Vienna is set to become the epicenter of Europe’s gaming industry as three flagship events – the iGaming DACH Summit 2025, the Player Protection Summit 2025, and the Lottery CX Summit 2025 – take place from 3–4 December 2025. With just seven weeks to go, industry leaders, regulators, and innovators are preparing to explore the future of responsible, competitive, and experience-driven gaming across Europe and beyond.
iGaming DACH Summit 2025: Driving Growth Across Germany, Austria & Switzerland
Date: 3–4 December 2025 | Location: Vienna, Austria
Focusing on one of Europe’s most dynamic regions, the iGaming DACH Summit will highlight regulatory evolution, market opportunities, and the strategic edge of compliance.
Monika Racek, Chairwoman of ADMIRAL Casinos & Entertainment AG, emphasises the shift in mindset needed across the sector:
“Compliance must evolve from an obligation to a strategic advantage. Trust between operators and regulators will drive innovation, loyalty, and long-term legitimacy.”
Key Discussion Themes:
Unlocking regulatory potential across Germany, Austria, Switzerland
Combatting unlicensed market threats
Building loyalty through trusted, responsible brand engagement
Top legal, compliance, and commercial experts – including Dr. Joerg Hofmann, Christian Gruber, and Filip Janczak – will lead the dialogue shaping DACH’s next chapter.
Player Protection Summit 2025: Safeguarding the Future of Gaming
Alongside market expansion, Vienna will also host the inaugural Player Protection Summit, dedicated to safer gambling innovation and responsible growth.
Šimon Vincze, Head of Sustainable & Safer Gambling at Casino Guru, stresses a fundamental shift:
“Player protection is not just compliance – it’s an opportunity to build trust, well-being, and retention. Positive play and empowerment must replace fear-based messaging.”
Key Focus Areas:
Global regulatory trends across Europe, North America & Brazil
Balancing responsibility with shareholder value
Preparing for 2026 compliance expectations
Experts including Inga Varno-Baloglu, Kevin Rieger, and Roman Neßhold will showcase new frameworks, data insights, and collaborative safety strategies.
Lottery CX Summit 2025: Reinventing Relevance in a Digital Era
With consumer expectations rapidly evolving, the Lottery CX Summit will tackle the challenge of keeping century-old lottery formats competitive in a multi-platform gaming world.
Justin Deaville, Managing Director at Receptional, highlights the critical CX gap:
“Lotteries lose 90% of players before sign-up. Success now depends on understanding motivations – not just marketing tickets, but crafting personalised journeys.”
Key Agenda Topics:
Modernising a 100-year-old product for digital audiences
Psychology & behaviour of today’s lottery players
Omni-channel strategies for growth and retention
Industry voices such as Patrick Fagan, Michael Auer, and Bo Flindt Jørgensen will share proven tactics from markets leading the transformation.
A Unified Platform for Industry Progress
Together, these three summits promise an unparalleled platform for knowledge-sharing, regulatory alignment, and commercial innovation. From responsible gambling and compliance tech to CX breakthroughs and market strategy, Vienna 2025 is where Europe’s gaming future will be defined.
