LONDON (December 2016) – Day’s programme to include visit to ICE Totally Gaming, international policy seminar, tour of a betting shop, bingo hall and London casino and reception at the Palace of Westminster.

While authorised and regulated at the state level, gambling faces challenges and undergoes developments that transcend national boundaries. To facilitate the exchange on gambling policy and share best practice from around the world, the British Parliamentary All Party Betting & Gaming Group (APPG) is inviting law-makers from around the world to join them in February in London for a day of educational and networking activities.

Scheduled for Tuesday, 7 February 2017, on the opening day of ICE Totally Gaming, the world’s largest gaming exhibition attended by close to 30 000 visitors, the International Legislators’ Day will not only give an opportunity to law-makers and regulators to discuss how best to legislate and scrutinise legislation of gambling, but also to witness industry innovation on display at the show and in operation by touring gambling facilities, such as a betting shop and a casino.
