HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026 to Dedicate Full Day to Responsible Gaming and Player Safety

HIPTHER, a prominent event organizer in the gambling sector, is set to significantly amplify its focus on responsible gaming initiatives and player protection at its upcoming Prague Summit in 2026. This commitment will materialize through the introduction of a dedicated 'Responsible Gaming & Player Safety Day,' designed to propel crucial conversations around consumer welfare and the long-term viability of the industry.

This specialized segment, meticulously curated by the Institute for Gambling Regulation (IPRH), is scheduled for the second day of the summit, March 25, and will occupy the esteemed Main Focus Stage. Organizers have indicated that the thematic day's agenda will confront a range of urgent issues. These include evolving regulatory trends, the complexities of compliance, the pervasive challenge of illegal gambling and its contemporary forms, alongside a deep dive into various player-centric safety topics.

Attendees can anticipate a gathering of distinguished specialists and acknowledged experts from across these vital domains. These professionals, possessing established reputations, will contribute their insights and guide the discourse on what are universally recognized as foundational topics for the modern gambling industry. Among the notable participants already confirmed is Justyna Grusza-Głębicka, a respected Attorney-at-law and the founder of Kancelaria Adwokacka dr Justyna Grusza-Głębicka, who will lend her expertise to the discussions.

HIPTHER has already outlined several key discussion points that will feature during the day. These include an examination of 'IRIS: one player, one view, across operators,' which explores unified player data management. Further topics involve an analysis of 'How much does illegal gambling cost the Czech Republic,' scrutinizing the economic impact of unlicensed activities, and a strategic debate on whether the 'IPRH model [can] expand beyond the Czech Republic,' assessing its scalability and broader applicability. Additional significant topics are expected to be announced as the event approaches.

The broader HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026 is scheduled to take place over two days, from March 24 to March 25. The event will be hosted at the OREA Hotel Andels Praha, a venue formerly recognized as Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Prague. This dedicated focus underscores HIPTHER's proactive stance in fostering a secure and sustainable environment within the global gambling landscape.
