Where do players go offshore? Slotegrator explores how regulations and taxation impact channelization in selected European iGaming markets. Learn more today! Slotegrator has released a new PDF report that dives into the details of how different European markets’ regulations and taxation systems could be affecting their channelization rates, looking at countries like Sweden, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, and more. The aim of the report is to find what levels of regulation are acceptable for players, and where they drive players to black market operators — and it’s not as simple as you think.  In regulated markets, players have a choice: they can play at licensed casinos that operate under national regulations, or they can seek alternatives in offshore platforms. The degree to which players opt for licensed operators is known as channelization, and it is one of the most important factors in determining the success of a regulated market. Channelization depends on multiple factors, including taxation rates, advertising restrictions, and the availability of attractive games and promotions.  If the regulatory framework is too strict or the licensed offerings fail to meet player expectations, gamblers will turn to unlicensed alternatives. This not only reduces tax revenue for the government but also puts players at risk, as offshore platforms may not offer the same level of consumer protection. Players are always looking for engaging experiences, a diverse game portfolio, seamless payment solutions, and attractive bonuses. If licensed platforms fail to deliver, players will have little incentive to stay within the regulated ecosystem. But understanding and addressing these challenges requires deep market insights. Navigating European iGaming markets requires operators to make informed decisions. Slotegrator’s latest report analyzes relevant regulations and tax systems in selected European markets to see which common laws are most likely to send players to black market operators.  Download  the report now to learn which markets have established the regulatory systems that help the regulated market flourish — and which haven’t. “Conducting careful market research is an essential step in starting an online casino,” says Ataur Abeer, Sales Manager at Slotegrator.   “This report is absolutely crucial for getting a handle on how regulations in different markets affect channelization rates, showing operators which European countries have the healthiest regulated markets.” Related article: Slotegrator Shares Tips to Attract Gen Z Casino Players

SBC Summit Rio successfully wrapped up last month, welcoming 12,000 attendees and recording an outstanding 200% growth compared to its first edition. As the first major gathering since Brazil’s gaming market opened, SBC Summit Rio played a pivotal role in connecting businesses by setting the stage for operators, suppliers, and affiliates to align on strategies and explore business opportunities.  “Since January 1st, we have had a fully regulated market, making this the first major event in Brazil under the new framework. This is a key reason to be here, combined with the great quality of events at SBC,” commented Galera Bet CEO Marcos Sabia . “Building relationships among all participants is why we’re here, and SBC fosters this kind of energy and opportunities—not just at the booths but throughout all the events we experience during our time here,” he added. The 2025 event set a new benchmark, making a bold move to Riocentro, Latin America’s largest convention center. With an expo floor spanning 30,000 sqm, 400 exhibitors and sponsors, and a diverse mix of attendees, including C-level executives and senior decision-makers comprising 42% of the audience, the expo was transformed into the ultimate deal-making hub. Notably, all operators already licensed in Brazil were present at the event.  Sean Telford , Head of Operations at KTO , had this to say about the quality of attendees: “We are a one-market operator—we focus solely on Brazil. All the suppliers we work with, including payment providers, CRM companies, and everyone we interact with on a daily basis, are here. Bringing the entire industry or all the suppliers together is quite challenging, so for us, having everyone we need to talk to in one place allows us to strengthen relationships in person, which is obviously extremely important to us.” Beyond the bustling expo floor, four themed conference stages and a workshop room ran in parallel, delivering high-level insights. The conference featured iconic moments, including a keynote from Brazilian football legend Bebeto , who officially opened the event. Meanwhile, Brazilian government officials, including Senator Irajá Abreu and Ministry of Finance representatives Carolina Yumi and Daniela Olimpio , provided crucial insights into the country’s regulatory landscape, giving attendees a first-hand perspective on market developments. Rasmus Sojmark , CEO and Founder of SBC said: “This edition cemented SBC Summit Rio as the defining event for Brazil’s gaming industry. The caliber of decision-makers in attendance, and the quality of conversations taking place proved that this event is no longer just about opportunity. We’ve created a platform where business gets done, connections are made, and the industry moves forward together.” The expansion of SBC Summit Rio was highlighted by several new and exciting features, including the Affiliate Leaders Summit . This addition proved invaluable in a newly-regulated market, where both compliance and competition are at the forefront and was essential in helping operators adjust to new promotional rules while leveraging affiliate expertise to maximise player acquisition and engagement. Recognising the power of digital influence in brand promotion, SBC Summit Rio also introduced another initiative—the Influencer Academy , in partnership with local marketing agency Propane. With influencers playing an increasingly vital role in Brazil’s gaming space, this educational workshop was designed to help influencers, operators, and affiliates navigate the complexities of gambling promotion. Beyond delivering key insights, the workshop ensured a strong presence of influencers at the event, giving operators a direct channel to connect with local personalities and expand their market reach. With Brazil’s payment ecosystem presenting unique challenges, SBC Summit Rio also introduced the Payment Expert Summit as a key addition to this year’s event. The summit provided crucial insights for operators looking to adapt their payment strategies to local preferences. Closely tied to topics like KYC, fraud prevention, and compliance, it featured a dedicated conference agenda and show floor space, ensuring that payments took center stage alongside other key industry verticals. Last but not least, SBC Summit Rio elevated the attendee experience with the launch of the Food Festival Zone, offering complimentary food and drinks to Full Access Pass holders, operators, and affiliates. Featuring nearly 30 food trucks spread across the venue, attendees could enjoy a variety of culinary options using pre-loaded wristbands, making networking breaks more convenient and enjoyable. Serving as the perfect finale to a record-breaking summit and blending business and entertainment in spectacular fashion, THE INFINITY Rio wrapped up the summit just in time for the carnival, delivering one of the biggest parties the betting and gaming world has ever seen. The night was headlined by DJ Afrojack and the Brazilian duo Dubdogz , who brought electrifying energy to INFINITY Rio—a brand that debuted at SBC Summit 2024 in Lisbon and has since become an integral part of the SBC experience. Carolina Yumi de Souza from the Ministry of Finance , who spoke at the event, highlighted its importance for the entire ecosystem. “The occurrence of this event, with the number of people and companies present, is very important in demonstrating the trust that regulation has brought to the market and the confidence in the functioning of institutions in Brazil.” Next year, SBC Summit Rio will return to Riocentro, Latin America’s largest convention center, from March 3-5, 2026.

The  ASEAN Gaming Summit  made yet another massive splash this year, welcoming over a thousand attendees, dozens of top industry expert panelists, over a dozen exhibitors and an expansive array of top sponsors. The event’s focused format allowed for direct contact with speakers – for the audience to tap their knowledge before, during, or after their diverse and highly informative panels. Plus, networking opportunities were a shining light again this year. The industry was also celebrated extensively during the  Asia Gaming Awards , which took place on 18th March – shining the spotlight on industry pillars, up-and-comers and specific products that push the meaning of cutting edge. Pre-empted with a day of special workshops aimed at exploring leadership and management opportunities, jurisdictions, regulations, compliance and opportunities, the event quickly accelerated over the following two information-packed days. Top array of regulators, experts and industry heads The   first full day of the summit  was opened by a special State of the Industry Address by the Chairman of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation – Alejandro H. Tengco. Given the event’s location in Manila, the  PAGCOR   Chairman was quick to highlight the  growth of the Philippines’ online sector  – which shows extreme potential for continued success, as well as the diverse offerings from integrated resorts – as more properties open and redefine luxury. A series of intense panels over the day examined everything from  regulation to AI ,  KYC , the  online market , the necessities of tech (and its rapid advancement), and emerging markets such as Thailand and the UAE. Topping off the evening was the  Asia Gaming Awards  – which added special new categories this year and brought in new contenders to battle it out with established giants. But that wasn’t all! A  full day of top-geared panels   was kicked off with a deep dive into the  origin of iGaming  in the Philippines, moving into the future of gaming, tech and advertising. Attendees were treated to a wealth of insights covering compliance, live tables, ETGs, non-gaming trends, and changing demographics. This was all topped off with a look at what could happen next for Asia’s top gaming markets – what opportunities and shifts are there, and how to seize them. Join us next year! The party doesn’t stop in 2025, as the plans are already in motion for the ASEAN Gaming Summit 2026: scheduled to take place from 17-19th March 2026.
