Hugely excited to be giving my first keynote speech as CEO of the Betting and Gaming Council at the EGR Global London Summit. It focuses the mind when you only have 7 days to think about and draft your speech and slides….! Unfortunately there is no such thing as a quiet period of time in our world, especially with all the recent tax speculation this week. I have been very vocal on the wide ranging, negative impacts, any increase on gambling taxes would have. It’s clear, any increase would: - Slam the brakes on growth and investment in our sector, at a time when the UK needs it most - Denigrate the customer offering - Derail the horse racing industry and jeopardise funding of other sports such as snooker, rugby league and darts - Drive further customers into the unsafe, unregulated market, which is already shockingly large in the UK (1.5m Brits spending c.£4.3bn) Our members are global leaders in the technology and entertainment sector and great British success stories who are determined to continue playing a crucial role in the UK’s growth agenda.

For gaming and betting platforms, payments partners play a significant role. Innovative offerings like one-click payments can be a game changer - here's why. The volume of users transacting on and interacting with gaming platforms is often massive - and those users have plenty of choices on where to place their bets or play games in what has become a highly saturated market. The ability for a customer to easily, seamlessly and quickly make a deposit into their account and place their bets or start playing is critical - and instant value allocation is a huge need. Get a closer look at the role payments plays in such a competitive, always-on environment and how some prominent businesses have benefited from one-click payments with Stitch: https://lnkd.in/d3TerSpc

After a tough beginning of the year, commercial casino gaming markets have rebounded the last couple months and online casino and sports betting continue strong growth. Somewhat contrary to recent prognostications of recession. However more commercial markets are down than up and those that are up significantly are in the early innings of their cycle toward maturity. How much gas is left in the consumer tank? Interesting times ahead.
