We turn our attention to the Netherlands on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, as Ted Orme-Claye of SBC News steps into the host's chair, joined by his namesake, Ted Menmuir, to discuss the Dutch market, a jurisdiction shrouded in political instability that puts the betting market at risk. Later in the episode, Viktor Kayed calls in live from an incredibly well timed Gaming in Holland conference, and gives updates on the discussions from the conference rooms in Amsterdam. Firstly, the two Teds discuss the collapse of the Dutch four-party coalition, the impact of this political instability on the betting market, give some context as to why coalitions across Europe have led to less secure regulatory environments, and highlight existing Dutch gambling regulations, such as age restrictions, advertising bans, and deposit limits.There is also a large focus on the black market, something that poses a serious threat to the regulated market in the Netherlands, and where the Dutch regulators, the KSA, stand on all of this.

After a one-year absence, 2025 marked a return of Alec Bradley to the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Alec Bradley was not at the 2024 Trade Show because partner company STG decided to alternate between the brands of General and Forged, and 2024 was a year for General. It was odd not seeing Alec Bradley at the Trade Show, as they had been a staple of PCA/IPCPR Trade Shows for as long as I can remember. Therefore, seeing Alec Bradley back at the Trade Show was great. Overall, this was quite an exciting year for Alec Bradley as they have a new line coming out of a different factory for the brand. At the same time, they announced expansions to one of their most successful lines, Black Market. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-wCZ

The trafficking of weapons meant for warzones often involves complex networks of arms dealers, corrupt officials, and organized crime groups. Here's a summary of how this process generally unfolds:AcquisitionConflict Zones: Weapons are initially acquired from conflict zones, where they are often plentiful due to ongoing wars or civil unrest.Military Surplus: Arms dealers obtain surplus weapons from military stockpiles. These might be obsolete or excess to the needs of the armed forces.Black Market: Weapons can also be sourced from the black market, where they are sold illegally by corrupt military personnel or officials.TransportationSmuggling Routes: Arms dealers use established smuggling routes to transport weapons. These routes often overlap with those used for drug trafficking.Bribes and Corruption: Bribes are paid to corrupt border officials, customs agents, and police to facilitate the smooth transit of weapons across borders.Disguised Shipments: Weapons are hidden in shipments of legal goods, such as food or machinery, to avoid detection.DistributionCriminal Networks: Weapons are sold to organized crime groups, gangs, or other non-state actors. These groups use their existing distribution networks to move the weapons further.Drug Cartels: Arms dealers often trade weapons directly for drugs. This is particularly common in regions where drug cartels operate, as they have both the resources and the demand for firearms.Barter System: In some cases, weapons are bartered for other illicit goods or services, including drugs, making it a mutually beneficial exchange for both parties.Final Sale or TradeEnd Users: The end users of these trafficked weapons can range from gang members and drug cartels to terrorist organizations and insurgent groups.Profit Generation: The sale or trade of weapons for drugs allows arms dealers to profit significantly, which they reinvest into further illegal activities.Market Dynamics: The illicit arms market is influenced by supply and demand. As conflicts flare up or as the need for drugs increases, the trafficking patterns and prices fluctuate accordingly.ImpactViolence and Instability: The influx of trafficked weapons exacerbates violence and instability in both conflict zones and areas plagued by drug-related crime.Enforcement Challenges: Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in tracking and intercepting these illegal arms due to the sophisticated methods used by traffickers.About a year ago we were having the discussion about MANPADS and other shoulder fired systems falling into the hands of the cartels and the legacy media was quick to deny it. Well, like usual, it would seem as if the legacy media wasn't exactly telling you the truth. So in this episode, we are going to swim through the muck and find some clarity.(commercial at 12:59)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mexican cartels boast of increased firepower, including U.S. weapons (usatoday.com)
