Jan Urbanec – CEO of Endorphina at Prague Gaming Summit 2020

Creating a place that is perfect for players both in terms of entertainment and in safe handling their personal data and payment information is crucial for the modern world full of social media and interconnected accounts. That’s why such important subjects as player’s personal data protection, the regulation of social media, anti-money laundering aspects and more will be discussed at the fourth edition of Prague Gaming Summit 2020 taking place on March 6th.
Jan Urbanec, the CEO of Endorphina, will be participating in the panel session “Gambling and Casino Games via Social Media and Online Technologies.” The speaker will talk about social media’s impact on the iGaming industry, including the privacy and personal data of players, the regulation of real money and payment solution integrations and AML. “I am looking forward to discussing new generation topics in our industry such as the role of social media and new online technologies, with a group of likely-minded professionals,” shares Jan.
In the world of social media, the risks of iGaming companies are increasing rapidly. Especially when it comes to storing personal data online and providing players with privacy protection as well as securing payment solutions that are integrated on social media. Companies should make sure that they are creating a system that is compliant with high security standards. All these lead to the understanding that certain regulations should be considered and implemented.
One of the hottest topics these days in the iGaming industry is personal data protection. All online accounts will invariably contain a variety of personal details, as it is almost impossible to start playing without having completed the registration process. By collecting all of this extensive identity details and validating them against criminal databases, online casinos and gaming platforms can build a compliance program that can help them comply with local and global regulatory obligations as well as protect their business from any monetary loss.
“At the same time, players must be aware that according to GDPR, their data is portable, which means that once completing the registration form, they may request their data to be transferred to another operator,” Endorphina CEO points out. Thus, it makes the situation a win-win for the players. The casinos have to work harder on the rewards programs to keep their players satisfied while the players are in full control of their personal data, knowing that they won’t be targeted by the third parties.
But in the rise of social casinos which you can play online with your friends even on Facebook, would all the described methods be enough to prevent personal data from leaking?
Come and join Jan at Europe’s leading event, dedicated to the iGaming industry, and share your thoughts on the role of social media and new online technologies.
