UNI affiliates representing casino, betting, lotteries and other gambling sector members from four regions gathered in their annual meeting in UNI's head office.



Participants exchanged information from their countries and discussed the future activities for UNI gaming. The main challenges for the sector are growing online gambling, lack of regulation, health and safety issues.



UNI Gaming heard a presentation from UNI Sports about their work with athletes to prevent unfair betting. It was agreed both sectors should work close together fighting bad practices and negative impact of online betting.



The meeting also adopted the sector rules and elected the president. For two years, UNI Gaming Global Union will be lead by Daniel Amoroso from ALEARA (Argentina).



The next global meeting is foreseen for 2013. In 2012, UNI Gaming is planning to organise a few regional meetings.
