3 Prominent Keynote Speakers Give Their Take on Sports Betting at ECGC
The East Coast Gaming Congress & NexGen Gaming Forum stands out among gaming industry conferences this spring by featuring three prominent keynote speakers who are helping to shape the future of gaming and sports betting.
They are:
- New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. Governor Murphy not only signed the enabling
legislation in 2018 but also placed the first legal bets in New Jersey. He has been critical
supporter of his state’s gaming industry. - Bill Miller. Bill is the recently installed President and CEO of the American Gaming
Association, which is the industry’s advocate in Washington, DC. Bill has been an
important voice as sports betting rolls out across the country. - Ted Leonsis. Ted is founder, chairman, majority owner and CEO of Monumental Sports
& Entertainment, which owns and operates the Washington Capitals, Washington
Wizards, Washington Mystics, and Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, DC. He
was an early supporter of sports betting, offering his vision of how it can integrate with
sports.
Over 15 of the top minds at the top companies in the gaming industry discuss sports betting!
Product development will be one of the key drivers of sports betting growth over the next year, and beyond. We can see from early sports-betting metrics that giving the US player options for in-running betting and the ability to cash-out his or her bet is still in its infancy, but how will this develop over the next 12 months? What effect might that trajectory have for revenues – and margins? Should new product development – either entirely new, or adapted from elsewhere – be entirely within the control of the operator, alongside their suppliers? And should regulators have more than just a monitoring role here? Five experts discussed what’s next in the fast-moving sports betting space at the 23 rd annual East Coast Gaming Congress & NexGen Gaming Forum, June 12-13 at Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center in Atlantic City.

Panel:
- Parikshat Khanna, CEO, CG Technology
- Moti Malul, CEO, NeoGames
- Itai Pazner, CEO, 888
- Mor Weizer, CEO, Playtech
