The idea has come from the emerging industries sub-committee of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce, who hope that the event will produce ideas for a white paper to the States.
Phil Balderson, who chairs the sub-committee, says he is concerned that the Island’s government has taken a ‘defensive, risk averse approach’ to the e-gaming sector.
Currently the Island law does not, for example, enable data hosting firms to provide back-up facilities for e-gaming companies.
But both the Isle of Man and Guernsey have welcomed the sector and now host some of the biggest brands, such as Sportingbet.
