LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Sep 22, 2014) - The Gaming Standards Association (GSA) hosted a well-attended and successful two-day workshop in London to encourage an open dialogue between the gaming industry and regulatory domain leaders.

Additionally, the OGC discussed differences and commonalities between various regulatory requirements and established the committee's approach to satisfying those requirements.

Also presenting was Remote Gaming Association Director of Projects and Policy Sue Rossiter who spoke about the importance of technical standards and solutions, and why standards are important to Operators.

The event also featured an important roundtable discussion on the challenges of multi-jurisdiction supply, interoperability, and integration and compliance.

Panelists included representatives from the diverse gaming industry: Mediatech Solutions Executive Director Paulina Guzman; AMAYA Online Director of Compliance Anna Dearlove; and OpenBet Director of Product Marketing Peter James.
