Special Interest Group for Gaming Gambling Industry

Welcome

Gambit is destined to be intellectual playground for all those in the gaming, gambling and gamebling industries. Initiated by Cass Business School's EMBA alumni, Gareth Wong, founder of GamBond, our aim is to provide a space for networking, mental stimulation and exchange of views on an industry that’s highly innovative, always controversial yet gaining further legitimacy and respects everyday.

Gambit is set to attract interest from around the globe and we are passionate about creating an eclectic mix of business, legal and technology professions with an interest in debating industry trends and developments.

There is no membership fee. Your only investment is time. Gambit was launched with an exclusive invite only inaugural dinner held on Monday 24th January 2005 at Cass Business School. See this report about the exclusive launch event.

A great opportunity to get in on the ‘ground floor’ is to attend our future public events.
