SPEAKER

WORKING IN MALTA

TRACK SPONSOR

The igaming sector continues to welcome a steady stream of new entrants while even the largest content producers have cranked up production schedules. As a result, there are more games than ever. But how is the industry meeting these resourcing demands? Can igaming attract specialists from other sectors and, if so, how? What are the challenges of creating new games within the tightly knit Malta gaming community and how can they be met? Is the sector doing enough to attract and nurture talent?

DESTINATION MALTA: COVID UPDATE

How is Malta going to recover from the global coronavirus lockdown and what will its legacy be for the island? What are sector stakeholders doing to attract talent to the jurisdiction - and what is life like for those expats and residents working in the igaming community in Malta? Where can they get tax advice and support generally? How can workers avoid becoming another statistic in a revolving- door employment market?

MODERATOR

Esports has been the subject of much chatter for a number of years now within iGaming. However, in the last few months we have seen this ‘unpopular kid’s’ meteoric rise to the forefront of leaders across the industry. While sports could not continue due to COVID-19, esports excelled, though where does the story lead from here? Will innovation in esports markets, platforms and initiatives continue to grow? Will it be key for ensuring LTV and acquisitions as the world slowly returns to normal?

What influence do regulators have over workplace culture, if any? Are they interested in the path to compliant operation, or just the outcomes? What can igaming companies gain from establishing a well defined workplace culture? What is the sector doing to attract and retain expat employees and can they do more? How can Malta avoid developing a ‘revolving-door’ culture in which skilled employees are ever-more willing to move on in search of better pay or perks or both?

Is the gaming workforce up to date on regulation and compliance issues? Is there an over-reliance on third-party specialists to parachute in and save the day? Should operators be better at in-house compliance? If so, how does the sector recruit, train and retain the skill sets necessary for running a compliant gaming business in 2020?

SPEAKERS

Sarah Yorston, Head of HR - Malta, LeoVegas Maris Catania, Head of RG and Research, Kindred Group

REPUTATION MANAGEMENT FOR THE IGAMING SECTOR

The COVID-19 crisis has once again thrown a spotlight on igaming, with many jurisdictions and regulators considering or enacting additional restrictions on operators in acknowledgment of the fact that much of the player base was or remains isolated at home. Despite functioning to high standards of compliance, the sector continues to endure some pretty bad press - reputation management is more than a marketing function, it is at the very core of the modern igaming business.

LOTTERY: THE TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE

How are state lotteries evolving online - can they compete with the private sector casino and lottery offerings? How does lottery player behaviour differ from casino and does the instant gratification culture of online casino make cross-selling into a ‘slower’ gaming experience impossible? And what role does technology play? Will continuing regulatory changes in markets like the UK mean that only the more established lottery operators survive?
