Sergey Portnov CEO of Parimatch was pleased to announced the sponsorship of Game ON
“Sportsbetting – is a game of intellect andskill. By banning it we ban thinking. Sports and betting are intimately depended on each other. Professional Athletes exhibit their skills solely for their fans. And loyal sport fans can appreciate sports as experts and analysts. They want to be a part of it. And thus, they can only rely on intellectual game rather than physical
Why should Ukrainians be deprived of the right to love sports in all its forms? Why are they forbidden to analyze, to think make informed decisions?
Sportsbetting can be easily compared with other branches of economy – oil and gas, machine building, metallurgical engineering – a necessary area for the country’s economy requiring legislation. A solid legal framework will positively effect labor market, increase tourism and help country’s economy flourish. That’s why there is an urgent need for conferences such as Game ON. This is an excellent platform for open dialogue with the government and other stakeholders on the subject of gambling regulation”.
