In this episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Jessica Welman sits down with Jonathan D. Cohen, author of 'Losing Big', to unpack the explosive growth of sports betting in the U.S.

Both Jessica and Jonathan dive into how legislation—especially Colorado’s distinctive approach—paved the way for rapid expansion, and why that growth comes with serious concerns.

From the rise of iGaming and prediction markets to the industry's struggle with self-regulation, Cohen makes a compelling case for stronger oversight and a renewed focus on responsible gambling.
