An engaging workshop exploring the evolving online gambling landscape in Asia and beyond capped off day one of the 2025 ASEAN Gaming Summit in Manila.
In front of an international audience consisting of regulators, operators, and industry experts, gambling licensing specialist Frank Schuengel explained current operating models and the risks and opportunities different licensing frameworks provide.
From listing the most popular grey market jurisdictions and going through their strengths and weaknesses, to covering recent developments in the field of compliance and country specific regulations, the workshop aimed to answer questions and educate the audience about best practices and the dos and don’ts of various approaches.
The risks and benefits of different operating models were examined and the fact that the industry is moving into an ever more strictly regulated direction was highlighted as one of the key aspects everyone working in the sector has to be aware of.
Thanks to the unique nature of the summit, the event allowed experts from across various sectors and countries to freely discuss key topics in an intimate setting. The session culminated in a question and answer session and saw the audience leave with newly found knowledge and ideas, including a blueprint of the ideal grey market regulatory setup according to the combined expertise of everyone in the room.
