CASINOBEATS MALTA MARCH 24-26, 2020
CasinoBeats Summit - never miss a beat
CasinoBeats returns to Malta in March next year. We quiz Stewart Darkin about what visitors and speakers can expect from the sophomore SBC Events’ conference programme
Who has confirmed their attendance?
Making good on our promise to offer an operator-rich networking opportunity like no other, we already have more than 500 attendees confirmed from a wide range of igaming operators, from Malta and beyond.
Stewart Darkin Managing Director, CasinoBeats
CasinoBeats Malta 2020 is taking place between 24-26 th March. What are your expectations for the event?
We expect to have a good time, get some business done and learn something new - which, essentially, is what we want every visitor to take from the event. We are building on what we have learned and done to date in Malta and, we believe, delivering an event that has global relevance while also offering a huge amount of pertinent content and opportunity for the Malta gaming community.
Since we first engaged with the Malta igaming crowd, the response has been phenomenal. From the first moment, the community there has been supportive and welcoming - at operators, suppliers and at the MGA, as well as lawyers and countless other sector professionals.
With our eyes and ears open, and the benefit of extensive event experience within SBC, we hope to deliver an event that Malta gaming community wants to return to again and again.

In addition, hundreds of representatives from suppliers, regulators and other stakeholders are attending in a wide range of capacities, whether as speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, delegates or VIP guests. We anticipate in excess of 1,500 delegates to visit CasinoBeats Malta over the duration of the event. It is also important to note that, as with all our events, there is a focus on getting the right people at the event - the leaders, decision-makers, influencers and those with a close eye on day-to-day casino operations.
Consequently, around 25 per cent of attendees are at CEO/Chairperson/Founder level with a further 20 per cent C-level/senior management, while the majority of the remainder are director/manager level.
What’s the agenda?
Te agenda is spread over three rooms on two days, delivering six main tracks of content. In shaping that content, we have sought to balance our experience from previous events with the sector news agenda and, importantly, with the needs of the local market in Malta.
As a result, we have a track dedicated to slots - Slots 2020 - which addresses in detail many of the issues relating to product development and casino operations that operators and leading suppliers face daily. Tat track will consider
broad topics such as the operator’s role in innovation but also zoom in on issues including gamification and RTP.
A second track entitled Gaming 2020 seeks to spark debate on a range of non-slots gaming issues, including the challenges facing poker, lottery, live, bingo and social gaming sectors.
Te Regulation & Compliance track is an example of content reflecting the local conditions, to some extent. So while there will be an examination of the markets in Sweden and Japan, we will also delve into recent MGA updates and issues such as the local labour market.
Te MGA also has a hand in the PaymentExpert track, which turns the spotlight on a number of payment ‘hot potatoes’, including crypto - with Malta the self-styled ‘blockchain island’, of course - as well as 6AMLD, compliance and ‘instant play’ methodologies.
This will be the second edition of CasinoBeats Malta. Could you tell us a bit more about the history of CasinoBeats?
Te first CasinoBeats Malta took place in June 2019 and that was really in response to what we were hearing from the casino community on the island. Tere are a number of successful igaming events in Malta, such as the established SiGMA of course and the exciting iGaming Next, and we
