“I tend to scout out the lawmakers… And they are very frank with me when we talk off the record. And you know, it helps me get a little better sense of what's happening in those states.” ~ Steve Bittenbender
Today’s guest on the Straight to the Point Talking Shop Podcast is Steve Bittenbender, a writer covering legislation and regulation for Gambling.com Group's state-focused sites.
SPONSOR’S MESSAGE - SUBSCRIBE NOW to Zero Latency, the new podcast from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming that provides unparalleled insight into the U.S. online gambling industry through interviews with industry insiders and analysis from EKG experts.
Steve and I discuss his path to covering the gambling industry, the hiccups preventing states from legalizing online casinos and mobile sports betting, the “indicators” we look for to determining contenders and pretenders, and a look ahead to 2025 and which states each of us believes to be the best contenders.
We also discuss Steve “stumbling upon” the SAFE Bet Act by keeping his ear to the ground—the SAFE Bet Act has, of course, become a major industry story. Listen to discover why I consider Steve a must-follow for gambling industry news.
