Future gambling reform & the industry’s response. Strategies for countering offshore offerings and to #ReclaimTheMarket for licensed operators. Fraud prevention and AML. The current & future permissibility of new products, including prediction betting and sweepstakes. Gaming in Spain founder, Willem van Oort commented: “I am extremely happy that we managed to bring together so many key stakeholders, representing the regulator, licensed operators, suppliers, and even Spain’s National Police. I think this is representative of what Gaming in Spain and, more broadly, Gaming in Europe are trying to achieve, which is facilitating the kind of discussions that help foster long-term sustainability for regulated gambling. All this, of course, against the backdrop of the growing threat of unprotected gambling due to unfair, unlicensed, and offshore competition. Reclaiming the market requires both cooperation and shared knowledge.” Initial agenda An overview of confirmed topics and speakers is included below.
