IAGR Welcomes Mindway AI as Silver Sponsor for 2026

The International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) announced the incorporation of Mindway AI as a Silver sponsor for the 2026 cycle. This collaboration aims to strengthen the organization's agenda on topics related to player protection, the responsible application of artificial intelligence, and regulatory education, reflecting the industry's priority in developing robust oversight frameworks in global markets.

Mindway AI: Technological Solutions for Player Protection

Mindway AI, a Danish company recognized for its focus on player protection, has developed tools based on neuroscience and artificial intelligence for the early detection and prevention of problem gambling and risky behaviors. The company operates with operators, platform providers, regulatory authorities, and governments in over 73 jurisdictions, covering a base of 16.5 million active players monthly.

Its technology focuses on combining automated analysis with human intervention, enabling continuous monitoring without increasing friction for players or regulators. The collaboration with IAGR reinforces the mission of both parties: to implement technology standards focused on social responsibility and proactive risk management in online gambling.

Mindway AI's Participation in IAGR's Educational and Technical Agenda

As a Silver sponsor, Mindway AI will support several key areas:

• Educational programs for regulators and operators
• Technical working groups on emerging technologies
• Collaborative initiatives focused on responsible gaming and effective regulatory oversight

The CEO of Mindway AI, Rasmus Kjaergaard, will share his insights at the IAGR2026 conference, scheduled for October 19-22 in Lima, Peru. He will participate in the session “AI for Regulators: Practical Tools, Real Use Cases, and Responsible Oversight,” dedicated to examining real applications of artificial intelligence in the service of regulatory bodies.

“Mindway AI is proud to join IAGR as a Silver sponsor and support its mission of fostering international collaboration and practical regulatory training. Our objective is to employ technology responsibly to enhance player protection. I am excited to take part in the panel in Lima at IAGR2026 to explore practical applications of AI in regulatory scenarios, demonstrating how the convergence between artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and human experience can create safer gaming environments worldwide, as we already do in 73 jurisdictions with 16.5 million active players per month.” — Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO of Mindway AI

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Gaming Regulation

As artificial intelligence is deployed on a larger scale in the gaming industry, regulators face technical decisions about where its use is appropriate and where a more cautious approach is essential. The “AI for Regulators” panel at IAGR2026 will focus on:

• Automated document review
• Detection of anomalies and unusual patterns
• Case prioritization and support for analytical intelligence
• Tools for translation and governance

The emphasis will be on realistic operational tools, verifiable safety mechanisms, and the value that AI brings to international coordination and responsible oversight, particularly when jurisdictions have different policies regarding technological innovation.

Institutional Strengthening and Joint Initiatives

The CEO of IAGR, Kevin Mullally, emphasized that Mindway AI's expertise and support will enrich the Association's annual program. He stated:

“We appreciate Mindway AI's support as a Silver sponsor; they are an innovative company dedicated to player protection, in line with IAGR's mission and our initiatives to facilitate the adoption of new technologies. Their expertise will strengthen our annual activities and add value to groups like the Technology Working Group, the Model Rules Committee, and other emerging projects.” — Kevin Mullally, CEO of IAGR

Mindway AI's participation will be evident in IAGR's technical working groups and in the harmonization of regulations, particularly in the development of models to balance innovation and social protection in regulated markets. This collaboration arises in a context of accelerated AI implementation, where regulatory challenges require dialogue and efficiency testing before any mass adoption.

Perspectives for the B2B Sector and Relationships with Regulators

For operators and platform providers, adding Mindway AI to IAGR's educational and technical agenda offers a direct channel to understand regulatory methods and limits in the application of AI, as well as access to best practices in player protection. The case also illustrates the growing weight of technology in defining responsible gaming policies. The alliance aims to provide pragmatic solutions, but skepticism still exists regarding the standardization of technical criteria and cost-benefit relationships across different brands and jurisdictions.

In conclusion, IAGR's annual cycle for 2026 is shaping up to be a benchmark for those actively participating in regulatory events in the sector, marking the roadmap for the frameworks that will define the immediate future of technology oversight applied to gaming.
