Atlaslive, a global B2B iGaming technology provider, has wrapped up a productive week at ICE Barcelona 2026, where the industry gathered at Fira Barcelona Gran Via from 19–21 January to define key priorities for the year ahead.

With ICE Barcelona further strengthening its position as a core meeting place for iGaming stakeholders, the event programme highlighted a consistent market direction: regulatory evolution is accelerating, safer gaming requirements are expanding, and operators need product ecosystems that can scale across multiple jurisdictions without compromising player protection. These themes were reflected through sessions such as the World Regulatory Briefing focused on global policy and compliance frameworks, as well as workshops on cybercrime & fraud, safer gaming, and the iGaming customer journey.

For Atlaslive, the event conversations reinforced a clear operational reality across the industry—operators are building growth strategies around platforms that support regulated market expansion, risk control, and faster, more reliable UX delivery.

Atlaslive representatives also completed several interviews during the show, discussing platform strategy and industry expectations across operations, marketing, security, compliance, and responsible gaming.

“ICE Barcelona made it clear that the industry is entering a much more structured and mature phase,” said Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive. “The focus is shifting from experimentation to efficiency—how fast you can launch, how well you can scale, and how confidently you can operate in regulated environments.”

Across its meetings with operators and partners, Atlaslive discussed market entry demands, infrastructure readiness, and the practical execution behind long-term retention. Topics included reducing friction in onboarding, payments, and player support, as well as integrating responsible gaming tools into the core platform UX rather than positioning them as separate add-ons.

As 2026 progresses amid continued regulatory updates and rising user expectations, Atlaslive will keep advancing platform development to support compliance readiness, safer play tooling, and faster delivery of product experiences across regulated markets.

Certification isn’t something operators “add later” if things go well. In most cases, it’s a foundational choice—one that affects audits, integrations, expansion, and stability from the start.

Atlaslive is a certified dynamic platform, and this article reflects practical operational experience. So why do strong operators prioritize certified platforms early?

Trust Is Built Through Platform Behavior

In iGaming, trust doesn’t come from messaging. It comes from performance. Certification helps establish predictable standards for security, data handling, transactions, and incident response.

• Operators work with clearer processes and fewer ad-hoc decisions.
• Players experience stability, fairness, and responsible data practices.
• Partners (PSPs, suppliers, affiliates) face less uncertainty.

Easier Market Entry and Smoother Alignment

Entering a new market involves constant interaction with regulators, auditors, PSPs, and local partners. Certified platforms provide a recognizable foundation, reducing friction.

• Operators reduce last-minute changes and rework during audits.
• Players see fewer disruptions when rules differ between jurisdictions.
• Partners approve and integrate faster due to familiar operating models.

Stability and Risk Reduction at Scale

As operations expand, risk management becomes operational, not theoretical. Certification supports it through documented controls and structured incident response.

• Operators can manage teams and markets with less operational chaos.
• Players face fewer interruptions and platform issues.
• Partners reduce commercial risk through predictable behavior.

Growth that doesn’t require constant rebuilding

Competitive advantage in 2026 is about scaling without breaking systems. Certification supports long-term readiness.

• Operators can plan growth without restructuring core systems.
• Players experience continuity across expansion and growth spikes.
• Partners cooperate more confidently.

Timing Matters More Than Intention

Many operators pursue certification—the difference is when. Early certification aligns with architecture and processes. Late certification often requires retrofitting and operational disruption.

Conclusion

Certification strengthens platform reliability, regulatory alignment, and trust across the ecosystem. It makes market entry smoother and scaling more predictable. Atlaslive is built around this logic: certification as long-term readiness, not a one-off milestone.
