Danmarks Spillemyndigheder Strammer Tøjet: Kan ROFUS Holde Tempoen?

AM Europe

Danmark, kendt for progressive politikker, tager endnu engang en proaktiv holdning - denne gang mod spilregulering. I de senere år har det danske spillemarked oplevet en betydelig vækst, hvilket har fået regeringen til at implementere strengere foranstaltninger for at bekæmpe potentiel skade forbundet med aktiviteten. Disse nye regler rejser vigtige spørgsmål om deres effektivitet, og om de rammer den rette balance mellem spillerbeskyttelse og branchens frihed. Ny Spiller, Nye Regler: Ændringerne, der træder i kraft øjeblikkeligt, omfatter: Forhøjet Aldersgrænse: Online deltagelse i spil vil nu være begrænset til personer over 25 år, sammenlignet med de tidligere 18 år. Dette bringer Danmark i tråd med strengere regler i nabolande som Finland og Island. Markedsføringsbegrænsninger: Reklame- og kampagnaktiviteter for spilplatforme vil blive mødt med strammere restriktioner, især i dagtimerne og nær skoler. Dette sigter mod at begrænse eksponeringen for yngre demografiske grupper og sårbare individer. Indbetalingsbegrænsninger: Spillerne vil blive afhæntet på deres daglige og månedlige online spiludgifter, med mulighed for yderligere stramning baseret på individuelle risikoanalyser. Forbedret Overvågning: Spillemyndigheden vil modtage yderligere ressourcer til robust overvågning af online spilaktiviteter, identificere og adressere potentiel problematisk adfærd. "Spilleindustrien har oplevet en boom i de senere år, og med det følger et ansvar for at prioritere spillersikkerhed," udtaler en talsperson for Spillemyndigheden. "Disse nye regler er designet til at skabe en balance mellem at sikre et fair og tilgængeligt marked, mens vi beskytter enkeltpersoner mod potentiel skade." Er ROFUS Nok? Men ikke alle er overbeviste om reguleringernes effektivitet. Spil-uden-om-rofus.net, en dansk interessegruppe mod ludomani, udtrykker bekymring: "Mens vi hylder regeringens initiativ, mener vi, at disse foranstaltninger ikke formår at adressere kernespørgsmålet," udtaler Oliver Damgaard, talsmand for Spil-uden-om-rofus.net. "Fokus på aldersgrænser alene vil ikke adressere eksisterende ludomaner eller personer i risiko. Styrkelse af supportsystemer, fremme af ansvarlig spillebevidsthed og tackling af branchens aggressive markedsføringstaktikker er afgørende skridt, der ser ud til at mangle." Danmarks satsning på strengere spillekrav vil med sikkerhed blive fulgt nøje af andre lande, der står over for lignende udfordringer. Om disse foranstaltninger viser sig effektive i at dæmpe ludomani og sikre et ansvarligt marked, må tiden vise. Debatten mellem spillerbeskyttelse og branchens frihed vil sandsynligvis fortsætte med Danmark i spidsen af denne udviklende samtale. ROFUS: Din vej til kontrol over dit spil: Forståelse af reglerne i Danmark Spiller du måske lidt for meget? Eller vil du bare tage en pause fra spilverdenen? Så er ROFUS et værktøj, der kan hjælpe dig med at tage kontrol over dit spil. Men hvad præcis er ROFUS, og hvordan fungerer reglerne i Danmark? ROFUS står for Register Over Frivilligt Udelukkede Spillere. Det er en database administreret af Spillemyndigheden, hvor du frivilligt kan registrere dig, hvis du ønsker at udelukke dig selv fra at spille online-gambling og på fysiske casinoner i Danmark. Her er hvad du skal vide om ROFUS-reglerne: Hvem kan registrere sig?: Alle over 18 år kan registrere sig i ROFUS. Du kan vælge at udelukke dig selv midlertidigt (minimum 24 timer) eller permanent. Hvordan registrerer man sig?: Registrering foregår nemt og sikkert via dit NemID på ROFUS.nu. Hvad dækker udelukkelsen?: Når du er registreret i ROFUS, er du udelukket fra alle online-gamblingsplatforme med dansk licens samt landbaserede casinoner og fysiske bettingterminaler i Danmark. Det gælder eksempelvis spil som poker, roulette, spilleautomater og sportsvæddemål. Siden oktober 2023 omfatter udelukkelsen også fysiske bookmakere i Danmark. Hvad sker der, hvis du prøver at spille, mens du er registreret?: Spillemyndigheden informerer spiludbyderne om din registrering i ROFUS. Hvis du forsøger at spille, mens du er udelukket, vil din adgang blive nægtet. Kan man fortryde sin registrering?: Ja, du kan til enhver tid ophæve din registrering i ROFUS via dit NemID på ROFUS.nu. Er der hjælp tilgængelig?: Hvis du har brug for hjælp til at tackle dit spil, tilbyder Spillemyndigheden gratis og anonym rådgivning via StoppSpillet.dk eller på telefon på +45 70 22 28 25. Har du brug for hjælp? Hvis du eller nogen du kender kæmper med ludomani, er der hjælp at hente. Du kan kontakte Spillemyndigheden, ROFUS eller en af de mange behandlingscentre, der er tilgængelige i Danmark. Husk, du er ikke alene. Yderligere Information: Spillemyndigheden: https://www.spillemyndigheden.dk/ ROFUS: http://www.spillemyndigheden.dk/rofus Center for Ludomani: https://ludomani.dk/ Jeg håber, denne artikel har givet dig et godt overblik over Danmarks spillemyndigheder og ROFUS. Husk, at spil skal være sjovt, og hvis det ikke længere er det, er der hjælp at hente. Contact Details Andrea M. Lassen +45 27 35 72 27 andrea@danskinfo.dk

Is GFOX The Best Investment In 2024? Presale Passes $3M In Bid To Take The P2E Crown

RoundHouse Media

Over the past few years, play-to-earn (P2E) cryptocurrencies have gained popularity. P2E cryptocurrencies are quickly emerging as the best crypto coins to invest in in 2024 and are predicted to be the next big thing in the bigger gaming market. Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) is one P2E coin that has been the subject of a lot of attention lately. With nearly $3 million raised in an attempt to claim the P2E title, it has already established itself as one of the best ICO presales. Let's examine Galaxy Fox's potential to rank as the best cryptocurrency investment in 2024. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS<< Galaxy Fox ($GFOX) Surges in Presale, Crosses $3 Million Presale is one of the most common ways for projects to launch into the crypto space. While thousands of projects go down this route, only very few projects have raised as much attention as Galaxy Fox. GFOX's presale has been a major success, surpassing the $3 million milestone in just a few weeks. This is a strong indication of investor confidence in the potential of $GFOX as an investment. The multi-faceted ecosystem of Galaxy Fox has strengthened the confidence of investors in $GFOX. >>BUY $GFOX TOKENS<< Galaxy Fox Goes for the P2E Crown The Galaxy Fox ecosystem is based on a blockchain gaming ecosystem. The ecosystem includes an intriguing play-to-earn (P2E) game, some of the coolest NFTs built right into the game, an NFT marketplace, and a merchandise store. Another major advantage of Galaxy Fox over other P2E coins is its dual utility. While it serves as a gaming token, $GFOX also doubles as a meme coin. This dual utility is what makes many crypto experts believe it has the potential to become the best cryptocurrency investment in 2024. The entire ecosystem is intended to foster community participation. Galaxy Fox users are rewarded for their engagement throughout the game and in the retail store. The $GFOX ERC-20 coin will drive the ecosystem. $GFOX is the meme coin to purchase right now since it has overcome the tokenomics problem that most top names, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Rather than an endless supply, only 5 billion $GFOX tokens will be available. To increase decentralization, 70% will be sold during the project's cryptocurrency presale. To ensure the project's sustainability, 10% will be added to the liquidity pool. In addition to superior tokenomics, the team has also integrated a deflationary mechanism to increase the value of the token over time. Why Galaxy Fox is the Best Cryptocurrency Investment for 2024 Based on all signs seen so far, 2024 is going to be a very bullish year for the crypto market. When the bull market gets closer, investors want to know what cryptos to buy now. Market experts have declared that Galaxy Fox is a must-have for every investor. Given the enormous potential of meme coins for rapid price growth and the fast-expanding gaming market, $GFOX could see a parabolic rise by 2024. With a 100x price prediction from industry experts, GFOX is positioned to benefit from these developments. To further strengthen this bullish prediction, the Galaxy Fox ecosystem is scheduled to launch at the height of the bull market. Still priced at only $0.00198 per coin, Galaxy Fox is easily the best cheap crypto to buy now. With its launch quickly approaching, now is the best time to join the Galaxy Fox train.

These Two Assets Historically Limited To Ultra-Wealthy Investors Have Seen Triple Digit Returns Over The Past Decade – Vint Expands Access With Latest Fund

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Invest in long-term appreciation opportunities through fine wine and rare whisky here. Great taste and a nice buzz aren’t the only things you can toast when it comes to fine wine and rare whisky. There’s also the potential for a nice return on them as asset classes. Over the past few years, fine wine and rare whisky prices have witnessed growth as investors turn to them as a way to diversify and hedge against inflation. The Knight Frank Fine Wine Icons Index (KFFWII), which tracks a sector of wines that represent the fine wine investment market, is up 149% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the Knight Frank Rare Whisky index, which tracks the auction results of a basket of rare Scottish single malts, is up 586% over the past decade. Leveling The Playing Field Despite the returns, getting access to this multi-billion dollar market historically favored by the ultra-wealthy can be difficult for regular investors. Historically, industry insiders and members of hard-to-get-on allocation lists are the ones who get to take part in this alternative investment opportunity. That’s changing thanks to companies like Vint. The platform for wine and spirits collection investing is leveling the playing field through its equity products and marketplace, giving investors and consumers access to fine wine and rare spirits with the potential for long-term appreciation. Learn more about the fine wines and whiskies at Vint’s marketplace. Vint’s innovation aims to capitalize on emerging trends while improving access to these investment opportunities. Demand for the top French wines is growing at the same time that access to them is proving difficult. That has created what the company says is a significant pricing delta among the U.S., Europe and Asia for many of these assets. Through its funds, Vint aims to give investors an efficient and tax-advantaged investment product to capitalize on this arbitrage. The company uses collected investor capital to buy physical bottles and cases of wine and whisky in one region and sell them in another. Once an asset sale is made, Vint reinvests the funds and any gains into new purchases. Best Of Both Worlds With Vint’s New Fund To encapsulate that opportunity in both the wine and whisky markets, Vint recently launched the Vint Futures and Casks I (VV-FC1) fund. Open to accredited investors with a minimum investment of $2,500, the goal of the fund is to give investors a blended approach to investing in wine and spirits and capture the quality potential from recent vintages of top wine from Bordeaux and other regions while also leveraging the strong demand and trading activity of spirits casks. What drives prices for spirits casks and wine futures is the scarcity. When producers limit the release, the market value tends to soar. As it ages and is consumed, quality and scarcity increase, driving the value of the wine or whisky higher. This gives investors the potential for long-term appreciation. Over the years spirits and wine have proven to be a solid investment, outperforming the broader markets. A popular way to gain exposure to fine wine and rare whisky is through wine and spirits futures. These enable investors to invest in the assets at their release price, providing the potential for significant upside as the price increases. Bordeaux wines, known for their aging potential are one example of a wine that could provide long-term appreciation, but there are others, as well. Cask investing affords investors the same opportunity. The only difference is the aging of whisky and rum is in a barrel or cask rather than a bottle. The Vint Futures and Casks I fund gives investors the best of both worlds, with a target composition of 70% wine futures and 30% spirits casks and a projected hold time of five to six years. Get wine and whisky exposure through the Vint Futures and Casks I Fund. Knowledge Is Power Vint should know a thing or two about fine wine and aged whisky. The company has been around since 2019, offering equity products to investors who want exposure to these luxury asset classes. It also operates the Vint marketplace which sells fine wines and rare spirits to collectors, consumers and merchants. The marketplace was created to give investors the best exit price for Vint investment assets all the while mitigating investment fees. At last check, the Vint marketplace had over $70 million in assets and hundreds of customers. Vint also has performance to back it up – the company has returned capital from 14 deals resulting in an average realized net IRR of 28.7%. Fine wine and rare spirits investing has long been the domain of a select few. Vint is changing that by giving more investors access to what has the potential for long-term appreciation. Now that’s something to cheer about. Use the Vint platform to invest for as little as $2500.
