Some 50 days since joining iGaming Ontario as the president/CEO of the conductor and manager of the province's competitive sports betting and online gambling market, Joseph Hillier was our guest on the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming. Hillier, who was introduced as Martha Otton's success at the end of August and joined iGO in early September, talked about the process that led him to accept the position and leave the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario after 19 months as the AGCO's chief strategy officer and corporate secretary. And how he can parlay his experience at the AGCO, and in the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General during the time the province's private sector-driven igaming market was created around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also asked the new boss about the first weeks in his new office and his priorities, which we highlighted in the newsletter just days before Hillier's start date – including the implementation of improved technology (especially with regards to data collection and reporting mechanisms), a long-awaited centralized self-exclusion program and improved protocols around anti-money laundering.

Det är rapportsäsong och två av iGaming-jättarna har inkommit. Fina Betsson och Evolution. Nelly har också glidit in och det var en riktig banger. Men först ut blir det löst snack. Allt mellan himmel och gjord. Sedvanligt sketsnack om allt från OnlyFans till C-RAD. Vi har med oss fina PinPoint idag som vanligt i rapportperioden. Din vän i rapportperioden så bara att gå in på https://pinpointestimates.com. Sedan blir det Betsson (00:28:04). Lindwall levererar stabilt, men inget som stack ut jättemycket finansiellt. Återköp på gång dock, och det verkade marknaden gilla. Hur man än vrider och vänder på detta kalaset så är det EV/EBIT bordell. Extremt stabilt och fina kassaflöden. Marknaden verkar endast hata Betssons kassaflöden eller tro att de ska minska rejält. Sedan blir det Nelly (00:53:39). Otrolig banger till rapport, men kursuppgången nästan utsuddad för att en större ägare verkar sälja. Vi tittar till och imponeras av Palm-effekten. Sedan dags för Evolution (01:14:40). Först avslöjandet om Playtech och sedan en rapport marknaden inte gillade. Det är tufft i Asien och fortsatt kämpigt generellt. Vi försöker ta oss igenom det som hänt. Det är inte lika billigt som Betsson, men nu är Evolution inte dyrt. Vi avslutar sedan med en Veckans Volley i sedvanlig ordning. Vi tipsar också om den nya tjänsten Quanor. En mycket spännande tjänst för börsnördar, som vi hoppas kommer att utvecklas till ett fantastiskt verktyg.
