Italian lawyer Quirino Mancini of SCM Lawyers told the eGaming Summit in the Isle of Man that people in the gaming industry are ‘good guys’ but the media did not always see it like that.
Drawing upon a series of examples from his home jurisdiction Italy, which harbours a notoriously complex relationship with eGaming, Mr Mancini tackled the perennial problem of the controversial image of gaming in the face of media and public opinion.
He said the media in his home country often concentrated on gambling addiction but not other addictions such as smoking and binge drinking.
