All Things Gambling: Gambling advertisement in sports

Casino Guru News and the All Things Gambling webinar series are back with a new episode that discusses gambling advertisements in sports and the ethical dilemma of balancing money versus integrity.

Today, joining us are EPIC Global Solutions Director of Business Development Martin Bland, EPIC Global Solutions Head of Delivery Mark Potter and iGaming Consultant Joel Orme who take on this important topic and look for answers.

The conversation focuses on the growing popularity of sports betting all over the world and the often-tenuous relationship between sportsbooks and sporting organizations, the public’s concerns, and the pitfalls within the sector that may even undermine the integrity of athletes themselves. Are operators profiting at the expense of players’ safety? Is the topic a matter of ethics or regulation?

Our guests take on this issue head-on and seek to delve into the complexities of sports betting advertising and where a meaningful balance could be struck. Yet for all negative connotations with the sector and these types of relationships, there are good examples to be looked into, including the fact that gambling operators are investing in athletes to achieve better awareness about the issues involved with sports betting.

Bland talks about EPIC’s journey and work with prominent brands such as Kindred, 888, William Hill, Flutter, and Entain. Overall, the speakers concur that sports betting advertisements in the industry can be a positive thing, but there are contesting points of view. Dive in for the full conversation with our guests and what they think about gambling advertisements in sports. Is it a force for good?
