Belgium’s National Lottery Will Not Advertise Sports Betting During World Cup

As the minister in charge of the Belgian National Lottery, Federal Finance Minister Vincent Van Petegrem has announced that the National Lottery will not advertise sports betting via radio, TV and written press during the World Cup in Qatar.
A World Cup is traditionally a time when more people find their way to sports betting, which is why player protection and the fight against gambling addiction are a cornerstone of Van Peteghem’s policy.
“The National Lottery is taking a leading role in protecting players and fighting gambling addiction. At a World Cup, the sport and supporter experience should be central,” he said in a press release.
“Advertising for sports betting should have no place in broadcasts or reports via television, radio and written press. The National Lottery is already setting a good example by not advertising its sports betting on these channels,” he added.
Van Peteghem guaranteed that the Lottery would continue to play a leading role in the fight against gambling addiction and channelling players towards safer gaming environments in the coming years.

INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT INTRODUCES THREE NEW iGAMING SLOT RELEASES THIS JULY: CHILI POPPERS™, BICHOS MAGICOS™ & BIGGER PIGGY BANK™

Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, has announced the release of three new online slot titles this July across UK and Malta iGaming jurisdictions: Chili Poppers™, Bichos Mágicos™, and Bigger Piggy Bank™. Each title is designed to provide distinctive gameplay experiences while delivering strong performance for operators.
Chili Poppers is a spicy, Mexican-themed descendant of the popular Happy Fortune Dragon™, featuring a 5×3 layout with 10 win-lines. Building on proven mechanics, the game introduces pseudo-persistent pots that grow with every Chili Pepper symbol on the centre reel, triggering one of three key features: coin boosts, multipliers, or Free Spins. With locked Wilds and persistent enhancements during Free Spins, Chili Poppers offers explosive win potential and player engagement.
Bichos Mágicos is Inspired first Brazilian Portuguese game. It brings vibrant, cartoon-style charm to an 8-symbol scatter-pays mechanic and fun cascading wins. Multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x can drop throughout the gameplay, culminating in a Mystery Multiplier worth up to 500x after cascades end. Designed for casual players, the game also includes Bonus Buy and Fortune Bet features, giving users more control and faster access to the game’s high-energy Bonus round.
Bigger Piggy Bank, the sequel to Inspired’s successful Big Piggy Bank™, enhances the original’s popular cash collector mechanic with fresh features and more fun ways to win. Players are rewarded with big wins when Collector symbols land on reel five, randomly triggering a Bonus Wheel that offers Free Spins, Prize Pots, or Golden Piggy Free Spins. With the chance to land oversized symbols, Prize Pot Tokens, and a coveted Grand Prize, Bigger Piggy Bank delivers an engaging experience. For added control, players can use the Bonus Buy feature to enter the Bonus directly and Fortune Spins for the opportunity to focus on collecting piggy wins. The Gamble feature allows players to risk their base game wins to win more cash or trigger the bonus game.
Claire Osborne, Vice President of Interactive at Inspired Entertainment, said: “Inspired’s July lineup showcases an exciting portfolio of new content designed for worldwide success, that’s packed with variety and innovative ways to win. Each title combines proven mechanics with exciting features that we’re confident will resonate across diverse markets, this summer and beyond.”

FBM Foundation Brings Relief to Typhoon-hit Communities with a Day of Compassion and Action

FBM Foundation led a relief operation across Luzon to support the communities affected by Typhoons Crising, Dante and Emong. Through swift mobilization, FBM Foundation prepared and distributed 1,000 relief packages, on July 27th, in Batangas City, Caloocan City, and Quezon City. This gesture offered essential support to hundreds of families facing loss and displacement.
Rapid relief, real impact
The mission was led by Pepe Costa, FBM Foundation Representative in the Philippines, and Lulu Barreras, Community Service Project Coordinator at FBM Foundation.
The first stop of the relief operation was Batangas City, where 500 relief packs were handed out to families affected by rising floodwaters. With homes submerged and communities evacuated, the FBM Foundation was warmly welcomed by the CSWDO – City Social Welfare and Development Office of Batangas City, who expressed heartfelt gratitude for the Foundation’s committed support and active role in ensuring the relief operations were conducted in an orderly and compassionate manner.
The second destination was Barangay 176-C in Caloocan City, where 200 families received emergency supplies. The area had been hit hard by poor drainage and non-stop rains. Thanks to Barangay Captain Nelfa Cabantac, the relief goods were distributed efficiently, ensuring every affected household received the necessary support.
Finally, the team reached Barangay Talayan, in Quezon City, where 300 relief packages were delivered to flood-stricken residents. This final effort was coordinated with the help of Richard Cabugsanon, a concerned citizen who proactively contacted the Foundation to extend aid to his community.
United by compassion, our volunteers stood ready with 1000 relief packs for families in need
United by solidarity
This one-day mission was made possible by 12 tireless volunteers, whose dedication was instrumental to the success of the initiative. Their efforts ensured not only the delivery of goods but also the presence of empathy, hope, and human connection in moments of crisis.
This swift response reinforces FBM Foundation’s ongoing mission to uplift lives, promote resilience, and act when communities need it the most. From immediate relief to long-term support, the Foundation remains committed to driving sustainable, positive change across the Philippines and beyond.
Heartfelt smiles and shared strength between volunteers and families impacted by the typhoons.

PAGCOR sends Php30M in relief aid to storm-hit families

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has released over Php30.41 million worth of food and non-food aid to communities devastated by the recent onslaught of heavy rains and floods in the country.
The state gaming agency reported that as of Saturday, July 26, a total of 33,250 relief packs consisting of 17,000 food packs and 16,250 non-food items have been released to local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
“As millions in Metro Manila and other provinces suffer from torrential rains and floods triggered by the southwest monsoon and tropical storms, we quickly mobilized our relief operations teams,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“As the government’s partner in nation-building, we are morally- and duty-bound to come to the aid of Filipinos in times of need, and that includes being one of the first responders when calamities strike,” he added.
The LGUs that received relief assistance from PAGCOR included the City of Manila, Quezon City, Marikina, Parañaque, Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Bulacan, Occidental Mindoro, La Union, and Laguna.
Distribution was facilitated through PAGCOR’s Imus and Angat warehouses in coordination with LGUs and logistics partners.
The agency also extended support to ACT Teachers Partylist and Nanay Partylist by providing relief goods for distribution to affected constituents.
“Our relief operations are ongoing and will continue in the coming days as we aim to reach out to more communities affected by the recent calamities,” Mr. Tengco said.
“Hopefully, we would be able to bring not just food and other essentials but also much-needed hope and support.”
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council’s latest report, the recent severe weather events have affected 5.29 million people or 1.46 million families across 17 regions.
