EP625: Player protection North America
How can operators grow in the American continent while building lasting trust with regulators? In conversation at SiGMA North America in Mexico City, Cristhian Gómez Villa, Managing Director for Emerging Markets at Betsson, outlines the regulator's three missions, protecting users, collecting tax and growing the industry, and why dialogue between regulators, operators and technology suppliers produces better rules. He explains how Betsson applies its highest global standards even where local law does not demand them, why a level playing field on age verification matters for everyone, and how AI and biometrics could deepen KYC, detect fake profiles and flag problem-gambling patterns before registration.
