Press release.- The organisers of Regulating the Game, a leading international gambling law and regulation conference, have announced Andrew Vouris, chief executive officer of Entain Australia and New Zealand, as a Featured Speaker at its 2026 edition. The conference will take place from March 9–11, 2026, at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.

Andrew was appointed CEO of Entain Australia and New Zealand in August 2025, bringing almost two decades of leadership experience in wagering, operations, and innovation at some of Australia’s largest wagering operators.

His career spans senior leadership roles in Tabcorp’s multi-billion-dollar wagering and media business, heading global operations of a pioneering esports and wagering platform, and partnering with private equity to build early-stage ventures in esports. Across these diverse roles, Andrew has been deeply engaged in navigating complex regulatory and compliance challenges.

A long-time advocate for compliance-led and customer-focused business models, Andrew has consistently championed the view that sustainable wagering businesses are built on strong governance, integrity, and a commitment to customer protection.

Since stepping into the CEO role at Entain Australia and New Zealand, Andrew has set clear priorities: to embed a culture of “win, but not at all costs”, return to the basics of selling bets, and lead innovation while ensuring customers are protected.

Andrew said: “I am grateful for the opportunity to speak at Regulating the Game 2026, which provides a unique global platform for advancing dialogue between regulators, industry, and thought leaders. At a time when public expectations and regulatory demands are at an all-time high, I look forward to sharing Entain’s vision for balancing sustainable growth, compliance leadership, and customer protection.”

Paul Newson, principal at Vanguard Overwatch and founder of Regulating the Game, welcomed Andrew’s participation: “Andrew’s leadership vision for Entain, and his extensive track record across wagering and esports, bring an important perspective to Regulating the Game 2026. His focus on culture, compliance, and innovation aligns strongly with the values of the conference, and we are thrilled to feature his insights as part of this year’s program.”
