Finland’s New Framework, UK Crackdowns, & The Future of US College Betting

Weekend conversation corner - 23 January

Join hosts Oliver and Charlotte for Season 2, Episode 3 of "Weekend Conversation Corner," brought to you by Focus Gaming News. This week, we navigate the shifting global landscape, starting with the newly approved Finnish Gambling Act that establishes a regulated market for 2027. We also analyse Denmark’s impressive 17.1 per cent revenue rebound, the British Gambling Commission’s call for industry unity against illegal operators, and Bosnia and Herzegovina's push to end VAT exemptions to fund healthcare. With Washington lawmakers proposing to lift the ban on in-state college betting, can the industry balance the need for regulated options with the NCAA's concerns over athlete safety? Tune in as we discuss this debate and the latest legislative moves in New Jersey regarding sweepstakes and casino expansion.
