(AsiaGameHub) -   According to Blask, its new analysis shows branded demand for prediction markets in the U.S. has grown more than fivefold since August 2025, based on the company’s category tracking through March 2026. The company noted that current demand is still roughly 49% lower than the all-time high set during the November 2024 U.S. election cycle, which Blask classifies as an event-driven spike. Blask added that the latest round of growth has built steadily across eight straight months “without a comparable macro trigger.” Blask has also introduced a dedicated analytics feature specifically for prediction markets, which the firm says lets operators track demand trends, competitive positioning and regional distribution in real time, including state-level benchmarking. Per Blask’s data as of March 2026, Polymarket and Kalshi together hold roughly 94% of all branded demand in U.S. prediction markets. In Kansas, Blask reports Polymarket captured 95.5% of branded demand, versus 3.5% for Kalshi; meanwhile, the closest competitive race the firm cites is in Louisiana, where Polymarket holds 59% of demand and Kalshi holds 35.3%. Outside the two market le...

(AsiaGameHub) -   Lawmakers in Bangladesh have pledged to roll out a nationwide crackdown on gambling and online betting, stressing that coordinated targeted measures are imminent for the sector. Actions will kick off after the country’s parliament adjourns on 30 April, as confirmed by Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, who promised a “zero tolerance” policy on gambling alongside drug use, in response to concerns raised by Zainul Abdin Farroque, the parliament member representing the Noakhali-2 constituency. “To save the youth from destruction, the government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy,” stated Ahmed, who confirmed that law enforcement agencies will carry out joint operations to dismantle networks tied to drugs and gambling. Most forms of gambling remain prohibited in Bangladesh under the 1867 Public Gaming Act, which leaves online gambling operating in an unregulated grey area with no domestic oversight. Ahmed’s push to curb online gambling comes even though Bangladesh passed the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025 last year, which stipulates penalties of two years in prison and fines of up to $80,000 for people found operating or promoting...
