Prague Gaming Summit: Schedule change for Day 2 and announcing new speakers(Tal Itzhak Ron and Assaf Stieglitz)

Published

on

Monday – 1st of May, 2017 – Prague – The team at EEGEvents, organizers of Prague Gaming Summit have announced the changes in the agenda which reflect on Day 2 of the event which will take place between June 8-9 at Andel’s by Vienna House Prague.

The decision came after a conducted survey which reflected that we are recently witnessing a huge need for data and making the decision about which event to attend involves great pressure and research.

The survey showed that there are numerous conferences organized on a monthly base that you really need to pay attention too and study the agenda/program in full detail to understand why and most important which event to attend.

At EEGMedia/EEGEvents, the team studies the current trends closely before drawing the agenda and choosing the location. Thus, the company decided to bring changes and try to give the best experience one can have while travelling to a remote location and attending a gaming event.

One of the aspects of the events in which EEGMedia/EEGEvents takes pride is that you will only see delegates that are really interested in attending that event and wanting to meet the delegates that attend.

They also have learned from their past experience with events that 95% of the delegates also like to enjoy the scenery of the city in which the conference is organized.

Thus, the decision came to make some changes in the agenda and the team managed to put together a plan in which you will also get the chance to enjoy the scenery Prague has to offer and network in a unique environment.

Beside the careful examination of the current legal framework’s positive and negative aspect, the organizers have set the agenda to also target the Scandinavian and Baltic regions.

The key change is the program for DAY 2 (09.06.2017), where the organizers dropped the panels and moved them to the first day in order to invite all delegates for a walking tour with networking river cruise including lunch.

The Agenda for Day 2 looks the following way:

9:40 AM – Pick up from the hotel and transfer to city center.

Enjoy a pleasant walk through the historic center. Walk along Wenceslas Square, you’ll see Estates Theatre, Old Town Square with its astronomical clock and the famous Paris street.

12:00 PM – Get on the air-conditioned boat, where during the 2-hours long cruise will enjoy buffet style lunch, and you can enjoy the beauty of the City of a Hundred Spires from river level.

2:00 PM – Transfer back to the hotel.

In the recent press releases the organizers have also announced the two new names that will join the “Affiliates in regulated markets” panel which is now scheduled for 2:45 PM (Prague Local Time) on the 8th of June and will discuss the positive and negative aspects of having a 2nd tier license as an affiliate in some regulated markets.

The two speakers are Tal Itzhak Ron (one of the most influential member of International Masters of Gaming Law(IMGL)) and Assaf Stieglitz (Founder and Owner at Odds1x2.com) and you can view their short bio below:

The gambling industry in France, un problème historique

Published

on

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.
