Evoplay travelled to Florida for the NASPL Annual Conference and Trade Show,. This year it was held in Orlando. The event brought together operators, suppliers and regulators from across North America for four days of panels, keynotes and no shortage of hallway conversation. One topic ran quietly beneath almost every session: how lottery competes in a digital world that keeps shifting under its feet.
Frank Cecchini, Head of Lottery at Evoplay, represented our company on the ground, meeting local experts and reconnecting with familiar faces from the sector. He told:
NASPL invited almost everyone working in the North American lottery, and that density of people in one place is rare. What struck me most was how many operators are asking the same question: we’re right to push back on prediction markets, but it isn’t a strategy on its own.
For our team, that was the entire point of showing up. Regulation can hold the line against unlicensed competitors, but it won’t win back a player who already found somewhere easier to spend their evening.
We are grateful this gathering happened, and we’re looking forward to the next one!
