Social Gaming - Central London 2013

Social Gaming 2013 is a conference that will explore the booming social gaming industry. With a focus on both social gaming and social gambling, the one-day summit will encompass all aspects of this sector. The social gaming industry is without doubt one of the fastest growing sectors of the decade - a Morgan Stanley report into social gaming estimates that if left unregulated, by 2015 the industry could be worth $7bn. Yet despite its profitability, the industry is subject to much scrutiny involving issues such as virtual currencies, privacy, marketing and advertising, and the protection of users and user data. As debates surrounding regulation continue, this conference will draw upon experts in the gaming, gambling and legal sphere who will offer insight into the future of this rapidly expanding industry.

The commercial potential of the social gaming industry has been highlighted by the emergence of social gaming giants such as GREE, King.com and Mixi. Over $900m was invested into social gaming companies by gambling companies in 2012, and approximately 27 million users purchased virtual goods using Facebook Payments. With this huge potential, this unique conference will ask what direction the social gaming sector is headed in, from both legal and commercial perspectives.
