Ep 457: 'Fundamental changes' set for Netherlands & Entain's legal battle overview

In this episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Viktor Kayed, Senior Journalist for SBC News, is joined by Ted Menmuir, SBC’s Content Director, and Danny Lee, Senior Journalist for Slotbeats, to delve into the latest news from across the gaming industry.

The trio begin in the Netherlands where the government will embark on a “fundamental change of course in gambling policy” as it responds to the “worrying results” of the Remote Gambling Act (KOA). They discuss the complexities of the unique regulatory approach taken by the Dutch government and the aims of the reforms to enhance player protection. 

Later on in the episode, the conversation shifts focus to the lawsuit against Entain, led by its former Chief Executive, Kenny Alexander, and Chair, Lee Feldman. Ted, Viktor and Danny delve into the details of the suit, which stems back to the Turkish bribery case Entain faced in 2019, and consider how recent leadership changes at the company add complexity to the legal case.
