Eastern European Gaming Summit | 26-27 November 2025 | Sofia, Bulgaria
Ana-Maria Baciu joined the panel dedicated to the evolving regulatory frameworks across Southeast Europe during the 2025 edition of the Eastern European Gaming Summit (EEGS), rolled out during the first day of the event. The session titled “New Regulatory Models in SEE – Lessons from Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia & Serbia“, brought together leading industry voices in a vivid and insightful discussion that touched on several high-impact themes current for the gaming ecosystem in SEE, including:
- B2B licensing regimes across jurisdictions
- Taxation models and their impact on market evolution
- Technology-enabled measures
- Regulatory fragmentation across jurisdictions and the expectation for closer cooperation among regional authorities
During the interventions, Ana-Maria shared practical considerations from her experience regarding achieving a more predictable and harmonized regulatory environment that balances business considerations, compliance, and consumer protection.
Regarded by clients and peers as “a go-to person in the Romanian market”, Ana-Maria brought to the panel a perspective shaped by both day-to-day advisory work and long-term contributions to consultations and specific discussions regarding the Romanian legal framework. With over 25 years of experience in regulatory and intellectual property law, she is consistently recognized as a Global Market Leader in Gaming & Gambling (Chambers and Partners) and Leading Individual in TMT: Gambling (Legal 500 EMEA).
EEGS is one of the most influential regional events promoting the sustainable gambling industry. This year’s conversation once again underscored a shared objective: supporting the development of a responsible, competitive, and forward-looking gaming landscape in Southeast Europe.
