Alongside the main program, the conference will also feature smaller breakout sessions covering practical topics such as Dutch gambling license renewal procedures and AML/AMLA compliance requirements for operators.

Gaming in Holland Founder Willem van Oort said the 2026 edition will focus heavily on collaboration between stakeholders in addressing illegal gambling activity.

“How do we reclaim lost market share from increasingly aggressive illegal competitors? Obviously, there are no simple solutions, but that doesn't mean that stakeholders in the regulated market are powerless,” he said. “As all key decision makers and stakeholders in the regulated Dutch gambling market will be present in Amsterdam, I am certain that we can get a fruitful discussion started."
