OUTSOURCING OR GOING IT ALONE: WHAT’S THE RIGHT MODEL? The Philippines’ integrated resorts operators are taking the opportunity to diversify their offering by going online, but there are many different ways to do so. Some prefer to do it all in-house, while others utilize an external vendor or partner to manage their online platform for them. This session explores the pros and cons of each with tangible lessons from those in the thick of the action. |

FUTURE-PROOFING THE INDUSTRY Asia’s regulated online gaming industry, while still immature, is in a period of growth with the Philippines and New Zealand among the leading jurisdictions in this regard. But ensuring the long-term health of the industry will always be more important than short-term gain. This session looks at how operators and suppliers are developing a sustainable industry, and what more work needs to be done. |
