A year-end summit examining the shape of regulated sports wagering in the Gulf: licensing pathways, data rights, integrity partnerships with leagues, and the fantasy sports crossover. Delegates include licensed operators, rights holders, integrity bodies, and the technology vendors building the region’s first regulated wagering stacks. The closing debate asks whether a GCC-wide wagering compact is realistic by 2030.
