特朗普限制郵寄投票的行政命令遭各州譴責 News

特朗普限制郵寄投票的行政命令遭各州譴責

(SeaPRwire) - 美國總統唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)於周二簽署一項行政命令,旨在建立各州合格選民名單並打擊郵寄投票,這是他基於無根據的大規模選舉舞弊指控企圖重塑美國選舉的最新嘗試。該命令距離11月中期選舉僅有數月時間,立即引來各州和選舉權倡導者提出法律挑戰的承諾。特朗普顯然預料到這類挑戰,將該命令描述為「萬無一失」,並補充說:「也許會受到考驗,也許不會。」根據該命令,美國國土安全部(Department of Homeland Security)將與社會保障局(Social Security Administration)協調,負責編製一份確認的美國公民名單,這些公民居住在各州,並將在即將到來的聯邦選舉時年滿18歲或以上。命令還禁止美國郵政服務(U.S. Postal Service)向未登記在該州郵寄或缺席選民名單中的任何人發送缺席選票。有八個州——加利福尼亞州、科羅拉多州、夏威夷州、內華達州、俄勒岡州、猶他州、佛蒙特州和華盛頓州——加上華盛頓特區,會自動向選民郵寄選票,無需他們提出申請或說明理由。 總統還命令USPS將選票放入帶有獨特可追蹤條碼的安全信封中。該命令授權司法部長帕姆·邦迪(Pam Bondi)調查向不合格選民發放選票的州和地方——並可能起訴相關地方官員。它還威脅要停止向不遵守規定的州和地方提供聯邦資金。在橢圓形辦公室舉行的命令簽署儀式上,總統重複了他那些已被駁斥的關於郵寄選票存在大規模選民舞弊的說法,而他本月早些時候在佛羅里達州的特別選舉中正是使用這種方式投票的。儘管特朗普抨擊這種做法,但他表示某些豁免是可以接受的,例如生病、殘疾、旅行或軍隊中的人。「郵寄投票中的作弊行為是眾所周知的,」他說。「發生的事情太可怕了。這非常清楚,非常非常清楚。所以我認為這對選舉會有很大幫助。」數月來,特朗普領導的司法部一直要求各州提供選民名冊,聲稱這是為了確保選舉的誠信和透明度。在地區和州官員拒絕交出這些名冊後,司法部起訴了華盛頓特區和29個州。該命令發布之際,特朗普正推動國會通過《拯救美國法案》(SAVE America Act),這項立法要求在登記投票前提供嚴格的公民身份證明,並在投票前提供有效身份證件。儘管由共和黨領導的眾議院通過了該法案,但它在參議院面臨艱鉅的鬥爭。「我們希望有選民身份證,我們希望有公民身份證明,」特朗普在橢圓形辦公室表示。「這將是另一個時間的另一個話題。」這不是特朗普第一次藉助行政命令來重塑選舉。一年前,他發布了一項行政命令,試圖對各州處理選舉的方式進行重大改革,其中部分內容已被法院阻止。被阻止的內容包括向不更改投票程序以滿足總統要求的州扣留聯邦選舉資金的指令。立即反對命令發布後不久,幾個州公開反對,譴責總統干預他們運行選舉的方式。特朗普此前曾敦促共和黨人「全國化」選舉,儘管憲法明確授權各州負責選舉。亞利桑那州州務卿阿德里安·方特斯(Adrian Fontes)在社交媒體上的視頻聲明中稱該命令「違憲」,並指出郵寄選票實際上是由共和黨人設計的,多年來一直讓共和黨(GOP)在該州執政。他在另一份聲明中還表示,郵寄投票系統服務於亞利桑那州80%的選民,該命令是「令人作嘔的越權行為」,顯示「特朗普政府對選舉管理瞭解甚少」。俄勒岡州州務卿托比亞斯·里德(Tobias Read)所在的州完全採用郵寄投票,他在社交媒體上稱總統的命令是「非法奪權」,並表示:「我們法庭上見。」緬因州州務卿申娜·貝洛(Shenna Bellows)表示,該州不會「提前服從」。根據佛羅里達大學選舉實驗室(University of Florida’s Election Lab)的數據,2024年,緬因州約90萬選民中有超過36萬人通過郵寄投票。內華達州州務卿弗朗西斯科·阿吉拉爾(Francisco Aguilar)所在的州2024年有近67萬人通過郵寄投票,他在聲明中表示,特朗普「多年來一直試圖在郵寄投票不存在危機的情況下製造危機」,他的言論只會「在選舉年中期給選民帶來混亂和困惑」。創辦媒體平台Democracy Docket的律師馬克·埃利亞斯(Marc Elias)在社交媒體上發帖稱,他計劃發起並贏得一項法律挑戰,聲稱特朗普的最新命令導致「針對民主黨人的大規模剝奪選舉權」。無黨派組織Center for Election Innovation & Research的執行主任戴維·貝克(David Becker)同樣告訴MS NOW,沒有理由恐慌,因為特朗普的命令明顯違憲。「有些人可能會對此感到恐慌,但老實說,這很荒謬,」貝克說。「他不妨簽署一項禁止重力的行政命令(EO)。」——康納·格林(Connor Greene)協助報導。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Search Ongoing for Second Suspect in $1.3 Million Missouri Casino Heist iGame

Search Ongoing for Second Suspect in $1.3 Million Missouri Casino Heist

(AsiaGameHub) - A strange daylight heist occurred at the Isle of Capri Casino in Missouri last week, resulting in the arrest of a security guard connected to the crime. Authorities are still actively searching for a second suspect who escaped with nearly $1.3 million from the casino. An Inside Man Makes All the Difference The robbery appeared to be proceeding as planned, and the perpetrators might have successfully evaded capture or identification for a significant period. However, a casino patron stepped in to confront the thieves. This intervention allowed police to apprehend 21-year-old Benjamin Michael-Dass Charles, who was employed as a security guard at the facility. His accomplice, 20-year-old Hollis C. Vanleer Jr., remains at large, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol is currently working to take him into custody. The incident unfolded in broad daylight at 2:13 pm when two masked individuals armed with AR-15-style rifles entered the casino. The suspects, believed to be Vanleer and an associate, quickly accessed the casino’s bank area and filled a duffel bag with $1,276,000. As they neared the exit, a customer intervened and tackled one of the men. The second suspect returned and struck the patron in the face until his partner was able to break free. The pair fled in a 1998 Ford Taurus, which was later discovered abandoned in Howard County. Inside the vehicle, investigators found a receipt for a purchase made with a card belonging to Charles, enabling officers to identify at least one participant and arrest him on Friday, March 27. The Jig Is Up for the Security Guard Charles was working his shift during the robbery, which was part of the scheme. He is considered the mastermind behind the operation, particularly since a weapon registered to him was recovered from the abandoned getaway car. Charles spent approximately a month planning the heist, including coordinating his accomplices' movements on the gaming floor and determining the optimal time to strike. Police also discovered explosive devices in the vehicle, which Charles stated were intended to serve as a diversion. Regarding the stolen money and the rifles, Charles confessed to transporting them out of state. He faces charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault, armed criminal action, possession of explosive weapons, and tampering with physical evidence, while the search for his accomplices continues.

Nepal’s Prime Minister, Former Rapper, Blocks Access to Gambling Sites iGame

Nepal’s Prime Minister, Former Rapper, Blocks Access to Gambling Sites

(AsiaGameHub) - Nepal's newly appointed prime minister, 35-year-old former rapper Balendra Shah, assumed office on Friday, March 27. His first major action was a directive to shut down online betting platforms and applications. Fulfilling a campaign pledge, Balen has ordered a block on internet gambling as part of a larger effort to enhance governance and oversight. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology is tasked with implementing this order and ensuring operators are restricted within the nation. Although gambling is already prohibited in Nepal, the prime minister is focusing on preventing international operators from targeting local residents despite existing bans. This initiative addresses rising worries regarding the social and financial consequences of online wagering, especially for the youth. The prime minister demanded access be blocked within 24 hours, signaling a push for immediate action. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must now execute this order to stop citizens from reaching gambling portals. The success of this initiative will hinge on the speed at which authorities can detect illicit sites and mandate ISP restrictions. Conversely, unauthorized websites, particularly those determined to reach players, will likely circumvent these measures by utilizing mirror sites or changing domains.

BetMGM Discontinues Credit Card Acceptance, Blocks New Applications iGame

BetMGM Discontinues Credit Card Acceptance, Blocks New Applications

(AsiaGameHub) - BetMGM has formally discontinued the use of credit cards for its sportsbook and online casino services. The operator confirmed that, effective Tuesday, March 31, it is blocking all new credit card registrations. BetMGM Ends New Credit Card Use – Begins Phasing Existing Ones Out Users who have previously deposited bonuses or funds using their current credit cards will be permitted to use those balances before their cards are also deactivated. This process will be gradual, but BetMGM has taken a firm stance, aligning with a broader industry movement where other gambling giants are also abandoning this payment method due to consumer protection concerns. However, the move to halt credit card use is driven by a more extensive business logic. BetMGM was recently penalized $100,000 in Pennsylvania after the state's gaming board found that thousands of accounts were fraudulently opened using stolen identities. Eliminating credit card payments will assist BetMGM in addressing comparable fraud incidents going forward. Restricting this deposit option would directly enhance consumer safety and also complicate efforts for bad actors to exploit stolen information. Deeper Business Rationale as Credit Cards Ban Is Good for Companies From a financial perspective, firms also have minimal incentive to avoid this course of action. Per Citizens JMP Securities analyst Jordan Bender, DraftKings, which ceased taking credit card payments in September, has seen no major negative fallout. The industry consensus is that prohibiting credit cards does not materially affect company profitability. FanDuel and DraftKings already function in several jurisdictions that prohibit credit cards for funding gambling accounts, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, and others. While a credit card ban offers public relations benefits, it primarily fulfills a more significant regulatory and financial objective for gambling operators.

The company stated that the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to its earnings upon completion. John Payne, president and chief operating officer of VICI Properties: "We are very excited to deepen and expand our presence in the Canadian gaming market, a very steady and stable gaming jurisdiction, alongside an existing partner."

Lisa of Blackpink to Become the First K-Pop Star with a Las Vegas Residency

(AsiaGameHub) - Las Vegas is set to welcome Lisa, the Blackpink member and K-Pop artist. This engagement marks the first residency for a K-Pop star in Sin City and has been aptly titled “Viva La Visa.” The shows will take place across two weekends at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace – on November 13-14 and November 27-28. Lisa brings a strong repertoire for fans, including her solo album "Alter Ego" from last year and a recently released EP titled “Deadline.” Las Vegas residencies have consistently attracted both tourists and performers who are comfortable with repeated shows in one venue. Metallica recently announced their own residency at The Sphere, scheduled to begin on October 1, 2026. Earlier this year in February, the Backstreet Boys confirmed a third extension of their residency at the same venue. Artists from across the globe have made it a tradition to perform regularly in Las Vegas.

Confirmed: Super Bowl Set to Return to Las Vegas in 2029 iGame

Confirmed: Super Bowl Set to Return to Las Vegas in 2029

(AsiaGameHub) - Las Vegas will play host to the Super Bowl in 2029, as Allegiant Stadium has been selected to hold the game for the second time after its first hosting gig in 2024. The Decision Is Official NFL team owners voted to approve the widely anticipated choice during a gathering in Phoenix, confirming a result many insiders had predicted for months. That inaugural Las Vegas-hosted Super Bowl ended with Kansas City beating San Francisco 25-22 in overtime, and the event left a lasting positive impression on league leadership. For many years, though, the NFL avoided holding the event in Las Vegas, primarily due to concerns related to legalized sports wagering. But stances have evolved as the city has steadily developed into a leading national sports hub. “We’re Excited to Bring the Super Bowl Back to Las Vegas” Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed enthusiasm for the announcement, citing the city’s proven capacity to execute large-scale, high-profile events. “We’re excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America’s greatest sports and entertainment destinations,” he said. Goodell also emphasized the positive impact of the 2024 event. “Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy, and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders, and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around.” The NFL’s upcoming Super Bowl hosting lineup is already fully locked in, with California set to host next year’s game in Inglewood, followed by Atlanta in 2028, before Las Vegas takes its turn as host in 2029. “A Testament” to the Raiders, the NFL, and the Community Raiders owner Mark Davis attributed the return of the game to years of coordinated planning and cross-group collaboration. “It’s a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, the community, and the NFL working together as one,” he said. “Super Bowl LVIII set a high bar, and for Super Bowl LXIII we are committed to raising it even further.” Las Vegas has built a strong reputation as a dependable host for major sporting events. Since the Raiders relocated to the city in 2020, it has also hosted the 2022 NFL Draft, and is scheduled to put on a number of other high-profile events in the coming years, including the College Football Playoff national championship and the Final Four. NFL executive Peter O’Reilly stated that the success of Las Vegas’ first Super Bowl made the approval decision an easy one. “Clearly, Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas was a tremendous success,” he said. “Every element of that, everything that Las Vegas brought to bear, the energy, the size, the scale, the hospitality. That’s why Las Vegas is the host of so many premier sports and entertainment events,” added O’Reilly. This article is provided by a third-party.

New York Moves to Curb Youth Betting and AI in Gambling Reform iGame

New York Moves to Curb Youth Betting and AI in Gambling Reform

(AsiaGameHub) - New York is gearing up for a comprehensive revamp of its sports betting regulations, prioritizing the protection of minors and mitigating the dangers associated with compulsive gambling. Spearheaded by Governor Kathy Hochul, this initiative implements a combination of technological barriers and enhanced supervision for betting operators throughout the state. New York Considers Biometric Checks and AI Restrictions in Gambling Enforcement These proposals arise from increasing anxiety regarding the swift expansion of mobile wagering apps, which officials fear are highly visible and accessible to younger demographics. State authorities contend that although wagering is limited to individuals 21 and older, minors have successfully circumvented these rules, frequently by utilizing accounts registered to another person’s identity. To seal these loopholes, regulators are evaluating a range of measures focused on identity verification. A primary consideration is the implementation of biometric authentication, mandating that users verify their identity both during account creation and prior to placing wagers. Further safeguards might involve device registration protocols and location monitoring intended to detect irregular access patterns or concurrent logins from geographically distant areas. A significant component of the strategy involves a proposed prohibition on utilizing artificial intelligence for marketing activities. Regulators worry that AI mechanisms used to customize promotions and recommend bets could negatively impact susceptible individuals. Within the new regulatory structure, operators would retain the ability to analyze user behavior for safety monitoring, but they would be barred from swaying betting choices via personalized incentives. New York Proposes Stepped Interventions for Hazardous Gambling Habits The regulatory updates also establish a systematic method for detecting risky gambling behavior. Operators would be mandated to intervene upon the activation of specific predefined “activity triggers” associated with emerging patterns. These indicators might include substantial deposits made in brief timeframes, frequent withdrawal cancellations, or sudden spikes in gambling duration. Upon the activation of a trigger, operators would be required to adhere to a tiered response protocol. The first phase would entail distributing details regarding responsible gambling resources. Should the problematic behavior persist, users could be compelled to view educational content. In escalated scenarios, operators would establish direct outreach and potentially suspend accounts. Continued warning signs could result in account termination and referrals to professional assistance programs. The accountability measures outlined in the proposals reach beyond just the operators. Adults discovered to have facilitated underage gambling risk being barred entirely from engaging in any legal gambling activities within the state. The New York State Gaming Commission has initiated a public consultation on the draft regulations, soliciting input from industry players, advocacy organizations, and citizens. The consultation window is scheduled to remain open until mid-May. Officials characterize the initiative as a component of a larger strategy to balance the financial advantages of legalized wagering with the imperative to protect public health, especially given the ongoing expansion of digital gambling.

MHI President Eisaku Ito Offers Words of Encouragement to New Employees at the Company’s 2026 Welcoming Ceremony

President Eisaku Ito welcomes new employees at the ceremonyTOKYO, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) held an entrance ceremony for the fiscal year 2026 at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa in Minato-ku, Tokyo. This year, as a new initiative, some of the new employees' families also participated in the ceremony online. President & CEO Eisaku Ito addressed over 1,100 new employees, offering words of encouragement and expressing his expectations that "each individual's diverse values and experiences will bring innovation to our Group."Summary of President Ito's MessageMaking the stable supply of energy and electricity and the establishment of strategic supply chains increasingly important, alongside heightened awareness of security. Labor shortages in developed countries and the aging of urban infrastructure also pose major challenges. Furthermore, the remarkable advances in AI technology are transforming industries. Against this backdrop, President & CEO Ito emphasized that "in times like these, it is essential to cherish the fundamentals of our company." He explained the origins of our Group and the three corporate principles that form our management philosophy, including "putting customers first and contributing to social progress through our business." He then spoke about the Group's vision and offered encouragement to the new employees. The key points are as follows:MHI Group VisionOur Group's mission is to "combine the technologies accumulated with cutting-edge knowledge, tackle evolving social challenges, and realize a prosperous life for people." We provide diverse products and services to a wide range of customers, supported by a common foundation of technologies, experts, and IT systems. Our Group owns over 700 technologies. Companies that possess both such diversity and a common foundation are rare worldwide. Therefore, our Group still has significant room for growth.To maximize our growth potential, we are promoting "Innovative Total Optimization (ITO)" throughout the company. ITO is based on two core concepts. The first is "Group-Wide Optimization," which means optimizing the value chain from sales to manufacturing and enabling lean business operations through the common foundation mentioned earlier. Additionally, by strengthening collaboration between businesses, sharing lessons learned from failures and early signs of changes in the business environment, we aim to enhance productivity and profitability. The second concept is "Scope Expansion," which anticipates latent needs and creates new value by "smartly connecting" different fields. By leveraging partnering and IT, we swiftly approach new customers and regions. Combining these approaches, we will provide new value to vastly more customers.This fiscal year marks the final year of the "2024 Business Plan," launched in fiscal 2024. Through achieving this plan and advancing ITO, we aim to realize a "virtuous cycle of high profitability and growth investment."Encouragement to New EmployeesOur Group fosters a culture where young employees can take on significant challenges early in their careers. When I was a student, I researched gas turbines and aspired to become an engineer in this field. I joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the only company in Japan independently developing gas turbines. I was entrusted with a project to develop a turbine for a new concept jet engine. I was involved in all manufacturing processes from planning to development, design, prototyping, and evaluation, which later became the foundation of our business. Since then, as an engineer, I have participated in various projects both domestically and internationally, and with each experience, including failures, I saw personal growth.The greatest appeal of our Group is its deep connection with society. There are countless opportunities to realize the desire to "contribute to society through manufacturing." Our business fields extend from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space.People are the core of our Group. To enhance individual capabilities, we provide various opportunities for challenges and growth. However, these opportunities are not only given but must also be actively pursued. We want you to identify social issues you are passionate about in your own life, align them with organizational goals, and continue to challenge yourself and grow.In your daily work, please especially keep in mind to "work cheerfully and enjoyably," "focus on the small tasks in front of you," and "be yourself." Mental and physical health are the foundation of life. When things are tough, there is actually an opportunity to rapidly develop your abilities. Also, small tasks support our Group's large businesses. The day will come when you will be entrusted with major work, so prepare thoroughly with humility and courage, and expand the areas where you can contribute. Be aware of how your work benefits society, set your own goals, and put them into practice.Our Group has many jobs that contribute to social progress, global-scale work, and work that only we can do. With the ambition and responsibility to proactively create and support society, let us maximize our Group's potential and continue to take on challenges on the global stage.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

Massachusetts Rolls Out New Responsible Gaming Program PlayWell iGame

Massachusetts Rolls Out New Responsible Gaming Program PlayWell

(AsiaGameHub) - Massachusetts has introduced PlayWell, a fresh initiative focused on responsible gambling and player wellness, which now serves as the state's successor to GameSense. The program will be integrated into sports betting platforms and casinos, providing assistance via telephone, online channels, and in-person interactions. Key Details PlayWell has taken over for GameSense throughout Massachusetts. Dedicated PlayWell Hubs were established at all casino locations on March 27. The initiative features PlayMyWay, a resource that allows users to establish daily wagering limits. PlayWell Introduces a State-Managed Framework According to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, this launch represents a significant milestone in the ongoing development of a robust player health infrastructure for the state's regulated gambling sector. In a shift from the previous model, PlayWell is entirely under the ownership of the commission, with the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health overseeing its day-to-day management. MGC Chair Jordan Maynard stated: “At the time gaming was legalized in the Commonwealth, it was vital to establish a premier program for research, responsible gaming, and player health to guarantee the industry's long-term success.”Maynard further noted that the new initiative, which is “developed, owned and operated by the MGC,” provides the commission with a more effective mechanism to assist residents seeking support. PlayWell also features physical hubs located at every casino across the state. These areas are designed to offer patrons a space to take a break, gain insights into gaming mechanics, or consult with professional advisors. Assistance is not restricted solely to those experiencing gambling issues; staff are available to engage with visitors individually and provide guidance on resources, information, and voluntary self-exclusion programs. Mark Vander Linden, the MGC’s Director of Research and Responsible Gaming, remarked: “PlayWell is tailored to the specific requirements of Massachusetts players. Utilizing research and evaluation, PlayWell advisors provide patrons with pertinent and timely information, tips, and resources, whether they are playing online or at a casino.”A primary component of the program is PlayMyWay, which the commission identifies as a pioneering tool that enables players to set daily limits on their gambling activity. MGM Springfield was among the casino operators to implement the program, with compliance director Daniel Miller emphasizing that the hubs are intended for all patrons, not just those currently experiencing difficulties. He stated: “These centers should truly be accessible to everyone. It is meant to encourage all visitors to stop by.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Louisiana Pushes Bill Tying Illegal Gambling to Racketeering iGame

Louisiana Pushes Bill Tying Illegal Gambling to Racketeering

(AsiaGameHub) - Louisiana legislators are taking steps to provide prosecutors with more robust tools to pursue illegal gambling cases. A measure that cleared the House would add multiple gambling-related offenses to the state’s racketeering legislation, making it simpler to classify large-scale operations as organized criminal activity, rather than addressing each infraction individually. Good to Know Louisiana House legislators approved HB 53 with overwhelming backing before advancing it to the Senate. The proposed legislation would incorporate multiple gambling-related offenses into the state’s racketeering statute. Prosecutors would have greater flexibility to pursue illegal gambling operations as coordinated criminal enterprises. House Bill 53, introduced by Representative Bryan Fontenot, cleared the Louisiana House on Monday with an 87-11 vote margin. The Senate subsequently held its first reading of the measure that same day, following an additional 86-11 vote, with a number of legislators choosing to abstain. The bill is currently listed on the Senate’s calendar for upcoming deliberation. To date, the measure has progressed with widespread backing, as Louisiana seeks more effective enforcement mechanisms for gambling-related cases. Additional Gambling Offenses Would Qualify for Racketeering Classification The legislation modifies the state’s racketeering structure by adding gambling-related offenses to the roster of crimes that can lead to racketeering charges. Under existing regulations, this list already includes specific behaviors linked to broader criminal patterns.HB 53 would expand this list to cover public gambling, computer-facilitated wagering, cockfighting-related betting, operation of electronic sweepstakes equipment, illegal betting by ineligible participants, and bribery of sports competitors. The core impact of the bill is clear. Rather than handling each gambling-related offense as an isolated incident, prosecutors would be able to construct cases based on the premise of a coordinated illegal operation. This provides the state with greater legal leverage in cases where gambling activity seems to be structured, ongoing, or connected across multiple separate acts. Louisiana is not the only jurisdiction taking this step. Legislators across multiple states have been working to address loopholes in gambling regulations and expand the application of existing criminal statutes in instances where illegal betting appears organized instead of being a one-off event.In Louisiana, the official legislative digest summed up HB 53 in plain language: current regulations will remain unchanged, but additional gambling-related offenses will be added to the state’s racketeering statute.

VCREDIT Releases 2025 Full-Year Results

HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - March 31 2026, VCREDIT Holdings Limited ("VCREDIT" or the "Group"; Stock Code: 2003.HK), a leading technology-driven consumer financial service provider in China, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Year").During the Year, as the external environment remained complex and challenging, the Group dynamically optimized its strategies and strengthened risk management to enhance operational efficiency. It also consolidated its business framework, committed to building a secure and compliant digital financial ecosystem. The Group adopted a prudent strategic approach, advancing steadily while dynamically assessing new market opportunities.During the Year, the Group's loan origination volume in the Chinese mainland reached RMB58.45 billion. Cumulative registered users increased to 171 million, representing an increase of 8.2% from the end of 2024. The Group's total income remained relatively stable at RMB3,870.9 million.Prudently Optimizing Business Structure and Consolidating High-Quality Customer BaseFacing changes in the macroeconomic environment, the Group strengthened risk control and cost optimization, advancing its business prudently and gradually shifting its focus toward relatively higher-quality customer segments and more sustainable business models. By deepening ecosystem partnerships with multiple industry platforms, the Group refined its end-to-end intelligent customer acquisition and operation systems, and continued to optimize its funding partnership structure to enhance business resilience.Building upon its continuously enhanced technological capabilities, the Group focused on maintaining its base of high-quality users, intensifying collaborations with premium platforms across various sectors, including a leading comprehensive retail e-commerce provider, online travel service platforms, smart devices companies, and a map service provider. By establishing an intelligent outreach system integrating "smart SMS and AI-powered outbound calls," the Group created a full-cycle customer acquisition closed loop, encompassing precise screening, layered outreach, and efficient conversion.In operating its existing customer base, the Group implemented a two-dimensional strategy combining willingness models with risk models to execute refined and differentiated operations and services for various customer segments. Adhering to a "customer-centric" service philosophy, the Group fully integrated consumer rights protection into the entire product and service lifecycle. During the Year, repeat borrowers accounted for 80.7% of the total loan origination volume for its business in the Chinese mainland, demonstrating sustained user loyalty.Upgrading Technology-Driven Capabilities with AI Empowering Multiple Business ScenariosTechnology serves as a core strategic driver for the Group's sustainable business development. In 2025, centered on artificial intelligence (AI), the Group continued to advance the evolution from tool-based usage to systematic intelligence. Through the integration of causal inference algorithms into its "Hummingbird" intelligent risk control platform, the Group focused on enhancing risk identification capabilities and model stability within complex customer segments and volatile market environments. The application of the AI-powered marketing robot effectively contributed to improvements in customer acquisition conversion and customer value.Simultaneously, intelligent agent technologies, such as the "Digital Operations Engineer," have extended automation capabilities across the entire R&D and operational lifecycle. Currently, approximately 30% of code generation and standardized operational procedures are automated, solidifying the efficiency foundation. To address long-term technology trends, the Group has initiated specialized research on financial vertical large language models in collaboration with scientific research institutions and continues to explore technological integration with traditional finance and the Web3.0 ecosystem. The Group's research and development expenses for the Year increased by 43.9% year-on-year, reflecting the Company's continued investment in technological capabilities.Steadily Advancing International Exploration and Expanding New Business HorizonsWhile deepening its core consumer finance business in the Chinese mainland, the Group continued to advance its strategic expansion into new markets. Its Hong Kong business, "CreFIT," consistently deepened collaborations with high-quality platforms to broaden its customer base and launched a loan service featuring instant approval via WhatsApp, seeking to embed financial services into users' daily scenarios. Meanwhile, the Group formally entered the Indonesian market by launching its licensed Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services (LPBBTI), marking an important milestone. Leveraging its proven operational experience, the Group looks forward to creating sustainable value for shareholders of the Group.Outlook: Focusing on Quality and SustainabilityLooking ahead, VCREDIT noted that the macroeconomic landscape and industry regulatory framework are evolving dynamically. The Group will continue to leverage its established capabilities in risk management and technology, while rationally embracing industry trends and innovations. Future strategies will focus on: refining and adapting credit solutions to serve high-quality customers; improving operational efficiency and risk management capabilities by continuously advancing AI technologies in core business scenarios; reinforcing long-term partnerships with licensed financial institutions and premium cross-industry scenario partners; and cautiously evaluating potential investment opportunities, pursuing appropriate arrangements as they align with long-term goals to support steady and high-quality business development.
