“Dissecting Finland’s gambling reform plans”   The article by Nicole Macedo on the Finnish gambling reform, published by iGamingBusiness (please see the link below), is a great read and, as The Gaming Boardroom put it, "is essentially required reading for anyone involved in the region". While it only scratches the surface compared to the in-depth analyse we Legal Gaming Attorneys at Law produced for our clients, it is still a great place to start. It also features comments from yours truly:   Channelisation could be further hindered by a ban on targeted advertising, such as quick tips and keyword search advertising. This would significantly hinder activity for traditional affiliates, warns local lawyer Antti Koivula.“How high of a channelisation rate can be achieved by prohibiting bonuses and traditional affiliates?” he queried on Linkedin. “Marketing is a crucial tool for companies entering a new market to make customers aware of their brands and products.”   Affiliate marketing is one of the most important customer acquisition channels, followed by bonusing, while many use influencers to promote their brands as well.“Take all that away (or severely restrict it) and what’s left? Percentage-wise, not that much,” Koivula wrote. This, he said, would push customer acquisition efforts to TV, radio and newspapers, potentially creating a backlash against a perceived oversaturation of above the line channels with gambling ads.

Why Tier 1 is the Best Gambling Market, but Teams are Increasingly Choosing Tier 3 Tier 1 markets, such as the USA, the UK, and Western Europe, have always been considered the best for gambling due to high customer purchasing power and a stable regulatory framework. However, recently, more and more teams are shifting their focus to Tier 3 markets. Let's explore the reasons behind this phenomenon. Advantages of Tier 1 Markets 1. High Purchasing Power   - Customers from Tier 1 markets have high incomes, allowing them to spend more on gambling. 2. Stable Regulatory Framework   - Regulatory authorities in Tier 1 countries provide clear rules and consumer protection, reducing risks for operators. 3. Market Maturity   - Tier 1 markets have a long history of gambling industry development, enabling new operators to use proven strategies. Why Choose Tier 3 1. Less Competition   - Tier 3 markets are less saturated with operators, allowing new companies to quickly establish their niche. 2. Lower Marketing Costs   - Advertising expenses in Tier 3 markets are significantly lower, enabling more efficient use of marketing budgets. 3. Growth Potential   - Tier 3 markets have significant growth potential as many of them are not yet saturated with gambling activities. 4. Less Stringent Regulations   - Many Tier 3 countries have less stringent regulations, giving operators more freedom in conducting business. Challenges of Tier 3 1. Political and Economic Instability   - Many Tier 3 countries face unstable political and economic situations, increasing risks for operators. 2. Low Purchasing Power   - Customers from Tier 3 markets have lower incomes, which may limit their spending on gambling. Conclusion Tier 1 markets remain the most attractive for gambling due to their stability and high customer purchasing power. However, the growing potential and lower competition in Tier 3 markets make them increasingly appealing to new operators. The choice between these markets depends on the company's strategy and willingness to take on risks. Your Choice? Considering the advantages and challenges of each market, it is crucial to carefully weigh all factors before making a decision. Your success will depend on your ability to adapt to market conditions and fully leverage its opportunities.

Banning gambling ads is an enormously complex topic. What other solutions do we have on the table? It's important for operators to stay on top of regulations, but banning isn’t the answer—restrictions are. Rules and strict guidelines exist for a reason: no minor should be able to access gambling platforms. Advertising can also be regulated and monitored to control what audiences see. Complete bans will cause more harm in the long run. Instead, investing in promoting responsible gambling practices and strengthening security checks and registration processes could deliver better results.

This report comes as no surprise: 🎰 Malta's gambling industry accounts for 16% of Malta's entire business economy 💸 This can be seen from two different angles. On one hand it is great that after 20 years, the iGaming industry is still thriving in Malta. On the other hand, those who are cynical might say that the country is too over-reliant on one specific industry. Having been in this industry almost right from the start, I've seen the multiple benefits that iGaming brought to Malta: mainly job creation and value added to the economy 💹 These are great benefits, but with all the fluctuations in the global iGaming market, regulatory changes and other external factors, we can only hope that relying too heavily on this sector will not be detrimental for Malta in the long-run. In total there are around 12,000 people employed in this sector here in Malta (5.3% of the entire workforce), therefore many rely on this industry to keep going strong for many years to come 💪 What do you think? 🤔 You can find the full article by Times of Malta here 👉 https://lnkd.in/de_kN358 #iGaming #iGamingMalta #Malta #Economy #Gambling #GamblingSector
