The 2025 Gaming in Spain Conference (GiS), set to take place on June 26, 2025, in Madrid, will bring together top industry figures to discuss the latest regulatory changes affecting Spain’s regulated online gambling market, as well as developments in Latin American (LatAm) markets.
Keynote Speaker: Mikel Arana
The conference will be kicked off by Mikel Arana, the Director General of Spain’s Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ), who will deliver the keynote address. Mr. Arana is expected to provide insights into the latest regulatory updates and explain the new obligations for Spanish-licensed online operators. His address will be pivotal in understanding the evolving regulatory landscape in Spain.
Major Regulatory Changes on the Horizon
One of the key issues to be discussed at the event is the reintroduction of advertising restrictions. Last year, these restrictions were overturned by Spain’s Supreme Court, but they are now likely to be reintroduced as part of a new public health law. This change could have significant implications for Spain’s iGaming market.
Other topics that will be covered include:
- The introduction of a single spending limit across all games.
- The proposal for cross-operator deposit limits.
- The development of a single regulator-approved problem gambling detection algorithm.
These regulations are expected to shape the future of Spain’s online gambling industry, and the GiS Conference will be the perfect venue for understanding their impact.
Additional Speakers and Sessions
The conference will feature several prominent speakers, including:
- Jorge Hinojosa, Director General at JDigital.
- Xavi Muñoz, Partner at ECIJA.
- Camille Gonzálvez, Gambling Lawyer at ECIJA.
- Josh Hodgson, COO at H2 Gambling Capital.
Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Spain, commented, “While Spain remains the focus, we are also expanding the scope to include LatAm markets, which offer exciting opportunities for Spain-facing operators.”
In addition to discussions on Spain’s iGaming regulations, the event will feature dedicated LatAm sessions. These country-specific breakout sessions will cover the latest regulatory developments and market conditions in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, providing valuable insights into these rapidly growing markets.
Networking Opportunities
The 2025 GiS Conference will offer extensive networking opportunities, allowing attendees to meet key decision-makers from Spain’s iGaming industry in person. The event provides a unique platform to foster connections and business partnerships within Spain’s regulated market.
