GLI returns as EEGS regulators roundtable sponsor

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) will return as the official Regulators’ Round Table Sponsor at the Eastern European Gaming Summit (EEGS) 2026, the event’s organisers have confirmed.

The announcement continues a partnership that reflects a shared commitment to regulatory development and industry integrity across Central and Eastern Europe.

A regional regulatory forum

EEGS 2026 is scheduled for 25–26 November at Inter Expo Center in Sofia, running alongside BEGE Expo 2026. The two-day event brings together regulators, operators, suppliers, affiliates, and industry leaders for high-level discussion, networking, and strategic exchange.

As Regulators’ Round Table Sponsor, GLI will support one of the summit’s most prominent sessions, which convenes policy experts and regulators from across Europe to examine the region’s evolving compliance landscape and emerging industry standards.

The organisers of BEGE Expo said:

“We are extremely pleased to continue our partnership with GLI, whose contribution to the global gaming industry and regulatory development is unparalleled. Long-term partnerships such as this are a testament to the shared values and trust we have built over the years.”

GLI’s global footprint

Founded more than 35 years ago, GLI has grown into one of the gaming sector’s most widely recognised testing and certification authorities. The company serves over 710 jurisdictions worldwide, covering land-based gaming, iGaming, sports betting, and lottery sectors.

Its role at EEGS underscores a broader industry trend, where testing bodies and technical standards organisations are playing an increasingly active part in shaping regulatory dialogue, particularly in markets across Central and Eastern Europe that continue to refine their frameworks.

With several CEE jurisdictions undergoing licence renewals, market restructuring, or updated compliance requirements in the period leading into 2026, the Regulators’ Round Table at EEGS carries added significance for operators and suppliers seeking clarity on the direction of regional policy.

GLI’s continued involvement is likely to reinforce the session’s technical credibility and its usefulness as a benchmarking forum for regulators comparing approaches across borders.
