The Eastern European Gaming Summit (EEGS) has announced an exclusive free webinar aimed at helping mid-sized iGaming operators navigate the complexities of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and secure maximum value during a business exit.

The online event, titled “EXIT-READY: WHAT MID-SIZED OPERATORS SHOULD FIX BEFORE TALKING TO BUYERS,” will take place on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 13:00 CET.

In today’s competitive iGaming M&A landscape, a company’s true value is determined by much more than revenue alone. Hidden licensing gaps, compliance risks, unexpected tax exposure, and unresolved contractual issues can quietly slash a final sale price—or derail a transaction entirely. This upcoming session will provide operators with a practical roadmap to identify these vulnerabilities early, protect their hard-earned business value, and maximize their leverage before entering negotiations.

Learning from a Legal and M&A Expert

The webinar will feature Atanas Mihaylov, Counsel at Kinstellar, as the keynote speaker. With over 20 years of experience advising on major M&A transactions, corporate restructurings, and complex tax matters, Mihaylov brings deep legal and strategic insight into the operational and regulatory hurdles businesses face when preparing for an acquisition.

Key Topics on the Agenda

During the 60-minute session, attendees will explore several critical components of deal readiness:

• Revenue Quality & Valuation: What buyers actually look for during due diligence and how hidden risks impact final deal value.
• Licensing & Compliance: Navigating change-of-control approvals, AML protocols, and responsible gambling frameworks.
• Tax & Legal Risks: Spotting and neutralizing potential liabilities before they become deal-breakers.
• Player Claims & Contracts: Managing outstanding commercial issues to keep negotiations moving forward smoothly.
• Exit Strategy: Practical, actionable steps to eliminate last-minute surprises at the negotiating table.

The webinar is designed not only for operators actively planning an immediate exit or exploring new investment avenues, but also for executives focused on driving up their company’s long-term market value.
