Gaming in Germany Conference Reveals Initial Agenda for November 10 Event
The 2026 Gaming in Germany Conference has announced its agenda for November 10 in Berlin. Topics include the 2021 State Gambling Treaty evaluation, black market enforcement via #ReclaimTheMarket, new product permissibility, and licensing updates across four states. The program assembles regulators and industry leaders for direct engagement on these fronts.
SCCG Take — The agenda signals regulators and operators will confront treaty shortcomings and offshore leakage head-on, with new verticals as a potential release valve. Direct attendance offers the clearest channel to shape outcomes before formal changes solidify.
The 2026 Gaming in Germany Conference has released its initial agenda for the event set for Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in Berlin. The one-day program centers on the evaluation of the 2021 State Gambling Treaty, enforcement against the black market, and the permissibility of emerging product categories.
As reported by Focus Gaming News, the conference will examine strategies to counter offshore offerings and reclaim the market for licensed operators. Discussions will also address online casino table game licensing in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein, and Baden-Württemberg, the status of remaining gambling monopolies in Germany and Austria, and ongoing market re-regulation in Austria.
Regulatory Evaluation and Industry Views
The opening block delivers a regulatory update on the GlüStV 2021 evaluation. A senior GGL representative provides the keynote, followed by industry perspectives from the president of the Deutscher Online Casinoverband and the president of the Deutscher Sportwettenverband. A moderated discussion explores threading the needle between public opinion and economic viability, with a CEO from an unnamed firm and additional speakers still to be confirmed.
Black Market Response and New Product Sessions
A dedicated block examines the threat of the black market and effective enforcement measures to create friction for offshore operators. Later sessions turn to new products and market opportunities, specifically prediction markets, sweepstakes, and eSports betting, with input from a senior partner at Melchers Law Firm and a partner at another legal practice. The event takes place at the DoubleTree Hilton Ku’damm, 100 metres from the Kurfürstendamm, with registration now open.

Germany's 2021 treaty hasn't stopped offshore leakage, and regulators know it. This agenda—black-market countermeasures, new product permissibility, state-by-state table game licensing—is the blueprint for what comes next. We watch Germany closely because every regulated market wrestles with the same friction: channeling players without strangling economics.
