ICE Barcelona 2026 felt like a live arcade for grown-ups — playful, busy, and very on-brand for iGaming. Our team attended the event to stay close to the platforms teams are building and to note what continues to shape release readiness when products operate under regulatory constraints.
Key Insights from the Event
AI is now part of day-to-day delivery workflows. The QA focus stays on verification discipline: validation, ownership of approvals, and predictable outcomes when AI touches production behavior.
Automation keeps showing up as a speed lever. Teams talk about AI-enabled routines as a way to keep release execution structured, repeatable, and sustainable across frequent change.
Compliance stays in the critical path for launches. Coverage planning starts early, and it stays active as rules evolve across regions and product segments.
Live casino raises the stakes for correctness in real time. Stability and behavior under public-facing gameplay scenarios remain a sharp priority in quality discussions.
