The iGaming world is buzzing as the iGB Affiliate prepares for its massive 2026 edition. Moving to its new home at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via from January 20–21, 2026, the event is set to be nearly double the size of its 2022 predecessor.
Whether you are a solo traffic owner or a global tech provider, choosing the right way to enter is the first step toward a successful week. Here is everything you need to know about the three pass types and how to make the most of the “Barcelona Era.”
iGB Affiliate 2026 Barcelona: Three Ways to Attend the Event
1. The Affiliate Pass: The Golden Ticket (Free)
This pass is exclusively for those who own traffic- bloggers, streamers, SEO experts, and social media publishers.
- The Cost: $0$ (Complimentary).
- The Catch: Verification is strict. You must provide two documents (like screenshots of your traffic stats or affiliate backend) to prove you are a legitimate affiliate.
- Why Attend: You get access to the Affiliate Lounge, which features its own bar, live DJs, and a dedicated space to escape the noise and talk shop with fellow publishers.
2. The Supplier Networking Pass: The Growth Engine (€650)
If you build the tools that make the industry run- payment gateways, CRM software, or AI-driven marketing tech- this is your entry point.
- The Cost: €650 (often with early-bird discounts up to 40% if you book early).
- Networking Highlight: Use the iGB Introducing feature in the official app.6 It allows you to pre-book meeting tables on the show floor so you aren’t wandering aimlessly hoping to bump into a lead.
3. The Operating Networking Pass: The Brand Power (€650)
Designed for the “buyers” of the industry- the casino and sportsbook brands looking to recruit new affiliates.
- The Cost: €650.
- Networking Highlight: Access to the VIP Lounge (sponsored by Betfred), a luxury space perfect for high-level contract negotiations or hosting potential top-tier partners over snacks and drinks.

What’s New for 2026?
Barcelona isn’t just a change of scenery; it’s a change of experience. Keep an eye out for these new zones:
- iGB Hangout: A social hub featuring tattoo salons, live DJs, and immersive brand experiences.
- iGB Oasis: An outdoor “Sky Garden” designed for fresh-air networking and soaking up the Spanish sun.
- Pulse @ iGB: A dedicated stage for sessions on the “scary” side of AI, shifting SEO landscapes, and reaching Gen Z bettors.
Pro-Tips for Attendees
- The “Challenge 25” Rule: This is a strictly 18+ event. Bring your passport; security is tighter than most business conferences.
- The Official App: Registration triggers a “Magic Link” to the app. Log in early to see the attendee list- the best meetings are usually booked 2 weeks before the doors even open.
- Location: The event is at Hall 8 (North Access). It’s well-connected by metro, but with 11,000+ people expected, taxis will be a challenge- plan your commute early.
