It's a Batsh*t Crazy World

The world is a crazy place, and our industry is not much different.
We have news from the Netherlands, where players can participate
in illegal activities and still have the courts support them.
While in Brazil, vague laws and aggressive politicians are
pushing the market toward a dangerous position.

Betsson did good to drop the Netherlands Acquisition, I'm not sure who is worst the UK or the NL..


Thanks for the great update, as always the best news reports in the industry!

The world sure is a crazy place… but as long as the sun’s still shining, there’s always hope!

Brazil is really challenging environment for casino affiliates lately, between google ranking hacked government sites and the government adding more and more restrictions and high taxation, it just doesn’t feel sustainable anymore.

It strikes me that with so many good examples on how the industry can be regulated people still try to reinvent the wheel.

Unless there’s a better balance between regulation, market appeal, and enforcement, I’m not sure how viable it’ll be in the long term.
