  • Today’s episode is the long-overdue second part of our discussion with Optimove’s CEO, Pini Yakuel as part of our CRM-focused podcast.

    So James Ross and Pini decided, during the last podcast, that the duo should probably revisit the current state of CRM due to only managing to get through two topics but, in hindsight, providing a brilliant educational session for listeners of this CRM series that has created a building block for future episodes.

    In today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, James and Pini will dive more into Optimove's successes and failures over the last 12-months, mistakes marketers still doing in 2024, as well as aims and ambitions for the next 12-months.

  • Easter’s four-day break sees the global gambling sector return to the news that Canadian fintech and payments darling Nuvei has been acquired by PE Group Advent International for $6.3bn.

    Going private, what will be the ramifications of Nuvei’s takeover be on gambling incumbents? Taking into account the fast rise of a multi-billion enterprise primarily built on servicing the high-risk payment and customer onboarding duties of operators such as Entain, Flutter, DraftKings and bet365.

    Elsewhere, Italy’s ongoing reorganisation of its gambling laws, hits a stumbling block with regards to how federal rules can be applied across autonomous provinces who demand guaranteed protections and compensation to implement changes.

  • When Penn Entertainment offloaded Barstool Sports, the suits at the company inevitably exhaled thinking that the long list of PR gaffes were a thing of the past.

    However, this weekend, Rece Davis created a problem of “Can’t Lose Parlay” proportions when his off the cuff remark about wagering on ESPN Bet blew up the internet. Is this just a public snafu or is this a matter that could result in regulatory fines? And, with this gaffe and the major betting scandals erupting out of the MLB and NBA, is the industry doing enough as a response?

    We’ll discuss all that and more on today’s episode of iGaming Daily, as SBC Americas Editor, Jessica Welman, is joined by Dustin Gouker, Founder at Closing Line Consulting.

  • Throughout gaming, online casino games are one of the most popular hobbies around, with people from various generations and professions indulging in what's offered. They truly do stand the test of time.

    Yet why do these games remain so popular? The answer is quite simple, it’s the knowledge the iGaming sector has taken from its video game counterpart and incorporated various components to its success.

    And in today’s episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, we’ll be looking at these successful integrations, as well as teasing an upcoming video interview with John Romero, game director, designer, programmer and developer of popular video games, such as Doom, Wolfenstein and Quake, to name a few, ahead of his keynote appearance at this year’s CasinoBeats Summit.

    Joining James Ross on today’s podcast is Ellis Davis, Marketing Content Writer at SBC, who conducted the soon to be released interview and, like James, is a huge video game fanatic.

  • A busy morning saw markets updated with the respective full-year 2023 results of gambling giants Flutter Entertainment and 888 Holdings.

    Flutter's revenue is going from strength to strength across most of its markets following a business transformation in 2023. Yet Flutter’s stellar metrics are dragged by corporate losses of $1.2bn.

    Meanwhile, 888 is now undergoing a proposed rebrand to become Evoke, as part of its Value Creation plan, as revenue for the operator improved driven by a shift away from dot com markets.

    Once more, 888 posts consecutive year losses of £56m – as all eyes turn to how new CEO, Per Widerström, will turn around corporate performance and value.

    Joining CasinoBeats Senior Editor, Conor Porter, to discuss the above, is CasinoBeats Editor, Joe Streeter, and Ted Menmuir, Content Director at SBC News.
