The Technology & Innovation and Regulation & Compliance tracks at CasinoBeats Malta Digital will deliver in-depth insights into some of the crucial issues operators, lotteries and affiliates need to address to keep their businesses moving forward.
Both tracks will run over 1 and 2 July, the second and third days of the
premier virtual conference and exhibition for the online casino industry
, which is delivered in association with GamingMalta. The tracks, sponsored by Darwin Interactive and HiPay, will detail some of the technical steps companies can take to gain a competitive advantage and strategies they can adopt to stay on top of the evolving regulatory situation.
The
Operators & Innovation
session, on 1 July, will examine what online casinos can do to differentiate themselves at a time when so many of their rivals offer the same titles, and what prevents more operators from investing in innovation. The panel features

(CEO, Microgame),
Aistė Garnevičienė
(COO, BetGames.TV) and Cristiano Blanco (Head of Gaming, Kindred Group), with

Lottery: The Technology Challenge

Ian Sims

Rob Procter
(Studio Director, SG Digital), with
Alex Cohen

The focus then switches to a key issue for both operators and affiliates with the
Cost-Effective SEO Strategy
session, which will see specialists share the secrets of developing onsite and offsite strategies that work in the highly-competitive casino vertical.
