Introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator in response to rising cases of authorised push payment (APP) fraud, starting 7 October, UK payment firms are now obligated to reimburse victims of APP fraud, with compensation capped at £85,000.
And this will be the topic of the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove. Callum Williams and Kieran O’Connor from the Payment Expert sit down to delve deeper into the new regulations and consider what they mean for the payments industry.
The duo discuss the rise of APP fraud, the reaction to the new regulations by UK payments firms given some called for the implementation of the rules to be delayed, and what social media firms are doing to combat fraud on their platforms.
After a short break, the show crosses the Atlantic to Las Vegas. We hear from Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas, and Lucía Mouriño, VP of Latin American Relationships at SBC, who were down on the ground at G2E.
One of the key themes at the conference was sweepstakes and Jess recaps an eventful panel session on the subject that became quite heated between those for and against the vertical.

On Friday, the shareholders of Kindred Group sanctioned the €2.4bn takeover of the Stockholm-listed gambling group by Française des Jeux (FDJ). First announced in January, FDJ’s takeover of Kindred will have a seismic impact on the landscape of European gambling, transforming its competitive makeup across the markets of France, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
And this will be the topic of today’s episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove. Martyn Elliott, SBC’s Project Director, is joined by Ted Menmuir, Content Director for SBC, and Conor Porter, Senior Journalist for CasinoBeats, to talk about what the deal means for the Western European gaming market.
On the agenda is the industry's reaction to the deal, whether the acquisition changes FDJ’s profile and status in gambling and how the purchase compares to that of Flutter Entertainment’s acquisition of the Italian firm Snaitech.
Although transformative, the acquisition carries significant frailties as FDJ’s buyout cannot hide Kindred's notable exposure in “stagnating Western European markets” and the trio also considers how FDJ will navigate Kindred’s growth challenges.

On the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Charlie Horner, SBC’s Media Manager, was joined by Ted Orme-Claye and Kieran O’Connor from the Payment Expert and Insider Sport team to talk about what they learned from their time at SBC Summit 2024.
Focusing first on the Payment Expert Summit, Kieran speaks about some of the biggest talking points from a panel on open banking, which discussed the problems with open banking, adoption issues with the technology and what the future holds for open finance.
One of the highlights of the conference was an appearance by the skateboarding icon Tony Hawk, who was interviewed live on the Meo Super Stage. A key message throughout the talk was authenticity and the trio discuss what brands can learn from this message in terms of choosing the right ambassadors and also the overall theme of their marketing.
Rounding off the episode, Kieran and Ted recapped conversations they had with some of the key stakeholders within the UK horse racing industry about what innovations can be brought to the table to help an industry that has become somewhat “stagnant” in recent times.

A week has passed since the SBC Summit in Lisbon came to a close. Even though the dust is beginning to settle on the event, talking points from panel sessions and discussions between attendees on the exhibit floor will be in the minds of industry stakeholders for months to come.
And on today's episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Conor Porter, Senior Journalist for CasinoBeats, is joined by Joe Streeter, Editor of Casinobeats, and Viktor Kayed, Senior Journalist for SBC News, to discuss their key takeaways from the event.
For Joe, it’s all about the emerging Asian markets, specifically Japan, Thailand and the Philippines while Viktor brings us some of the latest sports betting insights, focusing on what operators learnt from the recently concluded Olympics, an event that traditionally operators have struggled to capitalise on.
Another hot topic throughout the conference was AI and towards the end of the episode, Joe reveals the “change in tone” that he noticed around the technology throughout the panel sessions he attended and moderated.

Playtech, recognised as the ‘old boy’ of igaming, captured industry headlines following positive commercial developments and clever deal-making. On Monday (1 October), the LSE-listed gambling software development company announced its H1 interim results, assuring investors that it is on track to meet its 2024 EBITDA targets.
And this is the topic for the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove. Viktor Kayed, Senior Journalist for SBC News, is joined by SBC’s Content Director, Ted Menmuir, to delve deeper into the results as well as discuss Playtech’s premium sale of its Italian business, Snaitech, Playtech’s ambitions and the resolution of its revised technology and services agreement with Mexican joint-venture Caliplay.
Towards the end of the episode, the duo also consider if this is the dawn of a new and sensible Playtech and if by shedding its B2C wings, the firm can return to the lofty heights and valuations of the 2000s and early 2010s.

Earlier this month, X, formerly Twiter, was banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country. The row between Brazil and X initially began in April when the platform, and its founder Elon Musk, refused to follow a judge’s ruling to suspend dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.
