(AsiaGameHub) -   Betsson is opting to avoid several major Western European gambling hubs due to recent regulatory shifts and operational hurdles, according to CEO Pontus Lindwall. During a recent appearance on the iGaming Daily podcast, Lindwall discussed the company's first-quarter financial results. Total group revenue for the period fell 3% year-on-year to €285.3m, compared to €294m in Q1 2025. B2B earnings saw a sharp decline to €51m from €90m in the prior year's quarter, while B2C revenue grew by 15%. Despite the overall dip, Betsson saw double-digit year-on-year growth in both Western Europe (€61.3m) and Latin America (€93m), maintaining momentum in those regions despite broader challenges.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Social media platforms are growing increasingly saturated with anonymous accounts sharing the same viral clips. At first glance, there may seem to be no clear pattern to why these accounts post identical videos. But a closer look reveals an entire industry of “clippers”, who are paid to edit and distribute content across social media platforms, with their earnings directly tied to the number of views each clip receives. Anthony Fujiwara, Founder of Clipping, one of the companies leading the industrialization of this content strategy, told Forbes that top-earning clippers can make between $30,000 and $40,000 per month. Clipping can charge clients as little as a few cents per million views, meaning advertising costs through this clipping model are far lower than through other traditional advertising channels. Brands or content creators will often share content via Google Drive for clippers to download and repost through their own personal accounts. He stated in his interview with Forbes: “I remember a traditional platform charging $25,000 for one million views. For us, a million views could cost somewhere between just a hundred dollars to a th...
