Underage Gamblers Beware: Regulated Online Casinos to Forfeit Winnings and Adopt Biometric Age Verification Tools

WATERFORD, Ireland, Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a bid to double down on underage gambling, regulated online casinos globally will forfeit the winnings of those found to be under the legal age. As the gambling industry draws a firm line against illegal play, it is also adopting cutting-edge biometric facial age verification technology to help fortify its platforms.

Global casino information resource portal, Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) – a division of the OneTwenty Group – said these initiatives underscored how seriously the industry viewed this. Already in the United States, five New Jersey casinos and a horse racing track have forfeited $77,000 won by minors.

“Online casinos are stepping up its game and this no-nonsense approach serves as a deterrent, reinforcing that underage gambling does not pay – literally. We are sending a strong warning to kids to stay off gambling sites. The forfeited winnings will be redirected to relevant government authorities, where it will support programs like the treatment of compulsive gambling,” said Miranda Raaff, Head of iGaming Information at MDC.

“In addition, the adoption of age verification tools marks a significant leap forward in our ongoing mission. By integrating these advanced tools, the industry is not just keeping pace with the digital age, it’s setting a new benchmark for player protection.”

Governments like Germany and Argentina are on board and have endorsed these verification tools for online sites. Australia is also hot on the heels of this, while the UK is considering it.

“As this trend gains momentum, it’s expected that more online casinos and countries will follow suit. In a world where digital access is at every teenager’s fingertips, the fight against underage gambling is more crucial than ever,” said Raaff.

“The industry remains resolute in its mission to safeguard minors. Through collaboration and a shared commitment to responsible gambling, we are making significant strides and will continue to advocate for a safer gambling environment worldwide.”

By expanding PayPal USD’s availability on Solana, new opportunities arise for consumers and businesses, especially in areas where transaction speed and cost-efficiency are crucial.

One of the main advantages PYUSD offers is its potential for greater accessibility and user adoption compared to other stablecoins. PayPal’s established global presence and user base give PYUSD a unique advantage. With PayPal’s vast network, including millions of merchants and consumers worldwide, PYUSD has the potential to quickly scale and become a prominent alternative in the stablecoin space. Additionally, the integration of PYUSD on platforms like Bitget positions it to capitalize on both retail and institutional interest in stable, fiat-backed stablecoins.

The listing of PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, on Bitget is a significant development for both the platform and its users. As one of the most recognizable names in global finance, PayPal’s entry into the stablecoin market with PYUSD brings a level of trust for mainstream adoption.

Brains Bioceutical Set to Achieve One of the World’s First CEP for Cannabidiol Certification with the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & Healthcare

Advancing Pharmaceutical Innovation: Brains Bioceutical’s CEP Certification will Streamline Cannabinoid Drug Development, Inspired by Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ CBD-Based Epilepsy Drug and 2024 $1.4 Billion Revenue Projection

                                             BSPG Laboratories

Brains Bioceutical Corps. wholly-owned subsidiary BSPG Laboratories in Sandwich Kent

SANDWICH, United Kingdom, Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brains Bioceutical Corp. (BBC) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by submitting one of the world’s first CEP (Certification of Suitability) application for its Cannabidiol (CBD) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) to the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & Healthcare (EDQM). This landmark achievement demonstrates BBC’s CBD as meeting the highest industry standard for pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid products.

The CEP confirms that BBC’s CBD meets European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) standards, a crucial endorsement for pharmaceutical manufacturers in Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the US. This certification streamlines regulatory processes, ensuring high quality, consistency, and safety for global markets.

Additional advantages of the CEP include:

  • Facilitating and simplifying interactions between regulators and industry, ensuring that substances used in pharmaceutical production meet European Pharmacopoeia standards and comply with relevant EU legislation.
  • Easing the management of investigational medicinal product for medicinal products.
  • Serving as a complement and bridge between European Pharmacopoeia monographs and the regulatory dossier requirements for medicinal products.
  • Acting as a link between health authorities and industry, enhancing communication and cooperation.

Ricky Brar, CEO and Chairman of Brains Bioceutical Corp., emphasized the importance of this certification in the company’s long-term strategy. “Achieving a CEP for our Cannabidiol Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is a pivotal step in our journey to lead the global cannabinoid market. It reinforces our commitment to quality and innovation, and it positions Brains Bio to set the standard for the industry. This is not just about meeting regulatory requirements—it’s about exceeding them and setting a new benchmark for what pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid products should be.”

Dean Billington, Chief Operating Officer of Brains Bioceutical Corp., added, “Our submission to the EDQM is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. The CEP will provide a significant competitive advantage, ensuring that our Cannabidiol API is recognized as a top-tier ingredient for pharmaceutical use. We are proud to be at the forefront of this rapidly evolving industry, driving excellence in every aspect of our operations.”

The global demand for cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals remains robust, evidenced by Epidiolex, which Jazz Pharmaceuticals projects will generate approximately $1.4 billion in revenue in 2024 [1]. This reflects ongoing growth and demand for high-quality pharmaceutical cannabinoid products.

The EDQM’s review process, initiated on August 8, 2024, will take approximately 115 working days. Successful granting of a CEP will confirm that Brains Bio’s CBD meets, the stringent Ph. Eur. requirements.

This CEP application effort underscores Brains Bio’s unwavering commitment to setting new standards for the cannabinoid industry. This builds on Brains Bio’s EU GMP and controlled substances licenses. By aligning its CBD API with the rigorous criteria of the European Pharmacopoeia, Brains Bio is not only participating in the market but actively shaping its future.

As part of our strategic partnership, Brains Bioceutical and DSM-Firmenich have joined forces to leverage their combined expertise in cannabinoid research and development. Together with Brains Bioceutical – manufacturer of high-quality pharma-grade cannabinoids – DSM-Firmenich offers an end-to-end innovation platform designed to support early-stage cannabinoid drug development and realize the potential of CBD- based formulations. Its capabilities include leading-edge formulation expertise, a global network of regulatory specialists, and preclinical and clinical study proficiency.
