From Lisbon to New York: Paul Burns on Global Gaming Trends

• The mini-flurry of fines recently imposed by FINTRAC against CNE Casino, BCLC and SIGA, and the need for anti-money laundering laws to be updated in the true north strong and free to better oversee the current gambling industry landscape.
• More on the Canadian Gaming Association’s response to a recent op-ed in the Canadian Medical Association Journal about sports betting advertising and youth.
• The CGA’s head honcho also provided some thoughts around his conversation with iGaming Ontario’s incoming President/CEO Joseph Hillier.
