Only Three Weeks to Go Until Scandinavian and Nordic Gaming Show 2025: The 7th Annual Scandinavian and Nordic Gaming Show 2025 is just around the corner. On 23 – 24 October 2025, the Nacka Hotel in Stockholm will welcome senior executives from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland for two action-packed days of talks, panels, and networking focused on the future of Nordic gaming.
As regulatory landscapes evolve, licensing systems shift, and technology continues to advance, the Nordic market is at a fascinating crossroads. SNGS 2025 is here to give leaders the insights and connections they need to thrive, offering access to policymakers and a chance to build partnerships with those shaping European gaming.
Meet the Experts Sharing Their Insights
Even before the event kicks off, industry leaders are sharing their thoughts on what makes the Nordic market so dynamic.
Mika Kuismanen, CEO of Rahapeliala Ry, says: “The Nordic countries, and currently Finland in particular, are interesting to watch in terms of gaming. A lot has happened and will happen soon. It is great and important to be able to chat and exchange ideas with other experts in SNGS 2025.”
Margarita Cruz, Director/Founder at Diamond28 Consulting Limited, talks about the unique atmosphere of Scandinavian and Nordic Gaming Show and her session topic:
“For years, SNGS has been the place where regulators, operators, suppliers, and experts come together to shape the future of gaming. It doesn’t just spark dialogue; it sets the Nordics apart as the gold standard for innovation and regulation.
My topic, Expansion Strategies for Scandinavian Operators Beyond the Nordics, will uncover how operators can seize exciting opportunities in fast-growing EU and LatAm markets, with hotspots like Peru and Brazil leading the way.”
Mikkel Taanum, Counsel at Bird & Bird, emphasises why the show is so important:
“The Nordic region represents one of the most sophisticated and forward-thinking gaming markets globally, where regulatory innovation and player protection go hand in hand. Events like the Scandinavian & Nordic Gaming Show are absolutely vital for bringing together industry leaders, regulators, and stakeholders to tackle the complex challenges we face in this rapidly evolving landscape.
I’m particularly excited to participate in two critical panels: ‘What Insights Have We Learned: Balancing Regulation and Innovation’ and ‘Addressing Regulatory Gaps: Closing the Loophole for Unlicensed Operators Targeting Nordic Players’.
These discussions are essential because the Nordic markets are at the forefront of creating sustainable regulatory frameworks that protect consumers whilst fostering innovation. The challenge of unlicensed operators targeting Nordic players is particularly pressing, as it undermines the carefully constructed regulatory systems that these countries have developed. By sharing insights and collaborative approaches, we can strengthen the integrity of the Nordic gaming ecosystem and set a global standard for responsible regulation.”
Johann Sigurdsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Bwloto, adds:
“I’m thrilled to be speaking at the Scandinavian & Nordic Gaming Show 2025, where the region’s most forward-thinking leaders gather to shape the future of iGaming. With its powerhouse agenda and unmatched networking opportunities, SNGS is the ultimate stage for driving innovation across the Nordic markets.”
Peter-Paul de Goeij, Managing Consultant at Quod Bonum, shares his perspective as Chairperson:
“For years now, SNGS has been bringing regulators, operators, suppliers, and experts together in one place. It is not just a Nordic meeting; it is a lighthouse for the entire European online gaming arena. The show strengthens the market by creating dialogue and by positioning the Nordics as a reference point for the highest standards.”
