The Adams administration now has to deal with the matter as well as a class-size reduction mandate that state lawmakers recently passed. The former mayor told POLITICO he felt that the city’s economic rebound would help cover the cost. But that money will run out in 2026, POLITICO’s Madina Touré reports.

We deeply regret this incorrect communication.Welcome to the weekly edition of the New York Education newsletter. “The Gaming Authority is not involved in this and is not responsible for this. “We would like to rectify that all technical issues on the Unibet platform are the responsibility of Unibet and are also caused by Unibet’s systems.

“Unfortunately, we have found that our customer service representatives have made incorrect statements,” reads an FAQ on the website. Kindred’s case could be made worse by the fact a live chat operator initially blamed the technical issue on the KSA itself. The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has been made aware of the issue and has been in contact with Unibet over the reports. Meanwhile, Kindred’s tech staff are working behind the scenes to adjust the bonus trigger sensitivity. “We are working hard to resolve this issue as soon as possible,” says a notice on the site. The operator’s live chat function has since been inundated with requests. “In particular, we found that the system detected players who regularly visited our bonus page and picked it up as an indicator of irresponsible gambling behaviour.” As a result, normal gambling behaviour was regarded as potentially irresponsible gambling behaviour. The operator told iGaming NEXT: “Unfortunately, we had to conclude that the system was set too sensitively. Kindred Group said the trigger was inadvertently set too high on the site, which was the root cause of the issue. It can detect player behaviour such as chasing losses, but another trigger is repeated visits to promotional pages. Unibet monitors gaming behaviour via its Player Safety – Early Detection System (PS-EDS) which scans for potentially irresponsible gambling patterns. Once an intervention measure has been triggered, all bonuses are blocked or frozen for a certain time period. Its in-house detection system places automatic interventions on customer accounts when certain safer gambling signals are triggered. However, a technical issue with the operator’s automated responsible gambling platform has prevented hundreds of customers from being able to claim their welcome bonuses. The operator’s Unibet brand returned to the Dutch market last week after a nine-month absence and had planned to win back consumers with a slew of generous special offers. Kindred Group’s regulated return to the Netherlands is not off to the best of starts after the operator was unable to grant welcome bonuses to new customers.
