Taking place on October 15 in Madrid, the conference will bring together representatives from the DGOJ, Jdigital, the National Police and legal experts to discuss key challenges facing the regulated market.
Regulation and political developments in focus
The Gaming in Spain Conference 2026 will take place this Thursday, October 15, at the ECIJA Auditorium in Madrid. The agenda will focus on regulatory developments in Spain’s iGaming market and their implications for operators and suppliers.
Confirmed speakers include Mikel Arana, Director General of the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ); Justo Sancho, Director of Safe Gambling at the DGOJ; Jorge Hinojosa, Director General of Jdigital; David Calvete Sarasa, Chief Inspector of the National Police; and Xavi Muñoz Bellvehí, Managing Partner of ECIJA Barcelona.
The conference will address planned regulatory reforms, including cross-operator deposit limits and a centralized algorithm designed to detect signs of problem gambling. These measures are among the issues shaping discussions around Spain’s online gambling framework.
The political landscape adds another dimension to the event. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap general election for November 29, 2026, following Parliament’s rejection of housing-related measures. The conference will provide an opportunity to hear different perspectives on the regulatory environment as the country enters a period of political uncertainty.
