Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Germany, commented on the event’s focus:

Like in many other European markets, calls for stricter regulations have put black-market growth in the spotlight. In Germany in particular, there exists significant controversy about the true market share of offshore operators. We intend to share specific and concrete data at this year’s conference. We are very happy that the German regulator will be present, as well as all the major industry voices.

Senior representatives from the German regulator (GGL) and ZEAL will also be present.

In addition to high-level policy discussions, the event will include highly interactive breakout sessions focused on practical business operations.

These sessions will cover essential topics such as KYC, AML, data protection, and payment solutions, providing attendees with actionable information to enhance their day-to-day operations.

A call for speakers is currently open, with a specific interest in expertise on media, marketing, affiliation, and compliance. Registration for the 2025 Gaming in Germany event is available now.
