CasinoBeats Malta Digital, SBC’s latest event during this tumultuous time, has kicked off with a look at how the gambling industry, particularly in Malta, continues to navigate the choppy waters of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The day began with a welcome message from the Hon. Clayton Bartolo, Parliamentary Secretary, Financial Services and Digital Economy for Malta. “The new normal dictates that we meet virtually and not in person, but I am confident that Malta’s success in handling the Covid outbreak will allow us to host you in Malta soon,” he said.

With the opening keynote was Ivan Filletti, COO GamingMalta, who remarked on the charitable efforts the gambling industry has made. Organizations have donated masks, given to charitable foundations, made apartments available for frontline workers, and much more.

On the business side, he was confident the industry will find its way to a better tomorrow, adapting to all challenges before it. “The only constant is change, as cliché as it sounds, it’s the brutal truth,” he said. “We need the continuity of these thought leadership sessions to learn how to embrace change and continue strengthening the iGaming heartbeat.”
