Brazil may be on the verge of starting over when it comes to regulated online gambling, but that is not stopping Entain’s SVP for American Regulatory Affairs and Responsible Gambling Martin Lycka from including it on his Christmas wish list. Put on your best Eartha Kitt purr, because Lycka has some other requests from his good pal, Santa Claus:

Santa matey, please get Brazil across the line
Been an awful long time
Santa buddy, so line up the stars all right

Santa chappie, Indiana gaming, too, license in Peru,
A regulatory streak
Santa buddy, so line up the stars all right

Think of all the Zooms I’ve done
All the trips countries up and down
2023 will rock again
If you step up and be my man

Santa pally, a poker liquidity pool
Across the Canadian rule
Santa buddy, so line up the stars all right

Santa chummy, the state I’m quite burning for
Is Texas with all its cowboy betting lore
Santa buddy, so line up the stars all right

Santa matey, fill my days with positive news and investors’ praise
No more gloomy NYT essays
Santa buddy, so line up the stars all right

Come and put us on an RG spree
Just like they’ve done in New Jersey
This is truly the only way
To make us in the long run sustain

Santa chappie, and a final plea
A peaceful Christmas for the industry family
Santa buddy, so line up the stars all rights
Line up the stars all right
Stars, all right
