The Regulating the Game conference has announced that Alison Taylor, Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Stern School of Business and Executive Director of Ethical Systems, will be a keynote speaker at its 2025 edition in Sydney. Her expertise in ethical business practices and her perspectives on navigating turbulent times are expected to add “significant” depth to this year’s event, according to organisers.

Alison Taylor is the author of the book Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World, while her work at NYU Stern School of Business and Ethical Systems has positioned her as a leading voice in ethical business practices. Taylor’s insights on ethics and integrity in business have been “highly sought” after, said organisers, making her a “prominent” figure in both academic and professional circles.

Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch, expressed his enthusiasm about the lineup for the 5th edition of the conference: “With thought leaders like Alison Taylor sharing their unique perspectives, our attendees are guaranteed to gain invaluable insights and be deeply inspired.

“We have a history of delivering unmatched speaker line-ups and content, spanning critical themes and issues confronting regulators and the sector. It has become a must-attend event for regulatory and industry professionals and essential for operators committed to securing an innovative, thriving, and sustainable industry.”

“Our inaugural call for speakers is receiving strong interest and we encourage sector leaders, regulators, policymakers, manufacturers, compliance and forensic experts, industry professionals, clinicians, researchers, academics, and thought pioneers to apply to speak at the conference in March next year,” a press release noted.

Further, organisers added: “We believe it’s crucial for all stakeholders to engage and participate in the public square, contributing knowledge and insights, and hearing diverse perspectives to best inform public policy thinking and discussions. This engagement helps influence robust regulatory settings that deliver effective industry supervision while facilitating the conditions for a safer, invigorated, and sustainable sector.”

Registration for the conference opens in August.

On 2 May, the Danish Parliament adopted the Act on Amendment of Act on Gambling. Among other things, the amendment of the Gambling Act means that the Danish Gambling Authority from the 1st of July 2024 will have more response options i.e., options to issue orders and reprimands.

Until last month, the Danish Gambling Authority had the option to warn the licence holder or report it to the police when the Danish Gambling Authority found a breach of the gambling legislation.

However, in the future, when the Danish Gambling Authority finds a breach, the Danish Gambling Authority can issue an order and/or a reprimand. If the licence holder fails to comply with the order or does not meet the deadline, the breach may result in a report to the police or the licence may be revoked.

The amendment of the Act also means that the Danish Gambling Authority must publish court rulings where the outcome is a verdict of guilty or a partial verdict and fines issued for breaches found after 1 July 2024 on the Danish Gambling Authority’s website for five years.

On Spillemyndigheden.dk, you will find a full list of all reactions issued by the Danish Gambling Authority. You will find the list “Rulings and reactions” under “News” in the menu. The list enables you to filter by type of reaction and field of law.
