In this episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, James Ross is joined by Joe Streeter, Editor of iGaming Expert, to take a whistlestop tour of the latest iGaming news from around the world.

The duo begin in Rwanda where the government has moved to significantly increase gambling taxes in the country amid increased political volatility. They explore the political and economic implications of the change and emphasise the importance of understanding the broader context of entering new markets for operators.

After the break, the focus switches to Thailand where a major update to the regulatory framework for Thailand’s casino bill could see the exclusion of the vast majority of Thai nationals from integrated resorts. Joe discusses the reaction to the news and the broader consequences for the sector in the region.

Ending the episode, the conversation touches on Stake’s viral marketing campaign involving Drake and the reactions to the stunt from across the iGaming industry.
