iGaming Leadership & Organisational Culture

Every analyst note leads with Brazil, Africa or the next US state. WiseGaming's commercial director says market access without a stack that can localise in weeks is "a money pit", that Curaçao's LOK reform is a filter he welcomes, that the agent model is converting rather than dying, and that his platform charges on net profit after bonuses, PSP and content costs rather than on GGR. He also says where the whole industry, his company included, is still behind on AI.

The Nordic Network group chief executive has just bought a Counter-Strike team. He is also the person willing to say that operators splashing cash on jerseys removed any incentive for esports organisations to run sustainable businesses, and that it is about to stop.

European platform providers have spent a decade failing in francophone Africa. Christophe Casanova, the former derivatives trader who runs the French platform that did not, says they arrive with the wrong mental model, and concedes that the unlicensed operators his clients compete against hold advantages no product can answer.
