Vienna Readies for iGaming DACH Summit 2025

Vienna is set to become the center of attention for the iGaming industry in December — the Eventus International is hosting the second‑annual iGaming DACH Summit from 3–4 December 2025 at the Hilton Vienna Park. As regulators, operators, developers and innovators from the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) converge, the summit will tackle a fast-evolving market shaped by regulatory changes, advertising restrictions, and growing demand for safe and localized gambling experiences. 

What to Expect: Networking, Regulation & Regional Insights

The 2025 Summit theme — “Driving Growth Across the Region” — underscores its dual focus: unlocking market opportunities while ensuring compliance and responsible gaming. The event opens on December 3 with an elegant networking evening, setting the tone for collaboration in a relaxed environment over cocktails. 

Day Two (4 December) features a packed agenda of keynote speeches and panel discussions. Topics include:

• Regulatory developments across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
• Player protection, responsible gaming and compliance best practices
• Market comparison: how regulatory differences affect operator strategies and opportunities
• Advertising restrictions and their impact on growth and marketing
• Local game development and localization strategies for the DACH market
• Player retention, loyalty, and effective user‑experience under tight regulatory regimes 

The summit concludes with farewell drinks — a final chance for attendees to forge meaningful industry connections and partnerships. 

Why the Summit Matters Now

The DACH region’s iGaming market is increasingly drawing attention from operators and investors. As regulatory frameworks evolve, especially in Germany under its interstate treaties, the landscape creates both challenges and opportunities. 

For companies navigating this environment, the iGaming DACH Summit offers a rare chance to:

• Get up-to-date on compliance, licensing and regulatory changes
• Understand market-specific constraints — such as advertising restrictions, deposit limits, and player‑protection requirements in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. 
• Learn localization strategies for games and marketing to cater to preferences across the different DACH markets
• Build relationships with regulators, legal advisors, operators, affiliates, payment providers and other stakeholders crucial for regional expansion. 

In an industry where regulation, safety, and market trust are paramount, this summit provides a platform not only for growth, but for building legitimacy and sustainable operations across the DACH region.

Who Should Attend: From Operators to Regulators

The summit is tailored to a wide spectrum of professionals in the iGaming ecosystem, including:

• Online casinos, sports‑betting and lottery operators
• Game developers and platform providers
• Payment solution providers and financial‑compliance services
• Marketing, legal and compliance officers
• Affiliates, business developers, and consultants looking to enter or expand within Germany, Austria, and Switzerland 

With over 50+ industry players and regulators expected, the summit offers both deep industry insights and high‑value networking opportunities. 

A Strategic Moment for Europe’s Booming iGaming Sector

Europe’s digital gambling sector continues to expand rapidly — recent market studies estimate that overall gaming revenue across the continent is surging as online penetration, mobile adoption, and demand for regulated platforms rise. 

In this context, the iGaming DACH Summit arrives at a strategic moment — when regulation, innovation and market demand intersect. For operators and stakeholders serious about entering or scaling in the DACH region, the summit might well chart the path forward.
