Regulating the Game seeks innovation pitches for 2026 conference
The Regulating the Game (RTG) conference has announced the return of Pitch! @RTG in 2026, scheduled to take place on March 10 at the Yallamundi Rooms, Sydney Opera House.
Applications are now open for organizations, entrepreneurs, and researchers to present solutions in gambling regulation, compliance, and technology.
Pitch! will again serve as a platform for presenting initiatives in RegTech, artificial intelligence, blockchain oversight, public policy, safer gambling, and financial crime compliance.
Selected applicants will be allocated a 10-minute presentation slot, plus a question-and-answer segment, before an audience of regulators, policymakers, operators, and sector stakeholders.
Pitch! is positioned within RTG as a session focused on sharing regulatory solutions and advancing sector practices. The session is structured to facilitate engagement between regulatory authorities and commercial innovators.
Proposals are being accepted across several areas, including:
Regulatory technology applications for compliance efficiency
Design-led product integrity and embedded compliance
Risk management tools for anticipating regulatory developments
Public policy frameworks and regulatory reform models
Digital asset and cryptocurrency oversight mechanisms
Cybersecurity systems and digital risk mitigation

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) applications in gambling policy
Harm minimization and responsible gambling tools
The 2026 edition follows previous iterations of Pitch!, a session introduced as part of Regulating the Game’s agenda to align technological innovation with regulatory objectives.
Paul Newson, founder of Regulating the Game, said the Pitch! session remains integral to conference programming.
“Pitch! is the heartbeat of innovation within the conference, where we elevate emerging talent, catalyse sector capability, and connect industry and regulatory stewards with cutting-edge solutions. It’s about fuelling the conversation and fast-tracking progress,” Newson said.
Interested parties can submit applications via regulatingthegame.com/pitch-rtg. Pitch! presentations are expected to be concise and focused on practical solutions. The session will be held on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at the Yallamundi Rooms in the Sydney Opera House.
In addition to Pitch!, the 2026 Regulating the Game conference will feature an expanded exhibition showcase and will introduce the RTG Global Awards.
Now entering its sixth edition, Regulating the Game is an international forum focused on regulatory operations, governance, and policy. It convenes regulators, sector professionals, researchers, and commercial operators from global markets. The event is developed to explore evolving sector challenges and promote structured dialogue between public and private actors.
