19 Jan 2026
CC5.2
Innovating Lotteries Conference

How are the convergences between iGaming and lotteries verticals, especially their gamification features, influencing regulatory developments in lotteries industries? What could be the implications for national and / or international lottery regulatory frameworks, and how might co-operative, data-led approaches to player safety enhance player responsibility and encourage channelisation? What dynamics are shaping the relationship between state and private lottery operators?
