Updates from @icegamingglobal Barcelona🌍
Yesterday, our CEO Grainne Hurst joined Maarten Haijer (@EUgambling), Wes Himes (Intrepid Partners) and Peter Emolemo Kesitilwe (AiA) on the panel ‘Controlling the Cost of Compliance’, discussing how regulation can protect consumers, safeguard integrity and support public revenues - without driving activity into the unregulated market.
Grainne called for simplification in mature markets, focusing regulation on what works, removing duplication and reducing unnecessary friction for consumers.
