Great to have people that KNOW what they want and what they stand for and NOT be tempted by worldly fame, fortune, wealth..

we have a lot to learn in our consumerism and capitalist society.

Gambling Guidance Published

Gambling Guidance Published

"Convergence between gaming using multi-channel access, particularly broadcast and iTV will be common place, CAP, BCAP codes are key regulation to be observed and followed rather than by-passed!"

CAP and BCAP have launched new guidance for gambling advertisements.  The guidance focuses on three clauses common to the TV, radio and non-broadcast Codes, which state that marketing communications should not: suggest that gambling can provide an escape from personal, professional or educational problems such as loneliness or depression; suggest that solitary gambling is preferable to social gambling; exploit cultural beliefs or traditions about gambling or luck.

True Web2.0 services, not just talking about it, lets do it! Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com, Inaugural Betting & Gaming Technology Workshop Nov08

Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com

This is what is key, I think, I see too many people just talk about what can be done, but doing it at scale but enabling the future is key.

To be honest, there is a lot of wasted resources in the IT field, and one good example is the now burgeoning remote gaming gambling market, where by multi-millions of uk pounds, US$ are spent on developing proprietary platforms, servers and technologies, common APIs are not generally adopted.

Hence, together with Betfair, we are co-founding an invitation only workshop for senior CTOs/IT strategic directors to discuss behind closed door this November about key things that needs to be done for the sector worldwide.

I should have contacted you already, if not, please do get in touch with me.

Single Euro Payments Area [SEPA] & Payment services directive [PSD], Gambit on payment was a great success

Wow, what a fantastic event we had earlier this week at the last Gambit public forum at Cass Business School.

SEPA and PSDs were investigated in depth (yes, some part did go over my head!) but as ever, the conversations were really in depth, frank, and direct.

I personally learnt a lot, and for those that were present, the audience all also enjoyed the
sometimes "heated discussion".

It seems a few actions were created as part of the gathering for the bank, acquirer and the gaming firms to share and be more transparent in the future. Great result!

Please go to official Gambit website to see the full event report in the next week or so.
