SPONSORs Sports Gaming Summit

“First Schleswig-Holstein goes it alone, then the E-15 treaty is signed, and finally the Hessian Ministry of the Interior rejects all remaining betting licence applications. Annoyance, uncertainty and a lack of understanding prevails – so what happens now with the licences, new technologies, sponsorship and financing of popular sports? There is an urgent need for discussion. And it is for exactly this reason that the industry will now come together in Berlin.”

This is the content of the SPONSORs Sports Gaming Summit on 31^st March in Berlin in whose context the members of GamingLaw.eu will explicitely discuss the Fantasy League topic.

Quirino, Justin, Santiago and Wulf are covering the panel “The Fantasy League, an international comparison: markets, masses, millions” at 10:35am.
