Top 5 UK Gambling Portals with Casino and Bookmaker Reviews

In an iGaming market flooded with options, locating a worthwhile website morphs into an odyssey. Dedicated portals like Cardmates, Gambling.com, Casino.org, Casino Guide and BestCasino address the need. In other words, these resources separate the wheat from the chaff in order for you to pick a credible venue. So, what exactly do they offer users? Let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Cardmates UK – 1,000% Trusted Guide to Online Gambling

Cardmates.co.uk is a trusted platform with an unbiased look into the iGaming industry. These guys provide ample reviews on online casinos and poker sites across the UK. An expert team guides visitors through the best choices, highlighting what makes each brand unique and worth their time. This UK gambling portal features thoughtful analyses that are more than just dry reports of what’s present or missing. Personal interaction with sites and the resulting experience are what’s reflected in every review.

Around 50 pages with bonus-wise offerings are tailored to different preferences. No deposit, free spins, reload deals, cashback, exclusive promos, etc. The site itself is designed with the user in mind. First-time guests shouldn’t have any issues with finding targeted info.

Why Trust UK Gambling Portal Cardmates?

Here’s why it is a trusted name in online casino reviews:

  • Expert team: Seasoned whizzes deliver firsthand insights that people can trust all insights.
  • Own ranking methodology: They’ve implemented an in-depth scoring system to rate gaming platforms across multiple factors. So only legitimate and exemplary ones make the listings.
  • Comprehensive information: Their inspections delve into everything a punter should be considering before registration (e.g., KYC checks, minimum deposit, withdrawal speed and issues, diversity of game catalogue, customer support options and service efficiency).
  • Unbiased evaluation: Cardmates highlights real performance and conducts impartial checks to make sure that the user experience will be truly satisfactory.
  • Updated content: All materials published are regularly revised and refreshed with new data as long as any change appears.
  • Strong focus on responsible gambling: Support for GambleAware, Gamstop and other similar affiliations to ensure players’ well-being.

What’s more, access to all recommendations and guides is completely free. Despite Cardmates having paid partnerships with the gambling brands mentioned on the site, their managers have no influence on the position in rankings. The UK focus might be a slick kick against the resource. But casino gaming knows no borders, and many sites examined by these guys have a global presence. If you are looking for a dynamic review website, Cardmates has to be it.

Gambling.com – Coverage of Multiple iGaming Verticals

Gambling.com is recognised globally. The portal covers over 20 countries and is available in several languages. In addition to casino gaming, verticals like betting, poker and bingo are addressed. Where the platform stands out is a comparison tool with which users can collate several gambling brands. However, such massive coverage affects the quality of work, naturally.

What’s Less Emphasised?

  • Many of their gambling site reviews lack transparent info on deposit range, withdrawal times and potential fees for each payment method. SLA details are also rarely pulled out.
  • Proof of the team's personal experience from interaction with the reviewed website seems limited sometimes. Occasional user ratings and feedback wither interest.
  • Another slight misstep is a bit confusing front-page navigation.

International Gambling Review Site – Casino.org

Casino.org combines multiple markets, including Canada, U.S. and UK. The resource feels lively and tailors to a wide range of casino gaming tastes. Notable sections are how-to guides and unsafe platforms that should be avoided. The gallery of reviewed sites impresses, but such a high workload also leads to important details not being specified. Changes in bonuses are not timely updated. Users can raise issues via the on-site complaints service, but requests oftentimes remain unsatisfied.

What’s Less Emphasised?

  • While expert reviews are rather strong, real-user experiences are less visible.
  • Hours of live chat operation and email response times aren’t always clearly listed. This makes comparison and an informative choice harder.
  • An alternate iGaming vertical would be a good addition for broader audience appeal.

Casino Guide – Gambling Portal With a UK Focus

Casino Guide is all about games of chance, which corresponds to its name. The team provides insights to help enthusiasts from the UK find their ideal venue. Beyond reviewing sites, they also cover bonuses, payment methods, software provider info and share manuals for playing different gambling games. Although Casino Guide started its way in 2009, the volume of content published is rather modest.

What’s Missing?

  • An additional iGaming vertical, like betting or poker, for targeting a broader audience.
  • While mobile compatibility and promos are wrapped in reviews, payment details (min/max deposits and withdrawals) are not detailed.
  • No gambling news. No content about emerging trends, recent innovations or regulatory developments.

BestCasino – Informative Hub & Review Platform

BestCasino publishes gambling site UK reviews that are really well worth a look. Six languages are supported. Visitors can browse platforms by minimum deposit and payment methods, or directly proceed to lists with ‘fast withdrawal’ or ‘new’ casinos. These guys also run news and informative articles about gambling and highlight industry updates. Still, this portal cannot be considered the mecca of all things iGaming.

What’s Missing?

  • The site is dedicated to casino gaming alone, with no mention of alternate formats: bingo, poker or sports betting.
  • Bonus-wise content is limited to basic options, compared to Cardmates, where users browse through around 50 pages.
  • No comparison tools that let players draw parallels between several brands and make smarter choices.

Wrapping Up

All of the mentioned portals share a commitment to helping players find the right international or UK gambling site for poker and casinos. Some also give recommendations to sports betting and bingo fans. Visiting such resources and browsing their rankings will be smart to make informed choices. Their staff has longstanding expertise, so the provided insights are valuable and cut the risk of choosing trash.

First Ministry-Certified Hair Transplant Training in Turkey: Vera Clinic Announces Vera Academy

Vera Clinic has announced plans for Vera Academy for hair transplantation, extending its Ministry-certified training legacy from plastic surgery into Turkey’s flagship specialty of hair restoration. The new academy, still finalizing its curriculum, will be the first dual-certified program in Turkey under both the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, ensuring internationally aligned standards for doctors and greater confidence for American medical travelers.

A Trusted Legacy in Certified Medical Education

Vera Clinic’s first Vera Academy, completed earlier this year, was officially approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health to train doctors in aesthetic and cosmetic procedures. The program covered facial aesthetics, Botox applications, and body contouring techniques, with guest faculty from Cerrahpaşa Hospital. A unique module on patient psychology and communication set it apart, helping participants better understand the emotional dynamics behind aesthetic care. Every seat in the 12-person cohort was booked within days, earning strong praise for its practical depth and innovative additions.

Expanding Into Hair Transplantation

Now, Vera Clinic is channeling that expertise into hair transplantation, Turkey’s flagship medical tourism specialty. The upcoming Vera Academy for Hair Transplantation (while still finalizing its curriculum) will be the first dual-certified program in Turkey under both the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. Anticipated training topics include Sapphire FUE (introduced by Vera Clinic in 2017), DHI techniques, donor preservation strategies, and Stem Cell Therapy integration for enhanced graft vitality.

Confidence for U.S. Medical Travelers

The United States remains a key source of patients for Turkey’s booming hair transplant industry. This formal training program ensures that American travelers will encounter surgeons trained under transparent, government-endorsed standards.

“Credibility is the currency of medical tourism,” said Kazım Sipahi, CEO of Vera Clinic. “By formalizing education for our doctors, we give U.S. patients confidence equal to or greater than what they’d expect at home.”

About Vera Clinic

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Istanbul, Vera Clinic is a global leader in hair transplantation, cosmetic surgery, and dental aesthetics. Having treated over 40,000 patients from more than 40 countries, the clinic combines advanced medical expertise with personalized, patient-centered care.

Aircapture Launches First Commercial DAC Facility in Japan

Aircapture, a pioneer in modular direct air capture (DAC) technology, today announced an agreement with AIZAWA Concrete Corporation, a pioneering Japanese concrete manufacturer, to deploy a DAC system at AIZAWA’s Fukushima RDM Center, the company’s research and development production hub located in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture. The installation marks Aircapture's first project in Japan and demonstrates how DAC technology can integrate with industrial manufacturing processes.

The partnership addresses a critical challenge that has grown more pressing in recent years: Japan's limited CO₂ supply and an unstable procurement system. Concrete manufacturers need high-purity CO₂ for production, but traditional supply chains reliant on industrial byproducts create price volatility, supply disruptions, and additional emissions.

Since launching its aNET ZERO Initiative in January 2022, AIZAWA has been leading an industry-wide movement to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2035.

The initiative now includes 55 leading Japanese concrete manufacturers, each undertaking activities in their respective regions to advance decarbonization across the cement and concrete sector.

The initiative promotes the transfer and adoption of AIZAWA’s decarbonization technologies, joint development of carbon-removal solutions, and establishment of a tamper-proof carbon-reduction tracking system using blockchain. Among these efforts, the method of permanently mineralizing CO₂ in concrete has been positioned as one of the key approaches. However, faced with supply constraints in Japan, the company has been exploring the use of direct air capture (DAC) as an alternative sourcing solution.

Aircapture's modular DAC systems offer a solution by capturing clean CO₂ on-site directly from the atmosphere. This provides manufacturers like AIZAWA with a reliable supply that supports their decarbonization goals while enabling permanent carbon sequestration in building materials.

Through this partnership, Aircapture will install its system on-site at AIZAWA’s facility, where the company has been advancing methods to permanently mineralize CO₂. The captured gas will be injected into wastewater from manufacturing operations to create calcium carbonate, which can then be reused as raw material for new concrete.

By combining DAC with these existing innovations, AIZAWA is addressing Japan's CO₂ supply challenges while advancing industrial decarbonization. This process helps cut costs by reusing waste streams, reduces the need for imported materials, lowers the carbon footprint of construction, and supports Japan’s broader efforts to decarbonize industry.

"Japan has always been at the forefront of industrial innovation, and AIZAWA shares our vision to transform the industry," said Matt Atwood, founder and CEO of Aircapture. "This partnership demonstrates how DAC can seamlessly integrate into existing manufacturing processes while creating permanent carbon sequestration. We're proving that atmospheric CO₂ has become a valuable industrial feedstock."

The project showcases Aircapture's modular approach, where containerized systems can be rapidly deployed at industrial sites. By eliminating transportation costs and emissions, the technology provides manufacturers with a reliable, on-site supply while reducing operational complexity.

The Fukushima installation creates a circular manufacturing approach where atmospheric carbon becomes a building block for construction materials, offering a model for industrial carbon utilization that can be replicated across the concrete industry.

Aircapture has projects in development across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, advancing commercially viable integration of carbon removal into existing industries. Installation is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.

About Aircapture

Aircapture, headquartered in Berkeley, CA, is a leader in the deployment of direct air capture (DAC) solutions, delivering atmospheric CO₂ as a circular commodity for industrial and commercial customers. As the first truly modular DAC solution, Aircapture offers unparalleled flexibility, enabling customers to seamlessly integrate clean CO₂ into their production processes on-site. Founded in 2019, Aircapture is pioneering global projects in carbon sequestration, industrial decarbonization, and localized CO₂ supply. With a dedicated team of engineers, chemists, and entrepreneurs, Aircapture is redefining how carbon is captured, utilized, and recycled, driving the transition to a circular carbon economy.

For more information on Aircapture’s work or partnership opportunities, visit www.aircapture.com.

About AIZAWA

AIZAWA is a Japan-based concrete producer with a longstanding commitment to innovation, performance, and sustainability. The company is dedicated to creating new corporate value by combining concrete materials with advanced technologies under the philosophy of Innovate, Challenge, and Trust.

Leveraging industry–academia collaborations with institutions such as MIT and Delft University of Technology, AIZAWA has rapidly introduced groundbreaking innovations, including Basilisk self-healing concrete, which utilizes bacterial metabolic functions to autonomously repair cracks, and F3DP (Flying 3D Printer), a large engine-drone system that aerially stacks fast-drying cement-based materials.

Through these initiatives, AIZAWA is driving a digital transformation (DX) to evolve from a traditional materials industry into an innovation- and marketing-oriented group centered on smart materials. As of the fiscal year ending March 2025, the company recorded 24.1 billion yen in standalone sales and employs 620 people.

Scleroderma Research Foundation Announces Star-Studded Lineup for Cool Comedy • Hot Cuisine

The Scleroderma Research Foundation (SRF), the country's first and leading nonprofit investor in medical research into scleroderma, will host its annual Cool Comedy • HotCuisine fundraiser Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. The event will feature host Jeff Ross, along with comedians Hannibal Buress, Kelsey Cook, Jim Gaffigan, and Nikki Glaser, with a special guest appearance by Katie Couric.

Cool Comedy • HotCuisine was organized and produced for decades by the late Bob Saget, whose sister Gay lost her life due to complications from scleroderma. Bob devoted himself to raising funds for scleroderma research, was a dedicated champion for the scleroderma community, and tirelessly drove the mission of the SRF forward for 30 years.

This year, the SRF will present Adam Duritz of Counting Crows with the Bob Saget Legacy Award, in recognition of his steadfast support for scleroderma research and his commitment to carrying forward Bob’s commitment to the SRF’s vital work. Adam has demonstrated his dedication through his five performances at past Cool Comedy • HotCuisine events, and as a generous donor, as well as a cherished friend of Bob.

"This year's lineup represents people who not only loved Bob dearly, but who understand the power of laughter to heal and bring hope," says Kelly Rizzo, event co-chair. "Each of these incredible performers is helping us honor Bob's legacy while advancing the critical research that brings us closer to finding a cure for scleroderma."

"Bob Saget taught us that comedy isn't just about making people laugh, it's about bringing people together for something bigger than ourselves. Every year at Cool Comedy • HotCuisine, we honor his memory by doing what he did best: turning laughter into hope,” said Jeff Ross. “This incredible lineup of comedians is here because they loved Bob and they believe in this cause.”

Jeff Ross, known as the "Roastmaster General," will serve as the host for the event. Audiences can look forward to sets from Emmy-nominated writer and stand-up comedian Hannibal Buress, rising star Kelsey Cook, Grammy-nominated comedian and bestselling author Jim Gaffigan, and Golden Globe-nominated comedian and podcast host Nikki Glaser. The event will also feature a special guest appearance by the legendary journalist and television personality Katie Couric.

"What makes this event so special is how it combines two of life's greatest pleasures—incredible comedy and delicious food—all in service of something much bigger than entertainment," says Susan Feniger, celebrated chef and founding SRF board member. "Every laugh and every bite brings us one step closer to ending scleroderma's impact on families everywhere."

Cool Comedy • HotCuisine is co-chaired by Susan Feniger, Regina Hall, Caroline Hirsch, and Kelly Rizzo. All proceeds from the event will directly support the SRF's mission, funding cutting-edge research programs and educational outreach.

The SRF is proud to present Cool Comedy • HotCuisine in partnership with the New York Comedy Festival. Established by Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the iconic Carolines comedy venue and longtime SRF collaborator, this comedic celebration is the largest and longest-running comedy festival in the United States.

EchoTwin AI Secures $8 Million Seed Round to Drive Expansion of AI-Powered Self-Healing Urban Infrastructure

EchoTwin AI, a pioneer in AI-powered urban infrastructure intelligence, today announced the successful close of its $8 million seed funding round led by Metis Ventures, alongside a global syndicate of strategic and financial investors. 

The smart cities sector is experiencing unprecedented momentum, fueled by rapid urbanization, surging demand for sustainable infrastructure, and breakthroughs in IoT, AI, 5G, and edge computing.

EchoTwin equips municipalities with real-time visibility and actionable intelligence to automatically detect, predict, and resolve urban challenges. With our platform, cities can truly ‘see, think, and act’—delivering cleaner, safer, and more sustainable self-healing urban ecosystems.”

The funding will accelerate EchoTwin’s international expansion in the rapidly growing smart cities market, which is projected to reach $4 trillion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate of 18% to 20%, with fleet-based AI monitoring emerging as the fastest-growing segment.

“EchoTwin is rewriting the infrastructure playbook—one that hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades. Instead of embedding sensors into concrete, Chris and his team are transforming moving fleets into real-time infrastructure intelligence. It flips the smart cities script. They’re not just building technology for cities. They’re building an AI-powered cognitive layer that helps cities think, manage, and self-heal,” said Merve Zabcı, managing partner of Metis Ventures. 

EchoTwin AI is actively piloting its platform with major agencies across an impressive list of dynamic global cities across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.

With the smart cities global market projected to nearly double over the next five years, fueled by technologies that enable real-time monitoring, analytics, and automation, EchoTwin AI is leading the smart cities category—enabling cities to become more resilient, adaptive, and intelligent.

About EchoTwin AI

EchoTwin AI is a leader in infrastructure intelligence, redefining how cities are managed. Powered by a proprietary visual intelligence engine with full spatial reasoning, EchoTwin transforms municipal fleets into mobile urban sensors—creating living digital twins that provide real-time insights into infrastructure, compliance, and safety. By enabling municipalities to proactively monitor, predict, and resolve issues, EchoTwin helps build resilient, self-healing, and sustainable urban ecosystems. More than “smart cities,” EchoTwin is advancing the era of cognitive cities—urban environments with the awareness to see, think, and act on challenges in real time. Learn more at www.echotwin.ai.

DentaTur: A New Era of Dental Care with Modern Technology

The Turkey-based dental center DentaTur is announcing its updated approach to dentistry, built on the latest dental innovations and updates to international guidelines and policies as of 2025.

This year has brought about several significant changes to dentistry's technology and techniques, including new maintenance protocols, improved digital precision, and advanced dental implants. Dental centers using newer tools and methods sometimes increase their prices to accommodate these updates, making these advancements less accessible than they could be. Fortunately, DentaTur can offer quality dental care without the prices usually associated with it, primarily due to its location.

The Benefits of Health Tourism

Health tourism has grown in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. Consider the cost of diagnostics; in some places, getting dental X-rays or temporary crowns would add to the price of the visit. At DentaTur, however, all diagnostics, including initial examinations and consultations, are free.

Many of their treatments are available at reduced prices compared to dental centers in other countries. While a dentist in the UK might provide porcelain crowns for somewhere between $670 and $2,000 per crown, DentaTur only charges around $135 per crown. Despite being just about a fifth of the price, DentaTur's crowns are comparable to those offered in the UK and surrounding nations. The same can be said about many of their other treatments, including veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening, and more.

Prioritizing Safety with Technology

Above all else, DentaTur's top priority is its clientele's safety and comfort. This ethos is most evident through their strict adherence to the latest international guidelines and dental technology advancements. Implementing these new protocols and tools helps reduce the risk of complications like peri-implantitis, or inflammation developed around dental implants.

Additionally, DentaTur's use of improved surface treatments and advanced materials like zirconium helps facilitate osseointegration, i.e., the connection between the jaw and an implant. Speeding up this process shortens the time an implant is fully set, reducing the likelihood of complications.

Advanced Treatments for Patient-Centered Care

Since adopting their latest dentistry tools, DentaTur's medical staff has effectively utilized recent developments in the dentistry field, like guided surgery technologies and digital navigation. These techniques allow dentists to employ comprehensive full-arch rehabilitation solutions, including All-on-4 dental implants, 3-on-6, All-on-6, and All-on-8 dental implant protocols for patients seeking full-mouth dental restoration.

DentaTur's commitment to staying current with dental trends and technologies showcases the extent to which the company's staff upholds its dedication to patient-centered care. By maintaining a culture of innovation, DentaTur can provide quality service without compromising its patients' physical and financial well-being through its safer, more predictable, and longer-lasting dental implant solutions.

About DentaTur

DentaTur is an AACI-accredited dental center based in Antalya, Turkey. It provides several advanced dental treatments, including veneers, crowns, implants, and root canal treatments. Due to the lower cost of doing business in Turkey, its prices are generally lower than those at other dental centers. The clinic treats patients from all across the world.

Capital, Growth, and Dynamism: Why Investors Are Turning to the U.S. Market

For decades, the financial world has closely observed the development of the U.S. capital market. While Europe often embodies stability and tradition, the U.S. market is seen as a driver of growth, innovation, and dynamism. This contrast not only creates differences in return opportunities but also shapes the strategic direction of companies. The question of why the U.S. stock market outperforms the EU market, and why DNV Media GmbH is entering the U.S. through the acquisition of StocksToday.com, can largely be explained by a combination of structural strength, economic environment, and strategic decisions. Both investors and companies find in the United States a platform that provides not only capital but also trust and future prospects.

At the core lies the question of what makes the U.S. market so robust and attractive. From the innovation power of Silicon Valley to the global influence of Wall Street, it is the historical, economic, and cultural forces combined that form a unique ecosystem for investors. Companies like DNV Media GmbH increasingly recognize these differences and leverage market entry through StocksToday.com as a strategic milestone, not only to gain visibility but also to unlock growth potential in one of the world’s most important economic regions.

Historical Development of U.S. and EU Financial Markets

The history of financial markets in the U.S. and Europe has developed in parallel, yet the differences are fundamental. While exchanges in London, Frankfurt, or Paris symbolized stability and conservative growth for centuries, Wall Street in New York pursued expansion, risk-taking, and the consistent adoption of technological advancements. This historical divergence continues to shape perceptions of the markets today. The U.S. has established itself as a country where investors are willing to embrace greater risk in exchange for higher returns.

Europe, in contrast, is often characterized by regulatory hurdles and more cautious investors. While the EU market offers security and a solid foundation, it lags behind U.S. markets in dynamic sectors such as technology, biotechnology, or renewable energy. The differences are evident not only in stock indices but also in the mentality of companies and investors. In the U.S., innovation is seen as a given, while Europe leans more toward preservation. The strength of the U.S. market lies in its innovative power, while Europe often struggles with structural barriers.

Economic Framework: Growth and Regulation Compared

One key reason why the U.S. appears so much more attractive to investors than Europe lies in its economic framework. The U.S. benefits from a domestic market of over 330 million people, a common language, and a federal structure that still provides relatively uniform conditions for businesses. The EU market, by contrast, is fragmented into 27 member states, with multiple languages and legal systems that frequently slow growth. These differences directly affect the dynamism of the capital markets.

The contrast is especially visible in regulation. Europe is known for its strict rules and bureaucratic processes, while the U.S. relies more on market-driven principles and flexibility. This allows businesses to respond more quickly to changes, bring innovations to market, and raise capital more effectively. At the same time, investor confidence in U.S. exchanges is supported by transparent mechanisms and a long track record of success. In Europe, by contrast, companies are often slowed down by complex regulations, which can be a major disadvantage for start-ups.

When it comes to economic growth, the U.S. has consistently outperformed most EU countries for decades. The labor market is more flexible, entrepreneurship is more deeply rooted, and venture capital is more widely available. This combination makes the U.S. a magnet for capital flows, while Europe, despite its stability, is often perceived as less dynamic.

Investment Opportunities and Risks: What Investors Should Consider

The U.S. market offers investors a wide range of opportunities rarely matched in Europe. From global technology leaders such as Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet to emerging start-ups in artificial intelligence or biotechnology, the spectrum of investment options is vast. High market liquidity further ensures that even large-scale investments can be executed without significant price distortions. For institutional investors as well as private ones, this translates into greater security in trading and better opportunities for portfolio diversification.

Another advantage lies in the innovative spirit of U.S. companies. Nowhere else are so many new products, services, and technologies developed and successfully brought to market. This culture of innovation not only attracts capital but also ensures that the U.S. market sets the pace for entire industries worldwide. However, the risks should not be underestimated. High levels of dynamism also mean strong price fluctuations, particularly in times of political uncertainty or when the Federal Reserve changes its monetary policy.

For European investors, it is essential to weigh opportunities against risks. Currency risks are significant, since U.S. investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations between the euro and the dollar can have a considerable impact on returns. There are also industry-specific risks, especially in young tech companies, where outcomes are difficult to predict. Investors should therefore focus on diversification rather than concentrating on a single sector.

A brief overview highlights the key factors:

  • Opportunities: High liquidity, strong innovation, global market leadership, access to venture capital.
  • Risks: Currency risks, volatility, dependence on monetary policy, vulnerability of dynamic industries.

This balance of opportunities and risks makes the U.S. market particularly exciting. With the right strategy, it can deliver significant advantages. Investors who accept its dynamism and address challenges proactively stand to benefit in the long run—opportunities that Europe cannot match in the same way.

The Strategic Move: How DNV Media GmbH Enters the U.S. Market with a Platform Acquisition

For companies, the question is not only when but also how to enter the U.S. market. DNV Media GmbH has taken this step by acquiring StocksToday.com, sending a clear signal. This move not only opens the door to one of the world’s most important capital markets but also strengthens the company’s position in a highly competitive environment. Such acquisitions are usually more than just investments—they represent long-term strategic decisions for growth and dynamism.

The significance of this move is multi-layered. First, DNV Media GmbH gains direct access to a platform already established in the U.S. financial landscape. Second, it underlines the company’s international outlook, which strengthens its reputation and creates new opportunities for collaboration. In a world where data and information are decisive competitive factors, owning a high-reach platform offers enormous potential for visibility and influence.

This step also demonstrates that DNV Media GmbH has clearly recognized the differences between markets. While Europe remains fragmented and regulation-heavy, the U.S. offers a comparatively homogenous structure that is especially beneficial for digital business models. The acquisition of StocksToday.com is thus not only an investment in a market but also in the company’s long-term viability. Other businesses may view this as an example of how to position themselves strategically to succeed in global competition.

Why the U.S. Will Remain the Benchmark for the Future

Looking ahead, the U.S. role in global financial markets is not merely a temporary phenomenon but a structural advantage. The United States combines innovation, capital availability, and entrepreneurship in a way that will likely grow even stronger in the decades to come. With the rise of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and digital finance, U.S. companies are again positioning themselves at the forefront, setting the global standard. Europe, while contributing individual flagship projects, continues to lag behind overall.

A key factor is the flexibility of the U.S. system. Time and again, the country has shown resilience—emerging stronger from crises such as the 2008 financial crash, the Covid-19 pandemic, or periods of geopolitical tension. The U.S. market has proven highly robust, consistently delivering long-term returns. Combined with the global importance of the U.S. dollar as the world’s leading currency, this creates an environment that is difficult for international investors to ignore. Europe, meanwhile, continues to struggle with internal divisions that prevent a unified, powerful market stance.

The role of large technology companies cannot be underestimated either. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Tesla are no longer just companies but global ecosystems that create jobs, drive industries, and move capital on a massive scale. They add stability and dynamism to the U.S. market even in turbulent times. Europe, in contrast, can point to far fewer truly global corporations. The comparison below illustrates the outlook:

U.S. (USA)

  • Innovation power: Very high, driven by tech and start-ups
  • Capital availability: High, supported by strong venture capital markets
  • Crisis resilience: Strong, with quick recovery
  • Global influence: Leading, dominates currency and markets

EU (Europe)

  • Innovation power: Medium, often slowed by regulation
  • Capital availability: Low to medium, fragmented
  • Crisis resilience: Weaker, with slower adjustment
  • Global influence: More regional and less dynamic

Overall, the picture is clear: the U.S. will remain the benchmark when it comes to financial markets, innovation, and global influence. Companies that recognize these opportunities can secure decisive competitive advantages. That is why DNV Media GmbH’s entry into the U.S. market through the acquisition of StocksToday.com marks such an important milestone. It underlines that looking across the Atlantic is no longer just an option—but for many, a necessity.

A Transatlantic Perspective

The comparison between U.S. and European markets shows that both regions have distinct strengths, yet the U.S. remains the global leader when it comes to growth, innovation, and investor confidence. Europe offers stability, legal certainty, and long-standing traditions, but it often struggles with fragmentation, regulation, and slower adaptation to new industries. The U.S., on the other hand, thrives on risk-taking, capital availability, and entrepreneurial drive—factors that continue to attract global attention and financial flows.

For investors, the transatlantic perspective offers valuable insights. A balanced strategy that takes into account Europe’s stability while seizing U.S. dynamism can create robust portfolios. Companies, too, must weigh the benefits of each region. For those seeking rapid growth, global influence, and access to innovation ecosystems, the U.S. presents unparalleled opportunities.

The strategic step by DNV Media GmbH with the acquisition of StocksToday.com exemplifies how European companies can establish a strong foothold in this environment. By investing not only in market access but also in visibility and influence, the company positions itself at the intersection of two financial worlds. This move reflects a broader trend: Europe can no longer ignore the gravitational pull of the U.S. market.

In the end, the story is not one of competition alone but of complementarity. The strengths of Europe—stability, heritage, and structure—can combine with U.S. dynamism, innovation, and global reach to form a balanced global strategy. Yet it is the United States that continues to set the pace, and those willing to engage with its unique mix of risk and opportunity are likely to remain ahead in the race for growth and influence.

X-VPN Highlights Privacy-First Approach with New Cross-Platform Upgrades

With its growing user base, X-VPN has faced questions about how it protects data and whether its no-log policy is consistently applied. In response, the company has outlined how its privacy model works and announced several upgrades for both free and premium users. These include enhanced security options now available on PC and mobile, reinforcing X-VPN’s position as a service built with safety and privacy by design.

Security Features Integrated by Default

1. RAM-only servers designed to avoid persistent storage

At the heart of X-VPN’s security model is RAM-only server architecture. These servers store data in volatile memory, which is wiped clean every time the server reboots or a session ends. 

2. AES-256 encryption on every connection

The service secures traffic with AES-256 encryption, an industry-standard symmetric cipher used broadly across security applications. This helps prevent data interception on unsecured networks such as airport or café Wi-Fi. Encryption is active by default, without requiring manual setup.

3. Kill switch: Protection when you least expect it

VPN connections can drop without warning. When that happens, your device may continue browsing the internet, exposing your real IP and traffic.

To prevent this, X-VPN includes a Kill Switch feature. If the VPN disconnects, Kill Switch can automatically cut off network access until a secure tunnel is reestablished—helping reduce the risk of IP or traffic exposure.

The feature is available on major platforms and does not require a premium subscription. Feature availability and behavior may vary by platform and app version; once enabled, it runs automatically in the background.

Privacy Protections by Default

1. Sign-up optional; basic use doesn’t require personal identifiers

Many VPNs offer privacy—but ask for your email, phone number, or full name first. X-VPN does the opposite.

You can start using the service without creating an account. If you choose to register, pseudonyms are supported. For paid plans, privacy-preserving payment options are available; anonymity depends on the payment method, provider policies, and user settings.

2. No-activity-logs policy and how it’s implemented

According to X-VPN, it does not store users’ IP addresses, the server IP connected to, browsing history, DNS queries, or other information that could be linked to an individual. X-VPN states it does not sell users’ browsing or connection data and does not disclose it to third parties for marketing purposes. For permitted processing (e.g., fraud prevention, billing, legal obligations) and scope, see the privacy policy.

As described in the X-VPN Trust Center, the company outlines the technical measures designed to support this policy, including:

  • TLS-based tunnel encryption with key rotation and HKDF-based derivation to protect session establishment and data in transit.
  • RAM-only processing and private DNS resolvers so packet handling is designed for zero retention on both client and server sides.

Together, these measures are intended to ensure that user IPs, connected server IPs, browsing activity, DNS requests, or content access are not retained. For the exact scope, operational exceptions, and retention practices, users should review the X-VPN privacy policy and materials in the trust center. The additional technical disclosure is provided to enhance transparency for users and reviewers.

3. Privacy by design: Enabled by default

These choices aren’t hidden behind toggles or buried in the settings menu. Privacy is the product’s starting point, not a user preference. From the first connection, core protections are enabled by default; some advanced controls (e.g., Kill Switch) require user activation.

Even without additional configuration, the service is designed to minimize data collection; for scope and exceptions, see the privacy policy.

Free Plan Features with Security Included

1. Manual server selection without registration

Unlike most free VPNs, X-VPN allows free mobile users to manually select from 26 server regions—including cities across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific. This avoids auto-routing through distant, overloaded servers and gives users more control over both speed and privacy.

There’s no sign-up required, and the server list is accessible directly from the app. Free users can change regions at any time, tailoring connections to location-based needs or performance.

2. Kill switch unlocked for free users

Many VPNs restrict Kill Switch features to premium subscribers. X-VPN does not.

As of August 2025, Kill Switch is available on mobile for all users, regardless of payment. Free users can activate it from within the app settings, ensuring their real IP and traffic are protected even if the VPN connection drops.

This inclusion sets X-VPN apart from the majority of free VPN services, where disconnection means automatic exposure.

3. A free plan with privacy-focused practices

X-VPN‘s free plan has these features:

  •  X-VPN states it does not use ad-tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
  • X-VPN states it does not sell users’ browsing data.

X-VPN states that its no-activity-logs policy applies to both free and paid tiers; see the privacy policy for scope.

Download Access

X-VPN is available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and other major platforms. Users can get the latest version at the X-VPN download page.

Security by Design

No security technology can provide 100% protection. Effectiveness depends on device settings, network conditions, app version, and user behavior. This announcement is for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, financial, or security advice. Users should review the privacy policy and product documentation to understand how features work in their specific context.

About X-VPN

Founded in 2017, X-VPN is a global internet privacy company dedicated to enhancing online security, privacy, and freedom. Serving over 100 million users in more than 190 countries, X-VPN offers free and premium VPN plans on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Chrome, and Chromebook. The service operates under a strict no-activity-logs policy and uses RAM-only infrastructure with AES-256 encryption to minimize tracking, storage or sharing of user activity. By providing free VPN services without requiring account registration, X-VPN makes secure and private browsing accessible worldwide. For more information, visit xvpn.io.

Reputation Pros Named Best Online Reputation Management Services for 2025 as Brands Prioritize Pushing Down Negative Google Results

As digital scrutiny intensifies, a new list of the Best Online Reputation Management Services for 2025 has been released, spotlighting firms that specialize in pushing down negative content on Google, a growing concern among executives, public figures, and businesses navigating the risks of a search-first society.

At the top of this year’s ranking is Reputation Pros, recognized for its proven ability to suppress high-authority negative content, restore online credibility, and deliver consistent results across complex ORM campaigns.

The annual list, published by TidewaterNews.com, highlights agencies that have demonstrated measurable success in removing or de-ranking damaging search results, repairing brand equity, and managing digital reputations in high-pressure environments.

“One bad Google result can cost a company millions. The services recognized this year excel at burying inaccurate, outdated, or defamatory content while amplifying truthful and brand-positive pages,” said Daniel Kessler, senior analyst at TidewaterNews.com.

Among those honored in 2025 are:

The Need for Suppression Overload

According to a 2025 survey by Forrester Research, 82% of consumers “rarely scroll past page one” on Google, while 41% say negative results reduce their likelihood of contacting a company.

This trend has sparked an exponential demand for SERP suppression strategies, including the creation of long-form content, link dilution, schema manipulation, and digital PR—all aimed at pushing negative Google results off the first page.

Entity-Based Optimization as the New Standard

The top-performing firms in this year's roundup incorporate entity-based SEO, ensuring that branded queries are met with authoritative, high-trust content across the Knowledge Graph, Google News, and organic SERPs.

“Reputation management has matured,” says Kessler. “We’re no longer talking about link spam or fake profiles. The winners in 2025 are building semantic relevance and optimizing topical authority using real content and PR infrastructure.”

About the Selection Methodology

The firms were evaluated using:

  • Success rate in negative content suppression (Google, Bing)
  • Turnaround time for visible improvement
  • Breadth of strategy (technical SEO, PR, schema, reviews)
  • Third-party reputation (Trustpilot, BBB, Glassdoor)
  • Legal compliance and transparency standards

TidewaterNews.com analyzed more than 35 agencies globally, narrowing down to the top 10 based on client outcomes, measurable impact, and service innovation.

Final Word

As the cost of a damaged digital footprint climbs, so does the sophistication of the firms tasked with restoring it. The best online reputation management services in 2025 are not just cleaning up search results; they are reshaping digital identity at the algorithmic level.

FAQs

Q: What is online reputation management?

A: Online reputation management (ORM) refers to the strategic process of influencing how individuals or brands appear in online search results. This includes improving the visibility of positive content, pushing down or suppressing negative results, and managing the public perception across digital platforms. Firms like Reputation Pros specialize in this field by combining search engine optimization (SEO), content strategy, and media outreach to help clients take control of their online narrative.

Q: How much does online reputation management cost?

A: Online reputation management (ORM) pricing varies based on the complexity and goals of the campaign. Entry-level services typically start at $3,000 to $5,000 per month, while more complex efforts, such as suppressing high-authority negative content or rebuilding an executive’s digital presence, range from $5,000 to $10,000 per month. For high-profile individuals, including celebrities and public figures, full-scale ORM campaigns may exceed $10,000 per month, depending on the visibility of the content and the platforms involved.

Q: How long does it take to push down negative Google results?

A: When hiring a professional firm like Reputation Pros, most campaigns begin showing measurable improvements within the first 30 to 60 days. However, fully suppressing negative content, particularly from high-authority domains, typically takes an average of 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity and visibility of the content.

Q: What are the main strategies used to suppress unwanted search results?

A: Leading firms such as Reputation Pros or Keever SEO use a mix of high-authority content publishing, technical SEO, media outreach, schema optimization, and brand-specific content architecture.

Q: Is it possible to remove negative content from Google entirely?

A: Complete removal is rare and typically only applies to content that violates Google's policies (e.g., copyright violations, sensitive personal data). Most solutions focus on suppression, not deletion.

Q: Who typically hires these services?

A: Clients range from public figures and executives to law firms, medical professionals, and SMBs facing brand damage, defamation, or misleading search engine narratives.

Founded by reputation management expert Scott Keever, Reputation Pros helps high-profile individuals and organizations improve and protect their digital presence. Through strategic content, SEO, and online monitoring, the firm influences search results and ensures that online narratives align with each client’s personal or professional reputation goals.

Entain ANZ’s Andrew Vouris Set for the Stage at Regulating the Game 2026

Entain ANZ chief Andrew Vouris will speak at Regulating the Game 2026, running March 9–11 at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. The forum brings regulators, operators, advisers, and researchers together for three days of practical, hands-on sessions that favour real-world solutions over set-piece speeches.

Vouris arrives with fresh momentum. He took the interim reins in June 2025 and was confirmed as permanent CEO for Australia and New Zealand in August, following Dean Shannon’s departure and a global search. The appointment capped a stretch in which he steadied the ship, kept key partnerships on track, and pushed for a workplace culture that treats compliance and customer care as the everyday job, not an occasional project. People inside the group say the appeal was simple: he listens, he digs into the details, and he doesn’t dodge the hard calls.

On stage in Sydney, expect him to sketch how Entain plans to grow without losing sight of safeguards. Public expectations have climbed; so have regulatory demands. That combination leaves little room for vague promises. He’s likely to talk through the nuts and bolts: stronger account-level controls, clearer options for customers who want to set limits or take breaks, better data hygiene, and product oversight that keeps pace with rapid release cycles. The message is likely to be cooperative rather than combative, working with authorities, showing evidence, and adjusting where the data says a change is needed.

For ordinary players, resources like the official Esports Insider website are currently being used to stay abreast of the latest platforms and features. For Australians, this market is growing through small, practical wins that matter to day-to-day players: faster, more reliable withdrawals, bonus terms you can actually understand, and simple tools to set limits or take a breather. For a forum built on evidence and workable fixes, that kind of outside lens adds useful context instead of just hype.

Via new bigwigs like Vouris, the industry is expected to look at markets like it as a good barometer of where further growth and gains are still possible despite strict local regulations. The conference’s founder, Paul Newson of Vanguard Overwatch, has pointed to Vouris’s background across wagering and esports as a useful lens for the week. That fits the event’s tone. Panels often pair a regulator with an operator and an independent expert, then walk through what actually happened in a case. Amid the increasing realignment of geopolitics and world markets, sessions this year are tipped to spend more time on prevention and advertising rules, plus the technology that helps supervisors spot trouble earlier.

A new addition for 2026 is the RTG Global Awards, created to highlight work that moves standards forward. Categories cover safer-gambling leadership and tools that make compliance easier to execute at scale, among others. Nominations remain open into early 2026, giving teams time to compile evidence rather than marketing lines. Beyond the hotel ballroom, the program stretches out into the city with a showcase at the Sydney Opera House.

Vouris’s brief spans the Tasman, and the New Zealand piece matters. Entain is the long-term operating partner for TAB NZ, the statutory betting monopoly. A policy shift in 2023 tightened the net around offshore operators and formed the backdrop for an upfront NZ$100 million payment from Entain to TAB NZ as part of the partnership. The arrangement has become a talking point in debates about channelisation and community returns: how to keep betting onshore, fund local racing and sport, and still give customers the protections they expect.

In Australia, the picture keeps moving. Governments at the state and federal levels are refining rules on advertising, affordability checks, data use, and operator-led interventions. The direction of travel is clear: prove you can prevent harm earlier, and show your working. That means investment in detection models that flag risky patterns, staff training that produces consistent decisions, and product changes that make the safer choice the easy choice. The higher bar isn’t just legal; it’s reputational. Trust takes time to build and seconds to lose.

Regulating the Game is built for now: a mix of plenary debates and hands-on sessions, licensing scenarios, enforcement lessons, and analytics from both sides. This is also where people swap what actually persuades regulators, what a compliant customer journey feels like, and which fixes survive a live platform. In Sydney, Entain gets a clear stage to set regional priorities in front of those who’ll test them, while regulators push for sharper standards, researchers and providers see the real constraints. With Andrew Vouris on the bill, the March conversations will help set the tone for 2026.

Homevy Releases Dubai's First Airbnb Property Performance Optimizer Bot

Homevy, Dubai's leading short-term rental management company, has announced the launch of its proprietary Property Performance Optimizer Bot, making it the first AI-driven daily performance tool specifically designed for the Dubai holiday home market. The innovative tool represents a significant technological advancement in how short-term rental properties are managed and optimized in Dubai.

Daily Airbnb Property Performance Tracking

The Property Performance Optimizer Bot continuously monitors every property in Homevy's portfolio, tracking performance in real-time and providing actionable insights to increase revenue. 

Unlike traditional property management companies that rely on monthly reviews, Homevy's system analyzes performance metrics daily, enabling immediate adjustments.

"We spent months developing this tool because we realized that waiting for monthly performance reports means missing countless revenue opportunities," said Kayode Faturoti, co-founder at Homevy. "Our bot doesn't just track performance — it actively suggests specific actions to improve results."

The bot tracks multiple data streams including occupancy rates, local events, pricing, market demand patterns, and seasonal fluctuations specific to Dubai. This enables the bot to give accurate pricing adjustments — daily.

Key features of Homevy’s Property Performance Optimizer Bot include:

  • Real-time Performance Monitoring: Continuous tracking of revenue metrics across all managed properties
  • Predictive Analytics: Forecasting tools that help property owners understand projected earnings
  • Actionable Recommendations: Specific suggestions for rate adjustments, availability changes, and marketing strategies
  • Comparative Analysis: Benchmarking individual property performance against portfolio averages and market standards
  • Automated Alerts: Instant notifications when properties fall below performance thresholds

Proven Market Impact in Dubai

Homevy’s technical effectiveness was demonstrated during Dubai's challenging low season in July and August 2025, with Homevy achieving payouts 8.32% higher than projected for property owners — significantly outperforming the broader Dubai market by 64% during the same period.

This performance validates the company's approach to property management in a market where seasonal fluctuations can result in low revenue. The bot addresses a critical gap in Airbnb management Dubai, where most management companies rely on static pricing models and periodic performance reviews.

"The Dubai short-term rental market is incredibly sophisticated, but the management tools available haven't kept pace with the market's complexity," Homevy CEO Kyle Johnson noted. "Our bot changes that by bringing enterprise-level analytics and optimization to individual property management."

The Property Performance Optimizer Bot operates alongside Homevy's existing technology infrastructure, including their STR vs. LTR analysis tool and Dubai Airbnb Income Calculator.

About Homevy

Founded in Dubai, Homevy specializes in premium short-term rental management, delivering exceptional service to both property owners and guests across the emirate. Known for its attention to detail, the company enhances every stay with custom digital guidebooks, premium guest experiences and a technology-driven approach to revenue optimization. Homevy manages properties throughout Dubai, consistently outperforming market benchmarks while maintaining the lowest property management fees in the city.

Fires of Freedom Publishing Announces 'Fire, Brimstone and Blood' by Local Author Clay Ramsay

Fires of Freedom Publishing proudly announces the release of “Fire, Brimstone and Blood,” a new historical novel by local author Clay Ramsay. The book explores a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter of the American Revolutionary War: the brutal Southern Campaign in South Carolina.

While many of the war’s most famous battles were fought in the North, after four years of conflict the British had failed to subdue the rebellion there. In response, they launched a new strategy — holding their positions in the North while opening a Southern Campaign aimed at dividing and crippling the Patriot cause.

In South Carolina, under General Lord Cornwallis, the British seized major cities and ports and decimated organized Continental Army resistance. But in the state’s backcountry, they faced a different kind of war. Local volunteer militias — farmers and woodsmen, unpaid and untrained but fiercely determined — rose up to fight at a moment’s notice. Their efforts would change the course of the war in just a few months.

“Fire, Brimstone and Blood” tells their story through the voices of private militiamen, their wives and local commanders, bringing to life the courage and resilience of ordinary people whose sacrifices altered the nation’s history.

About Fires of Freedom Publishing

Fires of Freedom Publishing, LLC is the publishing home of author Clay Ramsay. Clay Ramsay graduated with honors and distinction from Washington and Lee University, earning degrees in English and classics. He was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and later earned his MA in English at the University of Virginia.

Now enjoying semi-tranquil retirement on a farm with his wife, Mary, along with their dogs and horses, Ramsay draws inspiration from his lifelong passion for American history and the revolutionary ideals of the Founding Fathers. Encouraged for decades by his mother to write a book, he finally answered the call — crossing one off the bucket list with “Fire, Brimstone and Blood.”

Large and Diverse Group of Organizations Agree: FDA’s Proposed Ban on 7-OH Would Endanger Public Health and Undermine Science

The Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) today released statements from leading organizations, policy experts, and advocates opposing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) proposal to schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). These voices, spanning physicians, veterans, fiscal watchdogs, youth advocates, consumer choice groups, and policy think tanks, warn that prohibition would cause more harm than good, repeating the failures of the War on Drugs while cutting off promising avenues for public health.

“Banning 7-OH is not only unscientific, it’s reckless. Instead of protecting the public, it will push consumers toward dangerous illicit markets, restrict medical research, and betray the veterans and families who have found relief through this compound,” said Jeff Smith, HART’s National Policy Director. “HART is proud to stand alongside diverse organizations to say clearly: prohibition is not the answer. Regulation, safety standards, and transparency are the path forward.”

Statements from Allied Organizations

Doctors for Drug Policy Reform:

“Banning 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) will predictably endanger public health by pushing individuals toward unregulated products of unknown potency and possible contamination. It will also obstruct needed scientific investigation into the potential of 7-OH to provide safer alternatives for pain management and opioid use disorder. A rational public health approach requires regulation that ensures product standards, transparent labeling, and continued research, rather than repeating the failures of punitive drug policies.”

Taxpayers Protection Alliance:

“The federal government is on a costly and reckless mission to eliminate 7-hydroxymitragynine (also known as 7-OH), found in a variety of popular products. Bureaucrats never seem to learn a basic lesson: banning consumer products is a terrible idea. Regulators have emphasized the harms of 7-OH, yet data from the Food and Drug Administration’s Adverse Event Reporting System fails to back up these scary-sounding claims.

As seen repeatedly throughout history, prohibition leads to far more harm and less freedom of choice. Failed policies such as banning alcohol and the ‘War on Drugs’ show that heavy-handed regulations exact a high human toll and cost taxpayers dearly. It's time to end the government's misguided war on 7-OH.”

Grunt Style Foundation:

“Taking 7-OH off the legal market doesn’t make veterans safer. It pushes them toward unregulated street sources where contamination and unpredictable potency are real risks. Talk to veterans who use 7-hydroxymitragynine — 7-OH — and you’ll hear how it helps manage pain, PTSD, and other challenges from service without the fog of opioids. It allows them to stay engaged with family, keep working, and move forward in their lives.

Our service members deserve safe, legal, and transparent access to the alternatives that work for them. Veterans already know what it means to sacrifice and live with the consequences. They’ve earned the right to make informed choices about their own recovery and well-being. Taking away a tool that many use responsibly sends the message that Washington doesn’t trust them to manage their own lives.”

Students for Sensible Drug Policy:

“The FDA’s push to schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) comes without a public health crisis or clear evidence of harm. It will give law enforcement one more reason to go after young people and communities already under the microscope. We’ve seen how that story plays out under the War on Drugs. A straightforward approach is better: keep people informed, keep products safe, and respect the right to make personal choices without provoking fear of unnecessary punishments.”

End It For Good:

“Banning 7-hydroxymitragynine would push people toward the exact dangers we claim we want to stop: fentanyl-laced street drugs, unknown dosages, and sellers who answer to no one. That only leads to funerals and loss of faith in the systems meant to protect communities.”

Consumer Choice Center:

“Scheduling 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) would not only undermine consumer choice by driving millions of Americans toward illicit and potentially more harmful drugs but also restrict vital scientific research and public health innovations. The Consumer Choice Center (CCC) advocates for evidence-based regulation rather than prohibition, urging legal frameworks that ensure product safety, transparency, and access for those managing pain and addiction. Such smart regulation aligns with CCC’s mission to defend consumer rights and promote harm reduction, rather than criminalizing responsible users and stifling medical progress.”

Geoffrey Lawrence, Reason Foundation:

“Scheduling 7-OH is yet another tragic example of reflexive and premature action by the government that may circumvent actual science. 7-OH shows real promise as a safer potential substitute for opioids in the treatment of chronic pain. As a partial opioid agonist, it may also be an inexpensive alternative to help people wean off of existing opioid dependence. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year due to opioids, so as a society we should embrace any potential alternative.

As with cannabis, psychedelics, and other substances, arbitrary actions by government to ban these substances will cut off needed research and cause far more harm than good. Moreover, there’s sparse evidence to consider 7-OH a dangerous drug.

Every time Washington schedules another substance, it does little more than hand power over to unregulated actors and cartels, who will inevitably seek to fulfill consumer demand. Instead of reducing harm, these bans criminalize personal choices and result in worse outcomes as illicit substitutes may be tainted and sellers, who have no recourse to the legal system, use violence to resolve disputes.

The answer isn’t banning 7-OH. It’s making sure people have honest information, clear standards, and the freedom to decide for themselves.”

Dr. Jeffrey Singer, Cato Institute, wrote in USA Today:

“The choice is clear: Either let 7-OH fall into the hands of cartels or regulate it to reduce harm. America doesn’t need another fentanyl crisis, especially one caused by our own actions.”

HART believes that the chorus of warnings from these organizations underscores a single truth:prohibition doesn’t work. Rather than pushing people into the shadows and fueling black markets, federal officials should pursue regulation that prioritizes safety, transparency, and consumer choice.

“The FDA has a chance to learn from history instead of repeating it,” Smith added. “The science, the experts, and the people most affected all agree: banning 7-OH would be a disaster.

About Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART)

Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) is a national nonprofit organization advocating for science-based policy, regulatory transparency, and access to safe, plant-based alternatives to opioids and other pharmaceuticals. 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a metabolite of mitragynine, the most abundant alkaloid found in kratom, is a new tool being used to combat opioid misuse and improve public health. HART strongly supports robust regulation to mandate that all 7-OH products are manufactured safely, are marketed transparently, and are kept out of the hands of children.

This year, as RITFIT celebrates its 10th anniversary, the brand is reaffirming its belief that fitness should be accessible to all. In an industry often dominated by aesthetic goals and performance metrics, RITFIT is reshaping the conversation and challenging how people think about fitness.

Pushing beyond the predictable world of gym culture, RITFIT has launched a standout initiative: its monthly Disability Support Program, which provides people with disabilities access to professional-grade home fitness gear and the motivation they need to achieve their goals.

Inclusive From the Ground Up

Accessibility isn’t an afterthought — it’s a foundation. RITFIT believes fitness should be available to everyone, which is why its full range of home and commercial gym equipment, from resistance bands to power cages, is designed for versatility, durability, and affordability.

Through RITFIT’s Disability Support Program, Kevin received gear that elevated his workouts and training routines. Even more importantly, he found a brand that shares his values. Today, Kevin stands as one of RITFIT’s most visible ambassadors, using his platform to promote accessibility and guide people with disabilities who want to deepen their fitness journey.

They pride themselves on catering to all experience levels and body types by offering equipment designed to fit real homes, real lives, and real goals. Additionally, their equipment is all rigorously  tested and trusted by everyday users, personal trainers, and rehab specialists alike.

With a product line ranging from squat racks and wall-mounted storage to adjustable benches and resistance bands, RITFIT has always prioritized user-first design. That means focusing on comfort, adaptability, and functionality — not just looks.

Building More Than Muscle

What started as a gym equipment company is quickly becoming a community, and every month, RITFIT spotlights new stories of people from across the country who are using fitness to heal, connect, and grow. Their website and social media channels are filled with transformation stories, adaptive workout routines, and reminders that strength comes in many forms.
