Great Nordic Gambling War [seminar]

An upcoming seminar entitled "The Great Nordic Gambling War" will take place on October 3rd in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Nordic countries find themselves at war about a billion-Euro market. Corporate international gaming and betting companies have started a tough competition with the public gaming monopolies which generate fortunes to sport and other good causes.

The Nordic model is also under attack from various other fronts: EU legislation might put an end to monopolies. Leading national media defy the advertising ban imposed on foreign betting companies. Match fixing threatens the credibility of sport and betting alike.

Nordic Journalist Centre, The Danish Institute for Sports Studies and Play the Game now invites you to an open and comprehensive conference rich on information about the legal, political and historical background for the Great Nordic Gambling War.
