This week, Canadian sports betting industry veteran Steve Rapp joined us to talk about his new role as Canadian Country Manager for Pinnacle, and about the company waiting for iGaming Ontario approval after receiving a licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
Nic Sulsky, the Chief Commercial Officer for PointsBet Canada, discussed the company’s $1 million bracket challenge and other promotional events around next week’s inaugural PointsBet Invitational curling competition in Fredericton in partnership with Curling Canada.
Rapp, Gavin Roth, Mike Day, Amanda Brewer and Tony Luccisano all weighed in on Roger Federer’s announcement that the tennis legend is retiring from Grand Slams and ATP Tour competition after 20 Slam singles titles and 103 Tour championships.
The episode finished with a roundtable on the continued quest by Canadian media companies, Rogers' Sportsnet and Bell Media's TSN, to integrate sports betting content into their broadcasts and other platforms.
