Returning after the Easter break, this week's SportsPro podcast turns its attention to gambling and how the industry is coping with the challenge of finding new ways to bet on sport despite the near total absence of live action.
[04:21] SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly returns this week to speak with Kindred Group’s UK general manager Neil Banbury on how the gambling sector is adapting during the ongoing pandemic in order to keep offering new markets despite the decimated sporting calendar.
Banbury, who oversees Kindred brands such as 32Red and Unibet, also discusses the renewed importance of esports and virtual sports for betting firms, the importance of responsible gambling in the current climate, and factoring in the return of live sport to the industry's future business modeling.
