The 2025 Gaming in Spain Conference, which is set to take place June 26 in Madrid, will bring you the latest news on Spain’s regulated iGaming market.

Mikel Arana confirmed as keynote speaker

The event’s keynote will be delivered by Mr. Mikel Arana, Director General of Span’s Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ).

Mr. Arana will explain both the latest regulatory developments and the resulting obligations for Spanish-licensed online operators.

Other topics & speakers

A series of far-reaching advertising restrictions that were initially overturned by Spain’s Supreme Court last year appear close to being reintroduced as part of a new public health law. The introduction of these restrictions s expected to have a significant impact on Spain’s regulated market.

Other regulatory measures that have been recently introduced or that are currently in preparation include a single spending limit across all games, as well as (future) cross-operator deposit limits and the introduction of a single regulator-approved problem gambling detection algorithm.

To discuss these and other topics, we have currently confirmed the following speakers: Jorge Hinojosa, Director General, JDigital; Xavi Muñoz, Partner, ECIJA; Camille Gonzálvez, Gambling Lawyer, ECIJA; and Josh Hodgson, COO, H2 Gambling Capital.

Additional speakers will be announced soon!

Dedicated LatAm sessions

In addition to our Spain-focused main program, the 2025 GiS Conference will also feature several sessions specifically dedicated to LatAm markets.

Country-specific breakout sessions on Brazil, Colombia, and Peru will be part of the program. Expect in-depth sessions on the latest regulatory developments and data-driven market analysis!

Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Spain commented: “Although Spain remains, of course, the focus of our event, I am very glad that we are also looking a bit farther this year. For Spain-facing operators, LatAm is an exciting region to consider for expansion. Happily, we have speakers who are fully updated on local regulations and market conditions.” 

Extensive networking opportunities

The 2025 GiS Conference offers extensive networking opportunities. Meet the Spanish market’s key decision makers in person!

Hello there! Adrienn here. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
