iGB L!VE Launches Exclusive iGaming M&A Summit
London’s status as a key global financial center will serve as the backdrop to the launch of the industry’s first WorldGaming M&A Summit (WGM&A). Taking place July 1 and serving as the curtain raiser to iGB L!VE, the WGM&A represents the only dedicated forum for corporate development officers and M&A advisers working in iGaming.
The WorldGaming M&A Summit brings a dedicated focus on mergers and acquisitions in iGaming. Convening leadership from public and private operators alongside sector-focused investment banks, legal advisers and corporate finance specialists, attendees will benefit from a highly targeted opportunity to engage with key decision-makers, originate deal flow, assess strategic fit, and gain insights from active market participants.
The event provides direct access to London’s deep sector expertise built over decades of transactions, and its unparalleled ecosystem of strategic acquirers, potential targets, leading advisory firms, and business leaders across the M&A value chain.
“M&A is a business imperative in the current iGaming landscape, and this event features insights from sector-specialist advisers and industry leaders including Morgan Stanley’s Laurence Hopkins, Paolo Della Rovere and Bally’s Robeson Reeves,” said industry expert and WorldGaming Chairman Michael Caselli. “Also featuring Strategic Intent Sessions, industry leaders will host roundtables to explain their growth theses, define their M&A criteria and share their businesses’ vision for consolidation and growth. Following the sessions, attendees are invited to the M&A Summit cocktail reception and dinner, where conversations will continue and deals will be cemented.”
“Legislative and fiscal developments including the increase in U.K. gaming taxes which were announced by the government in the November 2025 budget, evolving European regulations, and wider global legislative adjustments, have prompted the introduction of the World Gaming M&A Summit,” said WorldGaming Managing Director Stuart Hunter.
“The WGM&A is part of a broader program of business-critical events taking place at iGB L!VE. With so many investors and decision makers based in London, iGB L!VE is closer to the people who are critical to the future development of the iGaming industry.”
