The ICE Regulatory Programme
Partnering for a safer, fairer, regulated future
At ICE, we firmly believe the future of gaming is built on robust, fairly regulated markets. It is our mission to support the industry in the ongoing effort to combat the dangers of illegal markets around the world.
We don’t want to just talk about the problem at ICE, we want to help you solve it.
To this end, we have developed an enhanced, exclusive programme designed specifically for the world's regulators and legislators to share experiences and help shape future policy decisions.
Exclusive benefits for regulators:
The ICE Regulatory Programme provides a suite of premium access and tailored resources to ensure your time at ICE is productive, insightful, and focused on the industry’s most pressing regulatory challenges.
1. Invitation to the World Gaming Gala (WGG): The ultimate Sunday kick-off
As a participating regulator or legislator, you will receive an exclusive invitation to the World Gaming Gala (WGG)—the industry’s most prestigious evening event.
Elite networking: Held on the Sunday evening before the show floor opens, the WGG is designed to connect you with the industry’s most influential VIPs—CEOs, founders, and global leaders—in a relaxed, high-end setting, all off-the-record.
2. Deep dive intelligence: Discounted access to The World Regulatory Briefing (WRB)
Gain critical, high-level intelligence at the World Regulatory Briefing (WRB)—the must-attend event for the regulatory community.
Significant value: Regulators and legislators enrolled in this programme receive an exclusive 25% discount on WRB access, as well as all other paid to attend conferences and workshops. This is your premier source for the latest global regulatory knowledge and strategic policy discussions.
3. Opportunity for closed-door discussions
Brand new for 2026, we have introduced three new thematic roundtables to the WRB dedicated to solving the challenges of the illegal market.
These will be in addition to the traditional country-specific roundtables, providing an in-depth focus on regulation in emerging and established markets.
These roundtables, as with the rest of the WRB, for the first time, will all follow Chatham House rules after 11:15am, allowing you to address sensitive policy matters, share best practices, and collaboratively develop solutions with international colleagues.
4. Sustainable Gambling Zone
In addition to a great lineup of policy-focused sessions on the World Regulatory Briefing, regulators can attend panels and product demos on the latest innovations in player protection technology within our free to attend Sustainable Gambling Zone on the ICE show floor.
This gives you the opportunity to explore the latest innovations in self-assessment and exclusion tools, risk detection systems, KYC solutions and clinical approaches to the treatments of those in need.
