Summary
In today's episode of iGaming Daily Host Charlie Horner is joined by special guest Pontus Lindwall CEO of Betsson AB and SBC Editor-at-Large Ted Menmuir as the trio delve into Betsson’s Q1 2026 results, navigating the stark contrast between record B2C customer engagement and the mounting margin pressures of a maturing European market. Tune in to today's episode to find out: How Betsson is managing a significant 47% slump in operating income amid rising global gaming taxes. The primary reasons behind the sharp €40m revenue drop in the B2B segment and the path to recovery. Why Latin America remains the group’s "crown jewel" for growth while Central and Eastern Europe face regulatory headwinds. The strategic logic behind the €65m Rhino Entertainment acquisition and what it means for Betsson’s Canadian ambitions. Whether the gambling industry has officially entered a new era of "commercial maturity" defined by higher costs and tighter regulation.
