The Event Convenes Global Regulators
Regulating the Game, a leading international gaming law and policy conference, is happy to reveal Andrew Vouris, Ceo of Entain Australia and New Zealand, as a Featured Speaker at its 2026 edition. The conference will take location from 9-11 March 2026 at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.
Andrew was appointed CEO of Entain Australia and New Zealand in August 2025, bringing nearly twenty years of management experience in betting, operations, and innovation at a few of Australia's largest operators.
His profession spans senior management functions in Tabcorp's multi-billion-dollar wagering and media service, heading worldwide operations of a pioneering esports and wagering platform, and partnering with personal equity to construct early-stage endeavors in esports. Across these diverse functions, Andrew has actually been deeply engaged in browsing intricate regulatory and compliance obstacles.
A long-time advocate for compliance-led and customer-focused organization models, Andrew has regularly promoted the view that sustainable betting services are constructed on strong governance, integrity, and a dedication to client protection.
Since stepping into the CEO role at Entain Australia and New Zealand, Andrew has set clear concerns: to embed a culture of "win, but not costs", return to the fundamentals of offering bets, and lead innovation while ensuring consumers are safeguarded.

At a time when public expectations and regulative needs are at an all-time high, I look forward to sharing Entain's vision for balancing sustainable growth, compliance management, and customer defense," Andrew stated.
