EveryMatrix launches turnkey platform with Betsson’s Africa‑focused Cameroonian brand
(AsiaGameHub) - EveryMatrix has launched its complete turnkey platform in partnership with Betsson Group’s Africa-focused brand operating in Cameroon. This move marks another step forward in the growth of regulated digital betting and lottery infrastructure across the continent, with the integration covering both casino and sportsbook offerings. The solution also covers core systems including player account management, payment processing and affiliate tools, effectively delivering a full, compliant operating stack built specifically for regulated markets. “Rolling out a full turnkey platform solution for Betsson Africa demonstrates the strength and maturity of our technology and delivery capabilities in regulated environments, while strengthening our commitment to the African continent,” said Ebbe Groes, Group Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of EveryMatrix. “Our priority is to support a stable, compliant launch in Cameroon and work closely with the Betsson team as the operation expands.” EveryMatrix scales up its African operations This deal, awarded after a competitive bidding process, follows other recent business activity EveryMatrix has secured across Africa. Just one month ago, 888Africa partnered with the Malta-headquartered platform provider to boost its existing operations in Angola. The firm also recently earned formal licensing approval to supply its turnkey platform technology in South Africa. EveryMatrix notes its platform is engineered to support scalable operations in regulated environments, with a core focus on compliance, reliability and adaptability – key factors as African jurisdictions continue to formalize their gaming and lottery regulatory frameworks. The Betsson deal comes shortly after Q1 results release For Betsson, the launch signals a measured approach to expansion, targeting select regulated markets instead of rapid, unplanned growth. Its recent Q1 results show the group is expanding its B2C footprint across multiple markets, with growth in Latin America and Western Europe offsetting weaker performance in Central and Eastern Europe and its home region of the Nordics. Cameroon is among a number of African markets where regulatory models are evolving, creating opportunities for licensed operators with established technology and mature compliance capabilities. Rony Richa, Commercial Director at Betsson Group, added: “This launch reflects a pragmatic approach by Betsson as we explore select regulated markets. “EveryMatrix was selected for its proven technology, regulatory experience, and capability to support a structured and controlled rollout.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Soft2Bet merges casino and sports betting in its new Romanian launch
(AsiaGameHub) - Soft2Bet has integrated casino gaming and sports betting for its Romanian audience with the introduction of its new platform, Zinx. Tailored for the Romanian market, the platform utilizes a dark background complemented by ‘electric blue and kinetic purple gradients’, a design that Soft2Bet states represents speed, concentration, and contemporary digital strength. A key feature of the platform is Zinx, an animated dragon character that acts as a guide for users. Both of Soft2Bet’s casino games and sports betting offerings are accessible via Zinx. Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet, stated: “Zinx introduces a highly competitive and pertinent digital product to Romania, achieving an ideal mix of exciting, dynamic gameplay and secure, transparent operations. “Our formidable dragon mascot and the novel MEGA Round gamification engine are central to the Zinx experience in both casino and sports betting.

Global Nurse Migration Patterns Shift as Europe, Southeast Asia Absorb Growing Share of International Nurses
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit™ (formerly CGFNS International) today released its 2025 Nurse Migration Report, revealing significant shifts in global nurse migration patterns and widening inequities in nursing workforce distribution across regions with vastly different healthcare needs.The report, which analyzes World Health Organization data and TruMerit's proprietary VisaScreen® application records, shows that international nurse migration flows are increasingly concentrated in regions with stronger healthcare infrastructure, while areas facing severe nursing shortages continue to lose ground in their ability to employ internationally educated nurses.Europe and Southeast Asia see sharp increases in international nurse employment. According to TruMerit's analysis of WHO nursing workforce data, Europe now employs internationally educated nurses at a rate representing 8.01% of its healthcare workforce, compared to a ten-year average of 5.96%-a persistent and significant upward trend. Southeast Asia has seen internationally educated nurses as high as 24.87% of the healthcare workforce, compared to a ten-year average of 20.15%-again, indicative of a notable, steady trend despite fluctuations over the past decade. During the same period, the proportion of internationally educated nurses working in the Eastern Mediterranean and African regions has declined, exacerbating existing nursing shortages in underserved areas."These data expose a widening global imbalance: well-resourced health systems are accelerating their absorption of internationally educated nurses, while regions with the most severe nursing shortages are losing the capacity to employ the very professionals they urgently need," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of TruMerit. "Correcting this maldistribution will require coordinated action by both source and destination countries--grounded in ethical recruitment frameworks, stronger bilateral agreements that help offset the education and training costs borne by source countries, and sustained investment in nursing education and health system capacity in underserved regions."Growing Complexity of International Nurse Career PathwaysThe report highlights increasing mobility among internationally educated nurses. TruMerit's analysis of VisaScreen credentialing data from 2021-2024 shows that approximately 3% of nurses migrating to the United States had already worked internationally in another country before applying for U.S. authorization-evidence of an increasingly mobile global nursing workforce in which multiple international career moves are becoming more common."The data in this report make clear that nurse migration is not simply a matter of supply and demand-it reflects deeper structural inequities in how healthcare education, employment capacity, and healthcare resources are distributed globally," said Rodrigo Gouveia, Chief Global Affairs Officer at TruMerit. "Coordinated policy frameworks, investment in nursing education systems, and strengthening of health infrastructure in underserved regions are essential to ensuring that international nurse migration supports rather than exacerbates global health equity."Emerging Risks: AI-Generated Credential Fraud Threatens Nursing Workforce IntegrityThe 2025 Nurse Migration Report also examines emerging risks to healthcare workforce integrity, including the projected rise in AI-generated occupational fraud. Industry analysts project that by 2026, one in four job candidate profiles may be fabricated by artificial intelligence, underscoring the increasing importance of verified nurse credentialing systems for protecting patient safety.The full 2025 Nurse Migration Report is available for download here.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development with nearly 50 years of experience supporting the mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers.

随着欧洲和东南亚吸纳的国际护士比例不断上升,全球护士流动格局正在发生变化
宾夕法尼亚州费城, 2026年4月28日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit™(前身为CGFNS International)今日发布了《2025年护士流动报告》,揭示了全球护士流动模式的显著变化,以及在医疗需求差异巨大的各地区之间,护理人员分布不均现象日益加剧。该报告通过分析世界卫生组织数据及TruMerit专有的VisaScreen®申请记录显示,国际护士流动正日益集中于医疗基础设施更完善的地区,而面临严重护士短缺的地区在雇佣国际教育背景护士的能力方面持续处于劣势。欧洲和东南亚的国际护士就业人数大幅增加。根据TruMerit对世卫组织护理人员数据的分析,欧洲目前雇佣的国际教育背景护士占其医疗保健劳动力的8.01%,而过去十年的平均水平为5.96%——这一趋势呈现出持续且显著的上升态势。东南亚地区国际教育背景护士占医疗卫生工作力的比例高达24.87%,而过去十年的平均水平为20.15%——尽管过去十年间存在波动,但这再次表明了显著且稳定的增长趋势。同期,东地中海和非洲地区国际教育背景护士的比例有所下降,加剧了医疗资源匮乏地区现有的护士短缺问题。“这些数据揭示了全球范围内日益加剧的不平衡现象:资源充沛的卫生系统正在加速吸纳海外受过教育的护士,而护理人员短缺最严重的地区却正失去雇佣这些他们迫切需要的专业人才的能力,”TruMerit总裁兼首席执行官彼得·普雷齐奥西博士表示。“要纠正这种分配失衡,需要来源国和目的地国采取协调行动——这需要建立在伦理招聘框架的基础上,通过更强有力的双边协议来帮助抵消来源国承担的教育和培训成本,并对医疗资源匮乏地区的护理教育和卫生系统能力进行持续投资。”国际护士职业发展路径日益复杂该报告强调了国际护士流动性日益增强的趋势。TruMerit对2021至2024年VisaScreen资质认证数据的分析显示,约3%移居美国的护士在申请美国执业许可前已在其他国家有过国际工作经历——这表明全球护理劳动力流动性日益增强,多次跨国职业流动正变得越来越普遍。“本报告的数据清楚地表明,护士流动不仅仅是一个供需问题——它反映了全球医疗教育、就业容量及医疗资源分配方面更深层次的结构性不平等,”TruMerit全球事务首席官罗德里戈·戈维亚(Rodrigo Gouveia)表示。“协调一致的政策框架、对护理教育体系的投资,以及加强医疗资源匮乏地区的医疗基础设施建设,对于确保国际护士流动能够促进而非加剧全球卫生公平至关重要。”新兴风险:人工智能生成的资质造假威胁护理人员队伍的诚信《2025年护士流动报告》还探讨了威胁医疗卫生人员队伍诚信的新兴风险,包括预计将增加的人工智能生成的职业欺诈。行业分析师预测,到2026年,每四份求职者资料中就有一份可能是由人工智能伪造的,这凸显了经过验证的护士资质认证系统对于保障患者安全的重要性日益凸显。完整的《2025年护士流动报告》可在此处下载。关于TruMeritTruMerit是全球医疗卫生人才发展的领军机构,在支持护士及其他医疗卫生工作者职业流动方面拥有近50年的经验。TruMerit前身为CGFNS International,致力于为寻求在美国及其他国家获得执业许可的海外医疗卫生专业人员,对其教育背景、培训经历及专业经验进行认证。通过其扩展的使命以及全球卫生人才发展研究院,TruMerit 致力于推进相关研究、标准及认证工作,以增强全球卫生人才队伍建设,并促进公平、可持续的职业流动。媒体联系LEA SIMS首席营销与传播官TruMeritmedia@trumerit.org来源:TruMerit Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Irish National Lottery Calls for Ban on Bookmaker Bets on Lottery Draws
(AsiaGameHub) - Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI) asserts that a regulatory loophole exists between the Irish National Lottery and licensed bookmakers, as bookmakers currently offer wagers on lottery draw outcomes. The FDJ United-owned operator is calling on the government to prohibit bookmakers from accepting bets on lottery draws, arguing that this practice siphons off potential sales and funding from the official lottery. Irish lottery cites €289m in lost revenue PLI presented its arguments to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER) via its newly published ‘Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of the National Lottery’. The report features a full section exploring the impact of lottery betting on the official lottery’s revenue and the funds it allocates to good causes. In this section, PLI states that €289m (£250m) in National Lottery sales were lost in 2024 alone, as a direct result of lottery betting services offered by licensed bookmakers. PLI’s calls for policy adjustments are the latest appeals submitted to the Irish government, coming just two years after the Gambling Regulation Act was signed into law, which established a new regulatory body for the betting and gaming sector: the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI). “A large number of participants take part for the chance to win a prize in an enjoyable, regulated environment, while contributing to extremely worthwhile causes,” said Cian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of the National Lottery. “The National Lottery plays a critical role in funding Good Causes, supporting thousands of jobs, and driving economic activity in communities across the country. “Lottery betting offered by bookmakers poses a very tangible threat to this entire ecosystem, reducing the funds available for local sports clubs, youth centres, arts programmes, and community services.” PLI reports €81m drop in Irish good cause returns Unsurprisingly, PLI’s report has focused heavily on how lottery betting impacts returns to good causes – a core mandate of the Irish National Lottery and its 10-year operating contract, as is standard for all state-backed lotteries. The report, compiled by Indecon International Economic and Strategic Consultants, estimates that roughly €81m in good causes donations were lost due to lottery betting in 2024, with an average annual loss of €63m recorded between 2021 and 2024. This calculation is based on the estimate that around 28% of National Lottery sales income was allocated to good causes in 2024 – €239.3m out of total sales of €853m. PLI and Indecon applied this 28% ratio to the total estimated value of lost lottery sales, which stands at €289.7m. “The charity and voluntary sector relies heavily on consistent annual funding to sustain and expand its services,” said Aine Myler, CEO of Charities Institute Ireland (CII). “The National Lottery Good Causes Fund serves as a critical source of support for a wide range of organisations operating across the sports, arts, heritage, youth, community, and health sectors. “CII has submitted multiple representations to the government calling for this policy change to be implemented, so we now urge the Minister once again to address this issue. There is a clear public policy justification for measures that protect National Lottery funding and the communities that depend on it.” PLI presents macro-economic arguments for the ban PLI’s Murphy added that the operator considers it has a ‘responsibility to safeguard the National Lottery’s long-term value’, including shielding it from revenue losses to betting operators. “Given the scale of these impacts, we have no choice but to request appropriate action from the Government on this issue, in the interest of preserving current Good Causes funding levels, protecting players, and ensuring that the National Lottery, as a State asset, remains an attractive investment that delivers tangible returns for the State when its licence comes up for renewal in eight years’ time.” The firm has built its case not just on the impact to its own revenues and good causes returns, but also on what it describes as wider knock-on economic impacts. It estimates that retailers lost £12m in commission in 2024, as part of a total $132m loss across broader related retail sales. This impact extends to employment, with PLI estimating that “1,219 fewer jobs are sustained due to the presence of lottery betting”. This in turn creates further broader economic costs for the Irish state, including a €5m loss in exchequer revenue according to PLI’s calculations. Tara Buckley, Director General of the Retail Grocery Dairy and Allied Trades Association (RGDATA), said: “Retailers see first-hand the tangible difference that Good Causes funding makes to clubs and organisations, most of which are volunteer-led, in their local areas. “It is critical that the government acts now to safeguard Good Causes funding and prevent the National Lottery from being increasingly undermined by lottery betting. Ireland should no longer be an outlier in Europe and move immediately to ban lottery betting.” PLI is not alone in pushing for the policy change As referenced by RGDATA’s Buckley, the appeal submitted to the Irish government by PLI and its charity and retail sector partners is partially grounded in comparisons to regulatory frameworks in other European nations. The three groups noted that 25 out of 27 European Union member states, as well as the UK, draw a clear regulatory distinction between national lottery services and betting and casino operators. In the UK, for instance, operators are prohibited from offering bets on domestic National Lottery draws – though they are permitted to take wagers on Irish and Spanish lottery draws via many high street and online bookmakers such as Paddy Power, Betfred and Coral, to name just a few examples. Back in Ireland, PLI’s request to the government highlights that multiple quarters remain dissatisfied with Ireland’s new regulatory framework. Gambling reform advocates, such as the Labour Party for example, are pushing for additional changes focused specifically on advertising regulations. As the Irish betting sector faces similar challenges to other global markets – including an ongoing decline in retail betting activity, with the key exception of taxation rules – Irish bookmakers are likely to lobby back against calls to end lottery betting services. SBC News has contacted the Irish Bookmakers’ Association (IBA) to request comment on the matter. This article is provided by a third-party.

ATG’s growth remains unchanged as the Swedish company deals with external economic pressures
(AsiaGameHub) - AB Trav och Galopp (ATG) has experienced a 'continued tough market situation' that has impacted its performance in the first quarter. The company is implementing redundancies and an internal restructuring as part of its strategy to manage external economic pressures. In its financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2026, the Swedish operator reported that its top-line figures were 'on par with the previous year,' necessitating an internal reorganization to streamline operations. Total revenue for the period reached SEK 1.4bn (£111.9m), representing a slight increase of just under 1% compared to the same period last year. Net gaming revenue exceeded SEK 1.2bn. A difficult quarter for sports betting Casino appears to be the primary driver of growth, with revenue increasing by 20% during the period. However, ATG noted that this growth was 'partly due to one-off events in 2025'. The results stated: “The growth in casino includes one-time effects in the comparison figures, but even taking that into account, there is growth.” The company's core horse racing division remained relatively stable, despite increased international interest in the vertical. In contrast, overall sports betting saw an 11% decline. “Horse betting is stable and still our largest gaming product. It is also the foundation of our business and the commitment to horse betting is strong, both externally and internally,” ATG commented. “The sports product area had a weaker quarter, with net gaming revenue down around 11% year-on-year. This is mainly due to the outcome of sporting results, as this type of variation is not uncommon between quarters. At the same time, we see signs that we need to continue developing our offering to our customers.” Lotta Nilsson, CFO and Deputy CEO at ATG Despite the subdued performance, ATG remains optimistic about regaining momentum in the latter half of the year. Lotta Nilsson, Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer at ATG, stated: “We are improving our results in a continued tough market situation. “It is a statement of strength. At the same time, we are not satisfied with the development of revenue – it should increase, and we are acting to have an effect already during the year.” Leadership reshuffles have had an impact The beginning of the year presented challenges for ATG, not only in terms of revenue growth but also with significant leadership changes. In February, CEO Hans Lord Skarplöth stepped down after 13 years. Peter Norman was initially appointed acting CEO, but a few weeks later, Jörgen Forsberg, CEO of Svensk Travsport, was named the new acting CEO pending the hiring of a permanent replacement. During this period, Nilsson also took on the role of Vice President. A complete leadership overhaul is a substantial undertaking for any company. ATG navigated these changes while simultaneously managing an overall company restructuring that led to a reduction in its workforce. Looking beyond Sweden Despite the internal challenges, potential new growth opportunities are emerging, though their presence within Sweden remains uncertain. ATG's Q1 results highlight its international strategy as a key long-term growth catalyst. ATG's Danish operations are reportedly 'developing well,' with a 13% increase in overall NGR (in Swedish Kroner) during Q1 2026. Similar to Sweden, this growth was primarily driven by casino (55%), followed by horse racing (27%) and sports betting (18%). Furthermore, ATG is exploring new opportunities in Finland through its Hippos ATG subsidiary, contingent on regulatory approvals. With the market preparing for licensing and regulated operators expected to launch in 2027, expansion into Finland could provide a vital new revenue stream, offsetting challenges posed by Sweden's mature market and regulatory landscape. Beyond specific regional subsidiaries, ATG is committed to actively expanding its international horse racing betting business throughout 2026. In Q1, this division generated SEK 817m, a 13% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This international expansion strategy is heavily reliant on distributing its proprietary racing content and betting pools to global partners. The results concluded: “We have several challenges ahead of us, the biggest of which is creating growth in horse racing. At its core, ATG is something unique: a gaming company with a mission that extends beyond numbers and balance sheets. The values that horse betting holds. “The community, the analysis and the presence in the experience itself provide direction in our mission: to create revenue for Swedish trotting and galloping sports. We do this by continuing to offer exciting games in a fair and smooth way. “Our mission remains the same – we will be the horse industry’s engine and the gaming industry’s compass.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Sweden’s regulator keeps a close watch on Mr Green’s every action
(AsiaGameHub) - Sweden’s regulator, Spelinspektionen, is continuing to implement supervisory actions over evoke’s online gambling brand, Mr Green. In the most recent regulatory update, Mr Green was identified alongside three other brands—CoinToss Ltd, Kaprifol Services Ltd, and Mr Vegas Ltd—that are now under intensified scrutiny. These measures are designed to ensure that all four operators adhere to the necessary customer protection protocols established by the Swedish gambling regulations, with a particular focus on player deposits. Licensed operators are legally mandated to follow up with any player whose monthly deposits exceed SEK 10,000 (£800). At this threshold, the gambling provider must contact the player to request proof of income and assess their risk of problem gambling. The heightened monitoring of Mr Green may be linked to a financial penalty imposed by the Swedish regulator in 2024. At that time, the evoke-owned property was fined SEK 12m (£900k) due to shortcomings in its Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures that occurred in 2021. This penalty was a reduction from an initial, much larger fine of SEK 31.5m (£2.35m), which the Swedish Supreme Court decided to halve to ensure it was proportionate to the severity and duration of the violations. While Spelinspektionen rarely suspends the licenses of regulated operators, with most bans targeting offshore companies, Mr Green must proceed with caution to avoid further regulatory displeasure. This imperative for strict compliance is further amplified by the ongoing discussions between Mr Green’s owner, evoke, and Bally’s Intralot regarding a complete acquisition, as recently disclosed by both major gambling entities. A negative outcome in a European market could significantly hinder evoke’s position in these discussions, especially considering Bally’s Intralot’s potential to become a leading force across the continent by combining its market share with evoke’s brand presence in Spain, Italy, Romania, the UK, Belgium, and Denmark.

HKTDC’s response to Hong Kong’s export figures for March
HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Census and Statistics Department today released the latest external merchandise trade statistics. In March 2026, the total value of Hong Kong’s merchandise exports recorded a year-on-year increase of 35.8% to HK$618.4 billion. For the first quarter of 2026, the total value of exports of goods amounted to HK$1,546.2 billion, representing a robust growth of 32.0% compared with the same period last year.Commenting on the outlook, Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said Hong Kong’s exports are expected to remain steady at least in the near term, despite elevated energy prices arising from ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He noted Hong Kong’s external trade has continued to exhibit clear growth momentum, underpinned primarily by sustained global demand for electronic items and other intermediate goods that are integral to regional and global supply chains.In particular, resilient input demand from the Chinese Mainland and other ASEAN production sites, together with stable demand from major overseas markets, has provided a solid buffer against external headwinds. While geopolitical uncertainties persist and energy prices are likely to remain relatively high, continued industrial activity in major markets, as well as ongoing supply-chain realignments, are expected to lend ongoing support to Hong Kong’s trade flows.“Overall, we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook for Hong Kong’s trade performance, while remaining mindful of potential volatility arising from geopolitical developments and cost pressures,” Pang added.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

CanSinoBIO Delivers Q1 Revenue Growth Amid Accelerating International Expansion
HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CanSino Biologics Inc. (688185.SH/06185.HK) released its first-quarter 2026 results, reflecting a positive operational momentum. Revenue for the quarter totaled RMB 190 million, representing a 38.73% year-over-year increase.The performance highlights the company’s strong operational resilience, driven by accelerating sales of core products and ongoing cost-efficiency measures. Despite short-term pressure on profitability, steady revenue expansion sets a solid foundation for a full-year earnings recovery.Menhycia(R), the first MCV4 vaccine product in China, maintained robust sales during the period. The successful launch of iPneucia(R) (13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine) also contributed considerable revenue to the Group. Meanwhile, international technology transfer and intermediate products sales have gradually emerged as new revenue growth drivers.CanSinoBIO has developed a differentiated portfolio of bacterial vaccines, covering meningococcal, pneumococcal and DTcP vaccines. The company leverages five core technology platforms, including viral vector vaccines, synthetic vaccines, protein structure design and Virus-Like Particle (VLP) assembly, mRNA technologies, and formulation and delivery systems. This diversified pipeline helps mitigate the “single-product dependency” that has historically challenged traditional vaccine manufacturers.Among its key products, Menhycia(R), China’s first domestically developed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, has continued to gain market traction following approval for expanded use in children up to six years old, driving steady gains in market penetration. Meanwhile, iPneucia(R), China’s first 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine using a dual-carrier system (CRM197 and tetanus toxoid), has ramped up since launch and emerged as a key growth driver.In April, the company also received approval for Tripecia(R), an adsorbed acellular pertussis (three-component) combination vaccine (DTcP) for infants. Leveraging next-generation technology, the product fills a gap in the domestic market and further strengthens CanSinoBIO’s presence in the pediatric segment.Beyond the infant market, CanSinoBIO is advancing a “life-course immunization (from infancy through old age)” strategy, expanding into adolescent and adult vaccines. Pipeline candidates, including adolescent and adult component Tdap vaccines (Tdcp) and a 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, are progressing through development and clinical trials, aimed at broadening the company’s addressable market.On the international front, the company continues to pursue a dual-engine strategy of innovation and global expansion, transitioning from product exports to a more integrated global model. Menhycia(R) has been launched and supplied in Indonesia, while manufacturing facilities for both Menhycia(R) and iPneucia(R) have obtained PIC/S GMP certification from Malaysia. This integrated approach, spanning product registration, localized manufacturing and technology transfer, is expected to unlock significant opportunities in overseas markets.Looking ahead, with the continued ramp-up of core products and the gradual commercialization of its life-course vaccine pipeline, CanSinoBIO’s long-term value proposition may be poised for a re-rating, supported by both earnings’ growth and an expanding global footprint.

Joaquim Agut: CIRSA’s Share Price Fails to Reflect the PLC’s True Value
(AsiaGameHub) - “CIRSA is significantly undervalued,” Chairman Joaquim Agut told investors of the historic Spanish gambling group. This message was conveyed at the first shareholders' meeting of Grupo CIRSA, which finalized its first accounts on the Spanish stock exchange in 2025, following its long-awaited IPO in July. During the meeting, Agut announced a special dividend of €75 million for investors, amounting to €0.45 per share, representing approximately 35% of the €118 million in adjusted net profit recorded in the FY2025 accounts. 2025 was a landmark year for CIRSA, which solidified its status as Spain's largest gambling company by reporting corporate income of €2.3 billion and record EBITDA of €736 million, a 7% rise compared to the previous year. CIRSA victim of wider anxieties This peak financial performance occurred against the backdrop of a transformative IPO for Spanish gambling, as CIRSA debuted on the Spanish stock exchange at €15 per share, achieving a valuation of €2.5 billion and entering the IBEX Top 50. However, despite these achievements, the CIRSA share price has remained stagnant in the €13-to-€14 range, a situation Agut believes severely undervalues the company's prospects. Agut, who has served as Executive Chairman of CIRSA since Blackstone's private equity acquisition in 2018, believes the current undervaluation reflects broader investor concerns regarding the gambling sector rather than CIRSA's underlying performance. As a listed gambling company, Agut noted that CIRSA has been exposed to persistent sector anxieties, emphasizing that “the company's stock market performance does not reflect its operational reality” – a situation driven not by internal factors, but by the wider dynamics shaping global gambling markets. He specifically pointed to “the emergence of predictive betting models in the United States and increased gambling taxes in the United Kingdom,” developments he said have triggered widespread declines across listed gambling stocks since the start of 2026. Proven player with undervalued strategy Despite these pressures, Agut has maintained that CIRSA has consistently outperformed both market conditions and listed peers, sustaining a clear growth trajectory since 2018. He added that he remains confident that investors will ultimately recognize the group's intrinsic value. “The IPO allowed the company to reduce its financial burden while maintaining a high level of investment to support growth, alongside lower debt and the continuation of a strong shareholder return policy,” Agut continued. Consequently, CIRSA has fulfilled its strategic pledge to become the highest-valued Spanish gambling group, underpinned by a disciplined, value-led M&A strategy that continues to shape its expansion profile. Growth has been driven by targeted acquisitions across core and emerging markets, with 17 deals completed in 2025 and early 2026, including four new casino assets in Peru, Casino Marrakech, and Spanish gaming machines distributor Comatel. Under Agut's tenure, CIRSA has executed over 150 acquisitions, with management maintaining that each has been earnings accretive while strengthening the group's footprint across Latin America, Africa, and Southern Europe. This strategy has positioned CIRSA as one of the most geographically diversified operators among European-listed gambling firms. These transactions reflect a clear focus on scalable assets capable of delivering immediate earnings contribution “We have built a model where growth is both disciplined and repeatable,” Agut stated. “Our M&A strategy is focused on assets that complement our operational strengths and deliver sustainable value over the long term.” All eyes on Blackstone Currently, Blackstone holds 74% of CIRSA's share capital, while institutional investors account for 21%, and retail investors make up the remaining 5%. In Spain, analysts continue to scrutinize how Blackstone will ultimately divest its majority stake. Addressing the recent sale of a 4% holding, Agut reiterated that such a move had already been outlined in the IPO prospectus, “so it should not surprise the market.” Attention will now turn to Blackstone's next steps and its positioning within global gambling equities – an asset class facing renewed pressure from macroeconomic headwinds, including rising energy costs and inflation, which are certain to have deep impacts in Spain and Latin America. Despite these external challenges, Agut remains confident that CIRSA can sustain its growth trajectory and outperform both domestic competitors and listed global peers The investment case is further supported by analyst sentiment, as “14 banks covering the stock maintain “buy” recommendations and set an average target price of €20.6 per share – almost 50% above current trading levels.. Agut concluded that “Cirsa has improved its financial profile with lower debt, reduced financing costs, and greater flexibility, while gaining institutional visibility at a time when the listed gambling sector has faced external turbulence”.

Kincora Commences Drilling at the Historic Condobolin Mining Field
First phase drilling program underway at the 100% owned Condobolin epithermal gold, silver-base metals project located in the Cobar BasinCapital efficient sole funded drilling program of up to eight diamond core holes First systematic drilling in over a decade at the historic Condobolin Mineral Field Testing down dip, on strike, new adjacent coincident geochemical and geophysical targets at the high-grade Meritilga discovery Fully funded follow-up drilling proposed at Meritilga, with additional targets including other open prior discoveries and larger causative porphyry centers also under considerationRecent corporate activity highlights the value on high-grade projects in the Cobar BasinDrilling is ongoing in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti at the highly prospective Nevertire South porphyry project in the Macquarie ArcVancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 28, 2026) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce drilling has commenced at the Condobolin project, located in the southern end of the Cobar Basin in Central West NSW.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented,"We are very excited to be drilling at two highly prospective projects, including the first systematic drilling program in over a decade at our wholly owned Condobolin project. Our recent efforts have included consolidating the historic Condobolin mining field, an extensive airborne geophysical survey, a regional assessment of shallow historical workings, open prior explorer discoveries and potential causative porphyry targets.While water and the weathering profile previously impeded mining and exploration efforts those historic obstacles now support a compelling opportunity. The last phase of drilling delivered proof-of-concept with strong results and straightforward exploration upside at multiple historical mines and new discoveries, including a blind high-grade gold discovery at Meritilga. Cobar style deposits are often vertically extensive with repeating mineral systems. Our commenced program will, for the first time, properly test that potential at Mertiliga and advance our geological concept of a deeper intrusion(s) driving zoned hydrothermal systems across multiple historical mines and targets - offering both attractive grade and scale opportunity.Recent M&A in the Cobar district highlights the strategic value of high-grade precious and critical mineral deposits, particularly where synergies can be unlocked from existing processing capacity. The Condobolin project is an asset where a junior explorer like Kincora can add significant value." Figure 1: Kincora is currently sole-funding drilling at the Condobolin Mining Field while AngloGold Ashanti funds drilling (with Kincora receiving a management fee) at the Nevertire South license which is part of two earn-ins within the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt projectThe southern Cobar Basin remains relatively under-explored, with several recent discoveries in historic mining districtsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/294502_kincora_0427.jpgDistrict, regional and adjacent property information disclosed is provided for general awareness and educational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of any other project of the Company it is being compared to.ABOUT THE COBAR DISTRICTThe Cobar Basin has a 150-year history of high-grade, long-life mining and is an important supplier of critical and precious metals. The region benefits from established infrastructure and favourable ESG considerations with significant scope for processing and mining efficiencies, supporting further potential regional consolidation.The district has recently seen several significant new discoveries utilising modern exploration techniques in lesser explored regions (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and emerging corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover for MAC Copper (MAC.ASX), Aeris Resources A$214m acquisition of Peel Mining and Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its PNG Misima project).ABOUT THE CONDOBOLIN PROJECTThe Condobolin project was historically the focus of up to 25 informal open pit operations (peak late 1800's-early 1900's), with mining impacted by the water table and exploration by the weathering profile. The mineral field has not been effectively explored below the weathered zone (~30m).Very limited modern exploration has taken with initial activities by Clancy Exploration (Clancy, now RareX Limited) yielding encouraging results at all five prospects drilled (2011-13), including a virgin high-grade gold discovery at the Meritilga Prospect.More recently within the immediate district, Kingston Resources has significantly expanded the resources and restarted hard rock mining at the Mineral Hill mine, Talisman Mining has had success at its Rip N Tear and Durnings targets (to both the immediate north and south of Mineral Hill), while Australian Gold and Copper has excited the market with its new district scale discovery at its Achilles target located within the south western extension of the Cobar Basin.The Condobolin project is located approximately 40km south from the mill at Mineral Hill and north of the Condobolin town (which is the primary source of employees to Mineral Hill operation who drive through the Condobolin project to work) - see Figure 1.Kincora has consolidated a 100% project ownership and continued to expand our foothold across the near surface potential of the historical Condobolin Mineral Field. Approximately 20% of the wider project is out-sub cropping with the average depth of cover in non-outcropping areas less than 5 metres supporting very easy exploration with surface geology and sampling being an effective, quick and cheap methods.In 4Q'2025, the Company completed a ~150km2 airborne electro-magnetic (AEM) geophysical survey and the first systematic drilling program in over a decade commenced at the Meritilga target.Meritilga was a new blind shallow discovery made by Clancy in 2012 following up a coincident 2km x 2km arsenic-lead-zinc (+gold) geochemical anomaly and K-channel radiometric anomaly over ridges east of the historic mines at Mascotte and west of Potters. The anomalies coincided with key NE-striking structures identified in detailed 3D induced polarization (IP) surveys 1.The gold, silver and base metals system is situated within a lode with high grade lens (ore grade, eg 4m @ 20g/t gold, 30.2 g/t silver from 75m, including 1m @ 62g/t gold, 60g/t silver in hole CORC029) and a lower grade halo. The lode is a consistent body, open up and down dip 1, 2.Land access agreements are in place and the permitting process commenced for an up to 15 diamond drill hole program for 4100 metres testing down dip (up to 350m depth) and strike extensions and the potential for repeat high grade lens and/or a stacked series of lenses. Permits and land access are in place for a first phase program of up to eight holes.This setting is supported by the last phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling by Clancy, the one diamond hole drilled by Kincora in 2023, coupled with a favourable structural setting where the main Meritilga Fault has been cross-cut by N-S trending faults 3.The program will also test new adjacent coincident geochemical and geophysical targets.The current working geological model, underpinned by pathfinder zonation and coincident geophysical anomalies, supports the potential for a larger mineralised intrusive source at depth, which this drilling program seeks to also support.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets.

Cambodia intensifies casino crackdown following China’s call for action
(AsiaGameHub) - Cambodian authorities have closed 91 casinos alleged to be facilitating online fraud networks, shortly after China called for stricter measures against cross-border gambling. As reported by the Xinhua News Agency, Phnom Penh has additionally conducted raids on 250 online scam centers over the last nine months and expelled more than 13,000 foreigners connected to these operations. During a visit to the Cambodian Prime Minister last Wednesday (22 April), Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pressed the leader and his administration to enhance their crackdown on cross-border gambling and online fraud, framing them as public safety concerns. The Cambodian government has consistently pledged to tackle scam compounds operating within its borders, a commitment strengthened by the enactment of its inaugural cybercrime law aimed at prosecuting online scam offenders. The specific casinos affected by the closures are not yet public, but shutting down 91 venues is a component of a broader Cambodian government initiative to combat unlawful gambling. This effort has gained urgency after recent findings connected numerous nationwide casinos to serious abuses associated with scam compounds. Nevertheless, ongoing allegations about scam centers in Cambodia indicate that Phnom Penh faces a protracted struggle as it devises new strategies to curb illegal gambling. Measures by Cambodian authorities aim to alter the course and disrupt the growth of scam centers, which expanded rapidly after the ban on online gambling licenses in 2019. The presence of many operators has persisted since then, and the spread of these scam centers has become a detrimental burden on the national economy. Despite government initiatives, Cambodia continues to be an attractive location due to gaps in its regulatory system and its geographical closeness to Mainland China and Vietnam. While government intervention is crucial, enforcement efforts are largely reactive, attempting to close a gap after allowing these centers a multi-year head start. Yi's trip is part of a larger Chinese campaign to rally Southeast Asian nations for regional collaboration against transnational cybercrime. His regional tour also included meetings with high-level officials from Myanmar and Thailand. Per Xinhua, Myanmar's Foreign Minister U Tin Maung stressed his nation's dedication to escalating its fight against online gambling and telecommunications fraud. He added that Myanmar would "never allow any activities that harm China’s interests" on its soil. A major driver behind China's push to prevent Cambodia and other Southeast Asian nations from becoming hubs for gambling and casino-related crime is the growing evidence that Chinese citizens are frequently leading these criminal ventures in the region. The recent cooperation between China and Cambodia in apprehending and extraditing Chen Zhi underscores a distinct strategic partnership between the two countries. Additionally, China's drive to maintain certain standards in Southeast Asia's gambling scene helps secure Macau's continued prosperity as the region's premier gambling destination. Last year, President Xi notably intervened in the development of Thailand's ultimately failed land-based casino bill, cautioning about the potential for regulated gambling to increase local crime—an action widely interpreted as safeguarding Macau's status.
