On the 200th episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, it felt like your humble host was playing a game of 200 Questions with the President and CEO of the Canadian Gaming Association, Paul Burns.
Burns has been a familiar voice and face on Gaming News Canada’s weekly audio show, going back to the early days when we gathered on Clubhouse every Thursday afternoon to talk about the soon-to-change Canadian gaming industry with the passing of Bill C-218 to legalize single-event sports betting in our home and native land. On this milestone episode, the CGA head honcho offered his thoughts on several recent happenings including:
The recent actions taken by The Alcohol and Gaming Association of Ontario against both FanDuel and PointsBet Canada.
The latest tete a tete between Loto-Québec and the Quebec Online Gaming Coalition.
The iGaming Ontario hiring of former AGCO chief strategy officer Ben Valido as its first Chief Responsible Gaming Officer.
The CGA’s involvement and the feedback it has received from its membership on the rules placed by operators and suppliers to do business in Alberta’s incoming open and competitive sports betting and gaming marketplace.
Burns’s recent op-ed on efforts within the Senate and federal government to create its own rules around sports betting advertising.
And much more.
