The Gambling Business Group (GBG) host the gambling policy team from the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) at the recent ICE London exhibition

 

Peter Hannibal, chief executive of the influential cross industry strategic body the Gambling Business Group (GBG), has thanked members for providing an ‘ultra professional’ shop window on the industry when they helped host the gambling policy team from the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) at the recent ICE London exhibition. Five of the team attended the closing day of ICE London as guests of the Gambling Business Group, participating in a guided tour of the exhibition which took in key features of the ICE show floor.

Expanding on the visit, Peter Hannibal said: “I was delighted to host the gambling policy team and to be able to explain the issues impacting the modern gambling industry. GBG members are drawn from all sectors of the industry which enabled the DCMS party to develop a holistic view of the business as opposed to viewing it exclusively through the prism of just one gambling vertical.”

He continued: “The DCMS representatives covered On-line, Off-line, Responsible Gambling, Brexit and Gambling Policy amongst many other topics. In terms of specifics they wanted an insight to technological developments, the industry’s safer gambling initiatives as well as the emergence of the e-sports phenomenon. GBG Members exhibiting at ICE, including Playtech, Novomatic UK, Regal Leisure, Innovative Technologies Ltd, SG Gaming, Praesepe, Inspired Entertainment, Blueprint Gaming and Reflex Gaming were able to show the DCMS team a wide range of innovations, technological solutions as well as a sharp focus on safer gambling. Members of the party stayed on after the scheduled visits had finished simply to wander around what is undoubtedly the greatest gambling show on earth!

“Finally, I would like to issue a big thank you to both the ICE London organising team led by Kate Chambers and to GBG member companies for representing and portraying the Industry in such a compelling and ultra professional way.”
