Slotegrator launches report examining 2026 trends in the iGaming sector

The iGaming industry is entering a period of regulatory shifts and increased attention to environmental, social, and governance practices, according to Slotegrator's new 2026 trends report compiled with input from global experts.

Developed in collaboration with more than 50 professionals from international companies, the report examines how changing regulations, technological developments, and evolving player expectations are set to influence the sector in 2026. Contributors include operators, regulators, affiliates, and marketing specialists from Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The publication reviews upcoming regulatory changes across the most active iGaming markets, offering an overview of compliance issues that operators and suppliers may encounter in the coming year. It also explores the growing role of ESG principles in guiding business decisions and industry standards.

According to Slotegrator, the research identifies new expectations around transparency and ethical practices, particularly in marketing and data management. The study also discusses the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in regulatory compliance and fraud prevention, along with developments in cybersecurity, biometric know-your-customer (KYC) systems, and deepfake detection tools.

Beyond compliance, the report presents emerging areas of interest such as the integration of Web3 and stablecoins in gaming ecosystems, the use of gamified well-being initiatives, and the evolution of marketing models grounded in emotional intelligence and data ethics.

Insights in the report were drawn from companies and organizations including SiGMA Group, Clarion Gaming, DEVILS, Endorphina, Amigo Gaming, Aviatrix, ZingBrain AI, BGaming, NGM Game, Peter & Sons, CasinoRIX, and ICS-digital. Media contributors included iGamingNews, Casino Guru, and GamblingTalk, alongside perspectives from regional experts and leading game studios.
