Channel 4 caused a stir this week as it aired Bradley Walsh's Million Pound Shot, a documentary disguised as a game show bringing to light issues around the gambling industry.

Today we discuss the public perception of gambling in the UK and ask whether these kind of depictions are helpful or useful to the public debate, or highlight serious issues that need raising.

Welcome back to iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, the creator of positionalist marketing and the number one player engagement solution for sports betting and iGaming operators.

I'm Charlie Horner, and joining me today, I'm with iGaming expert editor Joe Streeter and SBC News' senior journalist, Viktor Kayed.

Joe, how's things?

But look, that's a really interesting debate.

New Gambling Commission research found that 1% of repeat black market gamblers also used licensed operators in the UK, a finding that challenges assumptions made by both the regulator and gambling licensees.

The commission stated that unlicensed operators benefit from easy sign-up processes as UK licensees begin to introduce financial risk assessments as an extra layer of security.

So today we look at the fine balance in maintaining player protection and keeping the customer away from black market actors.

Are we now at a point where the same can be said of predictions, where so many people, particularly in the US, have become customers of it, that if, let's say, a regulator or a court was to just say, right, this is it, this is done, who's going to take charge of that market and gain those consumers?

Calcia is now valued at an eye-watering $40 billion after a series G round into the prediction market platform.

That comes despite massive legal and regulatory pressures in the United States over its sports events contracts.

So why are investors so confident in Calcia's outlook? And what does it mean for prediction markets? Welcome back to iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, the creator of positionalist marketing and the number one player engagement solution for sports betting and iGaming operators.

I'm Charlie Horner, and joining me today to discuss all things Calci, I've got SBC News editor Ted Armclay and SBC News journalist Patrick Killeen.

Partly, you know, claim that this is a major project and it is transformative for its network of casinos.

It will allow them to kind of tap into new audiences.

Group Partouche has announced that it will allow patrons to pay for casino chips with cryptocurrency across its stable of French casinos.

The program will be rolled out during the remainder of the year, with Partouche seeking full application of the transaction service across its French casino network by 2027.

So, how will this program be rolled out, and could this be a watershed moment for mass crypto adoption in European gambling?

I'm Charlie Horner, and today I'm going to discuss this with our editor-at-large, Ted Manure.

Do operators use AI or similar technology to make decisions about players based on their gambling activity? and then make decisions about how the operator markets to those players based on that player's activity.

Artificial intelligence is put in sportsbooks under the microscope, while Canada's regulated gambling map could about to change dramatically.

In the US, allegations that DraftKings use AI to target losing bettors are raising questions about where personalized marketing ends and player protection begins.

With regulators weighing new restrictions, could this become a turning point for how the industry uses AI? Meanwhile, in the Big White North, the recent opening of Alberta's iGaming market has shaken up Canada's landscape as it heads towards a wider regulated market, or are political and regulatory divisions set to slow things down? We will question that and try to answer it on today's episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, the creator of positionless marketing and number one player engagement solution for iGaming and sports betting operators.

I'm Fernando Notme, the manager for SBC, and I'm joined by the great Tom Neinegel.

Tom, how are you today? I'm very well, thanks, Fer.

And to our listeners out there, we'll see you in the next one.

There are wider consequences when it comes to just spiking tax and we're really seeing them take hold now.

Flutter has announced that 1,400 jobs are at risk as part of a restructuring of its UK and Ireland business.

Those jobs are across its Leeds, Dublin, Cluj and Porto offices and are part of a major cost-cutting exercise in the midst of tax rises.

So today we break down this seismic news and ask what this means for the future of the iGaming sector.
