steady, gradual expansion which should gain pace as the country’s laws swing into line with international regulatory developments. One area which has become the new normal around the world is the introduction and strengthening of personal data protection and we hear from colleagues in India on this topic. The BRIC acronym metamorphosed from an Investment Banker’s shorthand to a powerful economic grouping of nations adding new members along the way. One of the first, in 2010, was South Africa. Since then, sub-Saharan Africa has been one of the fastest growing regions for gaming worldwide. South Africa has hosted gambling conferences, notably one by IAGR, and last year Botswana was the host as IAGR held its annual meeting in Gaborone. The event highlighted the growth potential of the massive continent, as we report in these pages. We feature many other reports, too in this issue. From colleagues covering gaming related AI aspects to an AML revamp in Argentina. Another packed issue that I heartily recommend to you all!
