It’s that special time of the year again when MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit brings together industry shareholders and government officials from the Baltic and Scandinavian region. This year, the summit is taking place in Tallinn, Estonia on August 6th, 2020. We can look forward to active discussions wrapped around topics such as classic sports betting, cross promotions, the Scandinavian gaming industry as a whole, and more. In 2020, the aim of the summit is to bring start-up operators to the stage and also continue the panel discussion style with at least one panelist being an operator from the market vs. gambling authority and controlling authority discussing issues and changes in the market.

At the discussion panel, there will be a gathering of notable experts from the industry, including Jan Urbanec, CEO of Endorphina, and Jakub Kolomicenko, Head of Legal also at Endorphina, amongst many others. During the discussion, Jan will be participating in the discussion about Cross Promotions, Betting, Game Variety and More, while Jakub will present his perspective and moderate the panel on the topic of the Scandinavian gambling industry and updates from Germany.

The Swedish gambling market has been messy for some time. Sweden used to have a monopoly gambling market, where there was only state-owned companies or state-controlled companies who were allowed to provide gambling for money. With the digitalisation, the monopoly has been put out of system and Swedish customers are able to gamble via operators who are based outside of Sweden. A new legislation was required to make sure that those who have applied for a license and comply with Swedish regulations will be able to be presented at the Swedish market.

Head of Legal of Endorphina Jakub Kolomicenko shares: “After a long break, I cannot wait to be back in the conference circle. The recent development has been hectic and in the name of COVID-19, the industry has adopted quite a few regulations to protect players. One of the most controversial regulations is in Sweden. And this is exactly what we will be focusing on with my panelist of well-recognised experts.”

The unfortunate cancelation of most sports events had an obvious effect on betting operators, although, the companies that diversified with their product offerings did manage to mitigate losses. It will be interesting to hear different perspectives on this issue and how other operators have been managing this situation.

CEO Endorphina Jan Urbanec shares: “It feels great that we are getting back on the road!
Thanks to Mare Balticum’s event, we can strengthen our current business connections and make news ones. My participation in the panel focuses on the cross promotions of casino games, alongside a team of long-term industry professionals. This will be something that I will definitely deeply enjoy. Looking forward to sharing some inside industry knowledge and absorb some as well.”

As usual, the MARE BALTICUM 2020 summit will provide its attendees with the perfect networking opportunity for everyone in the gambling industry. Sales manager of Endorphina Valeriya Nasypova, who is responsible for the Scandinavian and Baltic markets will also be presented at the Summit. Will you be there to absorb the latest insights and discuss the trending topics of 2020 in person? Mark your calendar for August 6th 2020 in Tallinn, Estonia and meet Endorphina delegates there!

Everyone knows that the iconic American singer Elvis Presley was an extraordinary entertainer, and Elvis Merzļikins takes after his fabled namesake. When he earned the first shutout of his NHL career in Las Vegas, he did so with thrilled fans chanting his name. Merzļikins was named after Elvis Presley, of whom his father was a great fan. People worldwide love the 30-year-old goalkeeper’s personality and style on ice and off it.

“We are delighted to partner with Elvis to thrill Latvian ice hockey fans. OlyBet has supported ice hockey in Latvia for many years and brought the NHL Stanley Cup to Latvia for the first time and supported the National Team on the way to bronze in last year’s IIHF World Championships. This partnership with Elvis will bring ice hockey fans closer to the top-level of world competitions and sports excitement that only OlyBet delivers,” Corey Plummer, CEO of OlyBet Group, said.

“I am thrilled to embark on this collaboration journey with OlyBet as their brand ambassador. This partnership presents an incredible opportunity for me to connect more with hockey enthusiasts in Latvia. I aim to enhance the experience by engaging with fans at OlyBet events and embracing the spirit of the OlyBet brand. Sports have a remarkable power to unify and foster a sense of belonging. I am confident that, together with OlyBet, we will create unforgettable and dynamic moments for every sports enthusiast in Latvia,” Elvis Merzļikins said.
