Global iGaming Summit & Expo

To all members of the iGaming community:

As legislators in both Canada and the USA are revisiting online gaming regulations in their countries, IMGL is pleased that Clarion Gaming’s fl agship congress has been reinstated to provide a platform to all stakeholders to voice their interests and join forces in the drive towards creating a regulated online gaming market.

As GIGSE’s Lead Association, IMGL would like to invite its members and all the gaming community to this important event where leading legal experts, politicians and regulators will share important advice on numerous initiatives being proposed in the states of California, Florida, New Jersey, Illinois, Quebec, British Columbia, and on the federal efforts in both Canada and the USA . We are certain that the knowledge shared at the event will offer a clear regulatory roadmap to both commercial and state organizations so that they are ready for the most anticipated decision in the gaming industry – liberalization of the US iGaming marketplace.

With the IMGL spring conference scheduled to take place a week after GIGSE, on 19-21 May, we strongly believe that both events will complement one another, providing in-depth legal advice that will have an important impact on the strategic decisions of the commercial organizations. Those willing to at-tend both events can therefore enjoy substantial discounts and should contact organizers of either conference for details.

We look forward to meeting you in Montreal at GIGSE.

Kind regards,

Tony Coles

GIGSE – an established and reputable brand with nine years of

history

The Global iGaming Summit & Expo, known to the industry as GIGSE, is Clarion Gaming’s fl agship event that served the industry since its early beginnings and attracted 1700+ delegates in its peak year. Organized for nine years and deactivated in 2007 due to UIGEA, GIGSE is now re-established to help the industry get a head start in the emerging North American market and:

• Infl uence the development of a regulated online gaming environment in North America

• Position your company to gain/maintain a leading market share in one of the most lucrative gaming markets, estimated by Goldman Sachs to be worth $12bn

• Leverage the strength of the brand and customer base of your land-based operations in the online space

• Plan the entry strategy into a regulated online gaming market in North America, whether you are an existing online gaming operator, land-based casino, media organization, lottery, horse racing operator or free-to-play game provider

• Develop player protection, geo-location and anti-money laundering standards for a regulated online gaming industry in North America

• Explore partnership and joint venture opportunities between the land-based and online businesses to take advantage of the US potential or act on your global expansion plans

All new GIGSE – bringing the ‘old’ and ‘new’ players together

As the dynamics of the iGaming industry in North America have changed dramatically since 2007 (when GIGSE last took place), GIGSE will welcome new

stakeholders from the land-based industry whose voice and interests are critical for enabling any meaningful progress in the internet gaming legislative debate.

By facilitating networking between North America’s existing gaming industry and international iGaming organizations, GIGSE will provide a unique platform for commercial partnerships that will enable exchange of expertise and expansion

into new markets.

GIGSE’s interactive formats to refl ect interests of all stakeholders

in constructive discussions

Join all of the stakeholders, with their respective agendas, to contribute to the creation of possible regulatory models at GIGSE’s many brainstorming sessions that will allow you to engage with key infl uencers, voice your interests and work together to develop common solutions that will give your organization a competitive edge.

Opinions as to when and how the North American market will be legalized are divided, but no one doubts that it will happen sooner or later, so be at GIGSE to make sure your interests are not omitted.

Two highly-focused pre-GIGSE workshops to give you practical

advice on your operational and marketing challenges

If you are new to the iGaming industry and need a quick introduction to the secrets of operating an online gaming business, GIGSE’s workshops are perfect for you. They will provide you with tailored and practical knowledge on what technologies and platforms you need to implement, how to devise and market your product propositions to consumers and what companies and experts can help you to set up from day one.

If you are part of North America’s huge affi liate network, fi nd out at the SEO/online marketing workshop how legal changes in the USA and Canada can affect you and what are the most effective strategies for player acquisition and conversion.

GIGSE’s superb networking opportunities help you connect with

those who can give you access to the North American iGaming

market

Speed networking, interactive brainstorming sessions, a pre-conference social and the offi cial GIGSE party, long lunches and refreshment breaks will provide an excellent environment for developing partnerships on the ground and globally so that you can expand into new markets and get the necessary expertise to operate in North America.

Visit www.gigse.com for frequent updates and extra educational

content

Keep checking the GIGSE website (www.gigse.com) where you will fi nd updates on panellists, interviews with GIGSE’s keynote speakers, exclusive excerpts and white papers with more information on the emerging iGaming market in the USA and Canada which will help you to maximize your time at GIGSE.

As US governments at both state and federal levels stand ready to regulate internet gambling, it is essential that potential operators offshore learn quickly how legislative and political decisions are made in the US. It is just as important for industry leaders to understand how best to make the case for regulatory structures that support sustainable and profi table business models. I will be speaking at GIGSE 2010 because it provides an opportunity for the industry to discuss optimum approaches to these challenges.

Jim Tabilio, Chairman, Secured American Games, LLC

2010 should be a very big year for online gaming in the United States with efforts moving forward for legalization and regulation in a number of US states. GIGSE gives all of us working at the forefront of this issue an opportunity to share information and best practices.

Expanding into the online gaming space within an

existing regulatory environment and preparing for the

Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment case study keynote: Leveraging the power of land-based casino brands in the global online gaming space

Mitch Garber, CEO, Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment

Exploring political risks, revenue opportunities and learning

needs of legislative bodies – is there enough political will for

change?

Legalizing iGaming is estimated to bring $11.5m in additional revenue in Iowa, while California’s potential for poker, according to Global Betting & Gaming Consultants, is estimated to contribute $650m in tax revenue.

The numbers speak for themselves; therefore both federal and state governments are analyzing the opportunities and risks invoved.• Rationale behind regulating online gambling in the internet

era – innovating the industry, raising more state and federal revenue …

governmental budgets and be acceptable to the industry

The legalization of internet gambling in the United States could be a disaster for tribal government gaming or it could be a wonderful new avenue for tribal economic development.
