The gambling and gaming industry is undergoing a turbulent period of change - given the current multitude of legal battles, unclear legislation and a distinct lack of harmonization across the industry, the need for legal clarity is evident.

The very nature of online playing has propelled the gambling industry towards a pan-European culture, and the demand for legal transparency is intensifying. The reactions to the European Commission’s recently publicized Green Paper on Online Gambling in the Internal Market are eagerly anticipated, and should shed some light on whether different national regulatory models can realistically co-exist, or whether now is the time to establish a harmonised EU-wide framework.

However the industry is still playing the guessing game as to whether the Green Paper will be soft law or a real directive. The recent situation with Full Tilt has turned a spotlight on the on-going European debate between regulators over how best to guarantee the safety of player’s deposits. And with ambiguity surrounding issues such as state aid rules and access to markets, Regulators and Stakeholders alike are caught up in a minefield of legal battles.

Add to this the significant amount of revenue to be generated in the sector, with the Spanish market estimated to be worth up to €250m and the Greek grey market at around €210m to €260m, is it any wonder the examination over regulation and gambling at the European level is intensifying?

You know assessing and moving into new markets is not a simple process and costly mistakes can be made if you are not fully prepared on legalisation. Keeping up to speed on numerous challenges like security, consumer protection, payment processing, social responsibility is an essential yet frustrating necessity.

Against a backdrop of uncertainty surrounding the Green Paper and cautious plans for new market entry, the Legal Gaming in Europe conference is perfectly timed to arm your business with the legal know how you need to navigate this constantly shifting landscape.

“This conference is the fastest way to get up to date in the current legal issues affecting European gambling”
Miles Benham, MannBenham
