Isle of Man September 2016 Kindly Sponsored By
KPMG eGaming Summit Isle of Man September 2016 Kindly sponsored by A Word from the Sponsor As the Isle of Man’s principal data storage provider, Continent 8 is delighted to sponsor this year’s report of the KPMG eGaming Summit. We believe wholeheartedly that the Isle of Man is uniquely placed as a market leader in the eGaming business, and, being home to no fewer than six Tier 3+ data centres, we feel very proud to host a prominent role in it. Indeed, a superlative telecommunications network, symbiosis between public/private sector, and a strong yet agile regulatory framework, secures the Island’s place as a leading player on the global eGaming stage. It’s no surprise that key industry providers, such as Microgaming and PokerStars, choose to establish themselves here. Providing storage facilities for this industry is in our DNA. Our world class data centre is centrally situated on the Island, just 500 metres from the power station, and constitutes the footprint for a wealth of resources now servicing Dublin, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Malta, Milan, Montreal, Paris and Singapore. Our reputation has led us to become the most recognised brand for consummate security and reliable services in the eGaming industry. Emerging from this year’s dynamic eGaming Summit were several key themes: we’re doing fine as a jurisdiction post- Brexit, in fact, greater opportunity for the island is on its way. There’s a growing importance in the field of player protection (especially with the upcoming NOSES scheme). New markets are opening up, most notably Asia and Africa.
