Gambling industry veteran Amanda Brewer returned to Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc, having just. . . er returned. . . from last week's ICE Barcelona conference. Brewer shared her thoughts on the move of ICE to the Spanish city from London, and some of the many conversations she had with members of the Canadian Gaming Association and stakeholders from other parts of sports betting and gaming universe. Not surprisingly, Brewer was frequently asked last week what in the world of Connor McDavid is going on with regulated gambling in the province of Alberta. The industry veteran also responded to our question about a recent report from FINTRAC Canada that online gambling sites are being used to launder proceeds from fentanyl dealing and production (Dave Briggs covered this in the Wednesday newsletter). Brewer pointed us to a LinkedIn post from another gambling biz veteran, Kinectify executive Derek Ramm, with his take on the alert from FINTRAC. Our conversation with Brewer also included the latest market performance report from iGaming Ontario and the organization's move to providing monthly reports; the status of a centralized self-exclusion program in Ontari-ari-ari-o; the potential impact of a provincial election on the industry; and Briggs's reporting last week that fake social media ads promoting phony online casino products on Meta and other social media platforms.

Many folks employed in the world of sports betting and gaming are congregating in Portugal this week for SBC Lisbon. That includes Gaming News Canada Show regular panelist and industry consultant, Amanda Brewer, who will be lending her voice along with other stakeholders in the Canadian marketplace (NorthStar Gaming's Michael Moskowitz and Jared Beber from Bet99 are among the speakers on a “Is the goose still golden” panel Wednesday around regulated gambling in Canada and the U.S. Speaking of which, Brewer and fellow consultant Phill Gray returned to the GNCS for a roundtable that was heavy on talk about the pending regulated market in Alberta. We tackled the rumblings about an opening date , the potential tax rate and other costs of doing business in the western Canada province, a consultative process which so far has been different than what operators experienced in the lead-up to the opening of regulated sports wagering and iGaming in Ontari-ari-ari-o, and the reaction from the Canadian Gaming Association to the results of a report by an Ottawa-based think tank earlier this month with the recommendation that Alberta shouldn't follow Ontario's lead in creating regulated gambling beyond what's currently offered by Alberta Liquor, Gaming & Cannabis. (Ed's Note: We reached out to the communications folks at the office of Minister Dale Nally requesting an update on the province's plans. After recording this episode, we received a response including: “We'd be happy to give an update, however due to a busy schedule we don't have much availability until the first to second week in October”. We expect the minister will be in Lisbon and will participate in a Thursday roundtable on Canada hosted by Alon Segev of Segev LLP. Also, ICYMI, Ron Segev was our guest on the podcast a few weeks ago to provide his take on Alberta.) Both Brewer and Gray weighed in on the proposal by two U.S. senators to create a federal Supporting Affordability and Fairness with Every Bet (SAFE) Act. Gray also addressed our questions into a recent roundtable organized by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission into operators placing limits on sports bettors (Steve Ruddock's thoughts in his Straight to the Point newsletter is a good read). Finally, our two panelists also weighed in on the pending retirement of IGaming Ontario executive director Martha Otton, and the challenges facing her successor. Hosted on Acast.

Listen to us do a commercial for Ontari-ari-o!! A baffling and bad first episode followed by maybe the best episode of season 3.
Some four weeks after the curtain fell on the latest Canadian Gaming Summit, the Gaming News Canada Show welcomed back regular contributors Amanda Brewer and Phill Gray. The two gambling industry veterans provided their thoughts and layers to the annual gathering of operators, regulators, suppliers, politicians, etc., to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Brewer, who spoke on the Alberta: A new gold rush? panel at last month's summit, and Gray delved into the details of what regulated gambling will look like in the western Canada province, the influence Ontario's existing industry will have on the Alberta model and which operators will be heading west when that market hangs the Open For Business shingle. We also asked the resident GNC experts for their respective perspectives on the latest around the conversation about gambling advertising, and a recent callby the Canada Centre on Substance Use and Addiction for the introduction of a national strategy to address gambling-related harms in our home and native land. Finally, Gray and Brewer gave their reaction to the news last week that Betway is pulling its sports betting product out of the U.S. of A. (but continuing to operate both sports wagering and igaming in Ontari-ari-ari-o). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Stuart Godfree, the Managing Director, Mobile and Geolocation Specialists for Mkodo, is our latest guest on the Gaming News Canada Show. Godfree, who co-founded the UK-based geolocation technology business 23 years ago this month, discussed the evolution of the company's business in the more-recent regulatory environment of U.S. states and Ontario, including Mkodo's work with the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation, Casumo and Betty. We asked Godfree for his thoughts on the regulatory regime created by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, with the assistance of iGaming Ontario, and the need for other Canadian provinces to follow the lead of the provincial government in Ontari-ari-ari-o.Our conversation touched on the collaboration between operators and companies like Mkodo, which includes its Geo Locs service for igaming operators. Godfree, who will participate in the Modern Approaches to Traditional Verticals: Digitization Comes for Lottery, Bingo, and Horses panel at next month's Canadian Gaming Summit, also provided his thoughts on the evolution of machine learning/artificial intelligence.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G2ysd1G6HSc?si=khj82YOv6NPC4SeW Hosted on Acast.

As sports betting and gaming continue to evolve, along with almost everything else, in the digital space, so do the methods of payments for people placing a sports wager and/or playing online poker, casino and slots. On this episode of the Gaming News Canada Show, Paysafe executive Greg Kirstein was our guest. Kirstein, who joined Paysafe in the summer of 2013 and is currently the general manager, iGaming for the company's North American business, discussed the business's work with the lottery and gaming corporations in Ontario and Quebec, and regulated operators in Ontari-ari-ari-o. He also got into the expanding inventory of online payment products. And, of course, we asked the Montreal-based Kirstein about the potential for expanding regulated gambling into other provinces across our home and native land. Hosted on Acast.

Some 24 hours before iGaming Ontario released its fourth-quarter and 2023-24 year-end market performance report, Canadian Gaming Association president and CEO Paul Burns made his return to the Gaming News Canada Show for somewhat of a rapid-round episode. Burns provided a plethora of perspectives on a number of topics, including the two-year anniversary of regulated gambling in Ontari-ari-ari-o and what's next, what may lie ahead for regulated sports betting and igaming in other Canadian provinces, the work that's been done in our home and native land on responsible gambling, and the role that Canada plays internationally in the gambling space. We also asked Burns about preparations between the CGA and SBC for the annual Canadian Gaming Summit in Toronto, taking place June 18-20. And, there was also some girls/women's hockey talk as the CGA's head honcho walks away from the bench after a lengthy coaching tenure in the Leaside Wildcats organization. Hosted on Acast.

EXPLOSIONS AND STABBINGS AND TORTURE, OH MY! For real, fam, when was the last time an hour of television worked so hard to make you pass out from sheer hysterical panic? The reviews are in, and 100% of the hosts of this podcast describe “Perverse Instantiation, Part I” as “one of the most goddamn stress-inducing TV episodes of all time.” (Who are we kidding, next week will be worse, but Erin’s coming to Portland so at least we can huddle on the couch together and scream at each other in real time instead of two time zones apart via text.) With all our precious babies more or less in the same plot now, we decided to break this down by character instead of storyline. Murphamy made our hearts leap, Kindra will never die, Jonty is on the rocks, we’re OBSESSED with Roan, Abby literally destroyed us as human beings, Briller is so cute they’re probably doomed, the Blakes are rising, Ontari is getting whatever the exact opposite of a character development arc is, and the Bellarke subtext is becoming text so fast that even ALIE is onto them.
