2025 Gaming in Spain Conference Overview and Key Speakers

Keynote Speaker

Mikel Arana, Director General of Spain’s Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ), will deliver the keynote address. He will discuss the latest regulatory developments and the obligations these changes will impose on Spanish-licensed online operators.

Spain’s Supreme Court recently overturned advertising restrictions. However, these restrictions may soon return as part of a new public health law. The reintroduction of these restrictions will likely have a significant impact on the regulated market.

Other regulatory measures include a single spending limit across all games, future cross-operator deposit limits, and a single, regulator-approved problem gambling detection algorithm.

Confirmed Speakers

In addition to Mikel Arana, several industry leaders will provide valuable insights into these developments. Confirmed speakers include:

• Jorge Hinojosa, Director General at JDigital

• Xavi Muñoz, Partner at ECIJA

• Camille Gonzálvez, Gambling Lawyer at ECIJA

• Josh Hodgson, COO at H2 Gambling Capital

The 2025 GiS Conference will provide ample networking opportunities, allowing attendees to meet key decision-makers in Spain’s iGaming industry. This year’s conference will also feature dedicated sessions on Latin American markets. These LatAm-specific sessions will cover Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, providing in-depth discussions on the latest regulatory updates and 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.”
