SBC Summit 2025 Shines Light on Player Protection

The SBC Summit 2025, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal from September 16-18, is set to be a pivotal event for the sports betting and iGaming industry. One of the key focuses of the conference will be the Player Protection stage, dedicated to addressing the need for operators to genuinely embed safety into their business models.

Rasmus Sojmark, the Founder and CEO of SBC, has emphasised that player protection has evolved into a core business strategy. The Player Protection stage, one of six dedicated conference stages at the event, will explore various topics, including the relationship between regulation and unintended consequences, asking whether strict compliance measures push players towards unregulated markets.

The Player Protection stage on September 16 will feature insights from professionals across the sector. On September 17, the focus shifts to practical solutions to player protection, discussing themes such as AI's impact on player engagement, the persistence of unlicensed sites, global approaches to affordability and risk assessment, and who has the best approach to protecting players.

The final day, September 18, will look at the latest tools and technologies for keeping players safe, including the use of AI-powered player monitoring, platform collaboration for player protection, and player protection in cryptocurrency gaming.

The Player Protection stage will welcome a diverse range of speakers, including Savo Bakmaz, CEO of Maxbet, Dr. Maris Catania, Director of Player Sustainability at LeoVegas, David Foster, Head of Regulatory Affairs at Entain, Richard Hayler, Managing Director of IBAS, Dr. Alexandra Koerner, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer at Grand Casino Baden AG, Katie Reynolds-Jones, Chief Marketing Officer at GamStop, and Monica Shafaq, CEO of Gordon Moody. These industry leaders will discuss topics such as harm minimization, regulatory expectations, and sustainable gambling.

The SBC Summit 2025 is expected to address the tightening of global frameworks and rising consumer expectations. The event will include discussions on commercial casinos, iGaming, sports betting, tribal gaming, and other related topics.

With extensive exhibition space and thousands of delegates, the SBC Summit 2025 promises to be a vibrant and insightful event for the sports betting and iGaming industry.
