If you want the inside track on Curacao, you’ve come to the right place.

This episode, the chaps have big news, something different to show you, and much more. 
Jon’s big news is that he went to see the new Godzilla film, and it was apparently really good. Fintan’s news is bigger though: a new sponsor has joined the podcast family in the shape of Optimove, and after an in-depth product demo the chaps are bedazzled. Bedazzled! 
The gents discuss the product, and Optimove’s presence at ICE, and Amazon gift vouchers, and more [0:00 - 20:14].
Oh, and our something different is, we’ve done video this time. It might not be live when this goes live, but you can see the channel here.

Then the week’s very special guest is the wonderful Aideen Shortt, advisor to Curacao’s Minister of Finance and who has been at the heart of the island’s regulatory overhaul. Aideen has had a long and impressive career in gambling, with many big-name companies and quality job titles on her resumé.
Aideen discusses the changes to Curacao's gambling licensing regime, clarifying that the LOK has not been rejected and explains the parliamentary process it is going through. She emphasises the need for modernization and the economic, social, and reputational benefits it will bring to Curacao, discusses the timeline and process for existing and new licensees, and explains the flexibility and transparency of the GCB portal.
Rather excitingly, we talk about the draft crypto legislation and the involvement of experts in shaping it, the game-changing potential of Curacao and the importance of forward-looking legislation. 

At ICE, Curacao’s Gaming Control Board will be at N9-260 so stop by and say hello, tell them we sent you. No reason though, it’s just nice to be mentioned, so thanks in advance for that.
And you can find the gaming control portal here.
