The educational tracks will cover a general regulatory update, including the latest regarding the DGOJ mandatory problem gambling detection algorithm and cross operator deposit limits.

The panel during the webinar will also outline detailed sports betting growth projections. With football providing the world’s biggest sports betting market, the World Cup always has a major impact on betting volumes. Experts from H2 Gambling Capital have prepared an extensive market analysis tracking how the 2026 tournament will impact Spain specifically.


Applying these dynamics to Spain, we expect the 2026 World Cup to generate in the region of €2bn of sports betting handle for Spanish licensed operators over the course of the tournament. This figure reflects the combined contribution of existing active players betting more heavily during the event, dormant accounts reactivating, and new account sign-ups drawn in by the tournament.
