Why hold an online gaming and betting event in Monaco?

The Principality of Monaco has an international gaming reputation and is currently standing at the crossroads of countries that have recently opened their betting markets (i.e. Italy, Spain and France) and those European countries that are due to open their markets in the near future.

Who organizes Monaco iGaming Exchanges?

Monaco Mediax, a Monaco-based organisation that operates under the Honorary Presidency of HSH Prince Albert II. Monaco Mediax organises and develops a number of events for the Principality of Monaco, notably SPORTELMonaco, SPORTELAsia and SPORTELAmerica.

Why holding Monaco iGaming Exchanges alongside SPORTELMonaco
(same dates and venue)?

SPORTELMonaco is the leading international Convention for Sport, Television and New Media. In 2010, it welcomed 2,188 participants representing 922 companies from 68 different countries. Online gaming concerns the majority of Sportel participants – this is particularly true for sports rights holders. For this reason, we felt it would be worth running a parallel event dedicated to online gaming, allowing Sportel attendees and their MiE counterparts to meet. In addition, MiE participants benefit directly from over 20 years of Sportel’s know-how.
