#ReclaimTheMarket: A Central Theme for 2026

In line with Gaming in Holland’s renewed mission statement, “Let’s reclaim the market,” the 2026 conference will focus on how regulated operators and stakeholders can work together to contain the growing influence of illegal gambling providers.

The agenda will also address:

• The impact of the new Dutch government

• Ongoing tax rate discussions

• Market development and sustainability

• Marketing regulations

• The role of AI in the regulated market

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. Beyond highlighting the issue, it is crucial that stakeholders exchange ideas on how the regulated industry can use its market power to contain and potentially 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 these challenges.”
