Press Release
The master of Fintech, Marcus Lim has been appointed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Getty Group.
Recently, Marcus who is well-known in the financial industry has officially joined Getty Group as the Chief Marketing Director.

Getty Group was established in 2014 at the island country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has then embarked a subversive reformation in the financial industry. Since its establishment, Getty has integrated technology into the financial industry and successfully developed the oil price monitoring system ExypnOS 1.0 in 2015. The group also won the Excellent Brand of Worldwide Excellence Award 2018/19 for successfully developing the system. They have attributed their achievement to the excellent talents and teamwork.
Recruiting talents to build a high-quality financial technology platform
Getty Group, which focuses on talents, is committed to creating an excellent mechanism and a high-standard platform to attract outstanding talents. After deciding to enter the Asian market, Getty has been searching extensively but has not been able to find a talent who can take on the important role of the Asian regional director. It was not until the appearance of Marcus.
Marcus’s portfolio is very interesting. He was graduated from the Department of Marketing and Finance at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has unique insights over the global markets and finance. In addition to the financial market, Marcus also has a strong interest in marketing, hence after graduation, he joined the insurance and real estate agency industries with organizational marketing as the development direction.

Although Marcus has a lot of experiences in leading the team and operations, as the era is evolving rapidly, the 90s and 00s have entered the trail. Marcus has gradually realized that the market has changed, the method that he has been using will soon reach the bottleneck. He then decided to go overseas to explore and get more inspiration from different field and industry. Coincidentally, Marcus was hired as a senior financial consultant for an international financial technology company, specifically responsible for business in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese market.
During the years in the Chinese market, Marcus broadened his horizons and witnessed the progress and popularization of China’s financial technology, as well as the bottlenecks and difficulties in the development of traditional finance. The experience of the past few years has made him more certain that the future will be an era dominated by financial technology, and the sharing model will be able to drive the development of financial technology towards globalization. Therefore, he resolutely set off the traditional financial technology company with high pays and turned to the digital finance industry, financial technology and blockchain fields, and participated in marketing efforts to drive the transformation of traditional finance into digital finance.

Artificial intelligence and data analysis create precise investment strategies
In terms of investment philosophy, Marcus is a value investor. “I hope to practice the long-term investment philosophy, based on in-depth fundamental research, and strive to select high-quality investment projects that can create long-term value through the comparison of the industrial characteristics of various economies. I believe that through the assistance of data analysis and artificial intelligence, the investment can become easier and able to earn a return on investment on a regular basis.”
“I mainly resist potential market risks by adjusting the combination of industries and style structures; of course, with the support of our company’s artificial intelligence system, our investment judgments will become more precise and accurate, and this is why I joined Getty Group because I believe in the future of financial technology and the bottomless development possibilities in it,” Marcus said.

Tearline Rebrands to Dataline, the Data Lifeline for Autonomous AI Agents
British Virgin Islands, 13th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — What separates an experimental AI agent from a truly capable one is its intelligence or the strength of its underlying model. Rather, it’s the strength of the underlying data. Clean, reliable, and comprehensive data is the foundational layer that makes autonomous action possible.

Data is the lifeblood of agents.
Today’s agents are quite capable. They are beginning to trade, interpret probabilistic markets, and interact directly with on-chain systems. However, agents can only act upon the data they receive, meaning the better the data, the better the decision-making.
That’s where Dataline comes in. Tearline is rebranding to Dataline, repositioning itself not only the most comprehensive data provider for agents but also as the most trustworthy, execution-grade data infrastructure for agents to act autonomously.
Unifying, not fragmenting
Crypto is a series of islands, each built using their own tech stack and communities. This poses additional integration complexity when trying to build capable AI agents in crypto. And as any crypto builder knows, the more complex the code, the more room for devastating errors.
Most systems today rely on fragmented data stacks. Hyperliquid SDK for perpetuals, Polymarket for probability signals, Coingecko for token metadata, and more….
Before an agent executes a single trade or reasoning step, it is already operating on top of a heavily engineered coordination system.
Dataline is designed to remove this layer of fragmentation by replacing it with a single structured execution interface for data-intensive agents.
Every single request returns:
-
Natural language intent
-
Structured cross-market output
-
Source attribution
-
Confidence scoring for execution risk
Better data, better decisions
AI agents need to consume data in a language they understand, not one built for humans.
At the core of Dataline is a deterministic pipeline that replaces ad hoc data orchestration:
Intent parsing → Route selection → Schema normalization → Multi-source aggregation → Structured output generation
This architecture converts natural language queries into consistent, cross-market financial outputs, designed specifically for agent-native environments.
Agents are quickly becoming real market participants, executing trades, transfers, and prediction markets. As a result, it is even more important that these agents have access to the best, most comprehensive data to power their decisions.
19.4M transactions as production validation
Dataline is already operating at a meaningful scale:
-
19.4M+ on-chain transactions processed
-
96.4% execution success rate
-
Coverage across BNB Chain, Sui, and TON
-
2.5M+ AI agent interactions via ChatPilot
Dataline is not a prototype; it’s the data lifeline already supporting production-level agent activity.
Confidence as a first-class primitive in crypto data systems
In crypto markets, a raw number is structurally incomplete.
BTC = 67,123 may appear identical across contexts, but the underlying reliability can vary dramatically depending on source quality, freshness, and market dispersion.
Without visibility into these factors, agents operate with false certainty.
Dataline addresses this through a confidence model defined as
Data agreement × source reliability × freshness
Each response is paired with a confidence score between 0 and 1, enabling agents to evaluate for themselves whether data is suitable for execution before acting on it—not after failure occurs.
Confidence is not a feature—it is a contract between data and execution logic.
All-in-one
Dataline consolidates previously siloed data domains into a single structured schema:
-
Crypto markets (spot, derivatives, funding rates)
-
On-chain state (balances, transactions, positions)
-
Prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi)
-
News and social signals (X, Farcaster)
-
Web2 APIs and long-tail data sources
Rather than increasing data volume, the focus is on ensuring coherence across execution environments, allowing agents to reason across price, position, sentiment, and narrative in a single request cycle.
Monetization scales with usage
Dataline is now live under its new branding, with developer access available for direct integration and testing. Its commercial model reflects the same shift toward autonomous systems:
-
Subscription tiers for predictable workloads
-
Pay-per-call crypto rails
-
Machine-to-machine micropayment infrastructure
The Dataline model is explicitly designed for machine-scale, high-frequency, usage-driven environments.
Data is no longer just information. Data is the lifeblood of AI agents, and Dataline is building the infrastructure to help agents prosper.
About Dataline
Dataline is building the Full-Chain AI Stack for Web3—composable, secure, and modular AI agents that perceive, reason, and execute across smart contracts, dApps, and traditional websites. Our three flagship products ChatPilot, GhostDriver, and FlowAgent are redefining how people interact with DeFi.

Press Release
The Future of Online Betting in SA: Less Generous, More Competitive
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — South Africa’s online sports betting industry is entering a pivotal new phase. After years of rapid, mobile-driven growth, the sector is now facing increased regulatory scrutiny—most notably through the National Treasury’s proposed 20% national tax on gross gambling revenue (GGR).
The proposal, which closed for public comment in February 2026, is designed to both raise state revenue and address concerns around problem gambling. But its implications run far deeper. For operators, it introduces meaningful cost pressure. For punters, it could reshape the value of every bet placed online.
At its core, this is no longer just a tax debate—it’s about what the South African betting market will look like over the next decade.
A R75 Billion Industry at a Turning Point
South Africa’s gambling sector has expanded rapidly, with gross gambling revenue increasing from approximately R32 billion in 2019/20 to around R75 billion in 2024/25. Sports betting has been the primary driver of that growth, fuelled by:
- Widespread smartphone adoption
- Live and in-play betting markets
- Strong engagement with football, rugby, and cricket
- Aggressive acquisition strategies from bookmakers
The growth story extends beyond sports betting. Online casinos have emerged as a significant contributor to overall GGR, with players gravitating toward slots, live dealer tables, and instant-win games through the same mobile-first platforms that drove betting adoption. Operators like 10bet, ZarBet, Lucky Fish, PantherBet, and YesPlay have built out both verticals—offering sports betting and casino products under one roof—meaning the proposed tax, if enacted, would squeeze margins across the full spectrum of online gambling, not just the sportsbook.
Why the 20% GGR Tax Matters
The structure of the proposed tax is critical. Unlike a profit tax, it applies to gross gambling revenue—the portion bookmakers retain after paying out winnings, but before operational costs.
Given that sportsbook margins typically sit in the 5%–10% range, a 20% tax on GGR is not trivial. It effectively reduces operator margin at a structural level, forcing adjustments elsewhere in the business.
Those adjustments rarely happen in isolation.
How the Market Is Likely to Respond
Operators faced with higher costs tend to respond in predictable ways—not dramatically overnight, but gradually and consistently.
Punters are likely to notice changes in three key areas:
- Odds and pricing: Margins may tighten slightly, particularly on high-volume markets like football and horse racing
- Promotions: Welcome bonuses, free no deposit bonus, free spins no deposit and odds boosts may become less frequent or less generous
- Bonus conditions: Wagering requirements and terms may become stricter to manage risk
Individually, these shifts may seem minor. Collectively, they reduce long-term betting value—especially for regular bettors.
“We’re already seeing punters ask harder questions about value,” said Dennis Kumar, analyst at Betting.za.com. “When the promotional environment tightens, the bettors who understand margins and shop across bookmakers will have a real edge over those who don’t.”
The Risk of Unintended Consequences
The policy goal behind the tax is clear: curb harmful gambling behaviour while ensuring the state captures a fair share of industry revenue.
However, there is a well-documented risk in global markets: over-taxation can weaken the regulated ecosystem.
If licensed bookmakers become less competitive, some bettors may drift toward offshore platforms that:
- Do not pay local taxes
- Operate outside South African regulation
- Offer fewer consumer protections
This creates a paradox. A policy designed to strengthen oversight can, if miscalibrated, push activity into less controlled environments.
Regulation Needs More Than Taxation
A sustainable betting market is rarely built on taxation alone. Effective regulation typically combines multiple levers, including:
- Responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion
- Enforcement against illegal and offshore operators
- Clear advertising and promotional standards
- Transparency around bonus terms and pricing
The challenge for South Africa is finding the balance between consumer protection and market competitiveness.
What This Means for Punters
For everyday bettors, the shift will be gradual but meaningful.
The era of aggressive promotions and high-value bonuses may begin to taper, replaced by a more measured, efficiency-driven market. Odds may become slightly sharper, and value harder to find.
According to analysis from Betting.za.com, this shift places greater emphasis on informed betting. Comparing bookmakers, understanding margins, and evaluating the real value behind offers will become more important than simply chasing bonuses.
In other words, the advantage may shift from promotions to knowledge.
Where the Market Goes From Here
The proposed 20% GGR tax represents more than a fiscal policy—it marks a transition point for the South African betting industry.
The market is likely to become:
- More regulated
- More consolidated
- Less promotion-driven
- More focused on long-term sustainability
Whether that transition ultimately benefits or harms punters will depend on how well policy is implemented—and how effectively the regulated market remains competitive.
One thing is clear: the future of online sports betting in South Africa will look very different from its past.
