In the United Kingdom and the influential Betting and Gaming Council lobby group has drawn attention to the size of Europe’s black market iGaming scene while warning that the British gambling landscape now stands at a ‘dangerous crossroads’.

The Betting and Gaming Council represents approximately 90% of British gaming, sportsbetting, casino and bingo operators including behemoths such as William Hill, Entain and Flutter Entertainment. The organization used an official press release to declare that it recently commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers to conduct a formal investigation into the size and reach of illegal online gambling across multiple regulated European jurisdictions that uncovered higher rates of illegal operation linked to ‘the introduction of strict new measure…

The latest record in completed brackets in ESPN Men’s Tournament Challenge seems to make the term March Madness self-explanatory. Indeed, the 22.6 million bets placed on the games scheduled for the 2024 edition of the popular NCAA basketball tournament on 22 March exceeds the last year’s record by 13 percent to set the new all-time-high figure and keep the boiling atmosphere around the championship as teams win to advance or lose to go home.

Record Hit Just before the Beginning of the First Game:

According to ESPN press release, the record number of bets was hit earlier today. The company’s upgraded and updated ESPN Tournament Challenge reportedly registered more than 27,555 brackets per minute to see the record figure just before the start of the first tournam…

In Macau and a senior official with the enclave’s tourism ministry has reportedly predicted that local hotel occupancy rates during next month’s five-day Labour Day public holiday could reach as high as 80%.

According to a Tuesday report from GGRAsia, Cheng Wai Tong serves as the Deputy Director for the Macao Government Tourism Office and he made the optimistic forecast based on the latest booking information from the city’s vast array of hotels including those tied to local casino resorts. The official purportedly also proclaimed that such an outcome from May 1 would represent the best result for the city since the start over 15 months ago of a downturn tied to the coronavirus pandemic.

Important incentive:

The launch of AMD’s 8000-series desktop APUs is drawing closer. Motherboard BIOS’ are ready, samples are out and about, and that means tis the season to be leaky.

We expect the new APUs to deliver a big step forward in gaming performance, and though actual gaming performance is still partly unknown, a set of Geekbench entries and the known capabilities of similar mobile APUs gives us a good idea of what to expect.

The Ryzen 5 8600G popped up in the Geekbench database (spotted by Tom’s Hardware). They show its Radeon 760M integrated graphics scoring 30,770 and 24,842 in the Vulkan and OpenCL benchmarks respectively. The Vulkan score is notable in that it edges out the massively popular Nvidia GTX 1060. That might not seem particularly impressive compared to current generation…

If you’ve played all three previous Dragon Age games, how many choices do you think you’ve made across the series as a whole? Hundreds? Thousands? Certainly enough for it to be a little disappointing that new entry The Veilguard doesn’t really care about any of them.

That’s a little unfair, but it’s not far away from the truth. The Veilguard lets you customise your “world state” during character creation, but it only relates to the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and even then they’re disappointingly few and vague. Beyond details of your Inquisitor (their name, race, and appearance, though it doesn’t care about their class), your past adventures are all boiled down to just three questions.

The first asks who your Inquisitor romanced. The second, whether the Inquisition …
