Welcome to IAGR2026. We’re looking forward to four-days of insights and networking as we explore our conference theme, ’Steady Hands, Shifting Ground: Advancing regulation in a connected world’. 
Tuesday October 20, 2026 1:00pm - 1:30pm GMT-05
Since opening its online gambling market in 2021, the Netherlands has rapidly developed a more expansive regulatory approach. This session with the Dutch Gambling Authority will explore how and why that shift occurred and what other jurisdictions can learn from the transition.
With a newly released government vision now prioritising the prevention of gambling harm beyond individual player protection, the session will examine the market dynamics that prompted this change, and how Dutch policy is adapting. The discussion will also explore future regulatory directions and opportunities for international collaboration to create safer gambling environments.
