Awedacity announces Making a Play in the French Online Gambling Market: Part II Gambling Application and Requirements
London – 15 March 2010
Regulatory events company, Awedacity is pleased to announce the second in a series of educational forums about impending change in the French online gambling landscape.
Making a Play in the French Online Gambling Market: Part II Gambling Application and Requirements (www.franceonlineconference.com), 23 April, Le Meridien Etoile, Paris, comes on the cusp of significant regulatory change for the French gambling market.
Awedacity founder, Julie Garvin says that the event comes at a critical time for the industry. “With the World Cup kicking off on June 11, the industry is hedging its bets that the bill will be made into law pre tournament, allowing the French to bet on online Sportsbooks during South Africa 2010. This means that there will be very little time for operators at home or aboard looking to enter into and operate in France, to ensure all their applications and requirements are met to operate in time for the World Cup. This forum will arm them with all the information they require to help fast track the process – essential in this competitive market.”
Thibault Verbiest, Partner at law firm ULYS, is on the panel of experts addressing the event. He said: “The government made the commitment to implement the new legislation in April so that, on the 1st of May, the first applications will be filed up. The objective pursued is to grant the licenses by the World Cup in June. This conference is aimed at helping interested market participants to understand the requirements of the new licensing regime with contributions from the leading experts in France.”
The event brings together regulators and industry though leaders to offer a very informative and practical programme that will cover: requirements necessary to make future applications compliant; ensuring measures implemented on websites are appropriate and meet technical and regulatory standards; implementing systems that meet the future requirements of the Regulatory Authority; an update on financial partnerships and consolidations; and what to expect after the implementation of the new laws.
Ms Garvin says the event is designed to provide a very practical approach to the steps required to enter the market – as well as an essential forum for participants to network with regulators, potential partners and informed advisors.
