Canadian Gaming Summit postmortem, thoughts on Alberta, and Betway makes an exit of sorts

Season 4 Episode 46

Listen on your preferred podcast app.


Some four weeks after the curtain fell on the latest Canadian Gaming Summit, the Gaming News Canada Show welcomed back regular contributors Amanda Brewer and Phill Gray. The two gambling industry veterans provided their thoughts and layers to the annual gathering of operators, regulators, suppliers, politicians, etc., to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Brewer, who spoke on the Alberta: A new gold rush? panel at last month's summit, and Gray delved into the details of what regulated gambling will look like in the western Canada province, the influence Ontario's existing industry will have on the Alberta model and which operators will be heading west when that market hangs the Open For Business shingle.

We also asked the resident GNC experts for their respective perspectives on the latest around the conversation about gambling advertising, and a recent call by the Canada Centre on Substance Use and Addiction for the introduction of a national strategy to address gambling-related harms in our home and native land.

Finally, Gray and Brewer gave their reaction to the news last week that Betway is pulling its sports betting product out of the U.S. of A. (but continuing to operate both sports wagering and igaming in Ontari-ari-ari-o).
