Scott Longley talks Reputation Matters, affordability checks and much more: The Gambling Files RTFM 131
First up, Fintan and Jon talk nonsense, then pure unadulterated sense [0:00 - 11:57]. Then the chaps are joined by guest Scott Longley of publishing overlords +More Media. Scott joins the podcast to discuss the recent Reputation Matters event, which focused on the UK Gambling Commission's white paper and the issue of frictionless checks. He highlights the discrepancy between the government's desire for frictionless checks and the reality of what is feasible. Scott also emphasizes the importance of trust and transparency in the industry and the need for clear communication between regulators, operators, and the betting public. The conversation touches on the role of media in shaping public perception and the lack of representation for punters in decision-making processes [11:59 - 1:10:24]. Truth be told, Scott's a bit of a legend, and we at the podcast would like to express our thanks to his parents for their creation.
