Inside Asian Gaming

MARCH 2018 INSIDE ASIAN GAMING 47 TRADE SHOWS over the course of a season this is a lot of money. “The HKFA is providing the ‘product’ yet sees none of the revenue; that can’t be right. The fact that it is unregulated also means that the sport is much more vulnerable to corruption. I think a good case can be made for legalizing football betting in Hong Kong. It would make it easier to police and could also provide funds which could be used to combat corruption and/ or develop the sport. At the moment we face the worst of both worlds.” Topics to be discussed on Day 1 of this year’s iGA include a closer look at iGaming in the ASEAN region and unlocking sports betting, eSports and DFS opportunities in Asia. Day 2 will focus on marketing solutions as well as innovation, payment solutions, big data, blockchain technology and cybersecurity, while Day 3 will include two in-depth industry workshops on Key Strategies to Successfully Drive Online Traffic and How to Stage and Market eSports Tournaments and Activate the Millennials.
