Just read through last years one http://www.casinoaffiliateprograms.com/bb/33000-2009-predictions.html#post214210 and interesting to see what people predicted and what people didn’t –
So lets hear what you think will happen this year – Here is a few of mine
1) England will win the World cup :3eyes:
2) European countries will begin to follow in Italy’s footsteps legalising and regulating iGaming within their border
3) UK will re look at their iGaming legislation and more specifically the tax
4) Conservatives will win the UK election
5) UK will finally come out of the recession in the back end of the year
6) The iGaming SuperShow will be the biggest event ever held for the iGaming industry
7) Affiliate marketing will become even more important in iGaming
Party Gaming will make a big aquisition or merger such as with bwin, 888, Sportingbet, etc9) Hopefully France will sort itself out regulation wise and will become a huge focus for iGaming
10) Mobile Gaming will finally happen and will be the hot topic for affiliates
11) Facebook will not charge to use it
I would agree with several of those Alex and would add that Europe looks in line to have the biggest shake up in terms of regulation, legality and restrictions for the igaming industry.
Really looking forward to the supershow, looks awesome and its in Prague! Yey!
Here a couple from myself
1) Rakeback to continue to be the burning issue in poker, preventing many affiliates from bothering to promote poker sites.
2) Online Bingo market to become saturated in the UK very soon, but huge potential in other parts of Europe/World.
3) Sega really shake things up with their entry into the online casino market
1) US to pass a new bill including another view point on online gambling and targetting search giants
2) Europe to look into regulation out of Malta/Gib/UK etc… and getting some standards in place (new Euro president etc).
3) Cookies become a big debate1. Barney Frank will release a new bill to fully legalize & regulate online poker & payments
2. Vegas Casinos will spend $$$ paying designers & devs to create online versions of their casinos

What a fun thread ! Here are my 2010 predictions:
1) The New York Yankees will repeat as Major League Champs;
2) The UIGEA implementation will again be “delayed”, after the current 6 month
moratorium expires;3) The Obama administration will seriously consider the legalization of online gaming in
the U.S., due to continued rising national debt. However, no serious talks in Congress
will begin until after the mid-term elections; hence, nothing serious until 2011;4) The cutthroat nature of Rakeback sites will reach epidemic proportions by mid-2010,
and we will see some of the major players get rid of it entirely, followed by an overall
industry decline in its promotion;5) Two major players will come up with the next NETeller, which will be embraced by
the entire online gambling community;6) Google will lose market share to the new combined force of Yahoo!/Bing;
7) Mobile gaming will reach new record usage in 2010;
After reaching 11,500 by April of 2010, the DOW will plunge close to levels of 8,000;9) The price of Gold will retrace to the $ 940 level, and then will take off to the $ 1,400
per ounce level by the end of the year;10) I will win the CAP 10,000 member contest, and be hailed as the ultimate soothsayer
on CAP ! :tongue:1) Online gambling will not be legalized in the US yet.
2) Bing’s growth rate will diminish and level out, no matter how much Microsoft spends on advertising. Google will remain the clear leader of search.
3) We will see further consolidation of online gaming groups. PartyGaming will close on it’s acquisition of Bwin and 1-2 more major acquisitions will take place.
4) The LAC conference will be the best ever iGaming affiliate conference produced.
5) CAP will change the way casino affiliates interact with the iGaming industry.
6) Mobile gaming will grow at an unprecedented pace.
7) More land based casinos will go the way of Harrah’s and launch online presences targeting European players.
Scratch cards and lottery will grow by 25% or greater over 2005 as an industry.9) Australia will legalize and regulate online gambling.
