The Future of Social Casinos and Sweepstakes: The Gambling Files RTFM 199
In this episode of the Gambling Files we enjoy the usual flim-flam, see how everybody is doing, discuss favourite cities [0:00 – 18:21]…
Then Fintan and Jon meet Gavin Walters and Al Turner, the CCO and CEO of CogniPlay respectively, about their innovative approach to the social casino and sweepstakes market. They discuss the origins of CogniPlay, the unique aspects of their platform, and the current landscape of the gaming industry, particularly in the US. The conversation delves into the cultural significance of sweepstakes in North America, the challenges of operating in a regulated environment, and the importance of a well-structured coin ecosystem for their business model. We discuss the complexities of the online gaming industry, focusing on live dealer products, client expectations, marketing strategies, and the importance of responsible gambling. They explore the evolving landscape of advertising policies, the future growth of their business, and the opportunities available for affiliates in the booming sweeps market. The discussion highlights the need for compliance and the long-term vision of creating a responsible gaming platform [18:22 – 58:28].
