The Demo Zone
The Zurich iGaming Affiliate Conference will include a special demo zone where gambling companies will be able to demonstrate new projects and ideas. SmileExpo has said that among the participants in the demo zone there will be attorneys, affiliate program representatives, and marketers.
The demo zone will aim to provide conference delegates with a place where they can work with fellow industry representatives, get legal advice, discover the latest industry trends and innovations, share experience, and find new business partners.
Switzerland’s New Gambling Regime
Switzerland’s new Money Gaming Act took effect on January 1, 2019. The country finally regulated online gambling but adopted significant restrictions in the way digital gambling services should be provided to local gamblers.
The new Swiss gambling law enables existing land-based casino operators to extend their offering online. However, international gambling companies were outlawed in the country.
As mentioned above, the Zurich iGaming Affiliate Conference will be focused namely on the restrictive provisions in the new Money Gaming Act and how these impact the gambling and the iGaming affiliate industries.
