iGaming Super Show will feature Yank
Monday, January 24th, 2011In an interesting turn of events the iGaming Super Show in Europe will feature a guest speaker from a country where online poker and other games are still illegal. It has been confirmed that Frank J. Fahrenkopf, the current President of the American Gaming Association will be the keynote speaker at the convention in Dublin in May.
The interesting aspect here is that at a time when his home country has a Congress full of Republicans who are thought to be anti-online gambling, Fahrenkopf is widely regarded as one of the biggest proponents of online gambling in the United States. To that end, industry insiders are expecting a speech from him that will at least touch on the subjects of the status of Internet online gambling in his homeland.
He is also expected to speak on the online gambling market and how it will be affected globally when America decides to legalize the past time and enter the global community. The American Gaming Association has softened its position concerning online gambling as technology has advanced and they can be assured now that restrictions can be put in place to limit the amount of money that people have at their disposal to bet.
