In the this episode of The Invisible Addiction podcast, I speak with Richard Flint, non-executive board member at Flutter PLC and the former CEO of SkyBet.    

Richard discusses the current landscape of the gambling industry and uncovers his time at SkyBet between 2007-2018.  

In particular, I wanted to find out his experience of problem gamblers/problem gambling and hear what changes he would like to see introduced to make gambling safer in the future.  

There’s a wide range of topics covered which include: hearing how Richard started at SkyBet, a little bit about my gambling addiction story, football in-play betting, online casinos (SkyVegas), horse racing, ethics, legislation, regulation, advertising and sponsorships, ‘responsible’ gambling rhetoric, stake limits, and VIP schemes.    

It’s an open and frank exchange and is a podcast I know will be of interest to many of us.  

I’m hugely excited to share it with you.  

Thanks for listening,  

Alex :)
