Gaming in Holland reveals partial speaker list for June event

Gaming in Holland Conference is due to take place on Thursday, June 4, 2026, in Amsterdam, with the event already revealing the names of its first speakers, which will include multiple prominent industry and regulatory insiders, as well as independent advocates and specialists.

In a press statement shared with the media, Gaming in Holland has confirmed the names of some of these speakers, including:

• Arjan Blok, CEO, Nederlandse Loterij
• Luka Pataky, Executive VP, AI & Innovation, Bragg Gaming Group
• Senior Netherlands Gambling Authority representative

The Gaming in Holland’s 2026 edition will run under the "Let’s reclaim the market" motto, a nod to the increasing challenge the regulated market is receiving from offshore brands.

The discussions will seek to focus on how licensed operators can help in keeping unlicensed operators at bay, with the national regulator, the KSA, also stepping in to strengthen these efforts.

Commenting on the latest edition, Gaming in Holland founder Willem van Oort commented:

"Competition from illegal operators is a growing concern, not just in the Netherlands but across multiple European jurisdictions. Besides highlighting the issue, I think it is very important to exchange ideas on how stakeholders in the regulated industry can use their market power to help contain and perhaps even reverse this development. With so many key decision makers joining us in Amsterdam, the 2026 Gaming in Holland Conference will be THE place to discuss this issue."

The KSA just recently said it will place a greater emphasis on targeting illegal suppliers in a bid to strengthen the regulated market.
