The UK’s High Court sided with sports betting and gambling company Flutter Entertainment in a landmark case that concluded on Friday (November 15). The case came about after a man in the UK sued the company’s Betfair brand and its TSE Malta holding company in 2021 for over £1.4 million (roughly $1.7M) in losses. He alleged the brand knew he was a problem gambler and they failed to take appropriate steps to protect him from losing money. It was between 1 November 2009 and 11 April 2019 when the man lost £1,480,728.84 gambling on the outcome of sporting events, he then sought to recover the greater part of those losses from Betfair.

Stalker 2 is a game that has been cooking for the best part of 15 years and now we are finally really to head out into the Ukrainian contaminated zone one more time and face up the realities, some 40 years or so after the Chornobyl nuclear accident. The thing is, it is a scary place out there so will be able to take some buddies along for the ride, or will we have to venture forth alone?

If you are not intending to play Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl as part of a Game Pass subscription you will be looking to purchase the game for yourself. As is normal with big releases these days Stalker 2 comes in a variety of flavors ranging from the reasonably priced, up to spending a crazy amount of money to play the game.

You have to go back into the annals of time to 2012 to find when Stalker 2 was first announced, some five years before Game Pass even arrived fresh into the world. Had things gone to plan the sequel to the classic FPS would have pre-dated Microsoft’s subscription service by a good few years.

Solana’s price has surpassed the bullish $241 target, fueled by a significant uptick in trading volume across decentralized exchanges (DEXs), driven largely by the ongoing meme coin craze.

These advantages continue to strengthen its market position and could spark further growth. If Solana can sustain its momentum above the key $241 threshold, the next major resistance point is $291, positioning SOL in uncharted price discovery territory.
