Contacts made at a major eGaming conference could bring further economic benefit to the Island.

The Department of Economic Development and representatives from the industry attended ICE Totally Gaming earlier this month.

The eBusiness sector represents over 14 per cent of the Island’s economy and directly employs over 1500 people.

Government says due to the interest generated at the event, it’s hopeful this will translate into more jobs and more money.

Peter Greenhill is the chief executive officer of eGaming:
