Months of work and collaboration with so many people has gone into this 68 page whitepaper with @PandaScore

And I gotta say it's absolutely the best piece of work I've done to date

My uni thesis was shorter and I wrote that in 11 months – so at least I can write faster now!

With the collaboration of several industry peers, today we’ve launched a comprehensive whitepaper to serve as the North Star for operators seeking to build a successful esports betting product.

as @VinceRugari perfectly put it last week: other sports ask for funding and they get it, football asks for funding and other sports get it.

the #FIFAWWC has done wonders for all of us, sure, but it's the SPORT that deserves to be rewarded for it, not everyone else.

Kids are straight up gambling using Roblox, not through the game itself but third-party sites where they link their account.

These sites have no licenses, no checks, no regulation and are marketing to children through underage content creators.

LCSPA, Riot, and LCS teams agree on terms to resume 2023 LCS season - talks to continue on unresolved issues

We (@Luongo_Pro, @TomLWrites, myself) were right about the whole @OpTic gambling thing in February.

I wrote about esports journalism, and the creeping feeling that it's no longer about publishing stuff readers wouldn't find out without the journalist's help.

Tic Tac Doh! A hacker has compromised Tic Tac Bow, a mobile game selected for the @Olympics Esports Series to the point where its competitive credibility is already under investigation by the IOC.

@Luongo_Pro You’re much too kind 🙇‍♂️

@Luongo_Pro You know I’m down

@olliering I’ve been absolutely baffled by this calendar ever since they launched it back in 2021 with supplier branding. No possible way to calculate this considering suppliers don’t share numbers (understandably so)

[The Esports Advocate @TEAdvocated]

#ICYMI A Sharpr report reveals that former
@ebet_gg execs and Hersh Family Investments are seeking $7.5M to launch "NextGen Gaming," a new betting venture with @OpTic signing an LOI to be its first esports partner.

BREAKING: The majority of @overwatchleague teams have hired a British law firm to collectively bargain against Activision Blizzard amid growing frustrations around operation costs, lackluster viewership and a distinct lack of a path to profitability.

@BillyStudholme issa good piece tho, cheers for sharing

[Thomas Lace @TomLWrites]

@BillyStudholme Unless you're in a unionised sector/have a CBA, a high performer will still be able to demand compensation that reflects that. If the issue is it's not as high as it would've been without transparency, that's just expecting others to give up their bargaining power for you
