The conversation also explores the emerging field of Web3 gaming, the rise of crypto casinos, and the prevalence of problem gambling in Australia. Additionally, Paul delves into the impact of conspiracy theories on gambling psychology and the cognitive biases that affect decision-making in both gambling and crypto trading.
