iGaming Daily SBC Media

This week, gambling social media exploded because of all things Skee-Ball. Just about everyone on X, formerly known as Twitter, had a hot take about an announcement from arcade venue Dave & Buster's that it would be working with Lucra to develop a skill game based option in its app for customers to compete on its games with real money on the line.
And while people were heating up online, the commentary from Fanatics and DraftKings as it relates to the court case of Mike Hermalyn got even more fiery.
These will be the topics on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, as SBC Americas Editor, Jessica Welman, is once again joined by her partner in crime, SBC's Media Manager, Charlie Horner.
