ICE Barcelona 2026 was more than an event

Across exhibitions, regulatory forums, leadership discussions, and focused side engagements, one message was clear:
Africa’s iGaming future depends on collaboration, credibility, and context-appropriate policy.

For the African iGaming Alliance (AiA), our engagements in Barcelona reinforced key priorities for the year ahead:

• Working alongside regulators to support frameworks that protect players while enabling sustainable growth
• Promoting balanced, workable tax and compliance approaches that strengthen channelisation
• Deepening trust-based partnerships between regulators, policymakers, and licensed operators

We were proud to engage with regulators from across the continent and global industry leaders committed to building responsible, well-regulated African markets.

The conversations in Barcelona were not an endpoint , they were a catalyst.

Africa is increasingly shaping its own place in the global gaming dialogue.
