Editorial
the state (notably, revenues), the customer (notably, consumer protection and choice) as well the operator and its B2B relationships (sustainable, profitable business). This pragmatic recipe is able to bring high channelization rates, which in turn keeps consumers in the regulated (national or regional) framework, and it preserves the tax revenues for the state. Finally, the regulatory frontier can not only be measured geographically but also in terms of technology. Digital innovation is a constant driver of growth and opportunity in the gaming industry - and comes with regulatory challenges. One panel during the IMGL London conference dealt with the Metaverse. And Ascanio, Asensi and Kim offer their perspectives on primary legislation on loot boxes in Spain and the Netherlands in the aftermath of the FIFA game judgment. While not reporting on emerging markets, Heidi McNeil Staudenmaier, Marc Dunbar, and Stefan Sluijter offer a tour d’horizon from the Americas analyzing new developments in tribal gaming due to Supreme Court case law; putting the spotlight on the state of Florida where a new regulatory authority emerges; and reporting on Curaçao where new gaming legislation brings amended licensing and supervisory rules. Whilst I have the opportunity, I would like to wrap up my editorial by thanking President Marc Ellinger for his tireless and dedicated leadership of IMGL! Yours sincerely, Simon planzer@planzer-law.com
