EDITORIAL
sustaining a well-managed regulated gambling market: creating a licensed market that is attractive to operators and players and tackling the black market, in this order, I should add. Without an attractive market for operators and players, tackling the black market becomes a Sisyphean task. Mr Gruithuizen was refreshingly frank about both aspects as well as sharing his view of the initial hopes for regulated gaming in the Netherlands and how that compares to the current reality. Alongside these insights, this issue brings highly topical articles from three continents. From the blurring of the lines between skill and chance in Canada, to the impact of prediction markets on tribal gaming in the U.S., and the regulatory earthquake that hit the real-money gaming industry in India, as well as several highly relevant contributions from Europe, including a piece on why regulating influencer marketing is more difficult than it first appears. I hope you enjoy this issue of the IMGL Magazine. As a reminder, you are very welcome to contribute to the President’s mission by submitting your high-quality manuscripts to the IMGL Magazine.
