iGaming Daily

The new year is upon us but before we take a break to spend some holiday time with the family and ready for 2024, here at iGaming Daily we are going to look back on 2023. The repeal of PASPA celebrated its fifth birthday, IGRA celebrated its 35th birthday, and the online gambling industry in the US continued to grow and develop. 

On today’s episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Americas Editor Jessica Welman, alongside her colleague Senior Journalist Charlie Horner, take a look at the biggest headlines and trends that dominated North America over the past year.
