Show Notes

Welcome back to the World Series of Politics! After we turned up the heat with Congresswoman Titus in our last episode, we’re talking cooling off with responsible gaming legend Keith Whyte. 


In his new guise as president of Safer Gambling Strategies, Whyte joins Brandt Iden and Brendan Bussmann to discuss the potential for global harmonisation of responsible gambling standards to tech’s role in minimising gambling harms. 

 

There’s also discussion of the National Survey on Gambling Attitudes and Gambling Experiences (NGAGE), produced by the National Council on Problem Gambling, an authority Whyte led for 27 years. That actually shows problem gambling rates dipping to pre-pandemic levels. 


There’s also some myth busting about the illegal market, debate on state versus federal approaches, and a call for transparency, all in the latest World Series of Politics!
