In today's episode of iGaming Daily Host Charlie Horner is joined by special guest Pontus Lindwall CEO of Betsson AB and SBC Editor-at-Large Ted Menmuir as the trio delve into Betsson’s Q1 2026 results, navigating the stark contrast between record B2C customer engagement and the mounting margin pressures of a maturing European market.

Tune in to today's episode to find out:

• How Betsson is managing a significant 47% slump in operating income amid rising global gaming taxes.
• The primary reasons behind the sharp €40m revenue drop in the B2B segment and the path to recovery.
• Why Latin America remains the group’s "crown jewel" for growth while Central and Eastern Europe face regulatory headwinds.
• The strategic logic behind the €65m Rhino Entertainment acquisition and what it means for Betsson’s Canadian ambitions.
• Whether the gambling industry has officially entered a new era of "commercial maturity" defined by higher costs and tighter regulation.
