The gaming and gambling industry: Worth $12 billion in 2005 and predicted to reach $15b by the end of this year. Extremely cash-rich, cash-generative. and volatile. 75% of the revenues of operators were wiped out by recent legislation in America.
Right now, Europe the main area of opportunity for operators. Is it more stable than the US was before the legislation? Not really. Recently, EU states have been cracking down on what they view as an unregulated industry. Germany have attacked the sports book network; ISPs from operators were banned in Italy ; and in France two senior executives from Bwin were arrested for infringements. Couple these instances with the removal of gaming from the EU Services Directive and we can see how unstable the industry is right now.
With the whole industry looking to the European market to drive growth and harness competitive advantage, now is the time for operators to ensure that they have a clear and unequivocal understanding of the exact legal situation across Europe .
 Legal Gaming in Europe '07 will be an opportunity for companies involved in
the gaming and gambling industry to get on top of the game; hearing from gaming
and gambling operators such as Betfair, Ladbrokes, 1128.com (formerly ParadiseBet), bwin, and Probability Games Corporation ; and other industry leading
experts such as speakers from The European Commission , European Parliament, Swiss Institute of Comparative Law, Belgian Gaming Commission, Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and IMLP . All discussing the key issues that you need to understand to operate in Europe
.
This is the only place you will hear this information, and the only place you will be able to spend two days discussing and devising strategy with world authorities. In short, you'll come away with a comprehensive understanding of what's happening where. why it's happening.. What this will mean to you. and how you and your business can move forward with confidence to grow. And grow. And grow.This is THE meeting ground for leading gaming and gambling executives to examine the legal landscape in the EU and to establish the strongest commercial solutions possible.
