EEGEvents has been recently contracted by Halbren Communication Group under the provision of Ukranian Gaming Industry Association to organize Ukrainian Gaming Summit 2017. The event is scheduled to take place on the 17^th of November 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Kiev and promises to bring a clear view on the plans which will regulate the market in 2017.

The seminary type conference is set to become the stage where the most renowned experts from across the world will create workshops and share their ideas about how the Ukrainian government can amend the right methods to attract operators and service providers in a soon to be regulated market.

The Summit will give way for the delegates to network with regulators, gaming experts, operators, software providers and investors.

Zoltan Tundik, Head of Business at EEGMedia/EEGEvents commented: “The key ingredients for a successful and meaningful conference is to gather the industry, the regulators and the legislators in one hall. We are excited about the new mission for which we have been contracted by the local association and we are certainly looking forward to an event, which will shape the future of the Ukrainian gambling market. We look forward to seeing you there and we encourage the operators to attend and give their perspectives about creating a fair and competitive regulatory framework.”

A special report will be presented about the Ukrainian gambling market and about the possible amendment that will take effect in 2018. The Summit will also focus on bringing a wealth of information about regulation, responsible gambling and technology from Eastern European region with world class speakers and regulators sharing their updates and advice.

The event will also feature a special round table discussion with the regulator and government officials in order to facilitate the conversation between the industry and the regulatory framework.

The +100 delegates will get the opportunity to maximize the abundance of information that will be given during the Summit and during the specially designed networking sessions which will enable them to create new contacts while exploring Kiev which is known for its religious architecture, secular monuments and history museums.

The gambling industry in France, un problème historique

Published

7 years ago

December 19, 2017

Zoltan "Hawkie" Tundik

The link between France and gambling always has been strong and could even be described as historic.

The country largely contributed to the development of gambling through time with the creation of inescapable games such as roulette (by the mathematician Blaise Pascal) and the 52 card game which gave birth to Baccarat or Shimmy (also known as Chernay).

As a consequence, it feels natural for gambling to be legal in France. But to settle on this territory, you must have a license from by several organisations:
• for betting activities: Pari Mutuel Hippodrome (PMH) and Pari Mutuel Urbain(PMU);
• for bingo lotteries and sports betting, only the Française des Jeux (FDJ) keeps the monopoly on land base activities.

Some conditions must however be respected if you want to offer gambling activities in France. For example, physical casinos can only be established in seaside and tourist towns (except Paris) and on some cruise ships with the French flag.

Since 2010, online gambling is regulated by the Autorité de Régulation des Jeux en Ligne (ARJEL), which can authorise licenses for club games (until now, only the poker is allowed), sports betting and horse races. Online casino games are forbidden in France.

Fifteen licenses have been issued by the ARJEL so far. This particularly low number of licenses can be explained by high tax rates which can frighten some operators.

However, the market is doing well as the third quarter of 2017 results show: an increase by 23% of the revenues linked to sports betting despite a year without international competition, a 10% growth of horse racing revenues and +5% for poker.

France is a market which needs to be followed especially as online casinos should be authorised very soon. The 2018 Football World Cup, with a French team considered as favorite for this new edition, should also contribute to the sector’s success thanks to high sports betting revenues.

On October 16, 2018, the inaugural European Gaming Congress in Ljubljana is set to host a panel where the state of France will be discussed directly with the regulator. To find out more details about the event make sure you follow our news.
