Those who were already registered for the event before the global pandemic broke out must not do any other procedure and are already registered at the virtual summit but with authentic content. The topic of the event will be: is the online casino industry benefiting of betting crisis, given the stop of sporting competitions? Sports betting enthusiasts are spending more time playing virtual casino tables and with all the land-based gaming halls closed, the online casino industry should be benefiting the most. Among the verticals that have seen an increased activity is the online poker industry. While live tournaments are being canceled, the poker players are moving online and resurrecting the online poker industry. But, is this the real case? The panel that will focus on these issues, will be moderated by Andrius Gabnys (Attorney - Gabnys Law Firm), is joined by Beyza Orazova (Head of Sales, iGaming at Dimoco Carrier Billing), Vadim Potapenko (Head of sales at Slotegrator), Dmitry Starostenkov (Ceo at Evenbet Gaming - the leading poker platforms provider), Jan Urbanec (Ceo at Endorphina), Vladimir Malakchi (Chief Business Development Officer at Evoplay Entertainment), and Nadiya Attard (Director of Sales at Relax Gaming). Another panel will cover "the payment industry during Covid-19". Social distancing is keeping people in their homes and with this comes more online spending. The fiat currencies are doing good during this crisis, however, cryptocurrencies are losing their value fast. “We will analyze if there are growths in the transaction volumes and how the spend is increasing during this period but also keeping an eye on cybersecurity”, the organizers explain. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Simon Planzer (Partner at Planzer Law), and will be joined by Simon Dorsen (Director of Gaming at Okto - Gaming Fintech solutions), Vytautas Karalevičius (Co-founder at Bankera), Vasilije Lekovic (Director of Gaming at Trustly), Saulius Racevičius (Ceo at ConnectPay), Olga Golikova (Head of Billing at Parimatch), and Marc Riedi (Director, paysafecard Switzerland, a Paysafe Company). “Will advertising banning still be enforced after Covid-19?” While battling against Covid-19, European countries are spending a huge amount of incomes and once the battle is over, the state budget has to be supplemented. Will legislators consider lifting advertisement bans in order to allow operators and affiliates to relaunch their activities and start running the business, while paying taxes? Compliance experts and lawyers, regulators are going to join this panel discussion, which will be moderated by Dr. Joerg Hofmann (Partner at Melchers Law). The discussion will be joined by Sören Meius (Estonian Ministry of Finance), Morten Ronde (Ceo at Danish Online Gambling Association and Managing Partner at Nordic Gambling), Joe Ewens (Managing Editor of GamblingCompliance at Vixio), Gustaf Hoffstedt (Secretary-General at the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling), and Ivan Liashenko (Chief Marketing Officer at Parimatch).
