Europe’s iGaming Boom: Spotlight on Italy and Germany


The European online gaming scene is filled with opportunities, with Italy and Germany leading the way. Explore these impactful iGaming events in Europe: The 2nd Annual Online Casino Summit Italia (OCSI) and the 4th Annual iGaming Germany (iGG).

Italy: A Thriving Market Poised for Growth

Italy’s online casino market is expected to reach US$4.03 billion by 2028, driven by a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.85% (2024 – 2028). This significant growth creates an attractive opportunity for both established and emerging operators. While a streamlined licensing system requires a significant investment, it fosters a fairer and more transparent playing field, ultimately benefiting the entire industry. The Online Casino Summit Italia 2024, held in Rome on 9 – 10 May, equips you with the knowledge and connections to thrive in this dynamic market.

Italy’s Renaissance: Embracing Innovation

The recent Italian tech innovations and regulatory reforms present exciting opportunities:

  • Revamped Licensing: A more efficient process with a €7 million fee and a limit of five operator licences eliminates “skin websites.”
  • Cash-to-Digital Solutions: Solutions like OKTO’s “phygital” payments, which enable cash top-ups at physical locations, and PVR (Punti Vendita Ricarica) networks broaden the player base and promote responsible gambling.
  • Combating the Black Market: Learn from experts on how to combat illegal operators and ensure a healthy, competitive environment.

Germany: An Innovative Market Ready for Collaboration

Germany’s iGaming market is projected to reach US$6.96 billion by 2028. This surge is fueled by two key factors: legalisation in 2021 and the establishment of a central regulatory body, the Joint Gambling Authority (GGL), in early 2023. This regulatory framework, coupled with a strong user base, particularly among younger demographics, is attracting online gambling operators seeking licences. However, fostering a sustainable and responsible environment requires collaboration between all industry stakeholders. iGaming Germany 2024, to be held in Munich on 5 – 6 June, connects industry leaders to address key areas for a healthy market:

  • Harnessing Technology: Explore how AI and VR can enhance user experiences and attract new demographics.
  • Streamlining the Market: Discover how to navigate the licensing process and unlock Germany’s full potential.
