A few months after it held an e-gaming event, accountancy firm KPMG has published a full report on it.

The 10th anniversary Isle of Man E-gaming summit was held last October at the Comis Hotel in Mount Murray.

The summit, which was marketed under the slogan ’Raising Standards Together’, attracted around 300 delegates, all drawn to hear some of the biggest names in the sector as they reviewed the issues, challenges and opportunities the e-haming industry has met in the past and faces in the future.

The report, downloadable for free from the KPMG Isle of Man website, contains transcripts of sessions from the day covering key presentations and the popular panel discussions where industry experts gave their thoughts on topics including regulation, collaboration and customer protection.

Held the day after the announcement of the potential merger of The Stars Group (owners of PokerStars) with Flutter, there was a lot of interest in particular in mergers and acquisitions activity and the continuing consolidation of the industry, as well as reflection on reputational issues including the often negative coverage of online gambling in the press.

There were also sessions on responsible gambling, the use of technology for good and observations on how the next 10 years could shape up for businesses and their customers.

Publication of the report is sponsored by Continent 8 Technologies, which has supported the eGaming Summits since their inception in 2010.

Managing director Michael Tobin said: ’KPMG’s e-gaming summits create a space for everyone to debate critical issues and developments as they happen, as well as sharing knowledge and learnings for the greater good of the sector.’

Russell Kelly, senior partner at KPMG Isle of Man, added: ’Once again the Isle of Man e-gaming summit report provides a detailed account of the presentations and panel discussions that took place and will be of interest to anyone involved in e-gaming and the wider professional services industry.

’As Chief Minister Howard Quayle observed in his welcome address, e-gaming and digital industries now account for over 30% of GDP of the Isle of Man so it is essential that there are opportunities to take stock of how the sector is progressing, and what challenges and opportunities lay ahead.

’This summit also gave us a chance to look back over the past 10 years of e-gaming in the Isle of Man, celebrating the achievements that have been made but also setting the scene for the future where innovation and collaboration will be key to success.’
