Join SPiCE Central Asia 2025 in Tashkent to explore gaming regulation, growth, and tech trends shaping Uzbekistan’s emerging gaming market. There are officially only 6 weeks left until the inaugural SPiCE Central Asia 2025  – the premier summit for stakeholders tracking one of today’s most intriguing gaming markets! Join us in Tashkent, Uzbekistan  from 25 – 26 September 2025 , where key players across the gaming industry, policy circles, and technology sectors will come together to explore the pivotal shift in Central Asia’s gaming ecosystem, as regulation begins to take shape alongside exciting economic and technological opportunities. With Uzbekistan positioning itself on the cusp of becoming a significant player in the global gaming arena, SPiCE Central Asia 2025  will offer rare and valuable insights into the region’s rapidly developing market dynamics and the frameworks that could guide its sustainable growth. Expert View: George Mamulaishvili on SPiCE Central Asia’s Potential to Transform the Market As we approach the summit,  George Mamulaishvili , Head of Administration at the Georgian Gambling Association  and a leading speaker, is sharing exclusive insights on regulation, collaboration, and growth strategies that could shape the future of the region’s gaming industry. On the role SPiCE Central Asia   2025 will play in transforming Uzbekistan’s gaming market, he said: “Any industry conference held in the region provides an additional boost to sectoral development. SPiCE has already established itself as a reliable brand and offers a platform for building sustainable communication between business and regulators. Government representatives always closely monitor market dynamics, and every professional event helps to strengthen trust in the sector. SPiCE is exactly the kind of platform that brings together a wide range of experts and can make a meaningful contribution to the future growth of the industry.” He further explained how responsible regulation can boost the region’s gaming growth while ensuring safety and long-term sustainability: “Every regulated sector, especially the gaming industry, contains delicate balances: sound regulation can stimulate the growth of the legal segment, while excessive restrictions may instead create conditions for the illegal market to expand. Missteps, such as over-regulation or sharp tax increases, may deliver short-term fiscal gains but often lead to long-term damage, reduced investor confidence, and capital flight. That’s why governments must engage in ongoing dialogue with the industry and listen to expert opinions. The responsibility for sustainable growth should be shared between the state and the private sector.” On bridging gaps between regulators, operators, and industry stakeholders:  “A conference is, first and foremost, a platform for open dialogue. Experts participating in SPiCE share their experience and perspectives on key issues – from regulatory frameworks to responsible gaming. This enables regulators to engage in constructive discussion, hear real-world case studies, and potentially adapt best international practices to local contexts. Such interaction brings stakeholders closer together and helps form a mature and sustainable market environment.” George’s advice for those preparing to enter Uzbekistan’s and the wider Central Asian regulatory environment:  “[In] my view, one thing deserves special attention: operators and suppliers should not compete for regulatory influence individually but should instead unite and build a constructive dialogue on behalf of the industry. Collaborative engagement with regulators tends to yield far better results than isolated efforts.” Here’s why he considers SPiCE Central Asia 2025  a can’t-miss event for those leading the industry: “SPiCE in other regions has already demonstrated that even new events can bring enormous value. This will be an excellent opportunity to come together, discuss current challenges, share experiences, learn something new, and – importantly – position oneself as a professional. Such events foster new relationships, strengthen existing ones, and even enable constructive interaction with competitors. SPiCE is not just a conference; it’s an investment in growth. Even industry leaders need to keep evolving and stay on top of trends, as this sector changes rapidly. SPiCE Central Asia provides precisely the environment where one can learn, grow, and influence the future of the industry.” Get Ready to Network with These Influential Industry Experts: Asad Kambarov , CEO/CMO,  iGlow Media Bibigul Baidildanova , Legal Counsel Dea Nebieridze , Partnerships and Community Manager Džangar Jesenov , Head of Compliance,  Endorphina Ekaterine Lomsadze , Account Manager George Mamulaishvili , Head of Administration, Georgian Gambling Association George Paliani , Co-Founder,  Futurum Giorgi Tsamalaidze , CLO, Random Systems Georgia Göktuğ Boğaç Ögel , Head of Technology & Product Lasha Kiladze , CMO,  Luxeya Max Yarmukhametov , SEO Team Lead Mukhammad Murodov , Product Owner, Brofist Partners Natalia Moskvina , Founder & General Manager, Lexonix Orkhan Zakirov , General Manager, Adigy Agency Valentin Rash , SEO Lead AND MANY MORE!

The Global Markets Stage at SBC Summit 2025 explores North America’s sports betting and iGaming scene, from alternative formats to regulatory challenges. SBC Summit 2025 Global Markets Stage will conclude with a focused look at the North American sports betting and iGaming market, one of the industry’s most commercially significant and complex regions.   Taking place on Thursday, 18 September at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), the Global Markets: North America track will round off three days of market-focused content covering Latin America & Brazil, Western Europe and North America.   With a combined value of $23.44 billion , the US and Canadian markets are shaped by fierce competition, patchwork regulation, and steep entry costs. Yet, for those able to stand out and innovate, the long-term upside is significant.    Industry leaders representing operators, regulators, affiliates, and suppliers will take to the stage to discuss the rise of alternative betting formats in the region, including sweepstakes casinos, Daily Fantasy Sports, and peer-to-peer betting.   While these formats have allowed new entrants to gain market share, they’ve also attracted regulatory scrutiny. Panellists will explore whether these models offer genuine long-term potential or are likely to be curtailed by new regulations.   Rasmus Sojmark , Founder and CEO of SBC, said: "North America may be a maturing market, but it remains one of the most commercially important regions for sports betting and iGaming. With regulatory progress slowing in key states, new market entrants are turning to alternative betting models to maintain momentum and explore fresh opportunities.   “Attendees at our North America track will leave with a clear view of which of these formats are working, what’s driving their growth, and the regulatory challenges alternative models must navigate if they are to have a lasting impact in this region.”   The track will open with a heavyweight panel featuring leading voices from across the North American market. US Leaders Panel: Sweeping the States - The Rise of Alternative Betting will see Jared Beber (CEO, Bet99), Paul Burns (CEO, Canadian Gaming Association), Brett Calapp (Co-Founder, RareMint), Paris Smith (CEO, DefyTheOdds), Dinos Stranomitis (COO, Altenar) and Alexandre Tomic (CEO, Alea) discuss the booming popularity of alternative betting models amid a slowdown in US states legalising online gambling. Moderated by Jessica Welman (Editor, SBC Americas), the panel will explore whether this trend has staying power or faces an imminent regulatory clampdown.   Building on this theme is the panel Sweepstakes Boom – Sustainable Growth or Short-Lived Trend? This panel will examine the rise of sweepstakes and live casinos across the US and ask whether the rapid adoption of these offerings may pave the way for a lasting market. The panel will see Yoel Chapman (CPO, Soft2Bet), Marcello De Crescenzo (Senior Account Executive, Optimove), Brian Goodman (CEO, Golden Matrix Group), Karolina Moscicka (COO, BugsyEmpire), and Dmitry Starostenkov (CEO, EvenBet) answer how these formats could build a lasting model if responsible frameworks are implemented.   The Social Side of Betting – Peer-to-Peer, Gamification & Community will explore another fast-growing trend in the region: peer-to-peer wagering. The panel will examine whether the social side of these platforms could reshape how players engage with betting. Hebert L Luiz T Crespin Gaban (CMO, Aposta Ganha), Horst Maberly (Head of Gaming Investments, Lance East Office), Monica Rangel (VP Marketing & Strategy, A5 Labs), Marion Ryan (Managing Director, Tombola), and Josh Turk (Chief Strategy Officer, North America, Low6) will discuss what’s driving the rise of peer-to-peer models, how they’re fostering player communities, and which regulatory hurdles could limit further growth.   The track will conclude with Tribal Gaming: Blurred Lines or Commercial Collaboration? , a discussion on how alternative betting formats are impacting North America’s tribal gaming sector. Tony Amormino (CEO, Apache Nugget Corporation), Robert Davidman (CEO, World Golf Series), Will Griffiths (Founder, Investor & Tribal Partner, Level Media), and Jamie Hummingbird (Chairman, NTGCR – National Tribal Gaming Commissioners & Regulators) will consider whether these formats could open new avenues for growth or present challenges for the tribal gaming community.

Slotegrator explores what’s driving engagement in today’s slot market, as Formula Spin blends speed, innovation, and a player-first approach in iGaming. A new generation of slot developers is proving that speed, transparency, and innovation are the keys to success. In Slotegrator What’s driving engagement in today’s slot market?, the company presents the inside story of how Formula Spin uses bold ideas, technical precision, and a player-first mindset to break through even the most competitive markets and set a new standard for the iGaming industry. In the fast-moving iGaming world, one new provider is standing out by following a simple rule: put the player first. According to Slotegrator’s partner Formula Spin, a dynamic new game studio, the secret lies in combining classic slot logic with modern design principles, and building games with real technical discipline. One standout trend is the move toward lightweight, high-performance games. Formula Spin has set an internal benchmark of keeping each game under 5MB, enabling faster loading times, better performance on mobile, and easier platform integration without sacrificing visual quality or engagement mechanics. “We don’t chase trends, but study what actually works for players and partners. From day one, our approach has been player-first. We always design with the end user in mind. The player is at the center of everything we do," says Oleg Galushko,  CEO of Formula Spin. Another factor gaining momentum is agile production. Instead of large-scale, multi-month development cycles, new-generation studios are embracing rapid iteration — building, testing, and launching in faster timelines. Formula Spin, for instance, released seven games within just a few months of launching and built a fully localized content pipeline that enables adaptation to new markets in under four days. The company also emphasizes the importance of using tools to boost engagement instead of just relying on content. Their custom promotional engine includes features like Scratch Win and Smart Tournaments, which allow operators to create layered, dynamic experiences that drive retention without inflating game complexity. Looking ahead, Formula Spin, like many forward-thinking studios, is exploring AI, gamification, and selective blockchain integration, but always through the lens of player value and operational efficiency, not hype. “We move fast, but always with purpose. Our team analyzes real data, listens to partners, and keeps learning. This approach allows us to stay lean without losing quality,” adds Galushko. As a Slotegrator partner, Formula Spin now distributes its games and promotional tools globally via APIgrator  — Slotegrator’s unified integration solution that enables operators to access a full portfolio of content through a single API. “We’re always looking for partners who not only understand the market, but actively shape its future. Formula Spin is exactly that kind of studio,” says Yelyzaveta Kundel , Partner Relationship Manager at Slotegrator. “Their focus on technical efficiency, smart engagement tools, and rapid delivery aligns perfectly with what operators need today. Through APIgrator, we’re proud to bring their content to platforms around the world.” Read the full interview with Formula Spin in the Slotegrator Academy to learn more about the studio’s approach to innovation, product strategy, and market expansion via the link .

London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s taskforce proposes key Licensing Act reforms, including changes impacting gaming machines in licensed hospitality venues. Earlier this year, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announced an independent taskforce to look at slashing tape surrounding the Licensing Act 2003, in a bid to give the hospitality sector a much needed boost across the capital – but it also impacts the gaming industry. The taskforce is made up of representatives from government, industry, police and local government. The group were tasked with making recommendations on the effective change to the Licensing Act 2003 to combat an alleged lack of proportionality, consistency and transparency - creating barriers to growth and investment. Since their appointment, the taskforce have conducted research by way of survey and focus groups to hear first hand from the industry the changes required to combat unnecessarily burdensome red tape. The taskforce concluded on 16 May 2025 and on 31 July 2025 the taskforce published their report which provided the government with 10 priority recommendations in relation to the Licensing Act 2003. In addition to these recommendations, the taskforce recognized the impact of other licensing regimes on alcohol licensed venues, most notably for our purposes, the Gambling Act 2005. The report called for wider legislative reform, with proposals relating to gaming in alcohol licensed venues. The proposals are: Automatic right to 4 Category C machines (currently 2) for licensed premises, Manual payments for gaming notifications/permits, and An immediate stake and prize review for Category C machines.   The taskforce states: ‘These are simple, no cost, pro-growth changes that would enable pubs and other licensed premises to maintain the real value of an important income stream.’ The current legislative framework permits up to two category C and/ or D gaming machines in alcohol licensed venues under the automatic entitlement. The proposal would therefore see the entitlement increased to 4 category C and/ or D gaming machines, allowing for more gaming machines in alcohol licensed premises before requiring a more formal application for a greater number of machines, such as a Licensed Premises Gaming Machine Permit. Under the proposal, operators would be able to offer more machines at a lower initial and renewal cost. The current maximum stake for a category C gaming machine is £1, and the maximum prize is £100. It is not yet clear what changes the review is proposing so we await further clarity on this from the taskforce and government. The government has welcomed the taskforce’s report and acknowledged that a modern and enabling licensing system is essential. Whilst the government accepts the majority of the taskforce’s priority recommendations, where recommendations would require legislative changes to be implemented, as changes to the automatic entitlement and machine stake and prize limits would, delivery of these reforms will only take place when Parliamentary time allows. It seems for now that the focus from the government will be on the priority recommendations so only time will tell if the wider legislative reforms to the Gambling Act will gain traction.
