Major Stakeholders Gather for Regulatory Review
In two weeks, Berlin will serve as the meeting point for prominent figures in the gambling sector, as the 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference takes place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Ku’damm. Representatives including operators, analysts, and legal professionals are expected to participate in vital industry discussions.
Evaluation of 2021 Treaty Takes Priority
The core agenda for this year’s event spotlights the review process for Germany’s 2021 State Gambling Treaty (GlüStV 2021). The country’s federal states are actively analyzing the treaty’s effectiveness, with their final assessment scheduled for release in 2026. The conclusions drawn from this evaluation are expected to play a crucial role in shaping Germany’s approach to iGaming regulation.
Preliminary feedback hints that there may be movement on certain reform initiatives, particularly around streamlined game certification processes. While comprehensive industry requests are unlikely to be fully satisfied, the regulatory environment appears to be shifting in a positive direction.
Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Germany, commented:
“This year’s Gaming in Germany Conference is where important discussions will take place on which regulatory goals to pursue. Major stakeholders, including operators, trade associations, and the regulator, are all coming. I think this underscores the importance of our event. Moreover, it is the only conference aimed at the German market where both domestic and international stakeholders show up to connect and share insights and information. If you want to help shape the conversation and meet key stakeholders, Berlin is the place to be.”
