Convergence of Big Data and AI in the

New iGaming and Sports Wagering World at the

Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga

Saratoga Springs, NY: Big data and AI technology are disrupting the entire gaming world, creating opportunities and challenges for this global industry. A panel of banking, regulatory and gaming executives from multiple countries and disciplines will address this critical issue at the upcoming Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga (RGCS), to be held August 12-14 at the Saratoga Hilton.

The session titled It’s Not Your Grandfather’s Casino: Big Business and the Convergence of Big Data and AI in the New iGaming and Sports Wagering World will be moderated by Dan Hartman, former Director, Colorado Division of Gaming and Associate Partner, GMA Consulting, with an opening presentation by Cameron McKnight, Managing Director, Head of Investments-Gaming, Lodging & Leisure at Capital One NA. Other presenters include:

Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO, idPair
Matt Heap, Managing Director, ProhiBet
Dr. Joerg Hofmann, Senior Partner, Melchers Law and former President, IMGL
Joseph Martin, CEO, Kinectify

While gamblers can play anonymously at casinos and at racetracks, that option does not exist in the digital world. The rapid expansion of mobile and iGaming has exponentially increased the collection of player data, creating unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The panel of industry experts will address such questions as:

Who is legally responsible for how this private data is used? Is it lawmakers, regulators, or the operators themselves?
Is the new “Responsible Online Gaming Association” formed by top operators a good first step?
What is being done to use data and AI to identify problematic play early and intervene on the players behalf?
Can payment providers use their data to detect vulnerabilities?
How can laws and regulations be aligned so that the sharing of data across operator platforms and state borders can create positive responsible gaming outcomes? Could this be the answer in accelerating a national self-exclusion list and identifying prohibited players and problem gamblers faster and more effectively?
Can the US market learn lessons from the international community to be proactive instead of reactive?

The RGCS offers an extensive agenda of vital topics, and features a broad mix of industry experts that includes academics, elected officials, lawyers, regulators, gaming operators and racing patrons who will examine the trends, challenges and opportunities facing the racing and gaming industries, including the central issue facing New York State: the expected introduction of three full-service commercial casinos in Downstate New York.

The conference agenda has been expanded this year to include an additional half-day of content. In addition to welcome addresses and 12 panel discussions, this year’s event will include two evening networking receptions and an option to attend a Day at the Races on August 14.

Registration for the RGCS is open, and a block of rooms has been reserved at the hotel for conference attendees. Be sure to book your room before July 20 to receive the conference rate. As usual, the event coincides with the iconic summer Thoroughbred racing season at Saratoga Race Course, making it a must-attend event for both racing and gaming professionals.
