Under 400 lux indoor lighting, IRIS Optronics' 10-inch indoor Infinity® display can generate sufficient energy over 24 hours to refresh the e-Paper display 4 times per day. The technology has the potential to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions while enabling more environmentally friendly, sustainable displays.

"In the early development of Infinity® displays, our ChLCD e-Paper technology became known for its strengths in outdoor applications, including sharp, vivid color performance under direct sunlight and the ability to integrate solar power generation," said Dr. Albert Liao, Chairman and CEO of IRIS Optronics. "As demand for large-format outdoor commercial displays continues to grow, we have successfully developed a 31.5-inch product with mass-production capability to address this market opportunity."

"At the same time, we are actively advancing the development of Infinity® technology for indoor commercial display applications. Perovskite's ability to generate electricity under a broad range of lighting conditions can help address the challenges associated with low-intensity indoor light. By leveraging its high photovoltaic efficiency, we can further enhance the self-powering capability of indoor Infinity® displays and deliver a more sustainable solution for commercial environments. This enables Infinity® to address both indoor and outdoor markets while continuously improving energy efficiency."

IRIS Optronics embeds a perovskite photovoltaic film within the ChLCD e-Paper module, replacing the conventional black back sheet. In addition to creating a more aesthetically refined appearance, the design enables the display to convert incident light into electricity while maintaining its display functionality, further enhancing the energy autonomy of e-Paper and opening up innovative applications for self-powered displays and smart IoT solutions.

Perovskite is a class of photovoltaic materials characterized by a distinctive crystal structure. Compared with conventional silicon-based solar cells, perovskite has a higher light absorption coefficient, enabling thinner films to efficiently absorb light. It also offers advantages such as high photovoltaic efficiency, low-temperature processing, and lower manufacturing costs, making it an important development direction for next-generation solar technologies.

Infused with Disney storytelling and creativity, the show will debut an original Duffy Month theme song and a whole-new adventure. A Voyage with Duffy and Friends will bring guests along on an enchanting journey, following the seven friends as they use their special talents to return a mysterious crystal home across the water.

While introducing an all-new adventure, the show will also bring back a beloved Duffy Month highlight that guests have come to cherish—the Shanghai Huju Opera rendition. Starting September 5 and continuing every Saturday and Sunday throughout the month, guests can enjoy the performance crafted in collaboration with Shanghai Huju Opera Theatre for the third consecutive year. By bringing together Disney's world-class storytelling with a cherished form of Shanghai's intangible cultural heritage, the collaboration celebrates the city's unique cultural spirit through a newly arranged Huju Opera melody.

GCash — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:55:07 +0900

MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Filipino travelers shopping abroad can now receive eligible tax refunds in minutes through their GCash wallets. Powered by Alipay+ and its global tax refund partner Global Blue, the new Digital Tax Refund feature enables outbound Filipino travelers to receive tax refunds instantly and directly in Philippine Peso (PHP) through the GCash app.

GCash users can now seamlessly claim tax refunds directly into their GCash wallets across 16 countries

The service will initially be available across 16 countries, namely Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Argentina, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Latvia, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland, with more countries to be added soon.

Traditionally, travelers claiming tax refunds overseas choose between receiving cash in foreign currency, which may be difficult to use after returning home, or waiting one to four weeks, or even longer, for refunds to be credited to their bank accounts or credit cards. Currency conversion fees and exchange rate fluctuations can further reduce the value of the refund.

Using the service is designed to fit seamlessly into the existing airport tax refund process. After presenting the required travel and shopping documents to customs for validation, travelers can open the Tax Refund feature in the GCash app, accept the one-time Terms and Conditions, and generate a personal QR code. Once scanned by the airport tax refund counter representative, the refund is instantly converted to Philippine pesos and credited directly to the user's GCash wallet, accompanied by a real-time confirmation notification.

"Through Digital Tax Refund, we are giving Filipino travelers a faster and more convenient way to receive the money they are entitled to, directly in Philippine pesos through the GCash app they already use every day," said Carlos Bauza, Vice President for International Payments of GCash International.

The Digital Tax Refund feature reflects the continued evolution of digital financial services in making cross-border transactions more convenient for Filipinos. Through solutions that simplify international travel, digital platforms can help travelers save time, maximize the value of their purchases, and enjoy more seamless financial experiences wherever they go across the 16 available countries.

Shanghai Electric Contributes to World-record Biomethanol Bunkering Operation

Shanghai Electric — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 11:27:08 +0900

SHANGHAI, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 17, Shanghai Electric Company (SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727) partnered with Shanghai International Port Group and CMA CGM Group to conduct a biomethanol bunkering operation with a total volume of 8,000 metric tons, the largest single biomethanol bunkering operation on record. The bunkering ceremony at Shanghai Yangshan Port was titled "Green Fueled Globe, Lead the Future".

The principal biomethanol supplier for this operation was Shanghai Electric's Taonan green methanol project. This operation not only marks a significant breakthrough in supply volume but also indicates that the Taonan project is fulfilling stable production and large-scale deliveries.

Behind this success lies a fully connected interprovincial green fuel supply chain that serves as the core support. At the Shanghai International Shipping Green Fuel Sustainable‑Development Conference held on June 30 this year, Shanghai, Jilin and Liaoning officially launched the joint‑built green‑fuel transportation corridor. It establishes the north‑to‑south methanol shipment route: production at the Taonan project in Jilin, transit and storage at Dalian Port and final bunkering at Shanghai Port.

As the core production capacity base of the transportation corridor, Shanghai Electric's Taonan green methanol project draws on Jilin's abundant local wind and solar resources as well as biomass feedstock. Deploying independently‑developed full‑set process systems and core equipment, the facility is the world's first large‑scale plant manufacturing biomethanol by combining green electricity and biomass. It meets the ship‑bunkering requirements of Shanghai's International Shipping Center and provides crucial support for the development of the three major green‑fuel centers for international shipping.

Shanghai Electric will continue to focus on the complete industrial chain covering the production, storage, transportation and application of diversified green fuels. The company will intensify research into pivotal core‑technologies and continuously upgrade its integrated green fuel solution chain. Driving industrial advancement through technology‑driven innovation, Shanghai Electric cooperates with partners to accelerate construction on the integrated green-hydrogen-coupled-biomass gasification Green-Methanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project (Taonan Phase-II). The company will steadily improve its large‑scale green‑fuel supply capacity for the aviation and maritime sectors. Shanghai Electric shall further devote itself to fulfilling China's national dual‑carbon goals and galvanizing the worldwide shift to low‑carbon clean energy.

Dubai Police Initiatives Drive $176.4 Million in Social Value and Gains in Safety, Wellbeing and the Economy, Study Reveals

Dubai Police Security Media — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 10:24:20 +0900

DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A study has estimated the Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 80 Dubai Police community initiatives at AED 647.9 million ($176.4 million), reflecting the wider social, economic and security value created for 3.8 million beneficiaries between 2017 and 2026.

Dubai Police Initiatives Drive $176.4 Million in Social Value and Gains in Safety, Wellbeing and Economy

Conducted by the Future Foresight Centre, the study examined initiatives across education, health, awareness and sport and measured their contribution to security, economic and social outcomes, including public safety, crime prevention, trust in police and quality of life.

The study found that economic and community contributions accounted for AED 542.7 million ($147.8 million) of the total SROI. Initiatives supporting quality of life generated AED 31.7 million ($8.6 million), while AED 62.8 million ($17.1 million) was attributed to initiatives contributing to public trust. A further AED 5 million ($1.36 million) was linked to community wellbeing, while AED 5.7 million ($1.55 million) came from initiatives promoting accessibility and opportunities for participation across society.

The research also examined statistical relationships between community initiatives and key security and social indicators. It found positive correlations of 0.44 with the Happiness Index, 0.45 with the Happiness, Security and Awareness Index, and 0.44 with enhanced perceptions of safety.

The analysis also identified inverse relationships with crime related indicators. Increased implementation of community initiatives coincided with lower levels of concerning crimes, recording a negative correlation of 0.41. The study also found a negative 0.796 correlation between customer happiness and crime rates.

Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, said the results reflect the effectiveness of developing sustainable community initiatives around society's needs, while strengthening community partnerships and supporting quality of life. He described community initiatives as an important pillar of sustainable security, contributing to trust in police, perceptions of safety and crime prevention.

Among the initiatives assessed, 'Positive Spirit' initiative reached two million people, while Esaad benefited more than 1.15 million. Ride with Dubai Police reached 40,000 people, while activities associated with the UAE SWAT Challenge benefited 51,000.

The study also found that 7,189 volunteers contributed 249,916 hours between 2017 and 2026, generating estimated financial savings of AED 21.7 million ($5.9 million).

The findings show how sustained community engagement can translate into measurable social and economic value while supporting preventive security, stronger public trust, improved quality of life and greater social stability.

Cellebrite Genesis for Enterprise Now Generally Available, Regional Availability Expands to More Global Markets

Cellebrite — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 10:21:35 +0900

TYSONS CORNER, Va. and PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellebrite DI Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLBT), a global leader in AI-powered Digital Investigative and Intelligence solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced that Cellebrite Genesis is expanding to more global markets and is now generally available for enterprise organizations. The expansion builds on a successful early access program and strong momentum following Genesis' June 2026 public safety launch. Genesis has seen meaningful user growth worldwide and continues to expand internationally, with availability now in Australia and the United Kingdom and is expected to be available to the European Union later this month.

Made generally available for the public sector in June, Genesis is serving a growing mix of national, regional and local agencies around the world, including some of the world's largest regional and metropolitan police departments along with public safety departments, law enforcement agencies, prosecutors' offices and correctional facilities of varying sizes.

Purpose-built for a broad range of corporate investigations, Genesis helps enterprise teams move from manual evidence review to AI-assisted investigation that surfaces connections in minutes rather than weeks for internal corporate investigations spanning employee misconduct to financial fraud, M&A due diligence, insider threat and incident response, eDiscovery pre-processing and regulatory and compliance matters.

As Cellebrite customers apply Genesis to active cases, the impact is tangible, accelerating the speed and efficacy of investigations across an array of crime types such as crimes against children, narcotics, human trafficking, homicide and cold cases. The following examples demonstrate how Genesis helps investigators move faster, uncover missed connections and turn digital evidence into action:

・Averting a planned school shooting: Following the arrest of a young student who threatened to commit a school shooting, investigators queried his phone data in Genesis and, within five prompts, identified and apprehended a second student across the country plotting a similar attack.
・Surfacing evidence that helped protect children: Genesis surfaced new information that had been missed in the initial manual review of a suspect's device, giving investigators the probable cause needed to arrest an accused child predator after a year-long investigation.
・Converting prison conversations into actionable intelligence: A major law enforcement agency used Genesis to analyze three months of phone calls by five prison inmates and identified three minutes of conversations that involved the location of illegal firearms. As a result, the police seized more than 200 guns and arrested three suspects as part of a broader investigation.
・Validating findings in a high-profile corporate investigation: In a case of potential financial wrongdoing tied to a scrapped IPO, it took investigators months to piece together who was involved — running the same data through Genesis surfaced it in minutes, while validating the findings.
・Triaging large video and audio files so a private digital forensics company could quickly isolate 20 video clips showing evidence of a crime, helping their client move the case forward quickly rather than needing to rely on manual review that would have taken days.
・Uncovering a terrorist financing network: After two months of manual review, a regional police agency used Genesis to immediately gain information about a suspected terrorist finance network.
・Validating new leads in a missing person cold case: A small county sheriff's department received a new tip related to a cold case. Investigators used Genesis to query all the records, and they were able to immediately determine the new information was not relevant to the case; manually running down this lead would have taken weeks.

"Genesis was built on the belief that evidence should move at the speed the investigation demands. In two months, that belief has scaled from early access to a proven solution that is trusted on multiple continents, and now, with enterprise availability, we're bringing that approach to the organizations who want to protect themselves from fraud, insider threats and data theft," said Shiven Ramji, CEO of Cellebrite. "It is exciting to hear the impact Genesis is having on investigations and our customer feedback. Genesis is an example of the rapid innovation our customers can expect, ensuring we can deliver on our mission of protecting communities, nations and businesses."

Innovation within Genesis continues to move forward. The Company also added Deep Investigator, a new capability for mobile extractions. Deep Investigator surfaces data that usually resides in unparsed and other databases, thus going deeper into the content of mobile devices, helping investigators uncover digital evidence that lives in hard-to-reach places, including brand-new applications, proprietary chat platforms and data sources that are not fully understood.

Deep Investigator automatically surfaces additional investigative leads with citations to the underlying evidence while applying Genesis' built-in guardrails, ensuring responses remain grounded only in the provided evidence. Every query and action is logged with the user's identity and timestamp, creating a complete audit trail. In the coming months Cellebrite expects to include new features and enhancements that add both expanded agentic capabilities and increased support for additional data sources. These innovations are designed to help investigators work smarter and faster, with an even better user experience.

About Cellebrite
Cellebrite's (Nasdaq: CLBT) mission is to protect communities, nations and businesses as a global leader in digital investigative and intelligence solutions. More than 7,000 global law enforcement agencies, defense and intelligence organizations and enterprises trust Cellebrite's AI-powered software portfolio to make forensically sound digital data more accessible and actionable.

The event welcomed nearly 120 global contestants, alongside the Miss World Organization and an extensive delegation of domestic and international press, presenting a rigorous test of operational capacity across luxury hospitality, sports, stage production, and eco-tourism.

Reflecting on the milestone, Mr. Pham Minh Hieu, General Director of Van Huong Investment and Tourism Joint Stock Company, the developer of Dragon Ocean Do Son, emphasized: "Partnering with Miss World 2026 is both a privilege and a vital opportunity to demonstrate our operational capability in hosting world-class events. We aim to go beyond simply providing accommodations or facilities; through every contestant's journey, we want to tell the story of a dynamic, modern Hai Phong that remains deeply connected to its natural beauty and local heritage."

Proactive operational execution, combined with an "all-in-one" integrated ecosystem at Dragon Ocean Do Son, proved instrumental in ensuring the event series ran safely and on schedule while leaving a professional impression on the international Organizing Committee.

A multi-sensory odyssey: from championship golf to eco-adventure and world-class entertainment

On August 14 and 15, the Miss World Organization and Dragon Ocean Do Son successfully executed a diverse array of experiential activities, offering delegates a multifaceted perspective on Hai Phong as a premier destination.

The itinerary began with an exhibition round at Dragon Golf Links, Northern Vietnam's first 27-hole international championship course, built entirely over the sea and designed by Greg Norman Golf Course Design. Set against the panoramic sea and sky of Do Son, the experience highlighted Hai Phong's rising profile as a luxury sports and resort destination.

The journey continued at the Dragon Mangrove Forest, a coastal ecosystem spanning over 282 hectares. Here, delegates planted nearly 200 mangrove trees, reinforcing a message of sustainability and marine conservation. Contestants also immersed themselves in coastal heritage, catching crabs and snails, hand-painting national flags on traditional conical hats (nón lá), and sampling regional OCOP specialties (Bang La jujubes, green bean cakes, and Nui Ngoc tea), offering a genuine encounter with Vietnamese culture, the daily lives and distinctive cuisine of local fishing communities in this port city.

The experiential energy surged at Legend Park, a mythical-themed amusement park where delegates took on nearly 20 state-of-the-art thrill rides. Simultaneously, other contestant groups immersed themselves in the refreshing waters and vibrant atmosphere of Dragon Beach, weaving together an itinerary that seamlessly blended athletics, eco-tourism, culture, and entertainment.

Triumphant execution of Miss World 2026 pageant segments

In addition to destination experiences, Dragon Ocean Do Son successfully hosted several major competition segments of the 73rd Miss World pageant.

The official proceedings commenced on August 13 with the Press Conference & Sash Ceremony at the upscale Dream Dragon Resort. The defining moment arrived as pageant officials presented each contestant with their official country sash. Before the international press corps, donning the national sash marked the formal beginning of their quest for the crown while honoring their role as cultural ambassadors.

On August 17, the newly introduced Head Chef Beauty challenge transformed the culinary spaces at Dream Dragon Resort into a global cultural exchange. Supported by a professional culinary team, contestants collaborated to craft dishes fusing international techniques with signature Vietnamese ingredients.

Finland's Kiia Huutoniemi commended the spirit of teamwork and the rich variety of local produce. Meanwhile, host delegate Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc of Vietnam and her team secured a victory with their refined Lotus Stem Salad with Shrimp and Pork, presenting the subtle flavors of Vietnamese cuisine to the global panel.

The media highlight arrived on the evening of August 18 with the Vietnam Beauty Fashion Fest (VBFF) XVI, which doubled as the pageant's Top Model competition at Dragon Beach Square.

Widely regarded as one of the largest-scale artistic highlights of the event, the beachfront stage harnessed the natural backdrop of the Do Son sunset over open waters as a natural canvas for the collections. Outstanding technical execution, spanning concert-grade acoustics, dynamic lighting, and precise stage management for nearly 120 delegates at Dragon Beach Square, delivered a high-fashion spectacle showcasing world-class runway talent.

On the afternoon of August 19, the Hai Phong leg concluded on a high note with the high-intensity Miss Sport (Sport Challenge).

Nearly 120 delegates tested their endurance on a 1.25 km track run to determine the top qualifiers. The competition reached its peak as the Top 20 advanced to a back-to-back aquatic challenge featuring kayaking (40 m×2) and swimming (40 m). The emotional awards presentation at the Lagoon area celebrated the athletic discipline, resilience, and physical fitness of the global delegates, while showcasing Dragon Ocean Do Son's infrastructure for multi-sport international events.

The Miss World 2026 itinerary at Dragon Ocean Do Son concluded with strong, positive media coverage. By integrating global pageant milestones with real-world destination experiences, from oceanfront golf and mangrove conservation to grand coastal squares, the event successfully positioned Hai Phong as a diverse destination for tourism, ready to host major international cultural and sporting events in the future.

STATETRON INTRODUCES ANDROMEAN CLASS(TM)

Statetron — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 10:18:46 +0900

A NEW ERA OF INDUSTRIALISATION

Qatar 2030: Statetron unveils a new blueprint for autonomous, intelligent and energy-native industry

DOHA, Qatar, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Statetron today introduces Andromean Class™, a new industrial architecture designed to usher in a new era of industrialisation where artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous logistics, energy storage and digital intelligence converge within a single manufacturing ecosystem.

Statetron Andromean

The first proposed Andromean Class facility is being developed for Qatar, with an initial development concept of approximately 10 hectares and an architecture designed from inception for multi-gigawatt-scale expansion.

Statetron's ambition is not simply to build another battery assembly plant. It is to create a new generation of industrial infrastructure in which the factory itself becomes an intelligent, energy-integrated system.

"The first industrial revolution mechanised production. The digital revolution connected it. The next era will make industry intelligent, autonomous and energy-native."

Lars Carlstrom, CEO, Statetron

THE ANDROMEAN CLASS

The Andromean Class integrates AI-driven production, robotic assembly, autonomous material movement, digital-twin technology, automated quality control and intelligent energy management into one coordinated industrial environment.

The objective is to replace fragmented manufacturing processes with a continuously connected system in which production, logistics, energy, data and maintenance are optimised together.

At the centre of the platform is Statetron's modular 5 MW Power Block architecture, designed for large-scale energy-storage applications across utility, industrial, renewable-energy and grid-infrastructure markets.

The manufacturing platform is designed to support configurable storage durations and progressively expanding production capacity as demand develops.

THE FACTORY AS AN ENERGY SYSTEM

The Andromean Class concept goes beyond manufacturing.

The facility itself is designed to integrate renewable generation, energy storage and intelligent power management, allowing Statetron's technology to become part of the energy infrastructure operating the factory.

This creates a closed technological ecosystem:

energy powers the factory the factory produces energy infrastructure and digital intelligence connects the entire system.

Qatar provides a compelling environment for this vision. Qatar Free Zones Authority identifies advanced manufacturing, AI, robotics, IoT, data analytics and clean technology among its strategic emerging-technology sectors. The Umm Alhoul Free Zone, adjacent to Hamad Port, is positioned for heavy manufacturing, logistics and emerging technologies.

BUILT FOR THE NEXT INDUSTRIAL ERA

The proposed Qatar facility is conceived as a scalable industrial platform rather than a fixed-capacity factory. Production, automation, logistics and energy infrastructure can be expanded progressively toward multi-gigawatt-scale manufacturing.

Statetron believes this convergence of intelligence, autonomy and energy represents the next step in industrialisation.

"We don't want to build another battery factory. We want to build the blueprint for how industry itself will operate in the next decade."
Lars Carlstrom, CEO, Statetron

Toy Story | PEACEMINUSONE: THE FIRST FAN Project Makes Its Fourth Global Tour Stop at Harbour City

Harbour City Estates Limited — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 14:41:03 +0900

HONG KONG, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From 14 August to 6 September 2026, "Toy Story | PEACEMINUSONE: THE FIRST FAN" arrives at Harbour City in Hong Kong for its fourth global tour stop.

GCI: The World Cup's 174 Billion Illegal Streaming Problem

Gaming Compliance International — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 14:21:26 +0900

GCI estimates 174.3 billion qualifying illegal stream views globally across the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with 95% carrying advertising for unregulated gambling

HENDERSON, Nev. , Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming Compliance International (GCI) today releases its first complete global measurement of illegal streaming across the 2026 FIFA World Cup, estimating 174.3 billion qualifying illegal stream views of 90 seconds plus (90S+) globally across the tournament.

GCI's analysis found:

・174.3 billion qualifying illegal stream views of 90S+ globally across the tournament
・1.68 billion average qualifying illegal stream views of 90S+ per match, globally
・6.2 billion qualifying illegal stream views of 90S+ globally for the Spain vs Argentina Final
・95% of qualifying illegal stream views of 90S+ globally carried advertising for unregulated gambling

The estimate is derived from GCI's global monitoring and marketplace intelligence, using multiple proprietary and third-party licensed data sources.

A qualifying illegal stream view requires at least 90 seconds of streaming, denoting a "committed view". This is a stream-view measure, not a unique viewer count. The methodology accounts for stream interruptions, forced refreshes, reloads, mirror switches and channel resets throughout each match.

Before the World Cup

Before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, GCI President Ismail Vali made two predictions to Forbes: Spain would lift the trophy, and the tournament's biggest beneficiary would be crime and unregulated gambling.

Spain won the World Cup.

GCI's post-tournament analysis now reveals the scale of the second warning: 174.3 billion qualifying illegal stream views globally, with 95% carrying advertising for unregulated gambling.

The Dark Nexus

GCI's analysis identifies a dark nexus between illegal streaming and unregulated online gambling.

When professional sports returned at the end of the pandemic, this relationship had become a cornerstone of the unregulated online gambling economy. Illegal streaming of sports is now a core gateway through which unregulated gambling operators can reach huge mainstream audiences and pay for that exposure and customer acquisition through pay-on-performance affiliate deals.

GCI monitoring shows that illegal streamers can receive payment for advertising and referring audiences to unregulated gambling, with affiliate deals offering between 25% and 50% of net gaming revenue produced by unregulated gambling operators from referred customers.

The result is a powerful illegal economy: premium sports content attracts mainstream audiences; illegal streaming monetizes that attention; and unregulated gambling pays to acquire those audiences.

This relationship was previously identified by GCI in Great Britain. Analysis released in January 2026 found 3.1 billion illegal stream views of 90 seconds plus across the Top 10 sports in Great Britain during 2024 and another 1.6 billion during the first half of 2025, with unregulated gambling advertising present upon 89% of illegal sports streams.

The World Cup demonstrates the same relationship at global scale.

One Marketplace

Consumers experience one marketplace, in which legal and illegal streaming compete for the same audience.

Legal streaming can introduce additional consumer friction through access restrictions, platform fragmentation, latency, buffering and differences in service or picture quality. Illegal streaming steals that same premium sports content and competes within that same marketplace by offering audiences all the sports, in one place, for "free".

The commercial consequences extend across the sports ecosystem. Legal broadcasting supports rights holders, broadcasters and the wider sports ecosystem. Illegal streaming extracts value from that system while simultaneously creating a customer-acquisition channel for unregulated gambling.

The scale of that potential extraction is illustrated by GCI's question:

If just 1% of illegal stream views had gone through legal channels, how much more revenue could have been distributed to rights holders, broadcasters and other stakeholders in the wider sports ecosystem?

$593 Billion World Cup Gambling Marketplace

Illegal streaming sits within a much larger unregulated online gambling economy.

GCI estimated the 2026 FIFA World Cup would generate $593 billion in global online betting handle — the value of money wagered on World Cup betting online.

Of that total, $409 billion — 69% — was unregulated, compared with $184 billion — 31% — regulated.

While regulated operators saw record activity, the majority of wagering value flowed through offshore, unregulated and unlicensed channels.

Illegal streaming connects these two parts of the marketplace by delivering sports audiences to unregulated gambling operators while those consumers are watching live events and each game presents fresh betting prospects.

When Content Is "Free"

The commercial relationship with unregulated gambling is not the only risk associated with illegal streaming.

GCI's analysis found that video players, pop-ups and fake "click to watch in HD/4K" buttons can hide malware, spyware and keystroke loggers, exposing audiences to data harvesting and other forms of cybercrime.

For illegal streaming, unregulated gambling provides a short-term revenue engine. The longer-term opportunity can be the audience itself.

Given the duration of sports events, particularly World Cup matches, GCI warns that audiences can unwittingly provide crime with a 90-minute-plus window into their "digital soul".

Leadership Commentary:

Matt Holt, CEO of Gaming Compliance International (GCI), said:
"174 billion qualifying illegal stream views should remove any remaining illusion that illegal streaming is a marginal problem for sport. Consumers experience one marketplace, and illegal streaming is an industrial-scale part of it — competing for the same audiences and extracting value that should support rights holders, broadcasters and the wider sports ecosystem.

"When 95% of qualifying illegal stream views carry advertising for unregulated gambling, illegal streaming is not simply stealing content. It is providing one of the world's largest sporting audiences as an acquisition channel for the unregulated gambling economy."

Ismail Vali, President of Gaming Compliance International (GCI) and founder and former CEO of Yield Sec, added:
"The World Cup showed us the dark nexus between illegal streaming and unregulated gambling at a scale we have never measured before.

"Consumers experience one marketplace. Legal broadcasters pay for rights, invest in content and compete for audiences. Illegal streaming steals the same content, puts it all in one place for 'free', and monetizes the audience through unregulated gambling and other forms of crime.

"That is where displacement becomes replacement.

"Crime does not need to create the football, own the rights or stage the World Cup. It simply needs to steal the content, capture the audience and monetize both. And what does crime do with the money it makes? It makes more crime.

"The answer is not another game of whack-a-mole against individual URLs. We need to understand and act upon the entire marketplace: monitor it, police the illegal ecosystem and its supply chain, enforce proportionately, and optimize the legal sector so consumers have every reason to remain within it."
