About this event
The Gaming in Spain Conference 2026 took place on 15 October at the ECIJA auditorium in Madrid. It is an annual one-day event run by Gaming in Europe, whose founder Willem van Oort opened the day, and is aimed at professionals in Spain's regulated online gambling industry.
The programme listed about 27 speakers, among them people from the DGOJ, Spain's gambling regulator, the Policía Nacional, ECIJA and Adyen, along with operators and advisers. Morning sessions covered the regulatory update, the implementation of cross-operator deposit limits, the regulator's new problem gambling detection algorithm, regulated gambling in Melilla, the Spanish market in numbers, and action against illegal gambling ads on Meta platforms. The afternoon moved to crypto versus regulated play, fraud prevention, the EU's new AML/CFT rules, prediction betting and sweepstakes, AI in affiliate marketing, and payments, with parallel breakout sessions on promotions, onboarding and fraud tracking.
