Andrew Rhodes, part 2: HE REVEALS MORE! The Gambling Files RTFM 125
"We're not here to try and thwart the industry. We're trying to make sure the industry can succeed and exist in an entirely compliant way." We left the first episode on such a cliffhanger, you will be champing at the bit – no pun intended – to get at part two... Fintan and Jon keep the intro short and sweet [0:00 - 5:39], though they do of course mention graceful champion sponsors Clarion Gaming, the elegant sports media buying specialists BWise Media, and returning for one week only, the dynamic pirouetters Gaming Recruitment Solutions. Then it's on to round two, where we discuss – with Andrew Rhodes, no less!: the implementation of the White Paper and the ongoing consultation process, how the Gambling Commission reviews and responds to the feedback received, concerns about the impact of affordability checks on the high-end casino industry, cashless technology, and the potential for the illegitimate market to thrive if regulations become too strict [5:40 - 1:17:50]. We also learn Andrew's spiritual dojo, and I think this is the episode where Jon warns everyone off vegan lager.
