Although all eyes are on international football with the ongoing Euro 2024 and Copa America tournaments, business in English domestic football hasn’t slowed down. In recent weeks several Premier League teams have signed sponsorship agreements with international betting brands.

Host Ted Orme-Claye, editor of Insider Sport, is joined by Senior Journalist, Callum Williams, and Business Journalist, Kieran O’Connor, to discuss why teams and operators are so eager to secure these deals ahead of the Premier League’s ban on gambling operators as front-of-shirt sponsors at the end of the 2025/26 season onwards.

The trio also talk about the implications of these deals for compliance with profit and sustainability rules and the fan's reaction to the agreements.

On Thursday the British electorate heads to the polls to decide the outcome of the General Election following a six-week campaign that has seen political wagering dragged into the shenanigans and sheer stupidity of the Conservative Party’s GambleGate fiasco.

Host Martyn Elliott, SBC’s Media Project Director, is joined by Ted Orme-Claye, Editor of Insider Sport and Payment Expert and Ted Menmuir, Content Director at SBC, to discuss the “uninspiring” options available to the British public and the potential fallout of GambleGate for the Uk’s betting industry.

The trio also provide their analysis of England’s faltering but not yet finished Euro 2024 campaign and Ted Menmuir makes his pitch for Minister of Tourism for Georgia as he details his “fantastic week” at SBC Summit Tbilisi.

As the general election campaign drags on with both current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak and, if the polls are to be believed, in-bound Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, blowing non-fatal punches to each other regarding topics such as immigration, the NHS and tax cuts, it’s gambling that has now taken centre stage following a slew of betting activities in government. 

With the general election set for July 4th, the final weeks of the campaign have been overshadowed by a growing scandal over candidates and former MPs betting on the date of the general election, with some even placing a wager on losing their own seats. 

And on today’s episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, James Ross is joined by SBC’s Media Project Director, Martyn Elliott and CasinoBeats Editor, Joe Streeter, to dive into the different investigations happening by the Gambling Commission on these matters, who’s bet on what, we’ll question the role of operators and then also ask the question… is all this legal? 

Then, towards the end of the show, we’ll part ways and leave you in the hands of SBC’s Content Director, Ted Menmuir, who’s currently with a special guest in Georgia. Why you may ask? Stay tuned to find out.

Sadly, Thursday's usual duo of Jessica Welman and Charlie Horner will not be on today’s episode of iGaming Daily as Charlie decided that annual leave was more important than this podcast schedule. 

However, the show goes on as James Ross joins Jessica Welman to jump into, what she describes, as her biggest story break of her career, with the reveal of who’s behind the DraftKings extortion suit.

Earlier this week, the news broke that an unnamed plaintiff is alleging that famed bettor Gadoon “Spanky” Kyrollos attempted to extort him using information given to him by DraftKings Sportsbook. After some sluething, Jessica Welman later claimed she unmasked the John Doe.

And this will be the topic of today's episode of iGamin Daily, supported by Optimove, as Jessica unravels the case and reveals how she came to know Doe's identity.

The sporting calendar is full of some monolithic events and this summer Europe is set to host two of them, the UEFA Euro 2024, which is currently underway, and the Paris Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.

With huge tournaments comes huge interest and as such a large and often multi-dynamic following. For companies like sportsbooks, this leaves firms in the position of catering to a very large and diverse customer base.

And this will be the base of our discussion on today's episode of our CRM-focused series on iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, where Insider Sport's Editor, Ted Orme-Claye, returns to the hotseat, along with Optimove's Jonathan Inbar, Director of Strategic Services and Jonathan Collins, Strategic Services Team Leader.
