GiGSE stands for the Global iGaming Summit & Expo that is the major gambling conference devoted to the online gambling market in North America. This event has been held every year since 1999. However after the UIGEA Act had been passed, GiGSE was temporarily cancelled. There were no conferences in 2008 and 2009 due to the lack of interest in the American and Canadian market among the industry leaders. North American market was considered to be unpromising due to the harsh restrictions and regulations imposed there. However, the fact that Global iGaming Summit & Expo finally takes place in Montreal shows that North American gambling market returns to life.
GiGSE is set to take three days this year. It started on May 11 and ends on May 13. The first day of the Global iGaming Summit & Expo will be dedicated to the workshop where all the leading players of online gambling market will participate. Seated at the round table they will be able to discuss and share their opinions on such vital issues as gambling regulation in the United States, a portrait of an average American gambler ( in other words, the main target group of online gambling sites), strategies of promotion of internet casinos and so on. Responsible and safe gambling is also claimed to be one of the main topics discussed. Various brand-new gambling products, services and innovative ideas will be presented and exhibited by the leaders of world gambling industry during this 3-days gambling conference in the Palais des Congress building.
Two last days will be assigned for a conference with numerous sessions held on most acute themes. Regulation of gambling market in North America will probably be the key issue discussed there. Advantages and disadvantages of legalization of internet casinos, alternative gambling legislation and some other questions will be brainstormed during the sessions. By the way, not all the sessions will be American-centered only, some of them will deal with the problems of Canadian and European market as well.
