Conference topics
Sessions at the 2023 Gaming in Germany Conference will be organized around several key themes & topics. These include:

• Regulation & regulatory developments. At the 2023 Gaming in Germany Conference, you can expect to hear the latest news on regulation, enforcement & licensing.
• Industry concerns. We will be looking at several issues that are currently holding back licensed operators, such as game and bet type approval, as well as viable approaches to mitigating these issues.
• Market data. The success of Germany’s market regulation can only be judged in relation to developments regarding the size of both the regulated and black markets. The exact nature of these developments is a matter of considerable controversy among German stakeholders. We will aim to provide an additional measure of clarity by discussing not only the available data, but also the applied methodologies.
• Media & marketing. In addition to advertising rules, the 2023 Gaming in Germany Conference will also address the practicalities of connecting with your desired target audience. Hear from and meet affiliate and media partners, as well as relevant technology providers.
• Responsible gaming. As in other European gaming jurisdictions, responsible gaming and player protection remain extremely relevant topics. We will highlight the latest regulatory developments, as well as the most up-to-date technological solutions to address these issues

Specifically, this International Masters of Gaming Law masterclass will look at the development and introduction of marketing restrictions across multiple European jurisdictions, and what operators and their marketing partners can do to prepare for and remain compliant with current and future regulatory developments.
