Conference Vibe

After 15,000 steps, 81 videos, and over 75 minutes of video including 2 livestreams and over 20 fact checks, our coverage of Global Gaming Expo better known as G2E 2025 closes. Registration moved quickly as the nearly 25,000 attendees waited for expo hall to open! While we did not get clearance in writing to record any sessions or keynotes, we were able to get permission to capture Expo Hall. In fact, our favorite quote of the event described expo hall as having ‘some incredibly impressive booths’. See for yourself as you enjoy our walkabout. The usual Venetian eateries were available including the café, the food marketplace and the bistro!

We once again live streamed from on site. On Tuesday requesting those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, and Wednesday to let you know about upcoming events we have scheduled and to introduce all to TBW Advisors LLC, and requesting assistance. Specifically, I requested assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the October 10th broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at G2E 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.
Readers and viewers wishing to experience the entire event are encouraged to view the Conference Whispers: G2E 2025 Playlist in its entirety. The playlist will be sited in the end screen, description, and as a pinned comment of the video edition.

The video edition will conclude with a montage of responses to Question 4 — “What’s the best part about attending G2E live in Vegas?” — capturing the energy and moments that made the event unforgettable.

How can we ensure compliance with evolving regulations?

We took the most frequently asked and most urgent technology questions straight to the Fintech experts gathering at Fintech Meetup 2025. This Whisper Report addresses the question regarding how can we ensure compliance with evolving regulations? As Socure’s Matt Thompson shared, “I don’t think it’s enough in this space to be a passive Observer or responsive or reactionary to regulations, there’s a lot of Evolution right now happening.” Figure 1 shares three actions you can take to conquer evolving regulations.

Stay Engaged

One of the best actions an organization can take to stay on top of regulations is to stay engaged and in touch with the real world. First, real world happenings such as hacks define future regulations. As SecurityMetrics Matt Cowart shared, “QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) is really going to help you understand where you’re sitting at and as they are informed with the evolutions of technology and all the advances that are going on having them connected with real world teams.” Or as Matt Thompson of Socure suggested, “staying engaged with the regulators and the development of the regulations themselves.” If you know what the regulators are working on in draft, you will not be surprised when it becomes law. Keep in mind the reach of the company determines what exact regulators and what specific regulations apply. As OnFido’s Marie Millick shared, “we have a team of subject matter experts that are constantly researching. We also collaborate with the same team that works with interpole around everything around data privacy and identity.”

Structure Solutions for Stability

Many suggest the best way to be prepared for evolving scenarios of all types is to start with a robust and secure foundation. As Onbe’s Tony McGee shared, “our company is fully audited, fully solutioned and architected to protect the data.” This architecture doesn’t act alone but is complimented with strong processes. Tony McGee further explained, “ensuring that we build in the processes to make sure that every step of the way is a compliant one.” Together architecture and processes form a robust foundation. This robust foundation enables Onbe to ensure, “that the consumer understands all the fundamentals of the payout.”

Any clients at this phase should schedule an inquiry to receive guidance. We will set up a plan of inquiries during your journey to give you any guidance we may have or can gather to assist you. The plan should capture milestones including but not limited to strategy reviews, presentation reviews, and even architecture reviews.

Leverage AI and Copilots

Today, we are no longer left with antiquated tools. As Thetaray’s Adam Stuart pointed out, “the traditional rule-based systems you have to know what you’re looking for to build that rule but if you don’t know what you’re looking for and you’re looking for these new patterns and behaviors that people are using you can’t do that with the simple rule base which is why cognitive AI is such an important feature to include.” In other words, in addition to keeping up to date and starting with a solid foundation, the tool itself contributes to identification of potentially troubling patterns. Interface.ai’s Connor Tullilus draws us a picture of what this is like in the real world. “To be able in real time have a co-pilot AI assistant sitting behind the scenes to assist them in the day-to-day operations. One in real time being able to update your policies procedures while (two) being able to (use) the AI assistant hooking up with your current knowledge bases your share.”
