Bioconferences.com Organises First Major Internet Gaming Conference In The Caribbean
The Fourth Annual
International Symposium on Internet Gambling Law and Management
to be held November 26-28 at the Royal Antiguan Hotel in St. Johns,
Antigua, is drawing participants from around the world. Participants
hail from all parts of the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and the Pacific,
North America, South America and Africa - the Virgin Islands,
the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Dominica, Belize, Curacao, Peru,
the United Kingdom, Germany, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Austria, France, Ireland, Portugal, Australia, Canada, the U.S.,
Malta, Gibraltar, the Seychelle Islands, Norfolk Island, South
Africa and many more. Meeting attendees
will gather in Antigua, the current Internet Gaming capital of
the world, to discuss Offshore vs. Onshore Internet Gaming: the
Battle Heats Up. With many jurisdictions considering banning or
heavily regulating Internet gaming, more and more Internet gaming
operators have moved offshore to the islands of the Caribbean,
Malta, Gibraltar, Norfolk Island and other locations. Which jurisdictions
offer the best environments for Internet gaming? What are the
pros and cons of various jurisdictions? What's the current situation
and prognosis for Internet gaming in Australia (one of the first
jurisdictions to legalize Internet gaming, only to narrowly beat
back a recent effort to establish a moratorium on Internet gaming)?
How will proposed regulatory and tax changes in Antigua affect
entities operating there? Will Antigua remain the Las Vegas of
Internet gaming or be replaced by other jurisdictions such as
Dominica, Costa Rica, Belize, Malta, Gibraltar, Norfolk Island?
Speakers include
Joseph M. Kelly, SUNY College at Buffalo; Tony Coles, Partner,
Jeffrey Green Russell, London; Marc Falcone, Bear Stearns; Gary
Collins, Director of Gaming Operations, Antigua; Michael Tobin,
Mohawk Internet Technologies, Quebec, Canada; John Walsh of Brannagh,
