Positive Action Group to tackle eGaming

Tuesday, 22 October 2013 at 00:00

What does the eGaming sector bring to the Isle of Man?

That’s the question being posed by the Positive Action Group at a public meeting next Monday.

"eGaming – Assessing its value” will see Peter Greenhill from the Department of Economic Development and MHK Howard Quayle discuss the sector.

It currently represents 10 per cent of the Manx economy and PAG will determine whether our economic dependence on it is good or bad.

Roger Tomlinson says their meeting will be addressing both sides of the coin:
