The unregulated U.S. gaming market is worth hundreds of billions, and states are finally starting to realize what they're leaving on the table.

This week on the MaxBet Podcast, Shawn Fluharty joins us to talk about how iGaming legislation actually gets passed, who's shaping the conversation behind the scenes, and why education and relationships are the real shortcuts to getting things signed.

We cover the gap between lawmakers and operators, the federal vs. state debate, and how regulation could unlock massive new revenue for states ready to move out of the gray market and into the future.

It's smart, surprising, and more entertaining than a conversation about legislation has any right to be.
