Dr Eyal is joined by a big name from the industry this week, Alex Tomic - Founder of Alea, to discuss the shame in iGaming.

About this Episode:

Why do we say the iGaming industry instead of the gambling industry? In this episode, we unpack the taboo surrounding iGaming. From the professional perspective of those working within the sector to the societal attitudes shaping player behaviour, we unlock why gambling continues to carry shame and what that means for operators, employees and players alike. We’ll look to explore the origins of internalized shame, industry perception and strategies to break the taboo and foster a more honest and inclusive conversation around iGaming.
