In this special episode of iGaming Daily, Charlie Horner is joined by Leo Judkins, founder of iGaming Leader, to discuss what life is really like as a founder. From leaving a secure salary to managing burnout, making high-pressure decisions, raising investment and building a support network, Leo shares the lessons he's learned from building his own business and mentoring founders across the iGaming industry. In this episode: ✅ Why starting a business is far lonelier than most people expect✅ The biggest mistake founders make before launching✅ Why customers—not compliments—validate your idea✅ How to test a business before quitting your job✅ Why every founder needs advisors around them✅ Burnout, stress and protecting your energy✅ The difference between one-way and revolving-door decisions✅ Should founders raise investment—or stay bootstrapped?✅ Why you "trade your crown for a fuel tank" when taking investment✅ How successful founders stay motivated during difficult periods✅ Why celebrating your wins matters more than you think Leo also explains why surrounding yourself with experienced founders can dramatically improve your chances of success, and why transparency, speed and learning from others are often more valuable than trying to have all the answers yourself. Whether you're building an iGaming business, launching a startup or simply thinking about entrepreneurship, this episode is packed with practical advice from someone who's lived it. iGaming Daily is supported by Optimove, the creator of Positionless Marketing and the number one player engagement solution for sports betting and iGaming operators. #iGamingDaily #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Founder #CEO #Business #StartupLife #iGaming

    The Gambling Review Is Back On? What Burnham’s Cabinet Means For Operators |. Ep. 822

    Andy Burnham is the new Prime Minister but what does his government mean for the future of UK gambling regulation? In this episode of iGaming Daily, Charlie Horner is joined by SBC’s Editor-at-Large, Ted Menmuir, to break down Burnham’s cabinet appointments and the possible consequences for the gambling industry. Lisa Nandy has retained the DCMS brief, providing some continuity for a department still responsible for implementing the remaining stages of the Gambling Review. However, uncertainty remains around financial risk assessments, the statutory gambling levy and leadership at the UK Gambling Commission. In this episode: ✅ Why Lisa Nandy remaining at DCMS surprised the industry✅ What Andy Burnham’s cabinet reshuffle means for gambling✅ The ministers who could influence the Gambling Review✅ Why the statutory levy remains a major concern✅ The future of financial risk assessments✅ Why Gambling Commission leadership matters✅ Whether Labour could reopen the Gambling Review✅ How tougher advertising and licensing rules could return✅ Why the next few months could determine the industry’s direction✅ Whether UK gambling can finally reach regulatory settlement Ted explains why the financial risk assessment programme may be the defining issue. If it is implemented successfully, the existing reform programme could remain on course. If it fails, pressure could grow for Labour to reopen the entire Gambling Review. iGaming Daily is supported by Optimove, the creator of Positionless Marketing and the number one player engagement solution for sports betting and iGaming operators. #UKGambling #GamblingRegulation #AndyBurnham #LisaNandy #DCMS #GamblingReview #SportsBetting #iGaming #UKPolitics
