The 2025 edition of the Gaming in Germany Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, and promises to be a key forum for anyone engaged in Germany’s regulated online gambling sector. Hosted at the DoubleTree Hilton Ku’damm in Berlin, only a short distance from the iconic Kurfürstendamm, the event will explore the most pressing developments shaping the country’s iGaming environment.
Focus on Regulatory Updates and Black-Market Dynamics
This year’s conference is expected to delve deeply into the evolving regulatory landscape, including the highly anticipated review of Germany’s 2021 State Gambling Treaty. Alongside this, discussions will cover black-market growth, the effectiveness of IP blocking, and the rising demand for enhanced player protection.
A focal point of the agenda will be the persistent challenges surrounding the influence of unlicensed offshore operators.
Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Germany, emphasized this issue, noting,“Like in many other European markets, calls for stricter regulations have put black-market growth in the spotlight. In Germany in particular, there exists significant controversy about the true market share of offshore operators. We intend to share specific and concrete data at this year’s conference. We are very happy that the German regulator will be present, as well as all the major industry voices. If you are in any way interested in the future of the German iGaming market, this event is not to be missed.”
