The EU Debate – Restricted Openings Vs Monopoly Rule

Session Title: The EU Debate – Restricted Openings Vs Monopoly Rule

Session Description: The European iGaming landscape is providing the industry with much to consider, as it watches Member State after Member State introduce new national licensing regimes allowing restricted access to their domestic gaming markets foreign operators.  However, the patchwork environment is still littered with market shut outs, such as the monopoly regimes in Sweden, Norway and Portugal.  Join our panel to discuss what we have learnt from the market openings in France and Italy, what we can expect from emerging regions such as Spain, Denmark and Belgium and also, how the monopolies are faring in their non-competitive regimes.
