Although it is expected to create new opportunities for gaming operators, there are still issues to be resolved, he said.
“There is evidently a disparity between online and offline gaming in critical areas such as taxation and advertising,” he told InterGaming. “This will definitely be the base of debate where the two realities of the gaming industry must converge to survive.”
