Eventus International to host Sports Betting & Gaming India conference in February 2018
Eventus International is hosting the Sports Betting & Gaming India Conference (SBGI) on 27th and 28th February 2018 in Goa, India. The two-day event promises to have a busy conference and engaging schedule as well as an 🥃outstanding panel of indu𝔍stry experts and speakers.
Gambling in India is heavily🍎 restricted and the SGBI panel of experts and speakers will evaluate both the potential and the possible impact of legalized gambling in the country.

Day one of the conference proceedings will see a keynote address delivered by Tim Shepherd, founder of Silver Heritage. The topic of the address is ‘Show me the money: How the global gaming industry is responding to the liberalisation of gambling regulations and how can you capitalise’.
From here, the dialogue will move to the latest developmenꦕts in Indian regulation and the onset of GST in India. The question on everybody’s mind, whether GST will be a game changer in the sports betting and gaming industry in India, will be thoroughly dissected and interrogated.
Two panel discussions will furtheꦚr explore the current legal scenario of gambling in India, as well as the conventional status of lotteries a💛nd more innovative measures for it to grow.
The second day keynote address will be delivered by Christina Thakor – Rankin, Principal Consultant 𓂃at 1710 Gaming. Christina will discuss key growth markets and opportunities in India, including lottery, sports betting, land based, and online gaming, and how to foster further growth. Roland Landers, CEO🦄 of All India Gaming Federation will deliver additional remarks.
