The iGaming Super Show 2011 will be held in Dublin, Ireland from the 24th of May to the 26th. This event comes after the great success that was the inaugural show in Prague. This gala will be hosted by the iGaming Business and iGB Affiliate publishers, both of which have been some of the most trustworthy online gaming sources for the past eight years. Affiliates and operators will be in attendance, as well as vendors, regulators, and even the media. Discussion panels will address several topics, but the flagship will be the new wave of marketing on the Internet. With over one hundred exhibits and free attendance, this is sure to be the gaming event of the year.
This year’s iGaming Super Show has two different sets of discussions. In the first block, industry leaders will talk about acquisition and advertising. News sources anticipate these giants addressing the apparent dichotomy between player attainment and player retention. Members of this discussion panel will offer new strategies that should remove this problem from the big equation. The effective use of social media and search engine optimization is expected to be a big conversation starter, as well.
In the second discussion, panellists will discuss legal matters in the world of online gaming. With the recent seizure of PokerStars, FullTilt, and AbsolutePoker on April 15th by the United States Department of Justice, will be a leading topic. Commentary by legal experts regarding online gambling legislation in the EU, Ireland, and Canada will also be provided. The growing popularity of land-based casinos emerging online will also be discussed.
The iGaming Super Show is definitely one star-studded event. Industry bigwigs will be in full attendance. Most sponsors of the event are affiliate programs, such as Casino Blasters (which advertises Golden Palace), Bodog Affiliates, and Euro Partners (which advertises Casino Tropez). Regulation representatives from Alderney, software provider representatives from Microgaming, and several others will also be in attendance. Payment processing companies are also going to be present, with members from Paysafecard, Entropay, Neteller, and Skrill, the upcoming rebranding of Moneybookers.
Neteller in particular wants its merchants and patrons to know that they will be at Dublin during this exciting event. Visitors can expect to hear a speech or two regarding changes in their affiliate program. The company is letting affiliates in on a special conversation where they can learn more about the new tier structure and hassle-free payments. This will allow affiliates to get two commissions for every conversion by promoting both online casino brands and Neteller as a payment solution.
Of course, there will be plenty of fun in the midst of all this business. With several parties, including Calvin Ayre’s 50th Birthday Bash, the iGaming Super Show 2011 is certain to be an entertaining and industry-changing success.
