In today's episode of iGaming Daily, host Charlie Horner is joined by SBC News Editor Ted Orme-Claye and Adelaide Lopez, Partner at Wiggin LLP, a lawyer who specialises in complex data protection, media, intellectual property disputes, and all facets of commercial litigation, and Patrick Rennie, Partner at Wiggin LLP, who is a highly experienced data protection expert with specialist knowledge across the Film & TV, Interactive Entertainment and Betting & Gaming sectors, as the trio discuss Skybet’s successful appeal of a landmark 2025 High Court ruling regarding player consent and direct marketing for problem gamblers.  

Tune in to today’s episode to find out:

• How the Court of Appeal overturned a ruling that previously required operators to "read a player's mind" regarding their state of mental health during consent.  
• Why the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) intervened in the case to address concerns over the legal definition of consent.  
• What this "back to basics" verdict means for the future of objective consent tests under UK GDPR.  
• The impact this decision has on the commercial freedom of online operators and the autonomy of individual consumers.  
• Best practices for operators to balance effective marketing campaigns with robust safer gambling monitoring.
