Have you clicked on our sponsors yet? Don’t do it. Optimove is here, and Clarion Gaming is here. Whatever you do, don’t click on ’em, thanks. (Please let us know if our reverse psychology worked on you ... or didn’t!) The UK’s Gambling Commission recently released some statistics on the prevalence of problem and at-risk gambling. What do these stats mean? And how are these stats different from the results of previous studies? Returning to the show to discuss these messy numbers is Melanie

Thanks to our awesome sponsors Optimove and Clarion Gaming for helping us bring The Gambling Files Podcast to you. This episode opens with tales of accidentally sending very personal messages to colleagues. Oops. That silliness out of the way, Jon and Fintan get into the heart of the episode—a chat with Christina Cook, a compulsive gambling addict who is living in recovery and is three years gambling-free. In a nutshell: * Christina shares her personal story of being a gambling addict in

We bring The Gambling Files Podcast to you thanks to our tremendous sponsors Optimove and Clarion Gaming. As we gear up for the complete sexification of the podcast (next week!), we thought we would do a news roundup episode because there was quite a lot of interesting news going on. Unsurprisingly, Fintan and Jon disagree about it. Oh well. Anyway, discussion in the episode includes Jon’s birthday cake, a national ad framework for sports betting advertising in Canada, a pub closing in Vegas, The

We bring The Gambling Files Podcast to you with the benevolence of our virile sponsors Optimove and Clarion Gaming. No intro this episode, so no need to press that 'skip' button! We dive straight into the action with this special episode. We have joined forces with one of our beautiful sponsors Optimove to talk stats, the Euros, and what operators can do during this crazy summer of sport. And we’re not even doing it because they’re sponsors, but because IT’S INTERESTING. I know, right! Jon Collins,

As ever we begin by thanking our benevolent sponsors, who are not only more handsome than their competitors, they also spend more time with elderly relatives, and petting animals. We are talking about the legendary Optimove and Clarion Gaming, and their loveliness and fluffiness is what makes podcasts like ours possible. Oh, and of course iGB Live! is right on the doorstep. Get on it! This episode, we have Fintan and Jon talking a bit before the guests arrive [0:00 – 24:27], then they’re joined by

Special thanks as always to the two Euro 2024 finalists, Optimove and Clarion Gaming. It’s fair to say that no matter what the outcome, football is the only true winner today. We kick off with Fintan and Jon doing that thing they do [0:00 – 10:48], then we’re joined by two guests: Herd Capital’s Jason Ziernicki and Kyle Scott, to talk turkey. Well, affiliates. And other stuff. The conversation covers the recent changes in Google's newspaper partnerships and the impact on media publishers and

Special thanks as always to our two top of the league sponsors, Optimove and Clarion Gaming. Both utter legends and, funnily enough – total coincidence, too – Optimove’s CEO and founder is on this episode! First up there is a short intro, in which both Jon and Fintan completely lose it because of some inappropriate comments [0:00 – 6:05]. And they’re comments for which Fintan certainly apologises. Then we meet Pini Yakuel, of Optimove CEO fame. Our conversation covers a wide range of topics,

"We're making licenses and regulations worthless." So says Washington Post journalist Gus Garcia-Roberts. And you know what, he may have a point. In conversation with Jon, Gus delves into the scandal involving baseball player Shohei Otani, his interpreter, and a bookie named Matt Boyer. The conversation explores the role of casinos in money laundering and the lack of regulation and enforcement in the gambling industry. They also touch on the cultural impact of sports betting and the

Oh, and they are our eminent sponsors, and we love them bigly. Note: neither entity fights crime. One has industry-leading CRM software, the other organises industry-leading gambling events. But we believe they could fight crime, if they chose to. Apologies for the delay in a new episode, all Jon’s fault. He’s old,

After a brief introduction with Jon and Fintan [0:00 – 9:44], they’re joined by a genuine superstar guest: former PaddyPower Head of Mischief Ken Robertson (now founder and CEO of The Tenth Man), who regales the pair with tales of derring-do and madness from a time of huge creativity and (relative) freedom in

In this episode, Jon and Fintan have a casual conversation about various topics, including books, unions, and the challenges faced by Atlantic City. These challenges include the potential impact of a New York City casino, which is a biggie. Oh, and Jon’s therapist has retired, so there is a decent chance the podcast might be his new therapist.

As ever, huge thanks and big love to our benevolent sponsors Optimove and Clarion Gaming. We love you bigly. Ok, the intro to this one is maybe a bit weird – it spans a lot of things, but begins with a Google search for ‘whale sputum’ and pretty much goes downhill from there [0:00 – 25:27]. Then we welcome guest Martin Calladine, a football writer and author who does not shy away from the less salubrious side of the industry. We explore the involvement of football clubs in cryptocurrency scams and
