Thursday – Payments

Friday –  Digital Marketing

Professionals logging on to the conference remotely can benefit from in-depth content covering the entire betting and gaming industry, with expert panels on sports betting, online casino and slots, poker, virtual sports, lotteries, payments, and digital marketing.

One day tickets will cost 49 euro, with all access five day tickets priced at 95 euro.
