Can past sins be forgotten or forgiven? Should government regulators disregard violations committed by the gaming operator before new gaming laws (which allow licensing of the operator) came into force?
Should online gaming operators be forced to cease activity in a market when applying for a licence?
The panelists will discuss the various aspects of transitioning from a restricted gaming regime to a multi-licensing system where the regulator will be dealing with applications from gaming operators who have previously been operating illegally in the jurisdiction.
¿Se pueden olvidar o perdonar los pecados pasados?
¿Deberían ignorar los reguladores gubernamentales las infracciones cometidas por el operador de juego antes de que las nuevas leyes sobre el juego (que permiten la concesión de una licencia al operador) entraran en vigor?
¿Deberían ser obligados los operadores de juego online a suspender sus actividades cuando soliciten una licencia?
Los miembros del panel abordarán los diversos aspectos que entraña la transición desde un régimen (o marco regulador) del juego restringido hasta otro caracterizado por la concesión de múltiples licencias en el que el regulador tendrá que hacer frente a solicitudes de operadores de juego que con anterioridad habían estado operando ilegalmente en la jurisdicción.

¿Es más fácil/más difícil proteger al/a la jugador/a cuando juega online que cuando lo hace offline?

En la actualidad se está produciendo en Europa un acalorado debate sobre la (necesidad de) verificación de la identidad de los jugadores.

Session 9—An Inconvenient Tax  Sesión 9 – Un impuesto inapropiado  
Gaming taxes are imposed on gaming activities to bolster state budgets or to channel to good cause organizations. Some jurisdictions even use tax as a tool for deterring growth in the gaming sector.
Gaming tax takes different forms as it is sometimes imposed on gaming revenue but other times levied on stakes or winnings.
What is the right level and form of tax to be imposed on gaming activities and when does gaming tax become an inconvenient fiscal measure that prevents financial prosperity?
Los impuestos sobre el juego con los que se gravan las actividades de juego tienen como objetivo reforzar los presupuestos estatales (nacionales) o canalizar ese dinero hacia organizaciones que persiguen buenas causas. Incluso hay algunas jurisdicciones que utilizan los impuestos para poner freno al crecimiento en el sector del juego.
Los impuestos sobre el juego asumen distintas formas ya que a veces se aplican a los ingresos del juego, pero en otras ocasiones se gravan las apuestas y las ganancias obtenidas.
¿Cuál es el nivel y el tipo de impuesto que se debe aplicar a las actividades de juego y cuándo se convierten los impuestos sobre el juego en una medida fiscal inapropiada que hace imposible la prosperidad financiera?

Session 10—The Evolution of the Remote Gambling Industry Sesión 10 – La Evolución de la Industria del Juego Remoto
It is a little over a decade since PartyGaming’s IPO, a seminal moment for the online gambling industry that could be seen as the beginning of its maturation. Since then, the “grey” market has been increasingly eroded and replaced with a black and white market as legislators seek to control (and tax) the gambling activities of their citizens. Drawing on the expertise of panelists who have been advising the industry during that decade, we will explore its evolution as it has embraced technical innovation and entered the age of the smartphone and the tablet. We will consider how the industry has had to adapt and how it still needs to adapt to address the challenges of operating as a truly regulated sector.  We will explore the recent challenges regulators face when assessing the suitability of businesses and individuals who move their operations out of the grey and into the light. We will consider how the continued evolution of wider regulatory and compliance challenges (such as anti‑money laundering, sports integrity, and privacy) is impacting the sector’s ability to go about its business. Understanding how the remote gambling industry is evolving is key to understanding the evolution of the gambling industry as a whole.
Ha transcurrido poco más de una década desde la OPI de PartyGaming, un auténtico hito en la industria del juego online que se podría ver como el principio de su maduración. Desde entonces, el mercado “gris” se ha ido erosionando cada vez más y ha sido reemplazado por un mercado blanco y negro a medida que los legisladores intentan controlar (y gravar con impuestos) las actividades de juego de sus ciudadanos. Aprovechando la experiencia y los conocimientos de los panelistas, que llevan  asesorando a la industria durante esos diez años, exploraremos su evolución conforme se han ido abrazando las innovaciones técnicas y se ha ido entrando en la era del smartphone y la tablet. Analizaremos cómo se ha tenido que adaptar la industria y la medida en que aún debe adaptarse para hacer frente a los desafíos que supone operar en un sector verdaderamente regulado. Abordaremos los retos recientes que los reguladores han de afrontar a la hora de valorar la idoneidad de las empresas y los individuos que sacan sus operaciones a la luz dejando atrás el mercado gris. Estudiaremos el impacto que está teniendo la continua evolución de unos desafíos más amplios en los ámbitos regulatorio y de cumplimiento (tales como las políticas anti-blanqueo de capitales y la integridad en el deporte, al igual que la privacidad) en la capacidad del sector para desarrollar su negocio. Entender cómo está evolucionando la industria del juego remoto resulta esencial para comprender la evolución del sector del juego en su conjunto.

Session 11—Payment processing options, opportunities, and issues  Sesión 11 – Opciones, oportunidades y problemas en relación con la tramitación de los pagos
Banking and gaming continue to operate in an ever more stressful relationship as banks become more reticent to expose themselves to the KYC and anti-terror regulations that continue to evolve.  As a result, new payment processing services are being developed to meet this “opportunity” by developing alternative ways to meet the increased scrutiny imposed by these regulations, and at the same time, integrating their systems into gambling’s transactional environment.  From variations of the traditional banking to crypto currency, join our panel of experts who will discuss customer friendly ways to meet these new challenges.
Los sectores de la banca y el juego continúan funcionando en el marco de una relación cada vez más tensa debido a que los bancos muestran una mayor reticencia a someterse a las normativas de KYC [Conoce a tu Cliente] y antiterroristas que no dejan de evolucionar. Como consecuencia de ello, se están desarrollando nuevos servicios de tramitación de pagos con el fin de aprovechar esta “oportunidad” mediante el diseño de formas alternativas para cumplir con el mayor nivel de vigilancia que imponen las citadas normativas y, al mismo tiempo, integrar sus sistemas en un entorno de transacciones de juego. Desde las variaciones de la banca tradicional hasta la criptomoneda, únanse a nuestro panel de expertos para tratar posibles maneras de afrontar estos nuevos retos que resulten beneficiosas para los clientes.

Session 12—The Liability  Sesión 12 – La Responsabilidad
Online gaming continues its explosive growth year by year and respects no territorial borders. Trying to stop online gaming offering is like holding back the tide. Nevertheless, many jurisdictions are trying to keep unlicensed operators out of their market and restrict the gaming offering. The gaming regulators are using every imaginable measure to enforce local gaming regulation: Blacklisting of operators; penalizing players; ISP blocking; payment blocking and affiliate blocking measures are taken into use. The gaming regulators have now turned their attention to the software supplier industry for aid in policing local gaming laws. Gaming platform providers have been asked to monitor traffic on their platforms and block for unlicensed gaming operators (.com traffic). Most recently, it has even suggested by a gaming regulator that gaming suppliers are liable for offenses committed by unlicensed gaming operators (using the suppliers’ platform). Is it for the gaming suppliers to act as the gaming regulators’ extended arm and are the suppliers liable for offenses committed by the gaming operators?
El juego online continúa con su crecimiento explosivo año tras año que no respeta fronteras territoriales. Intentar parar la oferta de juego online es como pretender frenar una marea.
No obstante, muchas jurisdicciones están intentando mantener a los operadores sin licencia fuera de su mercado y restringir la oferta de juego. Los reguladores del juego están empleando todas las medidas imaginables para hacer que se cumpla la normativa local en materia de juego poniendo en práctica medidas tales como: Elaboración de listas negras de operadores; Penalización a jugadores; Bloqueo de ISP; Bloqueo de Pagos y Bloqueo de Filiales.
Los reguladores del juego han dirigido ahora su atención hacia la industria proveedora de software en busca de ayuda para la vigilancia del cumplimiento de las leyes locales en materia de juego. Se ha pedido a los proveedores de plataformas de juego que monitoricen el tráfico en sus plataformas y apliquen bloqueos para los operadores de juego sin licencia (.com traffic).
Más recientemente, el Gobierno rumano ha llegado incluso a sugerir que los proveedores de juego son responsables de los delitos cometidos por los operadores de juego sin licencia (usando la plataforma del proveedor) y que se podría obligar a los proveedores a pagar los impuestos sobre el juego que deben esos operadores –lo que se conoce como “pago de impuestos retroactivo”–.
¿Corresponde a los proveedores de juego actuar como una prolongación de los reguladores del juego y son esos proveedores de juego responsables de los delitos cometidos por los operadores de juego?

MIÉRCOLES, 14 DE OCTUBRE

Excursiones por la ciudad y comida de IMGL
Hora de salida de la excursión: 9.30h
Duración del recorrido: tres horas
Nos dirigiremos al Centro Histórico de Lima, la parte antigua de la ciudad y la capital del Virreinato Peruano. En nuestra visita al Centro Histórico de Lima podrán apreciar la belleza de más de cincuenta monumentos y edificaciones coloniales, tales como el Paseo de la República, la Plaza de San Martín, la Plaza Mayor, el Palacio de Gobierno, el Palacio Arzobispal, la Basílica Catedral y el Palacio Consistorial, entre otros.

Disfrutaremos de un paseo por la Plaza Mayor, el centro turístico de Lima, siguiendo hacia el monumental Convento de San Francisco, donde se expone la mayor colección de arte religioso de América. El momento más destacado de nuestro recorrido será la visita a las bóvedas subterráneas conocidas como “Catacumbas”.

Durante el camino de regreso al hotel, haremos una parada en el “Parque del Amor”, construido con un estilo peculiar inspirado en Gaudí.

Quizá el club más exclusivo de Perú, el Club Nacional lleva siendo un vehículo para los negocios desde su fundación en 1855. Atravesar las puertas del Club Nacional realmente supone retroceder en el tiempo a cuando las decisiones de interés nacional se adoptaban mientras se tomaban copas y se fumaban puros. Ser invitado a este lugar por uno de sus miembros, exclusivamente masculinos, significa acceder a los escalafones más altos de la élite empresarial y gubernamental peruana.
