group's coke and coking chemicals manufacturing segment demonstrated distinct cost advantages during the price downtrend cycle. By optimizing coal blending and implementing cost reduction and efficiency improvement strategies, the segment's gross profit margin increased from 8.6% in the Last Year to 12.4%. During the Year, the first coke oven of a new coke project with an annual capacity of 1.8 million tons in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province commenced operation, further consolidating the Group's economies of scale in production capacity.The operation management and trading businesses have become vital portfolio components for smoothing out cyclical fluctuations. Although revenue from operation management services decreased due to the completion of certain management agreements, the Group secured two new operation management projects in Jilin and Shanxi provinces during the Year, continuing to expand its industry influence. To date, the Group operates 9 management service projects, mainly distributed across Henan, Jilin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, and other provinces, managing a total scale of 8.282 million tons and achieving a 6-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Meanwhile, revenue from the trading business grew by 25.6% year-on-year, effectively supplementing the cash flow.Innovation and high-end transition remain the core driving forces for the Group's development. In the refined chemicals sector, the Group successfully developed and commenced production of the first domestic 5,000 tons/year amino alcohol (2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) project at its Dingzhou Production Base, thereby becoming the world's second-largest producer of amino alcohol. The product has successfully passed the EU REACH registration, paving the way into high-value-added markets such as high-end coatings and pharmaceuticals. Caprolactam, another core product, maintained its solid market position while continuously optimizing costs through technological innovation.The accelerated rollout of the hydrogen energy business is one of the most promising growth drivers in the financial report. The Group's high-purified hydrogen production volume increased by 25.7% year-on-year, capturing an approximate 21.8% market share in North China. Crucially, the Group initiated the construction of the nation's first 5 tons/day liquid hydrogen demonstration project at the Dingzhou Production Base in Hebei Province. This project has been selected for the national-level list of the first major technological equipment in the energy sector, marking a significant technological breakthrough in the hydrogen storage and transportation segment and laying a solid foundation for future commercial applications.Financial Strategy: Robust Cash Flows and Shareholder ReturnsDuring the Year, net cash generated from operating activities improved significantly to approximately RMB 3.465 billion, primarily benefiting from the strengthened management of trade receivables. Despite actively managing capital expenditures for future development, the Group maintained ample liquidity. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group's unutilized banking facilities amounted to approximately RMB 8.036 billion, providing strong support for ongoing business expansion.The Group also actively utilized capital market tools to optimize its capital structure and reward shareholders. During the Year, the Company spent approximately RMB 180 million to repurchase shares and granted share awards to nearly 800 employees under the Share Award Plan, aiming to incentivize the team and share the fruits of corporate development.Future Outlook: Launching the New Five-Year Plan, Focusing on Green Transition and Industrial UpgradeIn its latest financial report, the Group announced that it has formulated its Seventh Five-Year Development Plan for the period from 2026 to 2030. Looking ahead, China Risun will continue to increase its market share in the coke, refined chemicals, and hydrogen-energy products markets through capacity expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures. Particularly in the hydrogen energy sector, the Group will actively seize policy opportunities under China's "15th Five-Year Plan," aiming to become a clean and low-carbon hydrogen energy supplier, while exploring the industrialization of liquid hydrogen and the construction of integrated hydrogen-energy stations.Faced with a complex market environment in 2025, the Group achieved counter-cyclical profitability improvements relying on its integrated and industrial-park-based operational model, exceptional cost-control capabilities, and forward-looking R&D innovation. Entering the new Five-Year Plan cycle, China Risun will resolutely drive the green transition and high-end upgrade of the coking industry, cultivate refined chemicals into a crucial "second growth curve", continuously expand its global footprint, and deepen technological innovation. The Group is committed to achieving a higher level of sustainable development and accelerating its green and low-carbon transformation, while continuing to deliver long-term value and superior returns to shareholders.

Belgium gambling market records first decline since pandemic in 2024 stats → Belgia, pasar perjudian mencatat penurunan pertama sejak pandemi pada statistik 2024 iGame

Belgium gambling market records first decline since pandemic in 2024 stats → Belgia, pasar perjudian mencatat penurunan pertama sejak pandemi pada statistik 2024

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Pasar perjudian teratur Belgia mengalami kontraksi pada tahun 2024, menandai penurunan tahunan pertama sejak awal pandemi Covid-19 pada tahun 2020. Angka baru yang dirilis oleh regulator perjudian Belgia pada hari Selasa menunjukkan bahwa total pendapatan kotor perjudian (GGR) di seluruh operator berlisensi turun sebesar 4,86% dibanding tahun sebelumnya menjadi 1,61 miliar euro. Penurunan ini terutama didorong oleh penurunan signifikan aktivitas perjudian fisik, meskipun perjudian online, yang masih menjadi segmen terbesar, hanya mengalami pengurangan sedikit. Total GGR untuk tahun 2024 adalah 1,61 miliar euro. GGR online mencapai 919,10 juta euro (57,1% dari total), turun 2,7% dibanding tahun sebelumnya. Sementara itu GGR darat dilaporkan sebesar 690,41 juta euro (42,9% dari total), turun 7,59%. Sektor berlisensi dibagi menjadi empat bagian; kasino, lisensi arcade, perjudian taruhan rendah, dan operator taruhan. GGR kasino naik sebesar 7,32% menjadi 638,45 juta euro, dengan kasino online menyumbang tiga perempat dari pendapatan ini. Sementara itu, lisensi arcade turun sebesar 11,95% menjadi 384,75 juta euro. Secara khusus terjadi penurunan 23,8% pada aktivitas online, sementara pendapatan offline meningkat sebesar 4,24%. Untuk perjudian taruhan rendah, GGR turun tajam sebesar 21,71% menjadi 222 juta euro, sementara bingo di kafe juga turun sebesar 24,7%. GGR taruhan olahraga turun sebesar 6,59% menjadi 364,3 juta euro; taruhan offline turun 13,58%, dengan taruhan online turun sedikit sebesar 2,11%. Industri yang Melihat ke Dalam Perjudian online tetap mendominasi dengan saluran online menghasilkan lebih dari setengah (57%) total GGR. Tren ini dipercepat selama pandemi Covid. Segmen kasino menunjukkan pertumbuhan pada pendapatan offline (+3,7%) dan online (+8,7%). Taruhan offline sangat terpengaruh dengan toko taruhan dan gerai mengalami penurunan GGR sebesar 17,9% dibanding tahun sebelumnya, sebagian karena jumlah lisensi toko taruhan turun dari 535 menjadi 408 dalam dua tahun. Toko gerai retail juga melaporkan penurunan penjualan yang moderat, meskipun taruhan online tetap relatif stabil. GGR taruhan olahraga naik sebesar 4% sementara sebaliknya taruhan balap kuda dan taruhan lainnya mengalami penurunan tajam, masing-masing turun 32,8% dan 44,7%. Perubahan Regulasi Mempengaruhi Kinerja Pasar Regulator perjudian Belgia menyatakan penurunan ini disebabkan oleh beberapa langkah regulasi yang diperkenalkan sejak 2023, yang telah mempengaruhi kinerja pasar legal. Hal ini termasuk larangan situs gabungan. Operator dilarang menyediakan produk dari beberapa jenis lisensi di satu platform. Hal ini memiliki dampak yang signifikan pada pemegang lisensi arcade. Beberapa operator menyatukan penawaran di situs kasino atau taruhan, sehingga menyebabkan perpindahan pendapatan antar kategori lisensi. Hal ini juga termasuk peningkatan usia minimum perjudian dari 18 menjadi 21 tahun, larangan bonus, peraturan periklanan yang lebih ketat, dan pemeriksaan ID/Epis yang diberlakukan. Pembatasan periklanan menjadi fokus khusus bagi regulator Belgia, yang ditandai dengan penyelidikan baru-baru ini terhadap aktivitas promosi terkenal yang melibatkan pemain sepak bola profesional Eden Hazard. Penyesuaian regulasi ini, meskipun dirancang untuk memperkuat perjudian bertanggung jawab, telah memperlambat pertumbuhan. Regulator juga memperingatkan bahwa masih belum pasti apakah peraturan ini telah berhasil meningkatkan perlindungan pemain. Kontraksi Keseluruhan Pertama Sejak 2020 GGR online di Belgia mengalami pertumbuhan kuat dari 2020 hingga 2023, dengan peningkatan kumulatif sekitar 60% selama tahun-tahun tersebut dan pertumbuhan 18% pada tahun 2023 saja. Regulator menekankan perlunya penelitian segera untuk menilai apakah pemain telah beralih ke saluran tidak teratur. Ia juga mencatat keterlambatan dan ringkasan dalam pelaporan 2024. Hal ini disebabkan oleh perubahan proses pelaporan keuangan dan kekurangan staf di unit pengendalian keuangan. Angka pasar 2025 diharapkan akan dirilis segera.

New York Mengusulkan Larangan Penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan dalam Iklan Taruhan Olahraga iGame

New York Mengusulkan Larangan Penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan dalam Iklan Taruhan Olahraga

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - New York State Gaming Commission sedang mempertimbangkan sejumlah peraturan baru yang secara dramatis akan meningkatkan perlindungan bagi para petaruh olahraga di negara bagian tersebut. Regulator New York berupaya melindungi petaruh dari pengembangan kecanduan judi, serta mengurangi akses individu di bawah umur ke pasar taruhan olahraga. Jika berhasil diusulkan, operator taruhan berlisensi tidak akan lagi diizinkan menggunakan kecerdasan buatan untuk menargetkan dan menyesuaikan penawaran taruhan. Operator akan diwajibkan untuk mengidentifikasi pemain yang berisiko dan membatasi pemasaran langsung mereka kepada mereka, serta menerapkan program intervensi resmi. Setiap operator juga akan diwajibkan untuk menerapkan sistem untuk secara otomatis menandai pemain-pemain ini dan memicu proses intervensi berdasarkan indikator perilaku tertentu; seperti deposit berlebihan, terlalu banyak penarikan yang dibatalkan, dan peningkatan aktivitas taruhan yang luar biasa besar. Gubernur Kathy Hochul mengatakan: Taruhan olahraga seluler ada di mana-mana, memikat semua orang termasuk kaum muda kita untuk memasang taruhan tanpa sepenuhnya mempertimbangkan konsekuensinya. Kita membutuhkan perlindungan regulasi yang kuat untuk mencegah mereka yang berusia di bawah 21 tahun berjudi, mencegah kecerdasan buatan memangsa penjudi, dan mewajibkan operator taruhan olahraga mengambil tindakan nyata jika salah satu pelanggan mereka menunjukkan tanda-tanda bahaya perjudian. Regulator juga sedang menyelidiki kemungkinan penggunaan identifikasi biometrik untuk membantu mencegah perjudian di bawah umur, serta membantu keamanan akun melalui pengenalan wajah atau sidik jari, selain menciptakan kontrol geolokasi yang lebih kuat dan menjatuhkan sanksi kepada individu yang mengizinkan anak di bawah umur mengakses situs taruhan olahraga atau lokasi taruhan ritel. Ketua NYSGC Brian O’Dwyer mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan: Seperti yang disoroti dengan tepat oleh Gubernur Hochul: Tidak ada bentuk perjudian lain yang merasuki kesadaran kita seperti taruhan olahraga, dan anak-anak yang mudah terpengaruh terus-menerus terpapar praktik tersebut. Sesuai arahannya, kami telah mengidentifikasi cara-cara tambahan untuk melindungi kaum muda kami, membantu mereka yang membutuhkan pada titik krisis, dan menjaga permainan yang dilegalkan dan diatur tetap aman bagi semua warga New York. Kami menantikan masukan dari publik mengenai proposal-proposal penting ini. Draf peraturan tersebut saat ini dibuka untuk komentar publik hingga pukul 12 siang pada pertengahan Mei, sementara New York menempatkan perlindungan pemain di garis depan industri taruhan olahraganya yang berkembang pesat.

CTF Life Collaborates with the HKMC to Refer the Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme and the Reverse Mortgage Programme

April 1, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CTF Life announced today a new collaboration with The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (“HKMC”), which aimed at offering customers an additional option for managing their wealth after retirement. By introducing referrals for the “Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme” (“PRMP”) and the “Reverse Mortgage Programme” (“RMP”)1, the partnership combines CTF Life’s retirement product with the HKMC’s reverse mortgage solutions to deliver more comprehensive retirement planning support that meets customers’ financial needs at every stage of life.As Hong Kong’s population ages rapidly, the need for stronger retirement protection is growing. According to the latest projection2 from the Census and Statistics Department, the proportion of people aged 65 or above in Hong Kong is expected to rise significantly from 20.6% in 2021 to 36% in 2046, a clear sign of the city’s ageing trend. As citizens live longer and spend more years in retirement, their living expenses are set to rise, driving demand for stable, sustainable income and thoughtful financial planning. In support of the Government’s initiatives to encourage early retirement planning and promote the silver economy, CTF Life has partnered with the HKMC to promote the PRMP and the RMP. These two programmes aim to provide customers with a stable income to enhance the quality of retirement life, supporting them with diverse and reliable retirement solutions.Man Kit Ip, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, said, “Hong Kong’s rapidly ageing population is driving demand for more comprehensive retirement planning solutions. We are pleased to partner with the HKMC to introduce the PRMP and the RMP through referrals, which complement CTF Life’s product suite to provide customers with stable income streams and an additional wealth management option in retirement, helping customers build well-rounded retirement solutions and reinforce our commitment to creating value beyond insurance.”Colin Pou, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited, said, “The PRMP and the RMP help retirees convert their life insurance policies or their residential properties into steady monthly payouts, generating lifelong streams of income, thereby enhancing the quality of their retirement lives. We are pleased to collaborate with CTF Life to introduce the PRMP and the RMP to more clients, and to jointly support the Government’s initiative to address the ageing society and promote silver economy.”CTF Life’s @MyLove Insurance Plan II3 is an eligible life insurance product under the PRMP, allowing customers to use their insurance policies as collateral to apply for monthly or lump-sum payouts to meet their retirement financial needs. The plan provides life protection up to 100 years of age, together with extra accidental death benefit during the first 10 policy years, flexible premium payment options, premium prepayment options, a guaranteed cash value, plus annual dividend and terminal dividend to help customers further grow their wealth. At the same time, through the RMP, customers can convert property value into a stable cash flow. When combined with the ongoing protection provided by life insurance products, this enables a more flexible approach to asset utilisation and delivers dual, stable support for retirement wealth planning.Notes:1.The Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme and the Reverse Mortgage Programme are operated by HKMC Insurance Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited. For further information, please refer to The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited website: www.hkmc.com.hk.2.Census and Statistics: Hong Kong Population Projections for 2022 to 20463.@MyLove Insurance Plan II is an eligible life insurance plan under PRMP, but it does not necessarily mean that the customer’s PRMP application will be approved. The eligibility of this product under the PRMP is based on the features of the product. The customer and the life insurance policy are still required to meet the eligibility criteria under PRMP before applying for the policy reverse mortgage loan.Important Notice:- The information contained in this press release is intended as a general summary of information for reference only.
