    Episode 52: Keith Whyte on responsible gaming, regulation and rebuilding trust

    Welcome back to the World Series of Politics! After we turned up the heat with Congresswoman Titus in our last episode, we’re talking cooling off with responsible gaming legend Keith Whyte.  In his new guise as president of Safer Gambling Strategies, Whyte joins Brandt Iden and Brendan Bussmann to discuss the potential for global harmonisation of responsible gambling standards to tech’s role in minimising gambling harms.    There’s also discussion of the National Survey on Gambling Attitudes and Gambling Experiences (NGAGE), produced by the National Council on Problem Gambling, an authority Whyte led for 27 years. That actually shows problem gambling rates dipping to pre-pandemic levels.  There’s also some myth busting about the illegal market, debate on state versus federal approaches, and a call for transparency, all in the latest World Series of Politics!

    Episode 51: Dina Titus on the Fair Bet Act

    In this sizzling summer episode, World Series of Politics hosts Brandt Iden and Brendan Bussmann welcome back one of our favourite guests, Congresswoman Dina Titus, to find out how she’s giving bettors a fair shake with the Fair Bet Act.  The ‘big, bad, beautiful, b******t bill’ The Fair Bet Act is Congresswoman Titus’ fiery response to a sneaky Senate move that cuts the tax deduction on gambling losses to 90%. Titus pulls no punches as she calls out the “big, bad, beautiful, b******t bill” for cutting the longstanding 100% deduction on gambling losses, effectively taxing players on phantom winnings.  And bipartisan momentum is building, including backing from gaming giants, tribes and the American Gaming Association (AGA), for Titus’ bill to reverse the provision before it hits taxpayers in 2026.  The Congresswoman’s message is clear: This goes beyond protecting the industry, and it’s vital for players, communities and the future of regulated gambling in the United States.

    Episode 48: The (latest) Illinois sports betting tax raid

    It’s a fiery one this week! World Series of Politics goes in hard on the Land of Lincoln, where another tax grab from the legislature puts further pressure on Illinois sports betting licensees.  Does the Illinois sports betting tax grab essentially say the state is not a supporter of technological innovation? That’s Brandt’s take, and he warns it goes beyond gaming to target other technology innovators. How is that a sustainable strategy in the long-term? To Brendan, the sports betting tax grab is just further evidence of Illinois as a problem state for the gaming industry, especially in the wake of the Chicago casino project. “Illinois is just not a friendly space to go do business, plain and simple,” he says.
