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.
