European Gaming Congress: A remarkable comeback

The European Gaming Congress (EGC) is back and better than ever after a two-year break! Join Trueplay in the vibrant city of Warsaw on October 30–31, 2023, for one of the most anticipated events in the iGaming industry. Compliance experts, regulators, and professionals from Poland, Italy, Spain, France, and other countries will gather to discuss the recent updates on sector regulation.

Location: InterContinental Warsaw 

In preparation for the EGC, we spoke with Zoltán Tűndik, one of the co-founders of Hipther, the organization behind it. Our conversation delved into the evolution of the event and highlights that await the attendees. Zoltán also shared several tips on how to get the most out of it.

How has the European Gaming Congress evolved over the years to meet industry professionals’ and stakeholders’ changing needs and expectations? 

I believe the emphasis on real-time regulatory updates, hands-on compliance guidance, and fostering meaningful networking opportunities has become crucial, and we use it as a foundation for this conference. 

Additionally, this year, the Congress has emphasized often overlooked jurisdictions to enhance attendees’ understanding of the European gaming landscape. EGC uniquely covers areas that undergo significant changes, which aren’t addressed at other Hipther events like the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit or the MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit.

Can you share some highlights guests can look forward to at the conference?

The European Gaming Congress in Warsaw promises an insightful day for visitors.

One of the specials will be a panel discussion on the Polish iGaming market. Experts will go over the current state of the iGaming sector in Poland, telling us about recent regulations, market trends, and challenges.

Another session will focus on iGaming in Greece, Spain, Ukraine, and Portugal. Attendees will learn about the intricacies of these markets, particularly regulatory changes, growth potential, and industry-scale issues. 

There will also be a discussion around the convergence of cybersecurity, responsible gaming, AI, and anti-money laundering. This panel will emphasize the importance of a secure, ethical, and sustainable environment in the sector. Trueplay’s CBO Alex Antsyferov will join the talk, and I hope he’ll enjoy it and share many fresh ideas.

Have you prepared something brand-new for this year’s Congress?

We’ll have the debut of the European iGaming Excellence Awards. As the name suggests, their purpose is to honor the companies that have contributed significantly to the European iGaming scene. 

Hipther has introduced 15 streamlined award categories, emphasizing the most critical aspects of iGaming operations.

For businesses and professionals interested in attending, what advice do you have to help them get the most out of the European Gaming Congress?

Attending the event can be a highly beneficial experience for industry professionals. However, I noticed that sometimes they don’t plan their time in advance, which results in stress instead of enjoying the event. So, it’s better to review the event agenda beforehand and identify the sessions and panels most relevant to your interests.

The connections people make at the venue can be invaluable for future collaborations, so don’t forget about networking.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend the iGaming industry’s most significant event. Mark your calendars for October 30–31, 2023, and join us in Warsaw.
