きっと明日もまたガクリ？('A`)

2008年07月15日(火) 02:30:03 – Alphaziel

普段はあまり気にしていなかったのですが、先日に foobar2000 本体やコンポーネントをアップデートした際に異様に起動が遅い…foobar2000 をインストールしたディレクトリを覗いてみると custominfo_sqlite.db のサイズが 6MB 超えている…

なんでだろうと思い、一旦 foobar2000 を終了し SQLite Database Browser にて custominfo_sqlite.db の中を見てみると、同じ曲の fieldname が PLAYED_TIMESTAMP のレコードがやたらとできてる…多分コレのせいでしょう…

Preferences › Playback Statistics Custom › Playback Statistics Custom Settings の Play Stamp をチェックしていると Playback Statistics Update Timing に合致する度にレコードが挿入されてしまう。要はコレは再生履歴なんですが、foobar2000 じゃこのデータを使う手段や使い道がないのでチェックオフにしておく

で、PLAYED_TIMESTAMP フィールドは UI の中でも使用していないので、このレコードを削除する事にします。SQLite Database Browser で行ってもいいんですが、PHP で以下のような簡易ダイエットスクリプトを作成して実行

<?php

$dbf = './custominfo_sqlite.db';

$dbh = new PDO( 'sqlite:'.$dbf );

$stmt = $dbh->query( 'DELETE FROM quicktag WHERE fieldname = "PLAYED_TIMESTAMP"' );

echo 'row count: '.$stmt->rowCount()."\n";

echo 'error code: '.$stmt->errorCode()."\n";

$stmt = $dbh->query( 'VACUUM' );

echo 'error code: '.$stmt->errorCode()."\n";

?>

上記スクリプトを実行する事によって、約 25000 レコードが削除され、6.02MB だったファイルが 1.19MB までに小さくなりました。小さくなった custominfo_sqlite.db を foobar2000 のディレクトリに戻し、起動…サックリ起動するようになりました

使用しているフィールド PLAY_COUNT, FIRST_PLAYED_TIMESTAMP, LAST_PLAYED_TIMESTAMP が UI 側で正常に表示される事を確認して終了です

Legal Regulations in the UK

The UK remains one of the most mature markets for online gambling, with over £5 billion in total bets placed annually. The Gambling Act 2005, overseen by the UK Gambling Commission, sets strict standards for licensing, advertising, and player protection. Operators must adhere to these rules to legally offer their services within the UK jurisdiction. Notably, online operators must obtain a license, demonstrate financial stability, and implement responsible gaming policies.

Licensing and Licence Approval Process

The licensing process involves multiple steps designed to verify an operator’s credibility and operational integrity:

Application submission with detailed business plans
Background checks on key personnel and financial stability
Demonstration of responsible gaming policies and anti-fraud measures
Technical testing of software and payout systems
Approval and issuance of the license, typically within 24–48 hours upon successful review

Once approved, operators must maintain compliance through regular audits and reporting.

Player Protection and Responsible Gaming

Protecting players is a cornerstone of legal compliance. UK regulators require operators to implement features such as:

Self-exclusion options
Deposit limits and cooling-off periods
Clear terms and conditions
Educational resources about responsible gambling
Regular monitoring for signs of problem gambling

Wagertales demonstrates exemplary adherence by integrating these features seamlessly into their platform, ensuring players can gamble responsibly and within their limits.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policies

AML compliance is critical to prevent illegal activities. Operators must perform customer due diligence, including verifying identities through official documents, and monitor transactions for suspicious activity. Statistically, 75% of online gambling operators report suspicious transactions annually, emphasizing the importance of robust AML protocols. Wagertales employs advanced analytics to detect anomalies and ensure transparency.

Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Measures

Adherence to data protection laws like the GDPR is mandatory. Operators must secure player data through encryption, regular security audits, and strict access controls. For example, Wagertales invests in state-of-the-art cybersecurity infrastructure, reducing data breach risks by 40% compared to industry averages. Transparency about data usage builds player trust and aligns with legal standards.

Comparative Analysis of Licensing Bodies

Licensing Authority	Jurisdiction	Key Features
UK Gambling Commission	United Kingdom	Strict regulation, high player protection, comprehensive compliance requirements
Malta Gaming Authority	Malta	Flexible licensing, favorable tax rates, strong technical standards

Choosing the right licensing authority impacts operational costs and market access, with UK licenses offering the highest credibility for UK players.

Future Trends in Online Gambling Regulation

Emerging trends suggest increased regulation around cryptocurrency use, blockchain transparency, and age verification technology.
