Is the "Gold Standard" of gaming regulation driving VIPs to the gray market?

Alex Limesand joins Harpinion to break down the growing divide between global policy and operational reality. With 18 years at giants like Caesars, BetMGM, and Entain, Alex explains why the push for total oversight is unintentionally fueling the rise of unregulated crypto and gray market platforms.

In this episode, we deconstruct the shift from the Las Vegas Strip to the complex digital landscape of Europe. Alex exposes the friction that occurs when bureaucratic "red tape" meets the high stakes world of VIP gaming, putting the industry's most valuable players at risk.
