Ep 505: Betsson Bets On Tech, While Entain Bets On Stella - With Pontus Lindwall

Today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, is a tail of two of the biggest operator's in the industry, as we cover big news from both Entain and Betsson.

First up, Ted Orme-Claye is joined by his namesake, Ted Menmuir, as they discuss the permanent appointment of Stella David as CEO, transitioning from an interim role. The two Ted's discuss the regulatory headwinds coming Entain's way, despite the strong performances of some of their brands, including Ladbrokes and Coral.

In the second half of the podcast, Viktor Kayed jumps into the host's chair, and he's joined by a very special guest, Pontus Lindwall, CEO of Betsson AB, following the posting of their Q1 results. Viktor asks Pontus about their Latin America strategy, AI integration, the possibility of using crypto and blockchain based payments, his opinions on gambling advertising restrictions, and their investment on mobile user experience.
