19 Jan 2026
CC5.2
Innovating Lotteries Conference

How are the convergences between iGaming and lotteries verticals influencing lotteries regulation?
Are digital lotteries the new norm, and how might regulators and operators need to adapt?
How can lotteries maintain their distinctiveness which has historically been protected by monopolised markets, and how will liberalisation of the market influence lotteries regulation?
How might co-operative, data-led approaches to player safety enhance player responsibility and encourage channelisation?
