What Was European Gaming Congress 2025?
European Gaming Congress was held in Warsaw, Poland, on 30 and 31 October 2025. Organised by Hipther, it brought together iGaming operators, payments technology vendors, and regulators for a dedicated Central European gaming and technology gathering, covering online gambling, payments, and emerging technology. The official page sat on the European Gaming Congress site. It is a broad gaming and technology summit, not a dedicated crypto event, though digital assets featured given the region's growing crypto payments interest.
Warsaw's position as Poland's largest financial and technology centre gave Hipther's summit genuine regional significance within its broader portfolio. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our crypto summits list.
Key Themes at European Gaming Congress
The two-day agenda spanned Central European gaming and technology:
- iGaming and online gambling regulation.
- Payments and trading technology.
- Affiliate marketing across European markets.
- Emerging technology, including blockchain.
The regional Central European focus gave the summit a distinctive cross-border character within Hipther's broader portfolio of regional gaming and technology gatherings, including Budapest's GamingTECH CEE and Prague's Gaming & TECH Summit. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Poland's MiCA Framework Shaped This Summit
Poland's Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego (KNF) serves as the national competent authority for crypto-asset service providers under MiCA, fully applicable across the EU since December 2024, giving European Gaming Congress's crypto payments discussions a genuinely settled regulatory backdrop. This October 2025 edition convened nearly a year into MiCA's full applicability, distinguishing its conversations from Hipther's earlier regional summits that predated this framework's complete implementation.
Warsaw's deep technology talent pool and Poland's position as Central Europe's largest economy gave the summit genuine convening power for gaming and payments technology vendors evaluating regional expansion under this now-mature regulatory environment.
