Topic of the Conference: Understanding the new generations needs

Description: For the last couple of years the iGaming industry has been struggling to attract new young customers. With these millennial generations rapidly representing half of our market, the struggle is becoming a critical issue. The real question is, what do they expect from us?

  • Does iGaming really need to be more social? Why?
  • Can ”social” work without ”skill”?
  • Could products such as DFS, eSports, monetised video games and VR fit the needs of millennials?

Job title: General Director

Topic of the Conference: Local gambling versus gambling globalization

Description: In the matter of online gambling, the turn of the century is a good starting point. Internet gambling enjoyed a fast rise from the start of the 21st century. The disconcerting thing is the volatility of the online gambling world. The current policy is found wanting, both in strictly economic terms and in regulatory terms. A policy for online gambling must be realistic, local and transnational, and must serve citizens and society. A regulator, working at arm’s length from the government, is in a position to unite the local forces meanwhile integrating transnational gambling features. An attractive gambling sector needs a regulator that looks beyond monitoring licensed operators. The market structure development and the appropriate balance between user experience, brand values and business models of all operators remains important, alongside investments into prevention and counselling of problem behavior.

Company name : Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates

Job title : Partner

Topic of the Conference : To be or not to be an EU Operator: the Legal iGaming Landscape and 2018 Challenges

Description :  The EU legal landscape in the context of iGaming is constantly changing. The last 10 years have seen essential changes with a radical shift from: the imposition of prohibitive rules on the advent of online gaming within specific territories on the one hand, to a wave of jurisdictions seeking to regularise the provision of igaming services within their shores, on the other.

Whether set-up in the EU or otherwise, operators are constantly affected by these changes especially when their services are offered to EU consumers.  Being aware of the legal landscape, the advantages and the pitfalls is of utmost importance.

During the conference, Dr Zammit shall present the different considerations that must be made by prospective/operators seeking to establish or expand an existing business. Drawing from the experience of leaders in the iGaming market, the presentation shall provide practical insights in setting up and/or sustaining an operation in a regulated market. The regulatory advantages, pitfalls and prospective legal challenges that operators should keep in perspective in 2018 will also be discussed.
