Live from the show floor at SBC Summit Americas in Fort Lauderdale, this special edition of iGaming Daily brings together Martyn Elliott, Alex Kane, CEO of Sporttrade, David Aron from Lowenstein Sandler, and Ian McGinley from Sidley Austin to discuss one of the biggest topics in gaming, trading and regulation.
