MGA Games presents their book The Future Is Now: presente y futuro del juego online en España, an essential guide for the evolution of the sector
MGA Games presented in its new facilities at Parc Tecnològic del Vallès (Barcelona) their book The Future Is Now: presente y futuro del juego online en España (The Future is Now: the present and future of online gambling in Spain), compiled and edited by the company, as the grand finale to their 20th-anniversary celebrations.
MGA Games clients, collaborators and friends gathered to attend the event held in the newly inaugurated offices, presented by the company. A new open space, which encourages creativity and allows collaboration and meetings between all company employees. “It is a space that reflects our way of working. That breaks with the traditional vertical management structures allowing for collaboration, the creation of synergies and teamwork”, explained the CEO and founder of MGA Games, Joan Sanahuja, in his welcoming remarks.
The objective of the meeting was to encourage the sector to participate in this important publication that collates “two decades of a journey through the history of online gambling, its regulation and the role of technology which, undoubtedly continues to lead the way for our sector” as explained in the introduction of the book. In this sense, the work is a sample of MGA Games’ commitment to the sector. An innovative company, MGA Games, chooses to invest and allocate its own resources to achieve informative work that generates knowledge and helps the online gambling sector grow and evolve.
For the CEO of MGA Games, it was essential to create a work like The Future Is Now: presente y futuro del juego online en España to analyse where the sector is going and what the future holds. “For us, it is the way to move forward to what is to come,” explained Joan Sanahuja. The gambling industry can evolve even further. It can be more attractive, more active … And this is precisely our goal: to move forward into the future with a more innovative and interactive product.”
After Joan Sanahuja‘s introduction, a round table began on the strategic issues regarding the present and future of online gambling in Spain addressed in the book. The debate was moderated by the journalist and writer Óscar Delgado and the speakers were José Antonio Giacomelli, Managing Director of MGA Games; Víctor Sánchez, Manager of GoldenPark.es; Jorge Hinojosa Bolívar, CEO of Jdigital; Juan Heredero Fiel, Marketing Manager of Codere; Aurora Merino Salas, CEO of Asensi Technologies; Juan Espinosa García, DGOJ General Director from 2014 to 2020; Miguel de la Fuente, from Tecnalis, and Patricia Lalanda Ordóñez, partner at Loyra Abogados.
During the round table, issues discussed included the regulatory framework in Spain, a result of the proposed new royal decree for safer environments, and the proposal for a new amendment to the state gambling law. And how these projects will determine the short-term future of the sector within the regulated framework.
Another topic addressed was marketing and, specifically, how to convey the sector’s situation regarding the new regulation on advertising. In addition, how operators are adapting to the new legal conditions and, in parallel, how to combat the perception of public opinion.
The customisation of the offer based on habits and demands of users and the exploration of alternatives to current payment systems was another of the points discussed. Together with the analysis of content towards that which it is necessary to evolve in the content proposal. Slot games, new techniques, and the immersive and mobile factors.
And finally, the introduction of 5G in the Spanish online gambling sector and its role in the development of gamification were also discussed.
The presentation ceremony was attended by many of the book’s collaborators. Great leaders in the sector whose testimonies and professional visions have made this publication an essential guide for understanding the present and future of the sector in Spain. Joan Sanahuja thanked all of them for their participation and for making this ambitious project possible: Albert Daudé, Andrea Vota, Camilla Wright, Gonzalo De Osma, Javier Sacristán Franco, José Antonio Giacomelli, Juan Espinosa García, Kevin Harrington, Marta De Pablos, Marteen Haijer, Miguel de la Fuente, Mikel López de Torre, Patricia Lalanda Ordóñez, Sergio Rupérez, Víctor Sánchez and, especially, Oscar Delgado Chesa, responsible for coordinating the book.

SOFTSWISS Rolls Out Red Carpet for F1 Film – and a Tech-Fueled Vision of iGaming
As F1: The Movie races into theatres worldwide, SOFTSWISS, a global tech company providing software for the iGaming industry, has chosen to support the film as a reflection of its commitment to innovation, performance, and teamwork. With former Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello serving as the company’s Non-Executive Director for Latin America, SOFTSWISS draws a meaningful parallel between the high-speed world of racing and the fast-moving, data-driven nature of online gaming.
SOFTSWISS joined the momentum by hosting exclusive premiere screenings for its partners and clients in São Paulo and Malta. Guests experienced the adrenaline of Formula 1 and Hollywood glamour, with red carpets, champagne towers, and photo zones setting the scene for a celebration that bridged entertainment and technology.
The highlight of the event was a personal video greeting from Rubens Barrichello, former Formula 1 driver and Non-Executive Director for Latin America at SOFTSWISS, who shared his emotional response to the film and reflected on how closely it mirrors both his racing legacy and his current work in tech.
Ahead of the event, SOFTSWISS released a “react video” in which Barrichello watched and commented on the movie trailer. In the video, he draws a compelling parallel between Formula 1 and the iGaming industry, emphasising the role of precision, teamwork, and real-time decision-making in both worlds.
“In the world of iGaming, we also deal with large amounts of data, adjust solutions in real time, and rely on teamwork. Just as a driver trusts engineers and mechanics, we trust our developers and analysts. Both worlds share the same values, and I am happy to be part of each of them,” comments Rubens Barrichello.
Rubens Barrichello has been a SOFTSWISS partner since 2024, when he was appointed as Non-Executive Director for Latin America. Known for his analytical approach and data-driven mindset on the track, Barrichello now supports the company’s business growth across one of the world’s fastest-growing iGaming markets.
His presence bridges two industries deeply rooted in Latin American cultural passion – motorsport and digital entertainment.
By partnering with figures like Barrichello and aligning with major cultural moments like the F1 movie premiere, SOFTSWISS demonstrates its commitment to innovation, regional relevance, and storytelling that resonates with players and partners alike.
