The air is electric as the London Affiliate Conference is nearly here, and top experts are putting the finishing touches on the speeches and presentations they will be delivering next week. WhichBingo.co.uk, the U.K.’s leading bingo review community, has given us an exclusive sneak peak of their 2019 Online Bingo Annual Report, and we’d like to share some of their predictions for the upcoming year.

Ben Starr, managing director of 15 Marketing Ltd, thinks the focus this year will be on keeping pace with regulations. He tells us, “Despite the raft of fines and actions issued in 2018, compliance and regulation haven’t peaked and will remain hot topics throughout 2019. In a world of unlimited resource, these topics go hand in hand with innovation and user experience.”

Although he doesn’t think operators will have much time for major innovation as they navigate regulatory waters, Starr believes the rollout of 5G data networks will mean better mobile content.
