QUOTABLES Q U O T A B L E S “This is a monumental day that establishes Ontario as an international leader in online gaming. After years of anticipation culminating in historic legislation, followed by months of hard work by all stakeholders, we have reached today’s launch of a legal internet gaming market out from under its previous grey market standing.” —iGaming Ontario’s Executive Director Martha Otton after April’s launch of online gaming in the Canadian province “We get many questions about adopting revenue share models, but inNewYorkwe had the highest CPA rates to date . . . Players have five accounts on average and play on three. If we were on revenue share theywould be going through one wallet, but we get CPAs every time we deliver that player to play on one of their accounts.” —Catena Media CEO Michael Daly on the affiliate operator’s philosophy regarding revenue share vs. cost per acquisition models “While the challenge of illegal gambling is not new, the brazen and coordinated manner in which it occurs – both online and in communities – has elevated this problem to a level that requires significant federal attention. We urge the Department to make it a priority to act . . . to protect American customers, crack down on illegal operators and enforce federal regulations.” —President and CEO of the American Gaming Association Bill Miller in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland “Demanding pay slips or bank statements from every customer spending £100 is probably going to be unwelcome, disruptive and disproportionate. But there is a level at which that is appropriate.” —U.K. Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Chris Philip about the potential of affordability checks for gamblers G P W A t i m e s . o r g 10
