Two weeks to go until 2026 Regulating the Game conference in Sydney
There are now just two weeks to go until the 2026 edition of gambling regulation forum Regulating the Game, which will bring together regulators, policymakers, researchers, operators and technology leaders to examine the future of gambling regulation, sector direction, innovation and operational compliance capability, and safer gambling outcomes.
A key feature of the opening program will be Pitch!, the conference’s unique innovation forum to be hosted this year at the Yallamundi Rooms, Sydney Opera House on the evening of 9 March. Pitch! showcases practical, evidence-led solutions designed to strengthen regulatory and sector capability – bridging policy intent and operational reality across casinos, pubs, clubs and online environments.
The 2026 Pitch! program reflects both emerging solutions and proven capability deployed at scale. Confirmed presenters include:
GetEvive – Smart Gambling Support: Introducing Evive Australia
BNDRY – The AML Compliance Platform Tailored to Australia’s Pubs and Clubs
Focal – Prevent: Real-Time Risk Identification and Safer Gambling Messaging
LivOn Productions – Assist: The Missing Player in Safer Gambling
Angel Australia – Smart Gaming Table Technology
Mindway AI – The Virtual Psychologist Approach
Responsible Gambling Council – RG Check Accreditation
PaySafeGo – A purpose-built AML/CTF solution for gaming venues
Pitch! is curated to surface ideas and solutions that are already informing practice – or are ready to be adopted, evaluated and scaled. The program brings together incumbent providers with global footprints alongside emerging disruptors and specialists, offering a clear view of how technology, research and governance frameworks are being translated into operational capability.
As regulatory settings continue to evolve – particularly across AML/CTF and harm minimization – regulators and industry benefit from a forum that highlights credible approaches that can strengthen integrity, reduce operational friction and improve consumer protection outcomes.
“Pitch! is designed to put ideas in the open – a showcase of practical solutions and applied thinking from both established leaders and new entrants, across venues and platforms operating at scale,” said Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch and Founder of Regulating the Game.
“With two weeks to go, we are in final registration territory for both the conference and the inaugural Global Awards Dinner.”
Newson noted that this represents the final opportunity for attendees to register for the conference and the Global Awards Dinner. To register, visit www.regulatingthegame.com.
Inside Asian Gaming will have a strong presence at RTG, with IAG’s Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott chairing Day 2 of the conference and Managing Editor Ben Blaschke moderating a panel session titled, “Black Market Gambling: Drivers, Dynamics and Policy Challenges”.
