Rosalind Wade<\/strong> (CEO, WinnaMedia) will explore contrasting jurisdictions, from the rise of alternative betting in India to Macau\u2019s entrenched land-based sector, while also assessing which countries are most primed for investment and market entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIndia\u2019s Regulatory Roadmap: The Next Decade for Gaming will shine a spotlight on the country\u2019s complex state-by-state framework and the legal divide between games of skill and games of chance, which has created a unique environment: fantasy sports, lottery, and horse racing have flourished, while online gaming and traditional sports betting remain largely restricted. Bringing together Ranjana Adhikari<\/strong> (partner, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co Advocates & Solicitors), Anton Kaszubowski<\/strong> (managing director, SBC Advisory), and Japneet Singh Sethi<\/strong> (chief growth officer \u2013 South Asia, igaming NDA), the panel will explore whether the industry is moving toward meaningful regulation or if the grey market will continue to dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe panel Philippines: Life after POGOs will bring together Dominique Laconico<\/strong> (president & CEO, MegaBet+ & Scorebet), Keith McDonnell<\/strong> (director, KMI Group), Joe Pisano<\/strong> (CEO, Jade Gaming), and Marie Antonette \u201cTonet\u201d Quiogue<\/strong> (principal, Arden Consult) to examine the country\u2019s shift from offshore gaming operators (POGOs) to the newly introduced PIGOs. The discussion will explore whether this transition makes the Philippines Asia\u2019s first truly regulated market, the continuing role of PAGCOR, the fate of overseas populations once served by POGOs and the lessons other Asian jurisdictions can draw from this model. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe SBC Summit 2025 agenda also includes the Global Markets stage, which will provide a focused look at the world\u2019s most profitable sports betting and igaming markets. Over the course of three days, delegates will gain insights into strategies for market entry and expansion in Latin America & Brazil, Western Europe and North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
