Europe is probably the world leader in iGaming. In spite of the constant regulatory battles, the biggest online gambling and sports betting operators have all started in Europe. Many European nations also feature amongst the top markets in the world in terms of GGR spend, such as France, Germany, Italy and the UK. The United Kingdom is in fact one of the world’s top gambling markets and has been for years. Sports betting and casino gambling habits are widely spread and part of daily culture in such markets.
Placing a bet is like grabbing a coffee in certain markets and thus an emphasis on Responsible Gambling should stop being an afterthought. At the same time, overregulation is not the answer; punters and bettors have the right to place their bets and spins where and how they deem fit. After all, online sports betting and gambling is a form of entertainment.
iGaming events are available across all European countries, including some of the world’s largest iGaming tradeshows and conferences: ICE Barcelona (previously ICE London) in January, SBC Lisbon in September and SiGMA Rome in November (previously SiGMA Malta). In addition to these key expos, Europe is home to the leading iGaming hubs of the world such as Malta, Gibraltar and now, Barcelona.
Malta, without any doubt, is the undisputed “Silicon Valley” of the online betting and gambling industry. In other words, be sure to keep an eye out for events in these cities and countries – great iGaming side events are always happening there.
Currently one of the top, large scale, iGaming trade shows attracting a global audience, and hosted in the wonderful city of Lisbon, do not miss it!
A classic of the iGaming industry, SiGMA Malta, has now been rebranded SiGMA Euro Med and moved to September.
A new concept thats seeks to blend sit down 'boring' conferences with 'fun' sports tournaments. Well the boring part depends on the speakers and these the team at CourtSide has gathered some nice speakers, the fun side, depends on who attends so we cannot attest to such. Overall the idea behind, seeing from the various talks is pretty interesting because it is focusing on the merging of fintech and iGaming, something that is extremely relevant and possibly a 'hot topic' in many regulated markets. The rise of fintech (in part fueled by crypto) is possibly the engine behind all this.
