iGaming DACH Summit 2026

The third iGaming DACH Summit takes place on 3 and 4 December 2026 at the Hilton Vienna Park, organised by Eventus International. It is a regional conference on the online gambling markets of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, aimed at operators, suppliers, regulators and legal advisers active in those markets. The 2026 theme is "Driving Growth Across the Region". The two days are split by subject. Thursday deals with regulation and market structure: the review of Germany's gambling State Treaty, the possibility that Austria replaces its monopoly with a licensing system open to several operators, affordability checks, KYC methods and the illegal market. Friday turns to how operators respond in practice, with sessions on responsible gambling, data-led player protection, AI and compliance, as well as game design under regulatory limits. The published timetable opens registration at 10:00 on both days, with conference and exhibition sessions from 10:30. Thursday closes with an evening reception from 16:30 to 21:00 and Friday with farewell drinks. The Eventus Awards 2026 are to be presented at the summit on 3 December, and nominations close on 20 November. Passes cost EUR 595 for Friday only, EUR 995 for both days and EUR 1,495 for suppliers, the last including a table-top stand, handout distribution or a brochure advert. The official speaker list has 20 names. Among them are Gustav Trefil of Austria's Federal Ministry of Finance, Monika Racek of Admiral Casinos & Entertainment, OVWG president Simon Priglinger-Simader of Entain, Christian Piska of the University of Vienna and Michael Auer of Neccton. Several law firms from the region are represented, as are two researchers from Fraunhofer SIT. Eventus runs the Lottery CX Summit and the AI in iGaming Summit in Vienna on the same dates. For affiliates, the relevance lies in the German and Austrian rulebooks: the licensing questions on this agenda decide which brands can be promoted legally in those markets. The full agenda is sent only on request.
