Right to the Source hits the big 1-0, as Robin Harrison and Ed Birkin recover from iGB L!VE and discuss changes to the Netherlands gaming market and whether re-regulation in the New Zealand gaming market will be a success. 

Once we get through the usual diversions - Ed’s footballing prowess, Christina Aguilera’s first number one single and famous people from New Zealand this time - we get down to the important stuff. 

First up is the Netherlands online gaming market, in the wake of a ban on gambling sponsorship in sports and new player data from the Kansspelautoriteit. This leads into a discussion on lotteries, in particular whether a vertical driven by instant win games can be considered totally distinct from commercial peers. 

And online casino in New Zealand will be regulated, with a bill introduced in the country’s parliament. But considering there’s a monopoly in place for sports betting, is that going to be enough to limit offshore competition?
