Staff do not have working hours, but rather a team framework in which they complete projects around their own schedules. There is no arriving at work for 8am and punching out at 5pm. Nsoft employees are free to enter and leave work at their own discretion, nor is there a set number of hours an individual needs to fulfil as part of their project work. There is no need to schedule holidays or take sick days, as time is fluid, staff only work the hours and times required to complete projects, working in teams that cooperatively ensure every objective is met on schedule. Now you might imagine that’s fine for a small software development team organising their workload in a tiny utopian environment, but Nsoft employs over 100 staff, as part of a larger enterprise consisting of 140 employees. What’s more, the company is looking to hire a further 100 people before the end of 2016, and according to Mr. Cordas, the plan is to rapidly expand to 1,000 staff in there iS no need to Schedule holidayS or take Sick dayS, Staff only Work the hourS required to coMplete projectS the short-term. And speaking of the staff, they’re some of the most motivated, content and ebullient people you could meet. Each extolling the virtues of their work environment and progressive nature of their company. With youth unemployment at almost 60 per cent in Bosnia, such a radical approach to employment is paying dividends not only for Nsoft, but for the wider community too. While struggling to find the right calibre of tech-savvy recruits, Nsoft is creating its own training schools for college and university leavers, attracting international developers with lifestyle packages to draw them to Mostar, and, says Mr. Cordas, there are plans to build dedicated apartment complexes for staff, enabling Nsoft to manage rents for their employees at rates significantly below the market norm. Though technically speaking, having ‘no rules’ is a rule - that’s probably the only rule Nsoft wouldn’t break. editorial advertiSing Editor Commercial Director lewis Pek John Slattery [email protected] [email protected] +44 (0) 1942 879291 +44 (0)7917 166471 News Editor Advertising Executive Phil Martin James Slattery [email protected] [email protected] +44 (0)7801 967714 +44 (0)7917 166471 Associate Editor (Malaga) Advertising Executive Karen Southall alison dronfield [email protected] [email protected] Consultant (Germany) +44 (0)1204 410771 John carroll Production [email protected] Senior Designer South America Correspondent gareth irwin James Marrison Production Manager [email protected] Paul Jolleys Contributors Subscriptions Manager david addison, Jennifer Pek valery Bollier, Commercial Administrator rob Painter John Pek P4 NEWSWIRE / INTERACTIVE / 247.COM Calendar June 2016 EMEA IAGA International Gaming Summit May 31-June 2, 2016 LOCAtION CONtACt The Westin Dragonara Resort, Kirsten Clark St Julians, Malta t: +1 702 241 9184 ORGANISER E: [email protected] IAGA – International Association www.theiaga.org/iaga-summit/ of Gaming Advisor PO Box 92495 Henderson Nevada United States NV 89009 NORTh AMERICA Juegos Miami 2016 May 31-June 3, 2016 LOCAtION CONtACt The Biltmore, Coral Gables, Miami, Kate Chambers Florida, United States t: +44 207 384 2771 ORGANISER E: Clarion Events [email protected] Fulham Green, Bedford House www.juegosmiami.com 69-79 Fulham High Street London United Kingdom SW6 3JW EMEA iGaming Super Show 2016 June 7-10, 2016 LOCAtION CONtACt The Amsterdam RAI, Netherlands Alana Jones ORGANISER t: +44 207 954 3480 iGaming Business E: Electric Word [email protected] 2nd Floor, 5 Thomas More Square www.igamingsupershow.com London United Kingdom E1W 1YW NORTh AMERICA Canadian Gaming Summit 2016 June 13-15, 2016 LOCAtION CONtACt Ottawa Convention Centre, Canada Brad Moore ORGANISER t: +1 416 512 8186 MediaEdge Communications F: +1 416 512 8344 5255 Yonge Street, Suite 1000 E: [email protected] toronto www.canadiangamingsummit.co Ontario m Canada M2N 6P4 P6 NEWSWIRE / INTERACTIVE / 247.COM SOuTh AMERICA Peru Gaming Show 2016 June 15-16, 2016 LOCAtION CONtACt Jockey Exposition Center, Lima, Joe Lopez Peru t: +51 1 447 3635 / 365 ORGANISER E: Peru Gaming Show, [email protected] Affiliated Marketing Group www.perugamingshow.com Calle Schel 343 - Ofic. 306, Miraflores.

We read newspapers, books, and magazines online instead of on paper, we shopped online instead of visiting the mall, and we streamed movies directly from the internet rather than renting them from a video store. BAlso by this time, much of our daily interactions with other human beings occurred over the internet, through email and social media. Entertainment of all forms had migrated online. Consumers across age groups were increasingly turning to computers and mobile devices for music, television shows, and the news. Yet in 2010, there was no legal internet-based, real money gaming in the United States. A number of companies, largely located offshore, offered online poker and other games, but did so in a legal gray area. In 2011, the federal government announced that online domestic sites offering gaming were functioning illegally under applicable legislation and ordered the shut-down of the largest internet poker websites in the U.S. This created a vacuum that several states sought to fill by passing laws to legalize online intrastate iGaming. In the years that followed, a growing number of states began permitting real money online poker and other internet games.

  • Esports Insights
    GLOBAL eSports Insights Making Sense of the Economics There has been much discussion regarding eSports team valuation recently, particularly given that Blizzard is currently seeking franchise investors for its Overwatch League (LINK). In general, eSports franchise valuations have varied significantly, with estimated valuation ranges from $2m-$5m in non-major market to upwards of $30m in major markets. We expect valuations to continue to vary widely based on various factors, with roughly three distinct levels.

  • Esports an Emerging Industry
    eSports An Emerging Industry Rohan Bose Mercer Capital www.mercercapital.com BUSINESS VALUATION & FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES eSports is a rapidly expanding industry that has drawn viewers and investments alike. The introduction of streaming platforms as well as the improvement in mobile technology has allowed the industry to grow from its arcade hall beginnings in the 1970s to compet- itors streaming games to millions of viewers globally. In addition to being highly visible (192 million frequent viewers in 2017), the eSports industry is also lucrative ($906 million projected industry revenue in 2018). The History of eSports Sprouting from humble beginnings, researchers trace the roots of the eSports industry to informal competitions held at video game arcades in the 1970s. One of the first breakthroughs came in 1980 when Atari’s National Space Invaders Championship drew 10,000 participants across the U.S. As a spectator sport, eSports first took off in South Korea, when cable networks broadcast StarCraft tourna- ments in the early 2000s. By 2004, StarCraft stadium events in South Korea drew 100,000 fans. In the U.S., the coming of age moment arrived in 2013 when 13,000 people flooded the Staples Center to watch the world championship final of League of Legends. A Growing Audience The eSports industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years. According to data from Newzoo, an eSports researcher, the global eSports audience totaled 204 million in 2014. Approximately 56% (114 million) were considered frequent viewers/enthusiasts while the remaining 44% (90 million) were categorized as occasional viewers. By 2017, the global audience grew to 335 million, a compound annual growth rate of approximately 36% and the viewership ratio was approximately the same (57% categorized as frequent viewers/enthusiasts and 43% as occasional viewers).

    [Type here] FANTASY (E)SPORTS: THE FUTURE PROSPECT OF FANTASY SPORTS BETTING AMONGST ORGANIZED MULTIPLAYER VIDEO GAME COMPETITIONS Matthew R. Tsai* INTRODUCTION There seems to be a general understanding that the exponential growth in technological advancements has left the legal field lagging behind significantly.1 Harold F. Kelley, President of Datapoint Corporation in the 1980s, has appropriately summarized the recent phenomenon of interplay between legal issues and a society dominated by technology: Technology holds the greatest opportunity to improve productivity and cost in American business. But it will also create legal questions and issues. A new field of experts is called for. It will probably be a group, like the patent attorneys, who will be at the leading edge of understanding what computers and technology can and can’t do.2 Information technology is the incorporation of computer technology, the Internet, as well as wireless and telecommunications technologies to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data.3 In recent decades, the increased accessibility to computers, smartphones, tablets, and related technologies has created an indispensable reliance on information technology.4 For instance, the estimated number of Internet users in the world as of 2015 has exceeded 3 billion.5 In 2014, the United States ranked second in terms of Internet usage, * Notes Editor, UNLV Gaming Law Journal, Juris Doctor Candidate, May 2016, William S.
