Retreat 2009

This year’s seventh annual World Online Gambling Law Report Retreat will be held over the summer in the UK. Especially since there are so many different countries and so many varying strategies for dealing with online slots casinos, the industry finds it of utmost importance to meet and discuss the ways that law affects operations, and various ways to work with the different governments.

The success of the online casino industry basically rests on the ability of said industry to gain the support of people involved in the issues, and also on the acceptance of governments at large. Without the support of governmental agencies, there are no licences and protections in place for either the companies operating the online casinos, or the consumers who log on to play. Without legalization and regulation, the online casino industry could very well become a very volatile and sensitive situation, and could also spin out of control very quickly.

This is the major reason that the industry leaders across the world must be on the same page. From operations to business procedures to online slots technology offererings, it is all important to have a clearly defined goal to accomplish every year. So 2009 will focus mostly on gaining the trust and support of law makers across the globe, and educating those who would rather pretend that online casinos don’t exist.

In addition to discussing challenges and opportunities in international law, the Retreat is the perfect opportunity for industry leaders around the world to mingle and network, which establishes a healthy competition between online slots casino operators everywhere.
