Best iGaming Regulation and Compliance Podcasts for Operators in 2026

The best iGaming regulation and compliance podcasts are iGaming Daily for daily coverage, Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show for player protection, and The Gambling Files for long interviews, but each has a limited scope. Here is what the shows’ feeds showed on 5 Nov 2026:

1. iGaming Daily covers the widest set of regulators, with recent episodes on Brazil, the UK, MiCA and Malta,
2. Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show is about player protection and policy, with the latest episode on Canada,
3. Right to the Source covers tax, the Gambling Commission and deals, but is irregular,
4. Gaming News Canada Show covers Canada only and The Closing Line covers US policy only,
5. The Vixio Regulatory Radar Podcast, a dedicated regulation show, has not published since 11 Dec 2025

None of these will replace a lawyer. This is not legal advice. We cite episode titles as titles, and we have not verified the legal claims inside any of them.

Which shows cover which regulators

Regulation is local. A show that is excellent on the UK may say nothing about Brazil. So pick by market first, then by format.

Our ranking of iGaming podcasts scores the main shows overall. This article looks only at their regulation coverage. If you prefer reading, our guide to regulation news sources lists written options.

UK and Great Britain

iGaming Daily, SBC Media’s weekday show, has had several UK items. Ep. 883 (19 Oct 2026) covers the National Lottery and the Gambling Commission. Ep. 891 (29 Oct 2026) is titled as covering the UK Budget and a 25% machine games duty. That is the publisher’s wording, so check the actual duty and dates with the government or the regulator before you use the number.

Regulation podcasts by region, with what each one covers.

Right to the Source, from iGamingBusiness, has Ep. 40 (24 Jul 2026), on Evolution’s settlement with the Gambling Commission. An episode from 1 Dec 2025 breaks down the Great Britain gambling tax increase. The hosts are Ed Birkin of H2 Gambling Capital and Robin Harrison, content director at Clarion Gaming. The show is data-led, which suits operators who want the money side of regulation.

The Gambling Files has RTFM 214 on UK regulatory clarity (26 Jun 2025) and a chat from 18 Dec 2025 with Vixio’s James Kilsby on the future of gambling compliance. Both are in the back catalogue, so they may be out of date on details. One co-host runs BonusFinder.com, an affiliate business, so remember the commercial angle on affiliate topics.

The UK is a strict market. A national licence is needed there, whatever platform you pick. Our guide to MGA vs Curaçao licences compares two other paths.

EU, Malta and Gibraltar

Europe is a patchwork of national rules, and the best shows treat it that way.

iGaming Daily Ep. 860 (16 Sep 2026) covers why large brands still call Malta home. Ep. 877 (9 Oct 2026) is titled “Regulated Rails: Navigating MiCA & Crypto Payments in iGaming”, which touches the EU crypto rules as they meet payments. Right to the Source Ep. 39 covers the Dutch tax miss, a finance angle on one national market.

The vendor-branded series on NEXT.io’s podcast hub, “Connected with Pragmatic Solutions”, had an episode on 15 Jul 2026 called “Gibraltar’s New Jurisdiction”. It features Steven Caetano of ISOLAS and Nicky Macias of the GBGA. Because a vendor brands the series, take it as an informed industry view, not an independent review.

iGaming Accent, from SBC Eurasia, covers Central and Eastern Europe. Its Episode 10 (21 Oct 2026) features Mikolaj Cymerman, CCO of Entain CEE. Season 2 guests also include the president of Lithuania’s gambling business association, per the feed. The feed says bi-weekly, but 2026 episodes appear closer to monthly.

Brazil and Latin America

Brazil is the market with the most audio coverage in this set.

iGaming Daily Ep. 889 (27 Oct 2026) is about Brazil. Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show had a Brazil episode on 31 Jul 2026 and a black market episode on 10 Jul 2026. Right to the Source Ep. 14 (7 Aug 2025) is titled “Illegal gaming in Brazil and sizing crypto gambling”. The Gambling Files has Brazil chats in its archive too.

There are also Colombia items on iGaming Daily. Beyond these two countries, we did not find a verified show that covers Latin American regulators in a dedicated way. If you need another Latin American market, expect to rely on written sources and local counsel.

Some Brazil episode titles carry strong political claims. We do not repeat them here, because we cannot verify them. For payment questions that come with the Brazilian market, our weekly brief on Brazil bank liability and payment methods is a better starting point.

United States

The US is state by state, plus federal debate over prediction markets.

The Closing Line Podcast, by Dustin Gouker, is the main US policy show we verified. It runs roughly every two weeks, at about 21 minutes. Ep. 57 (16 Aug 2026) features Holland & Knight attorney Joshua Kirschner on prediction markets and gambling. Ep. 58 (25 Aug 2026) features former NCLGS president Shawn Fluharty, and Ep. 60 (27 Sep 2026) features attorney Peter Hammon.

Prediction markets are a live topic. Cleary Gottlieb, a law firm, has a series on prediction market regulation, but it has only two episodes (14 Jul and 3 Nov 2026). The latest is on market integrity and manipulation. Too few episodes to rate, but worth a look if you follow the topic.

Troutman Pepper Locke’s Regulatory Oversight Podcast was active on 30 Oct 2026. It covers state attorney general and federal oversight in general, not gambling only, so many episodes will not apply.

Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show interviewed Fanatics VP Brandt Iden on 26 Jun 2026 about sports betting policy. For a sports-first list, see our guide to sports betting industry podcasts.

Canada

Canada has two verified sources, and one is narrow by design.

The Gaming News Canada Show publishes weekly, with editor-in-chief Steve McAllister. Its 27 Oct 2026 episode is about questions over unreleased iGaming Ontario research. It covers Canada only, so it is no help for other markets.

Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show published its latest episode on 4 Nov 2026, on Quebec, Alberta and liquidity sharing. Lycka, who the feed says has worked on player protection through Entain, adds that his views are personal. The show is irregular, roughly monthly with gaps, and it has little on payments, platforms or marketing.

Between the two, you get a news view and a policy view of the provincial markets. Neither is a legal guide.

Shows to treat with care

Not every show here is a full regulation source. Keep these limits in mind.

• The Vixio Regulatory Radar Podcast describes itself as bringing together experts in regulation, law and compliance. Its last episode was Episode 113 on UK gambling tax hikes (11 Dec 2025). The back catalogue may help, but it is inactive for new rules.
• Right to the Source is irregular. There was a gap between 6 Aug and 16 Oct 2026, even though the feed description says weekly.
• Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show and iGaming Daily are published by SBC Media, which also runs events.
• The Gambling Files has one co-host who is CEO of BonusFinder.com.
• The NEXT.io Gibraltar episode sits in a vendor-branded series.

The Legacy Makers weekly iGaming brief on YouTube lists regulation among its topics, but it is an affiliated listing (this site’s founder is a guest) and had only three episodes by 1 Nov 2026. We do not rank it above the others.

Last, do not treat a podcast as a compliance programme. Use it to learn the questions, then take your answers from the regulator’s own pages and a lawyer. Our launch guide and the iGaming hub set out the wider steps, and the white label casino ranking shows platforms that handle some checks for you.

FAQ

What is the best podcast on iGaming regulation?

For breadth, iGaming Daily, which publishes every weekday, has recent episodes on Brazil, the UK, MiCA and Malta. For player protection policy, try Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show. For long interviews, The Gambling Files. No single show covers every regulator.

Is the Vixio Regulatory Radar Podcast still active?

No new episodes have appeared since Episode 113 on 11 Dec 2025, as of 5 Nov 2026. The show describes itself as bringing together experts in regulation, law and compliance. The back catalogue may still help with background, but not with current rule changes.

Which podcast covers Canada?

The Gaming News Canada Show publishes weekly and covers Canada only. Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show released an episode on Quebec, Alberta and liquidity sharing on 4 Nov 2026. Together they give a news view and a policy view of the provincial markets.

Can I rely on episode titles for legal facts?

No. Titles are the publisher’s wording and may contain claims, such as a tax rate or a legal change. Use a title to decide what to listen to, then check the fact in the regulator’s or government’s own publication, or with a lawyer.

Is there a podcast on US prediction market regulation?

Yes, in part. The Closing Line Podcast Ep. 57 has a Holland & Knight attorney on prediction markets and gambling. Cleary Gottlieb’s law-firm series has two episodes (14 Jul and 3 Nov 2026). It is a new topic, so coverage is thin.
