Right to the Source is back with some hasty calculations on Illinois’ tax grab, before Robin Harrison and Ed Birkin with a jazzy new recording setup turn the conversation to gaming regulators.
Robin and Ed discuss how these industry referees are caught between political pressure from lawmakers and industry expectations, and whether regulatory goals actually reflect market realities. There’s also the catch-22 situation regulators find themselves in, when channelisation remains the ultimate goal despite any signs of the overall market growing being met with concern by many stakeholders.
There’s even time to list some of the best referees. Who remembers Uriah Rennie?

Right to the Source is back and as promised Robin Harrison of iGB and Ed Birkin of H2 Gambling Capital are discussing the African gambling market. They talk through the continent's biggest markets and the growth prospects for gambling in South Africa, the rising popularity of virtual sports in Nigeria and why gambling tax in Kenya limits the market.
Ultimately it's a look at what holds the African gaming market back. Many in the industry see it as a sleeping giant, but the popularity of withholding taxes in particular is limiting growth.

After a week off while Ed waded through the rain in Miami and Robin wandered around Paris, Right to the Source is back to talk about... the US, Latin America and France. It's not all a story of what the guys did on holiday however, with a deep dive on the fragmented market in Argentina and Mexico's highly competitive nature, before a short hop, skip and a jump across the Atlantic to look at France's prospects of passing icasino legislation.

Everyone is talking about it so it'd be rude for Right to the Source not to consider what's next for Bet365. This episode also has more on other potential power players in the US and some chatter on who's winning in Latin America thrown in for good measure.
