Some of the most influential industry specialists discussed the <\/span><\/span>hot topic<\/span><\/span><\/span> of gambling advertising during a webinar organized by the <\/span><\/span>Eastern European Gaming Summit (EEGS).<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> The event took place on May 10 and gathered B2B and B2C experts interested in regulatory aspects of marketing and advertising in gambling. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The webinar went under the name \u201cGambling advertising in a state of regulatory flux: what does it mean for the gambling brands? State of regulations. Dynamics, impact. What is next?\u201d, <\/span><\/span>h<\/span><\/span><\/span>osted by industry <\/span><\/span>top <\/span><\/span><\/span>experts who unveil<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span><\/span> thought provoking <\/span><\/span>perspective<\/span><\/span><\/span>. During the online discussion, Rossi McKee, Dr. Joerg Hofmann, Dr. Joseph F. Borg, Gemma Boore and James Illingworth all shared their thoughts and observations on the subject. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

James Illingworth, a Vice President of Sales EMEA at GLI Europe and a moderator of the event, kicked the panel off with the question \u201cOn the EU perspective of advertising do we see member states with the cross-border solution policy in the near future <\/span><\/span><\/span>or<\/span><\/span><\/span> are we talking individual <\/span><\/span><\/span>regulations<\/span><\/span><\/span> at the moment?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gemma Boore, Senior Associate with Harris Hagan, gave the UK perspective explaining that since the UK is not part of the EU anymore <\/span><\/span><\/span>c<\/span><\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span><\/span>n<\/span><\/span><\/span>not be expected any kind of regulatory alignment with the measures taken in another jurisdictions but certainly there are trends. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rossi McKee, Founder, CT Gaming and Telematic Interactive Bulgaria AD, Honorary Chairman of AGIB, gave a very clear picture of the gambling dynamics in Bulgaria and helped the listeners understand the impact of the latest regulatory changes and how they will reflect the market. She explained in detail how the Bulgarian operators came together and concluded a memorandum, through which they limited their own advertising activity<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>McKee explained that this happened as a result of a mass spread of gambling advertising and intensive public activities. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the course of the discussion, Dr. Joerg Hofmann, Senior Partner at Melchers Law Firm, talked about the importance of<\/span><\/span> each European country having adequate legislation that ensures that legal and illegal operators can be<\/span><\/span> competitive, and he concluded that currently the German operators are not. He said: \u201cOperators should learn from each other. The first message to be advertised is \u2013 I am a legal operator\u201d and advised them to do some lobbying, provide information, and organize events.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The specialists talked about the best strategies and how the restrictions could work practically in favour of the operators. They answered different questions <\/span><\/span>raised by the attendees<\/span><\/span><\/span>, one of whom wanted to know what happens if a new operator enters a country with a total ban on gambling advertising, and how the company is supposed to promote its products using only legal means. Dr. Joseph F. Borg, Partner, Head of Innovative Technologies Advisory, answered that having a ban on advertising puts the new operator in unfair <\/span><\/span>competition<\/span><\/span><\/span> because he cannot compete with the old ones. At the end, he concluded: \u201cThe regulations are necessary, but we should find balanced ones that do not harm the business\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The participants discussed very important subtopics like affiliates, trends, escalations of restrictions and possible directions and future challenges in terms of advertising law. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
