Strive Notes

The British Computer Society Isle of Man (BCS) held an event this month to look into the future of egaming in the Island.

It took the form of a panel discussion with four industry experts fielding questions from an audience of around 40 BCS members and other interested people.

The panel included John Spellman, CEO of the Manx eGaming Association (MeGA); Rick Liotta, financial consultant to Poker Stars; Miles Benham, a solicitor who specialises in the online gambling industry; and Chris Gledhill, managing director of PDMS, a software development company with a solid track record in building successful egaming websites.

Discussion was kicked off by Mr Spellman who gave a brief history of the egaming industry in the the Isle of Man. Each panel member started off with a brief explanation of his role in the industry then the floor was opened to questions. A lively discussion ensued with more than 20 questions being answered over the one and half hour session.
