This was by far the best summit from all four years. There were hundreds in attendance that were eager to learn the ins and outs of the industry in the fields of online betting and online casino gambling. Keynote speakers covered a wide-range of topics including discussions on "What New Gaming Markets Can Learn From Older, Established Ones", "Merging with Tech Gaming (Social and Pay to Play) in Africa and Globally", " Opening Up S.
