Gibraltar’s latest prediction markets regulation marks a major step in the jurisdiction’s ambition to define a clear, responsible framework for the sector. Following Minister Nigel Feetham KC MP’s own announcement of Gibraltar’s prediction-market direction, the Minister will now open Prediction Markets Summit Europe, taking place in Gibraltar on 9–10 November 2026.

Against this backdrop, Prediction Markets Summit Europe will bring the sector’s regulatory, commercial and technology questions directly into the jurisdiction now setting one of Europe’s most closely watched precedents.

The Hon Nigel Feetham KC MP, Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, HM Government of Gibraltar, will deliver the opening address at the summit. His participation comes at a defining moment, as Gibraltar moves from early regulatory intent to an active framework for prediction markets.

The Hon Nigel Feetham KC MP said:

“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.

Gibraltar has always been prepared to act where others hesitate. We took a deliberate decision to create a licensing framework for prediction markets because we recognise the enormous opportunity they represent, economically, technologically, and for the global financial ecosystem. Our approach is quality over numbers. We want credible, regulated operators who contribute to what Gibraltar has built here over three decades.

I look forward to welcoming industry leaders to Gibraltar in November.”

Produced by Eventus International, Prediction Markets Summit Europe is a focused, senior in-person forum convening regulators, platform operators, financial market participants, investors, legal and compliance leaders, technology providers and market infrastructure specialists for high-level discussion and commercial engagement.

The programme will address the issues now moving from theory into practice: European regulatory classification, MiCA implications, cross-border licensing, event resolution, market integrity, blockchain and AI, institutional participation and Gibraltar’s role as a regulated launchpad for responsible innovation.

For industry stakeholders, the timing is significant. The summit is no longer simply anticipating regulatory change; it is convening the industry as Gibraltar places a live framework on the table. Participation offers an early opportunity to help shape the conversations, partnerships and commercial direction of a fast-emerging market in Europe.

The upcoming focused pre-summit LinkedIn Live webinar, “Prediction Markets Under the Regulator’s Lens: Classification, Trust and Responsible Growth”, Wednesday, 22 July 2026, 12:00–12:45 CEST, will also preview key themes around classification, trust and responsible growth ahead of the summit in November.
