AffPapa is excited to announce that the 5th edition of the annual AffPapa iGaming Awards will be held at the historic Real Casino de Madrid.
Taking place on May 20, the AffPapa iGaming Awards 2026 ceremony will act as the closing highlight of the AffPapa Conference Madrid.
The chosen venue, Real Casino de Madrid, is located in the heart of Spain’s capital. Its founding dates back to 1836, when a group of young progressives sought a peaceful, apolitical place for gatherings. Today, it has transformed into one of Madrid’s most prestigious institutions, with a grand early 20th-century palace, majestic halls, and private salons that make the venue an elegant and sophisticated setting for large-scale celebrations.
