Clarion to debut Sports Betting USA conference

News on 8 Jun 2017

Clarion Gaming will launch its inaugural ’Sports Betting USA’ conference in New York City this November.

The conference will offer content specific to the complexities and potential of the relatively untapped US market.

Content will focus on the sports and gaming sectors, the legislative path to the repeal of PASPA; sports integrity misconceptions; data monetization strategies, fan engagement opportunities and new revenue streams for rights holders, along with routes to the regulated market for operators wishing to add this vertical to their offer, Clarion detailed.

“I have been monitoring the evolution of the sports betting discussion in the USA for the last two years waiting for the right moment to offer this conference to the market,” Ewa Bakun, head of content for Clarion Gaming, said. “As this issue has now become a mainstream one, largely due to the effort by the American Gaming Association and the shifting positions of the sports leagues, and as we’re starting to see operators actually invest to prepare for regulated sports betting through products that are legally viable now, I think our November event will see top level participation from both the sports sector and the gaming industry.

“In addition to the exhibitor aspect of the conference, Sports Betting USA will serve as a meeting and educational platform for the sports leagues, team owners and TV networks to learn how regulated sports betting could help plummeting viewership numbers and to address the concerns around sports integrity.

“The event will also bring together gaming operators including land-based casinos, tribes, licensed sports books, both online and land-based from Nevada and the European markets, DFS operators, lawmakers, regulators and suppliers to discuss the path to legislation and routes to market, including interim strategies to create a footprint with sports driven customer now.”
