🎙️ NEXT.io Spotlight | Amusnet's Thaluana Muscat on Localisation, Trust & Expanding Across Regulated Markets

Recorded at NEXT Summit Valletta, Thaluana Muscat, Lead Sales Manager at Amusnet Gaming, joins us to talk about what it really takes to enter and succeed in regulated and emerging markets — and why a generic, one-size-fits-all approach is the fastest way to fail.
