BETR HEDGES 10 MILLION FREE SPINS AND $1.776M WORLD CUP PAYOUT PROMOTION WITH POLYMARKET POSITION ON TEAM USA

Published

on

MIAMI, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Betr, the company behind the world’s first real money gaming super app, today announced it has hedged a 10,000,000 free spins promotion, worth approximately $1.776M, on the United States to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Polymarket. The position, the largest single trade on Team USA to win the World Cup on Polymarket, returns approximately $1.776 million if the U.S. wins, which offsets Betr’s exposure to the promotion.

The move marks one of the first public examples of a consumer gaming company using prediction markets to hedge a live promotional liability, turning a promotional giveaway into a real-money position on American sports history.

“I am placing the largest position of my life on the United States to win the World Cup,” said Jake Paul, co-founder of Betr. “Why? Because I love this country. And also because Betr is giving away 10 million free spins valued at $1.776 million on Betr Social Casino if the United States wins it all. I need to hedge and celebrate. I’m setting off the biggest fireworks of my life. God Bless America!”

The 10 million free spins promotion, valued at approximately $1.776 million, a nod to the year America declared its independence, is available to Betr Social Casino users nationwide. Should the United States win the World Cup, Betr’s Polymarket position would return the funds necessary to cover the full promotional payout, creating a closed-loop hedge that ties the company’s financial exposure directly to the outcome.

“We are putting real money behind our belief in Team USA, leveraging the world’s largest prediction markets platform to do it,” said Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr. “Sports, gaming, and prediction markets are converging, and Betr is at the center of that.”

The announcement comes on the heels of Betr’s recent acquisition of Ascent Capital Management Inc., which secured the company’s NFA and CFTC registration as an introducing broker and positioned Betr to launch prediction markets powered by Polymarket directly within its super app later this year. Betr’s prediction markets offering will sit alongside Picks, Sportsbook, Casino, and Arcade, all within one integrated wallet and app experience.

Purchasers of Standalone Storage Device or Computer for resale in the United States from January 2003, through May 2016, may be affected by a class action lawsuit

Published

on

By

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A class action antitrust lawsuit was filed on behalf of Reseller Plaintiffs and End-User Plaintiffs against Defendants TDK Corporation, Hutchinson Technology Inc., Magnecomp Precision Technology Public Co., Ltd., Magnecomp Corporation, and SAE Magnetics (H.K.) Ltd. (together, “TDK Defendants”), and NHK Spring Co., Ltd., NHK International, NAT Peripheral (Dong Guan) Co., Ltd., NAT Peripheral (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., and NHK Spring (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (together, “NHK Defendants”). This Notice only applies to Reseller Plaintiffs. The Reseller Plaintiffs are Now Micro, Inc., Integrated Technical Systems, Inc. d/b/a Network One, It Worx, Inc., Stephen Arvay, and Michael Medeiros, (together, the “Reseller Plaintiffs”). The lawsuit alleges Defendants conspired to fix prices of suspension assemblies (“SAs”), a component contained in hard disk drives (“HDD”). SAs are a necessary component of HDDs and are found in products such as laptop and desktop computers, and computer servers. The Reseller Plaintiffs bought and resold HDDs that included SAs. Reseller Plaintiffs assert prices were higher as a result of the supracompetitive prices initially charged by Defendants to HDD manufacturers, who “passed on” those price increases to the Reseller Plaintiffs.

The Court “certified” a Reseller Class defined as: all persons or entities in the Indirect Purchaser States, except original equipment manufacturers, who, during the period from January 2003 through May 2016, purchased a Standalone Storage Device or Computer for resale, which included as a component part one or more SAs that were manufactured or sold by Defendants, any current or former subsidiary of Defendants, or any co-conspirator of Defendants, or who indirectly purchased a SA, for resale, that was manufactured or sold by Defendants, any current or former subsidiary of Defendants, or any co-conspirator of Defendants.

The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. There is no money available now, and no guarantee there will be. However, if you are a member of the Reseller Class described above, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now.

Class Members who want to keep the possibility of getting money or benefits from this lawsuit in the future do not need to do anything now. By doing nothing, they are staying in the Reseller Class and if the Reseller Plaintiffs obtain money or benefits in the future, they will be notified about how to get their share. Class Members who do nothing now will not be able to sue or continue to sue Defendants—as part of any other lawsuit—about the same legal claims in this lawsuit. Class Members will also be legally bound by the orders and judgments. If they do nothing now and there is a settlement or judgment in the future, they may not be allowed to exclude themselves from the lawsuit.

Class Members who want to sue Defendants on their own regarding the same legal claims in this lawsuit or already have their own lawsuit against Defendants regarding the same legal claims in this lawsuit and want to continue with it, need to ask to be excluded from the Reseller Class. Class Members who exclude or remove themselves from the Reseller Class— sometimes called “opting-out” of the class— they will not get any money or benefits from this lawsuit even if Reseller Plaintiffs win at trial or there is a settlement. However, those who opt-out may be able to sue or continue to sue Defendants on their own. Class Members who exclude themselves will not be legally bound by the Court’s judgments in this class action lawsuit. The deadline to opt-out is September 2, 2026.

Class Counsel will have to prove Reseller Plaintiffs’ legal claims at a trial. The trial has not been scheduled. During the trial, a Jury and the Judge will hear all of the evidence to help them reach a decision about whether Reseller Plaintiffs or Defendants are right about the legal claims in the lawsuit. There is no guarantee that Reseller Plaintiffs will win, or that they will get any money for the Reseller Class.

This Notice summarizes the lawsuit and the proceedings. To get additional information visit www.HDDSuspensionReseller.com or call 1-877-307-1874.

Rockford Fosgate Introduces New PUNCH® PRO Speakers

Published

By

Aggressive Output. Rugged Reliability. The new series is purpose-built for SPL competition vehicles and performance-focused builds where maximum output matters most.

TEMPE, Ariz., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rockford Fosgate, the leader in high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce the new PUNCH PRO Speaker Series, engineered to be the loudest speakers in the PUNCH lineup. Purpose-built for SPL competition vehicles, high-volume street performance, and performance-focused builds, the new PUNCH PRO Series delivers aggressive output, rugged reliability, and the unmistakable PUNCH sound.

Designed for listeners who demand extreme output without sacrificing durability or clarity, PUNCH PRO speakers combine high-efficiency components, oversized motor structures, and ultra-durable materials to deliver relentless volume under demanding conditions. With midrange drivers and tweeters engineered specifically for high-output environments, the series gives installers and enthusiasts the power, output, and dependability needed to take serious builds to the next level.

“Punch Pro brings pro audio efficiency and SPL capability into a dedicated automotive architecture. By utilizing Punch-platform frames, we achieved a true ‘Engineered Fit’ for direct integration without modification. And with a new compact bullet tweeter option, we’ve made it easier than ever to deliver pro-level output into tighter vehicle spaces” said Wayne Connolly, Vice President of Product Development.

Performance-driven from the inside out, PUNCH PRO speakers feature precision-engineered phase plugs that help project high-frequency detail with accuracy, allowing music to stay clear and focused even at elevated volume. Oversized motor structures improve efficiency and support extended playtime, while a 75-watt RMS and 150-watt peak power rating gives the series the strength to keep up when the system is pushed hard.

Built to perform like a true workhorse, every component and material in the PUNCH PRO Series was selected for strength and long-term reliability. Reinforced polymer baskets, high-density cones, and reinforced tweeter diaphragms help deliver class-leading construction designed to withstand the demands of competition-level output and aggressive everyday performance.

The series is also engineered for demanding environments. UV-resistant materials in the cone, surround, and frame help protect against prolonged sun exposure, while treated paper cones, durable surrounds, and fatigue-resistant spiders are designed to maintain performance over time. For enhanced control and system tuning, the PUNCH PRO platform also includes an external crossover engineered for high-output applications. The precision external low-pass crossover provides accurate signal control for seamless integration of dual midrange drivers and a tweeter while preserving sonic integrity under high-power conditions. Selectable tweeter attenuation at 0 dB, –3 dB, and –6 dB allows installers to fine-tune high-frequency output for optimal tonal balance across a wide range of system configurations.

Inside the crossover, optimized midrange filtering uses laminated steel-core inductors for low-loss, high-current handling and smooth, controlled midrange response. Ceramic resistors, aluminum heatsinks, and a vented chassis work together to efficiently dissipate heat, helping maintain consistent performance during extended, high-output listening sessions.

The PUNCH PRO Speaker Series is designed for competition-level output, aggressive everyday performance, and systems that need to play loud and hold up under pressure. Available in multiple sizes and configurations, PUNCH PRO brings aggressive output, rugged durability, and the unmistakable PUNCH sound to performance-focused builds.
