THE DETAILS

Regulating the Game 2027 Sydney will build on the strong success of the 2026 conference, returning to Sydney to convene industry leaders, regulators, policymakers, compliance professionals, researchers, and innovators for three days of substantive dialogue, capability building, and strategic insight.

The 2027 edition will explore the issues shaping the future of the gambling sector, including artificial intelligence and its practical applications, game design and product innovation, financial crime and AML/CTF, black market risks, racing, sport and betting integrity, VIP and high-value customer settings, and the intersection of cryptocurrency and gambling. From emerging technologies and product evolution to regulatory posture, public policy reform, consumer protection, and customer experience, the program is designed to stimulate curiosity, test assumptions, and drive informed discussion across the full spectrum of regulatory and industry interests.

The conference will also see the return of the Masterclass Series, offering expert-led, practice-focused sessions designed to deepen understanding, sharpen strategy, and address real-world compliance, policy, and regulatory challenges.

A further highlight of the 2027 program will be the continued evolution of Pitch!, which will be integrated into the conference plenary rather than staged as a separate evening event. This will give presenters the opportunity to showcase ideas, products, and proven solutions before the full conference audience, elevating visibility, broadening engagement, and strengthening the exchange between innovators, established operators, suppliers, regulators, and other sector leaders. Pitch! will continue to spotlight bold thinking, practical capability, and high-quality solutions from both emerging innovators and established market participants operating at scale.

The RTG Global Awards will also return in 2027, building on their strong foundation with the addition of several strategic new categories. Open to entries from around the world, the awards recognise excellence in leadership, innovation, integrity, and impact across the gambling sector. They celebrate individuals and organisations that are lifting standards, advancing safer gambling, strengthening governance and compliance, and contributing to a more ethical, sustainable, and trusted industry.

As always, Regulating the Game is designed to spark bold conversations, challenge orthodoxy, and advance better practice across policy, regulation, and industry. With an expanded agenda, enhanced global recognition, and a program designed to connect ideas, people, and practical solutions, RTG 2027 Sydney promises to be our most impactful edition yet.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

Regulating the Game is designed to foster connection, collaboration, and meaningful exchange across the sector. The conference brings regulators, policymakers, compliance professionals, industry leaders, researchers, advisors, and innovators into the same environment, creating space for open dialogue, fresh thinking, and relationship-building across disciplines and jurisdictions.

From plenary sessions and Masterclasses to Pitch!, the Global Awards Gala Dinner, and the conversations that unfold between sessions, the program is structured to encourage meaningful engagement throughout the event. Delegates will also have access to the Conference Lounge - a dedicated space to meet, work, network, continue discussions, or simply pause for coffee or a meal between sessions. Designed to support both informal interaction and purposeful connection, the Lounge will provide a central hub for conversation, collaboration, and ongoing exchange across the three days.

 

PITCH! 2027

Pitch! is a flagship feature of Regulating the Game, designed to surface ideas, technologies, capabilities and partnerships that are shaping - or have the potential to shape - regulatory practice, industry performance and safer gambling outcomes. Integrated into the conference plenary, it provides a high-visibility forum where emerging innovation, proven solutions and scaled market capability are presented side by side, allowing regulators, operators, suppliers and practitioners to test assumptions, compare approaches and explore what may come next.

Pitch! 2027 will feature a series of short, high-impact presentations delivered to the full conference audience, giving presenters the opportunity to showcase solutions, initiatives and ideas in front of the sector’s key decision-makers and influencers. The format is designed to maximise exposure, sharpen attention and stimulate broader discussion across the conference program.

Pitch! welcomes both commercially deployed solutions and emerging ideas, with an emphasis on clarity: what is proven, what is evolving, what is being scaled, and why it matters. It is a platform for bold thinking and practical capability, grounded in real-world context, regulatory relevance and operational insight.

2027 RTG Global Awards

The 2027 Global Awards Gala Dinner will take place in the renowned Wentworth Ballroom at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, a landmark setting known for its heritage and refined sophistication.

Following the strong success of the inaugural awards in 2026, the RTG Global Awards will return in 2027 with the original six categories expanded by several additional strategic categories, broadening the program’s recognition of excellence across leadership, compliance, safer gambling, innovation, integrity, and sector impact. The awards are a natural extension of the forum Regulating the Game has built - one that convenes leading voices from across regulation, industry, policy, and advisory to advance better practice and recognise those setting the standard.

With a dedicated host and entertainment throughout, the Global Awards Gala Dinner will offer an evening of recognition, connection, and celebration - bringing together a broad cross-section of the global gambling community to honour achievement and mark the continued growth of this important industry forum.
