In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Media Manager Charlie Horner is joined by SBC’s Editor-at-Large Ted Menmuir and SBC News Editor Ted Orme-Claye. The trio discuss UK political affairs, with a particular focus on the gambling pledges made at the Liberal Democrat Party Conference.

Tune in to today's episode to find out:

• Whether the Liberal Democrats’ call to double Remote Gaming Duty to 42% is realistic and what such a sharp hike would mean for the UK market.
• Why MP Max Wilkinson believes the gambling industry has had a “free pass for too long” and if that criticism is fair.
• How the Lib Dems have shaped their stance on gambling reform since the Gambling Review and what their pledges really signal.
• If the party’s proposals truly matter given their limited influence on the Budget process.
• Whether the industry should be concerned about a growing political consensus around stricter gambling regulation.
