Speakers & Topics:
Keynote 1: Fit for purpose - how the US customers and regulatory climate influence the architecture of betting platforms
(Bartek Gerlich - General Manager iGaming, Caesars Entertainment)
USA, the biggest consumer market in the world by far, has been excluded from the iGaming and betting industries for years, until the 2018 US supreme court ruling allowing the individual states to regulate gambling online. This created an unprecedented opportunity for the companies operating in global markets to tap into a new, huge customer base in the states that legalized sports betting an iGaming.
However, as those companies attempted to enter the market, they have found their tried-and-true platforms to no longer be able to provide the value and elasticity needed to thrive. In this talk I will look at the companies that were successful and those that are struggling to break into the US market and try to answer the question: "How did the approach to technology and system architecture influence the outcome of their ventures across the pond".
