This monthly podcast feature, fronted by SBC’s Media Manager, Charlie Horner, and iGP’s CEO, Jovana Popovic Canaki, will tackle some of the biggest topics facing operators within the iGaming space and answers the key questions that keep the operator community worrying about on a regular basis.

The first episode will see Jovana and Charlie tackle the topic of market dynamics and how to navigate certain hurdles when operating in certain jurisdictions.

The duo discuss the importance of platform selection for operators, emphasising it as a crucial step in bringing a brand's vision to life.The conversation explores how platforms and partners can work together to deliver localised solutions, stressing the importance of a unified approach rather than a client-supplier dynamic.

Jovana and Charlie also delve into the impact of product exclusivity, noting it can both stagnate the market and drive innovation.
