Regulating the Game 2026: two weeks to go with Pitch! line‑up confirmed and Awards night Ahead
The final countdown to Regulating the Game 2026 Sydney has begun, with registrations now open for a tightly curated program that convenes regulators, policymakers, researchers, operators, and technology leaders to address the future of gambling regulation, industry innovation, and safer gambling excellence.
A key feature of the opening program is Pitch!, the conference’s high-impact innovation forum hosted at the Yallamundi Rooms, Sydney Opera House (9 March 2026). 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.
Pitch! 2026: A balanced innovation showcase
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.
Ideas, evidence and capability—showcased for real-world impact
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 minimisation – 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.”
