印尼学者呼吁"外国人专属赌场"模式：巴淡岛或巴厘岛或成试点，效仿迪拜经济实用主义
印尼STIE Ekuitas学者Vidya Ramadhan提出突破性建议，主张在巴淡岛或巴厘岛等经济特区试行"仅限外国人"的赌场模式，通过针对性立法建立监管框架，既能规避现行刑法禁令，又能创造可观财政收入。Ramadhan强调必须禁止本国公民入场以保护低收入群体，同时指出严格监管的赌场可带来显著经济收益。这一提议获得国会议员Galih Kartasasmita支持，他以阿联酋为例，主张将赌场合法化视为经济策略而非意识形态问题。国际关系专家Hikmahanto Juwana赞同此方案，认为政府监管实体赌场比当前泛滥的非法网络赌博更易管控。历史先例也提供佐证——20世纪60年代雅加达省长Ali

Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: IGT credits systems platform for new growth markets
All systems go. So hopes IGT in future growth possibilities in Asia, as it targets new avenues after its success so far within primary jurisdictions such as the Philippines and Macau. It has not lost its focus on primary markets, but it notes that certain caps and other restrictions mean that its concentration on new exploits can continue to grow. Meanwhile, in Macau, revenue is lagging, begging the question of whether full-year government expectations can be met. And looking to Australia, The Star is set for an existential vote by the end of June.

泰国男子为柬埔寨电诈团伙开设200个假账户，被捕前藏匿两年
泰国警方近日在呵叻府触猜县一处度假村逮捕一名涉跨国电诈案的泰国男子。37岁的嫌犯维奈（音译）被控参与电信诈骗团伙，为柬埔寨网络犯罪集团大规模开设虚假银行账户，并长期藏匿在境内避查。据泰国科技犯罪打击部门介绍，案件源于一起投资诈骗举报。受害人误信Facebook上的虚假理财广告，资金被转入诈骗团伙控制的账户。调查显示，涉案金额累计超380万泰铢，牵涉大量受害者。警方顺藤摸瓜，锁定维奈为关键操控者之一。他被指负责在柬埔寨波贝地区招募人员开设假账户，协助完成人脸验证，并提供App与操作技术指导。据其供述，自2023年底起，他每月领取1.5万泰铢固定薪资，外加每个账户1000泰铢提成，至今已协助注册逾

泰国对华双轨政策浮现：为何“白产”受捧、“灰产”受压？
多名受访人士表示，尽管泰国警方高调打击中国涉诈集团，但中国资本整体在泰国的地位并未受损。相反，在东南亚制造业重组背景下，许多来自中国的“白产”——即合法制造业、服务业企业——受到泰国政府的积极欢迎。而来自缅北、金三角、菲律宾等“灰产”地区的中国人，则因涉嫌非法博彩、电诈、绑架、洗钱等行为，成为泰国警方严打的对象。“白产”与“灰产”在泰国社会的形象差异，也通过中文社交媒体平台逐渐显现。在小红书、抖音等平台上，一些用户分享自己在泰国投资开厂、购买房产、子女就读国际学校的经历，甚至总结了“如何长期合法居留泰国”以及“如何通过投资拿永居”的技巧。而在中文Facebook社群、Telegram群组与“反

体育博彩交易的边界与未来：Sporttrade CEO 探讨预测市场、监管博弈与部落角色
Sporttrade首席执行官亚历克斯·凯恩（Alex Kane）在最近一场网络研讨会上，从哲学层面深入探讨了预测市场与体育博彩的融合，并点出了部落在这一领域可能扮演的战略角色。他以温和但锋利的视角分析，这一新兴领域正打破旧有的行业格局——过去的对手如今可能变为合作伙伴，而原本同阵营的企业则可能走向分裂。在由印第安博彩协会举办的“新常态”线上研讨会上，凯恩作为嘉宾，分享了他对预测市场和传统博彩之间张力的独到见解。Sporttrade的产品形态与Kalshi等预测市场公司相似，但其运作模式则是在州级持牌的体育博彩公司，而非以联邦商品市场（DCM）的身份运营。正因如此，Sporttrade于4月正
