Description

Social casino gambling has grown into a US $4bn industry. With gambling operators increasingly entering the social casino market, this area remains under legal review. Should adverts for social casino games be covered by gambling regulations? How can regulation support best practice consumer protection? How do social casinos 'self-regulate' and are they governed by social network platforms like Facebook? How do new betting laws affect this sector and is it disrupting traditional casinos? Is there any real impact of the use of virtual currencies? This panel discussion will explore trends, what changes we might expect to see in the coming months, and how they present legal opportunities and challenges.
