Landmark Federal Antitrust Case Seeks Significant Damages

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) ("Newsmax" or the "Company") announced today that the Company’s subsidiary, Newsmax Broadcasting, LLC, has filed a major federal antitrust lawsuit against Fox Corporation and Fox News Network, LLC (collectively, "Fox") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The suit, led by prominent antitrust litigators at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., accuses Fox of engaging in an extensive and unlawful campaign to block competition in the market for right-leaning pay television news, including Newsmax.

Newsmax’s action seeks damages under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, the Florida Antitrust Act, and the Florida Deceptive & Unfair Trade Practices Act. Under federal law, any damages awarded in this case will be trebled – meaning Fox faces significant financial liability if Newsmax prevails.

The complaint alleges that Fox has abused its dominance in the right-leaning pay TV news market for years by coercing distributors into unfair carriage agreements designed to exclude or marginalize competitors like Newsmax.

Fox News, described in the complaint as a "must-have" channel for distributors, leverages its market power to impose restrictions that harm consumers, stifle competition, and drive up costs across the pay TV ecosystem.

Among the exclusionary tactics detailed in the complaint:

• No-Carry Provisions: Fox conditions access to Fox News on agreements by distributors not to carry or to restrict competing right-leaning news channels.

• Financial Penalties: If distributors carry Newsmax, Fox forces them to also carry low-demand channels like Fox Business or Fox Sports 2 in their most widely viewed tiers – triggering potentially tens of millions in extra fees.

• Confidential Drag-Down Provisions: These clauses penalize distributors for placing Newsmax in basic packages by requiring simultaneous promotion of Fox’s less popular channels.

• Intimidation Campaigns: Fox has allegedly pressured its guests to not appear on Newsmax, as well as has run online smear campaigns and hired private investigators targeting Newsmax executives to damage the Company’s credibility.

The result, the complaint asserts, is that Fox has deliberately blocked Newsmax’s growth in critical distribution platforms such as Hulu, Sling, Fubo, and other major platforms.

Internal Fox communications cited in the complaint reveal that senior executives and talent saw Newsmax as a competitive threat following the 2020 election. Texts, emails, and memoranda show Fox leaders acknowledging that Newsmax’s growing audience could "drastically change the landscape" of cable news, including:

• Then-Fox host Tucker Carlson warned that "an alternative like Newsmax could be devastating to us."

• Fox News President Jay Wallace told CEO Suzanne Scott that Fox was on "war footing" over Newsmax’s rise.

• Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch instructed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott that Newsmax "should be watched" as a result of press stories about the network.

• Other executives tracked Newsmax’s bookings and content, openly strategizing about ways to contain the new competitor.

Harm to Competition and Consumers

The lawsuit alleges that Fox’s exclusionary conduct has had far-reaching consequences:

• Higher Prices: By blocking competition, Fox has extracted supracompetitive carriage fees – charging distributors nearly $2.20 per subscriber per month, double CNN’s fees and six times MSNBC’s. These inflated costs have been or likely will be passed on to consumers.

• Reduced Consumer Choice: Millions of right-leaning viewers who want an alternative have been denied access to Newsmax on affordable basic packages, leaving Fox as the only viable option.

• Delayed Growth of Newsmax: Fox’s practices have prevented Newsmax from reaching critical mass with distributors, advertisers, and audiences, costing the Company hundreds of millions in lost carriage fees and advertising revenue.

"Fox has sought to protect and expand its monopoly power in the right-leaning pay TV news market by engaging in a suite of anticompetitive behaviors," the complaint states. Fox’s unlawful and exclusionary conduct "has harmed not just Newsmax and other competitors," but also "consumers and competition itself."

Newsmax is represented by Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., and Sperling Kenny Nachwalter, LLC, two of the nation’s premier antitrust litigation firms.

Both firms have extensive experience taking on monopolistic conduct and have successfully litigated complex cases involving dominant players in telecommunications, media, pharmaceuticals, and technology.

"Fox’s behavior represents a textbook abuse of monopoly power," said Michael J. Guzman, lead counsel for Newsmax at Kellogg Hansen. "The law is clear: competition, not coercion, should decide what news channels Americans can watch. By leveraging its must-have status, Fox has blocked new voices, suppressed consumer choice, and extracted excess profits."

"Fox may have profited from exclusionary contracts and intimidation tactics for years, but those days are over," said Christopher Ruddy, Newsmax CEO. "This lawsuit is about restoring fairness to the market and ensuring that Americans have real choice in the news they watch. If we prevail, Fox’s damages could be tripled under federal law – an outcome that would send a powerful message to any company that thinks it can monopolize public discourse."

The complaint underscores that Fox’s conduct harms not just Newsmax, but the competitive process itself. By keeping rivals off affordable distribution packages, Fox has denied millions of Americans the diversity of viewpoints that a healthy marketplace of ideas requires.

"American democracy depends on a vibrant and competitive media landscape," Ruddy added. "Fox has acted as a gatekeeper, silencing emerging voices and overcharging consumers. Our lawsuit seeks not only justice for Newsmax, but also to protect the rights of viewers who deserve choice and fair pricing."

Newsmax is asking the federal court to:

• Declare Fox’s conduct unlawful under federal and state antitrust laws.

• Award monetary damages as permitted by law.

• Enjoin Fox from continuing exclusionary contracts and monopolistic practices.

• Order equitable relief to restore competition in right-leaning pay TV news.

NEWARK, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Evaluation Process

We’ve examined and tested over 100 different crypto gambling websites to identify the top performers for 2025.

Each platform was assessed for its game offerings, licensing details, transaction systems, available bonuses, and other critical features.

Using our industry knowledge and gambling expertise, we carried out impartial evaluations of every site we explored.

We focused on delivering trustworthy and practical insights for players.

What to Expect

Based on our findings, we compiled a useful resource that highlights which crypto gambling sites stood out and why. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these platforms worth your attention.

Top Bitcoin Casino Sites: Expert Reviews

Below, you’ll find detailed breakdowns of each Bitcoin casino, covering essential aspects such as game variety, withdrawal speeds, supported cryptocurrencies, and unique features.

Each platform listed here has earned a place among the best Bitcoin casinos of 2025, recognized for transparency through provably fair games and consistent performance.

Explore the strengths of these leading brands to find a site that matches your preferences.

FortuneJack

FortuneJack is one of the longest-standing crypto casinos, operating since 2014. The site features a modern interface and an expansive games library, including thousands of slot titles, traditional table games, live dealers, and provably fair games designed for crypto players. A full sportsbook is also available, enabling wagers on global sports and eSports events.

FortuneJack supports a wide range of currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. Deposits are credited instantly, and withdrawals are processed just as quickly. The casino adopts a player-friendly KYC policy, typically requesting verification only for larger cashouts, thereby preserving player privacy where possible.

Visit FortuneJack

Instant Casino is a fast-growing crypto-friendly platform that combines thousands of casino games with a full sportsbook, offering a streamlined experience for both slot lovers and sports bettors.

Launched in 2023, it supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies-including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana-as well as traditional fiat methods like Visa and Interac. Withdrawals are typically instant with crypto, and registration is KYC-light, requiring just an email in most cases.

With over 4,000 games from leading providers like Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Hacksaw Gaming, Instant Casino delivers a rich gaming library alongside regular promotions like weekly cashback and boosted sports bets. Its clean user interface, rapid payouts, and crypto-first approach have made it increasingly popular with U.S. players looking for speed, flexibility, and privacy.

How Bitcoin Gambling Works

Bitcoin gambling involves placing wagers on online casino platforms using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin instead of fiat money such as US dollars or Euros. Many crypto casinos do not require traditional identity verification, allowing you to create an account without completing Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.

To interact with the platform, you’ll need a digital crypto wallet that stores your funds. This wallet connects externally to the gambling site and enables you to deposit and withdraw crypto as needed. Access credentials for your wallet are separate and managed independently from your casino account.

These crypto-based platforms offer a wide variety of games. You can play classic slots, table games, or even bet on eSports, while also discovering blockchain-native games. Transactions are encrypted, giving you stronger control and security over your money. Crypto payments are usually much faster than bank transfers, minimizing wait times for both deposits and withdrawals.

Functionally, Bitcoin casino sites operate similarly to regular online gambling sites. After registering, you deposit funds, place bets, and withdraw winnings. Game options typically include everything from digital slots and video poker to live dealer rooms and more.

Using Smart Contracts for Transparent Payouts

Smart contracts are automated programs on the blockchain that handle actions like disbursing payments when preset conditions are met. During Bitcoin gambling, once your winnings hit a defined amount, a smart contract can automatically execute a crypto payout, eliminating manual steps.

This level of automation reduces human involvement, limits errors, and improves processing times during withdrawals.

How Random Number Generators Work

Random number generators (RNGs) are software tools used to produce unpredictable outcomes in virtual games. These systems ensure results are not pre-determined, maintaining fairness across games.

Bitcoin gambling sites commonly feature three types of games:

• RNG games – rely on traditional randomization algorithms;

• Provably fair games – use blockchain-based mechanisms to offer verifiable randomness;

• Live games – involve human dealers and real-time video streams.

While RNG-based games offer fairness through hidden algorithms, provably fair titles provide more transparency by allowing public verification of game results.

Understanding Provably Fair Gaming

Provably fair gaming utilizes blockchain technology to produce outcomes that players can independently verify. Leading Bitcoin casinos provide tools to inspect the cryptographic functions underlying each bet, allowing users to validate the fairness of any game round.

This approach creates a higher level of openness compared to traditional online casinos, where outcomes depend solely on internal RNG systems. By letting players check algorithms used in every game, provably fair systems foster trust and assure fair betting practices in the crypto gaming space.

Is Crypto Gambling Safe?

Crypto gambling can be safe when done through legitimate and secure websites. Platforms that rely on blockchain technology benefit from increased transaction security and transparency. Blockchain records every transaction, making it extremely difficult for anyone to tamper with the funds.

Still, choosing the right site is vital. Not every crypto casino operates with a license, so it’s important to verify a site’s credibility before depositing. Look for established licensing, positive user feedback, and platforms that implement security features like data encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA).

The safety of your cryptocurrency wallet is another key factor. Failing to protect your private keys or using an unreliable wallet could lead to permanent loss of assets. Use trusted wallets and always keep your keys secure and confidential.

How to Spot a Scam Crypto Gambling Site

Identifying potential scam sites requires looking at several important factors. Paying attention to details like licensing, customer feedback, and promotional tactics can help you avoid fraud.

No Verified License

If a site doesn’t list an active license, or displays one from an untrustworthy jurisdiction, that’s a warning sign. Reputable licenses often come from authorities based in countries such as Malta, Curacao, or Costa Rica. Lack of proper licensing means the site hasn’t been reviewed for fairness or legitimacy.

Unbelievable Offers

Sites advertising overly generous bonuses with no catch usually deserve skepticism. Legitimate promotions from trustworthy crypto casinos always come with clear, published terms and obligations. Scammers may use unrealistic rewards to lure new users.

Bad Reputation

Search for the casino name along with terms like "scam" or "review." User complaints and negative stories can be found easily if a site has a bad track record. This step alone can help you avoid most scam platforms.

Summary Red Flags to Watch For:

• Missing or suspicious license information

• Promotions that sound too good to be real

• No or vague terms and conditions

• Numerous negative reviews or scam alerts

• No transparency on how fairness is verified

• No public company or team details

All casinos listed on our site are properly licensed and have been fully tested by our editorial team, who play on each platform to verify safety and performance firsthand.

How to Select the Right Bitcoin Gambling Platform

To find a reliable and rewarding Bitcoin gambling site, it’s essential to evaluate key elements and compare what each platform offers. Making informed decisions ensures a smoother experience and improved satisfaction. Below are the most important aspects to keep in mind when selecting a comprehensive sports betting and gaming platform.

Supported Cryptocurrency Options

The variety of accepted digital currencies differs from one platform to another. Relying solely on Bitcoin and Ethereum may limit your flexibility. Look for platforms that also accept altcoins such as Monero for privacy, Tether for stability, and any coins you personally hold. A wider range of supported tokens helps simplify deposits and withdrawals.

Game Variety and Betting Options

Look into the types of games available, the software providers behind them, and the presence of additional options like sports betting and live games. Ideally, a well-rounded casino now combines traditional table games with sports betting features. Extra entertainment such as keno, lottery-style games, and instant-win titles can add more depth.

Promotions and Loyalty Rewards

Bonuses can significantly increase your playing budget. Keep an eye out for platforms that offer deposit bonuses, free spins, or matched funding. Also important is a strong VIP or loyalty program for regular users. These typically give you ongoing perks, personalized rewards, and better cashback or wagering terms as you level up.

Transactions: Speed and Simplicity

Efficient payment processing improves your overall experience. Choose sites offering near-instant deposits and fast withdrawals. Crypto casinos that automate these functions reduce wait times and allow quicker access to your funds.

Platform Security and Licensing

Stick with platforms that are fully licensed by trusted regulatory bodies like Curacao. Proper licensing supports fairness and accountability. Also, make sure the site uses encryption (such as SSL) and two-factor authentication to keep your data safe and shield your account from unauthorized access.

Privacy and Anonymity

Some crypto casinos allow players to sign up without requiring identity checks. These no-KYC sites cater to those who value online privacy. While not all platforms offer this option, it can be a strong consideration for users wanting to stay anonymous.

Customer Service Availability

Reliable support matters. Many quality platforms provide 24/7 help through live chat or email. Before depositing, test the responsiveness of the support team. This simple step can reveal how user-focused a site truly is.

Interface Usability and Mobile Compatibility

A clean, intuitive design makes the site easier to use. Whether you’re on a desktop or mobile device, pages should load quickly and games should function smoothly. Many sites also let you explore their games in demo mode, so give that a try before creating an account to test layout and performance.

Geographic Restrictions

Some gambling platforms block users from specific countries. Although many crypto casinos operate globally, you should confirm their availability in your region. US players often use VPNs to bypass restrictions, but this may violate terms of service and can limit payouts or access in some cases.

Community Trust and Player Feedback

Lastly, check what others have said about the platform. Consistent complaints about unfair treatment, delayed payouts, or security breaches are major red flags. Choose a site with a positive reputation and a track record of honoring player rights and funds.

Comparison Between Bitcoin Gambling Sites and Traditional Online Casinos

Transaction Methods & Processing Time

Bitcoin casinos use cryptocurrencies, allowing for quick deposits and withdrawals-typically processed within minutes-and minimal transaction fees. Traditional platforms handle payments through credit cards, bank accounts, or e-wallets, which take longer to process and usually include higher fees.

User Privacy & Regulatory Compliance

Crypto gambling sites commonly avoid extensive identity verification requirements and often operate under offshore jurisdictions. This enables wider accessibility but can raise questions about legal oversight. In contrast, traditional online casinos require ID checks and comply with regional licensing rules, ensuring tighter regulation but also imposing access restrictions.

Game Selection & Fairness

Both types offer a wide selection of games, including slots, table games, and live dealers. However, Bitcoin platforms frequently feature provably fair titles that use blockchain verification for transparency. Conventional casinos rely on established software providers and random number generators (RNGs), which are tested by external bodies but lack user-verifiable mechanisms.

Bonuses & User Experience

Crypto platforms often extend generous promotions, although their websites may seem less intuitive to those unfamiliar with digital currency interfaces. By contrast, traditional casinos typically offer smaller bonus packages but deliver highly refined, user-friendly navigation and design.

Customer Support & Reputation

Support on Bitcoin sites is usually limited to email or live chat, and the providers range from new ventures to moderately established names. Traditional operators usually have phone support in addition to chat and email, backed by years of operation and a more defined reputation within the industry.

The Importance of Responsible Gambling

Participating in online Bitcoin gambling should be done with the same caution applied to traditional gambling. While the use of cryptocurrency offers its own features, the core need for responsible play remains unchanged.

Identifying Risky Gambling Behavior

Recognizing potential warning signs can help you maintain control and avoid harm. Below are some behaviors that may signal a developing issue:

• Excessive Spending: Frequently depositing or wagering more than you can afford may suggest you’re trying to recover past losses. This kind of behavior can quickly lead to financial problems if you don’t set limits on your budget.

• Neglecting Duties: When gambling starts to interfere with daily obligations, such as family or work, it could indicate a shift toward compulsive behavior. Your priorities should remain focused on essential responsibilities, not gaming activity.

• Money Troubles: Feeling financial strain after playing is a sign that your bankroll management may be lacking. You should only gamble with funds you can reasonably set aside, regardless of the outcome.

• Secrecy About Gambling: Keeping your activity hidden from others can be a red flag. Hiding your behavior often ties back to guilt or concern over how it affects personal finances or relationships.

• Difficulty Quitting: Struggling to stop despite wanting to is a serious concern. This points to reliance on gambling that may require professional support to overcome.

Seeking Help and Support

If you recognize any of these signs in your behavior, it’s important to act quickly. Resources like Gamblers Anonymous offer support for those looking to regain control and address unhealthy patterns. Many people benefit from support groups, counseling, and self-exclusion tools to manage their gambling habits effectively.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2025 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) and Kepler Communications US, Inc. announce the successful demonstration of bi-directional air-to-space optical communications between the GA-EMS Optical Communication Terminal (OCT) mounted on an aircraft and a Space Development Agency (SDA) Tranche 0-compatible Kepler satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO). The demonstration marks a milestone in advancing SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, proving the ability to establish secure, high-data-rate connectivity between airborne and space-based assets in challenging operational environments.

"This successful space-airborne communication demonstration represents a breakthrough improvement in building a resilient space architecture. Achieving multi-vendor interoperability validates SDA’s leadership in the optical communication arena," said Gurpartap "GP" Sandhoo, SDA deputy director. "We are grateful for industry’s rapid acceptance of the SDA OCT Standard and their drive to innovate – pushing the boundaries of what is possible for the warfighter today and into the future."

"Our team achieved a proof-of-concept milestone," said Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS. "The airborne OCT completed pointing, acquisition, tracking, and lock with the Tranche 0-compatible satellite, then transferred data packets to validate uplink and downlink capability. Our OCT is designed to close a communications gap, enabling secure, robust data transfers to support tactical and operational missions."

GA-EMS designed its OCTs to scale and adapt for multi-domain communications across space, air, land, and sea platforms, as well as across various orbital regimes. GA-EMS mounted its OCT on a 12-inch Laser Airborne Communication turret (LAC-12) developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) Precision Pointing Group for the test.

"This demonstration not just achieved the milestone for SDA-compatible communications across the air and space domains, but very importantly proved the robustness of the SDA standard for communications between OCT’s built by two different companies," said Gregg Burgess, vice president of GA-EMS’ Space Systems division. "Under a separate SDA contract, GA-EMS designed and built two OCT systems that will fly on two GA-75 spacecraft to support future LEO airborne-to-space demonstrations for Tranche 1.
