Gibraltar has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of new regulations for prediction markets, marking its intention to establish a clear and responsible framework for this burgeoning sector. Minister Nigel Feetham KC MP, who recently announced the regulatory direction for the jurisdiction, is set to open the Prediction Markets Summit Europe on November 9–10, 2026, in Gibraltar.
This summit is strategically timed, as it will directly engage with the regulatory, commercial, and technological issues impacting the prediction markets sector within one of Europe’s most scrutinized jurisdictions. Minister Feetham will deliver the opening remarks, coinciding with a pivotal moment in Gibraltar's evolution from regulatory plans to implementing a functional legislative framework.
"I am very pleased to be participating in Prediction Markets Summit Europe and to speak about Gibraltar’s approach to the regulation of prediction markets," stated Minister Feetham. "Gibraltar has always been ready to take action where others may falter. We intentionally decided to create a licensing framework for prediction markets because we see the vast economic, technological, and global financial opportunities they present. Our focus is on quality rather than quantity; we aim for credible, regulated operators that enhance Gibraltar’s established reputation over the past thirty years. I look forward to welcoming industry leaders to Gibraltar in November."
Produced by Eventus International, the summit is an exclusive in-person gathering that will convene regulators, platform operators, investors, legal experts, compliance professionals, technology providers, and specialists in market infrastructure to engage in high-level discussions and networking.
The agenda will tackle critical topics transitioning from theory to practice, including European regulatory classifications, implications of MiCA, cross-border licensing, event resolution, market integrity, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and Gibraltar’s emerging role as a regulated environment promoting responsible innovation.
With a live regulatory framework being established, the timing of the summit is crucial for industry stakeholders. Participants will have the unique chance to influence the dialogue, forge partnerships, and define the commercial trajectory for this rapidly evolving market in Europe.
Ahead of the summit, a pre-summit LinkedIn Live webinar titled "Prediction Markets Under the Regulator’s Lens: Classification, Trust and Responsible Growth" is scheduled for July 22, 2026, from 12:00 to 12:45 CEST, providing a sneak peek into key themes related to classification, trust, and responsible growth leading up to the November event.
