SBC Summit Tbilisi unites industry leaders to explore Eastern Europe and Central Asia’s gaming and betting future with insights, networking, and growth opportunities. This October, SBC Summit Tbilisi 2025 returns to Georgia with an enhanced conference agenda that connects the industry to the expertise and insights of local Eastern European and Central Asian leaders, helping delegates succeed in these markets. Co-hosted with SMH Global , a Georgia-based company at the crossroads of sports, media, and iGaming, the summit will once again take place at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace on 15–16 October.  With over 50 speakers, the two-day agenda will cover local marketing, regulatory hurdles, and talent development, offering delegates the expertise needed to build stronger operations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Commenting on this year’s conference agenda, Rasmus Sojmark , CEO and Founder of SBC, said: "We’ve worked closely with SMH and a group of local experts who really understand the region to shape this agenda. They know how to connect with Eastern European players, why crypto has taken off in gaming here, and how sports icons influence the way fans engage. It’s their stories and expertise that make the program in Tbilisi so valuable." Day One will dig into the realities of entering and growing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Panels will explore what it really takes to win over players from a marketing perspective, while others will examine how operators can navigate multi-jurisdictional compliance, balancing taxation, GDPR, and responsible gambling rules without losing efficiency.  Beyond regulation, discussions will look at how traditional casinos are reinventing themselves, from integrating digital products to keeping pace with changing player expectations. The day will conclude with a candid discussion on the rise of cryptocurrency in iGaming, asking whether it is truly a game-changer for payments and trust or a risk that requires careful management. Day Two will turn the spotlight to sports and player engagement. Panels will unpack how athletes and sports icons influence fan communities, shape responsible play, and build brand trust, with case studies of successful collaborations between gaming brands and top stars. Discussions will then move into the rise of esports and fantasy sports, asking whether these interactive formats are the key to winning over younger, more skill-driven audiences.  Experts will also dig into gamification, from leaderboards and missions to loyalty programmes, and debate which mechanics truly keep players engaged long term. Later in the day, attention will shift to the region’s growing reputation as a talent hub, with speakers sharing how companies are recruiting and retaining top tech and product talent from Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, and beyond. The program will close on the power of sport itself, exploring how major events like the World Cup and Olympics fuel massive betting activity, and how sponsorships are reshaping the global sports economy. Looking ahead to this year’s summit, Sojmark added: "For me, the real value of this agenda is its practicality. Delegates will leave with ideas they can put into practice across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Just as importantly, it’s about looking ahead, thinking about the region’s future role in the industry and how businesses can start preparing for it today."

Slotegrator reveals the 10 features players love in 2025 and the 3 they avoid. Discover what keeps players engaged and boosts online casino success. Slotegrator’s latest report, The 10 features players love in 2025, highlights the extra features that keep online casino players engaged — and reveals the 3 that drive them away. As a leading iGaming software supplier and aggregator, Slotegrator provides valuable insights into what makes games more exciting and rewarding for players. The genius of slots lies in their simplicity.  They’re the essence of real-money gaming. The player lays their money on the line and waits to see if they win more than they risked or if their wager disappears.  But sometimes even genius can be improved upon — that’s where extra features come in.  Extra features like free spins and sticky wilds add an extra level of excitement to the game. They heighten player expectations, raise the stakes, and promise even more thrills than normal. By breaking up the rhythm of the base game, they create a more varied experience.  Players see the value in both small-scale and large-scale features. At one end of the spectrum are, for example, free spins, where players get to spin the reels a few times free of charge. At the other end are extensive, tiered VIP and loyalty programs that create a gaming ecosystem that increases in value over time.  But operators should tread lightly.  Players’ love of features has a limit. While there are some features that they can’t get enough of, there are others that they definitely can — and a few they want nothing to do with.  “Understanding player behavior is the cornerstone of building successful iGaming projects. Features like free spins and loyalty programs not only elevate the player experience but also strengthen retention. At the same time, operators need to be aware of the mechanics that can work against them. With an in-depth report, we’re giving the industry valuable insights into how to balance innovation with player expectations in 2025”, says Andrii Lypovyi,  sales manager at Slotegrator.  Download Slotegrator’s newest report via the link  to find out which 10 features players still love in 2025 and which 3 will drive them away.  Read related article: Slotegrator’s 6 Golden Rules to Protect Your Casino Business

Discover the Web 3.0 & Blockchain Academy at SBC Summit 2025 , featuring workshops, experts, and Gary Vaynerchuk live on stage. Learn, network, and innovate. Delegates at SBC Summit 2025 will gain hands-on experience in Web 3.0 and blockchain through a new academy dedicated to decentralised technologies. The programme includes practical workshops, discussions, and a live session with marketing powerhouse Gary Vaynerchuk .   The academy is part of SBC’s new Tech Academies programme, a series of interactive learning tracks built to deliver practical skills across four key areas: AI , marketing , Web 3.0 & blockchain , and gamification .   On Wednesday, 17 September, the Web 3.0 & Blockchain Academy will bring together Web3 founders, technologists, blockchain developers, compliance experts, and business leaders. Through panels, workshops, and live Q&A sessions, delegates will learn how these technologies are being built and used, and what they mean for the industry’s future.   Discussing the Web 3.0 & Blockchain Academy, SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark said: “What excites me about Web 3.0 and blockchain is how they let people take back control of things that really matter: data, identity, even finances. Instead of relying on centralised platforms, users are starting to own these themselves. That shift is something every business needs to understand, because it will reshape how our industry works.”   The academy will commence with the panel ‘ Web 3.0 & Blockchain in Context ’. Setting the scene for the afternoon ahead, the panel will bring together experts Borget Sebastien (Co-Founder & COO, The Sandbox), Jordi Baylina (Founder, ZisK) and panel moderator Eddie Marques (CEO & Founder, Web3 District) to discuss how Web 3.0 and blockchain came to be, as well as their enormous potential for changing both business and society as we know it.    Afterwards, delegates can take part in a live Ask Me Anything with Gary Vaynerchuk. In ‘NFTs, Crypto & Blockchain: Beyond The Buzz  - What Actually Matters AMA’ , he will tackle common misconceptions around NFTs, blockchain, crypto and esports, exploring where these technologies deliver genuine value and how businesses can apply them to drive engagement and growth.   After a networking break, the academy will continue with a series of 20-minute workshops. The sessions will look at practical uses of Web3 and blockchain, including data protection, contract automation, and compliance.   Exploring the future innovations in digital data sharing is the workshop titled ‘ The Ultimate Digital You — Control Your ID, IP & Data Like a Boss’. Led by expert Ingo Ruebe (CEO, KILT Protocol), the panel will examine how blockchain allows people to verify their identity without oversharing and how Web3 tools can help protect data and intellectual property.   The workshop “Real Money = Real Traffic. No Bots Allowed,” led by Ahmed Al Balaghi , CEO of Biconomy, will focus on helping businesses build sustainable growth and long-term loyalty rather than chasing empty metrics. It will tackle one of the biggest challenges in digital engagement: the rise of bots and fake traffic. Al Balaghi will show how blockchain, gamification, and AI can be used to verify real users, filter out fake activity, and reward genuine community participation.   Shifting the focus to Web3’s role in legal compliance is the workshop ‘Really Smart Contracts — On-Chain Bureaucracy, Upgraded’ . Led by Jason Meyers (Lead Architect & Founder, AuditChain), the workshop will explore how blockchain is rewriting the rulebook for legal compliance. Drawing on his expertise in Web3 and finance, Meyers will explain how smart contracts can turn agreements into self-executing code, automating payments, enforcing deliveries, and reducing inefficiencies. Additionally, the academy will feature workshops exploring the practical applications of Web 3.0 and blockchain across AI, automation, crypto payments, and regulatory compliance. Delegates will be able to attend a live demonstration on building AI-powered applications without coding, learn how intelligent agents and automated payments can streamline operations, and hear first-hand accounts on how to successfully build a crypto-based startup.   The Web 3.0 & Blockchain Academy will feature at the upcoming SBC Summit 2025 , SBC’s global flagship event, taking place at Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena from 16–18 September. The summit will also host a six-track conference , a 135,000 square meter exhibition , the Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payment Expert Summit , plus a full schedule of evening networking events .

SBC Summit 2025 explores the future of Asian gaming, with experts discussing regulation, opportunities, and market growth in the $18.3B iGaming sector. SBC Summit 2025 explores the future of Asian gaming by providing delegates with a comprehensive overview of the latest developments shaping Asian sports betting and iGaming, delivered through its new Emerging Markets conference track. On Thursday, 18 September 2025, at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), the stage will bring together Asia’s leading industry figures to examine a market valued at over $18.3 billion last year . Sessions will cover how operators can navigate compliance across the continent’s diverse jurisdictions, whether India is moving towards a regulated market, and if the wider Asia-Pacific region represents the next major opportunity for international businesses. The Asia-focused track will mark the culmination of three days of conference action on the Emerging Markets Stage . Day one will explore opportunities in Africa , and day two will analyse the markets of Eurasia and the Middle East . Rasmus Sojmark , CEO and founder of SBC, said: “If you’re building a global gaming business, you can’t afford to ignore Asia. This track makes it clear why the region belongs at the center of every long-term growth strategy. “Asia needs a platform where regulators, operators, suppliers, and investors can talk openly. SBC is proud to provide that space, and the Emerging Markets stage is the centerpiece of that effort.” Opening the discussion is the panel Asia: Navigating Regulation, Opportunity and Uncertainty , which will take an in-depth look at the regulatory landscape across the entire region. Here, industry experts Rory Anderson (Consultant, 12BET), Paul Fox (Chairman & Founder, Claymore Solutions), Lau Kok Keng (Head of Intellectual Property, Sports & Gaming, Rajah & Tan Singapore), Yuta Romanchenko (CBDO, Big Idea), and panel moderator Rosalind Wade (CEO, WinnaMedia) will explore contrasting jurisdictions, from the rise of alternative betting in India to Macau’s entrenched land-based sector, while also assessing which countries are most primed for investment and market entry. India’s Regulatory Roadmap: The Next Decade for Gaming will shine a spotlight on the country's complex state-by-state framework and the legal divide between games of skill and games of chance, which has created a unique environment: fantasy sports, lottery, and horse racing have flourished, while online gaming and traditional sports betting remain largely restricted. Bringing together Ranjana Adhikari (Partner, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co Advocates & Solicitors), Anton Kaszubowski (Managing Director, SBC Advisory), and Japneet Singh Sethi (Chief Growth Officer – South Asia, iGaming NDA), the panel will explore whether the industry is moving toward meaningful regulation or if the grey market will continue to dominate. The panel Philippines: Life after POGOs will bring together Dominique Laconico (President & CEO, MegaBet+ & Scorebet), Keith McDonnell (Director, KMI Group), Joe Pisano (CEO, Jade Gaming), and Marie Antonette "Tonet" Quiogue (Principal, Arden Consult) to examine the country’s shift from offshore gaming operators (POGOs) to the newly introduced PIGOs. The discussion will explore whether this transition makes the Philippines Asia’s first truly regulated market, the continuing role of PAGCOR, the fate of overseas populations once served by POGOs and the lessons other Asian jurisdictions can draw from this model.  The SBC Summit 2025 agenda also includes the Global Markets stage , which will provide a focused look at the world’s most profitable sports betting and iGaming markets. Over the course of three days, delegates will gain insights into strategies for market entry and expansion in Latin America & Brazil , Western Europe and North America .
