Discover how SBC Summit Malta drew 6,000+ global attendees, showcasing its strong international appeal with top networking, insights, and entertainment. Last week, SBC Summit Malta transformed the InterContinental Hotel into a powerhouse of industry networking, bringing together 6,000 professionals from Malta and across Europe.   This year marked the debut of the event under its new identity, following the rebrand from CasinoBeats Summit. With its expanded focus covering casino, sports betting, regulation, affiliation, payments, and emerging tech, the summit officially opened on Wednesday, 11 June, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Malta’s Minister for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects, Silvio Schembri .   Clinton Cutajar , CTO of digital marketing agency MediaTroopers , praised the rebrand: “The rebranding was a successful one. Everyone I meet mentions it is a great show, with great panels and a great conference.”   In addition to content and attendance, the organisation of the event itself earned high marks. Cristina Turbatu , CTO at Malta-based operator Casumo , noted, “It’s very well organised, it’s very well structured, and for me, it just feels high-end in terms of quality, so I really enjoy it.”   Cutajar added praise for the technology behind the experience: “The SBC Connect app helped a lot to schedule appointments in advance. There was no need to search around or try to coordinate elsewhere. Everything and everyone could be found in one central place.”   Dr. Eyal Loz , CPO of game studio RubyPlay , also commented on the balance between scale and accessibility: “It’s big enough to meet a lot of interesting people and have some really good meetings, and small enough to navigate easily. The organisation, the location, the panels; I’m very happy with it. It has been brilliant.”   This year's summit also demonstrated depth in commercial firepower with an impressive 37% of attendees holding key decision-making roles. Moreover, there was strong representation from both the operator and affiliate sides, with operators bringing over 2,100 representatives, accounting for 35% of the overall audience, and 750 affiliates focused on player acquisition in the room. Both segments recorded considerable audience growth compared to last year.   Nils Andén , CEO of operator Kindred Group , commented: “I have definitely met the people that I expected to meet here, and also some people that I was surprised to see. SBC delivered on the promise to get the right people.” Rosi Bremec , COO at Game Lounge , added: “I’ve only been in the industry for three years, and I’m always looking for good people and new ideas. Events like this help me meet those people and also expand my knowledge of the industry.”   Reflecting on the milestone edition, SBC CEO & Founder Rasmus Sojmark shared: “While the numbers for this event were strong and we delivered on our promises, the most important takeaway was the undeniable excitement I witnessed while walking the show floor, entering the conference rooms, and attending the dinners and parties.    “The audience this year was electric, and the warm feedback we have received is the greatest compliment we could ask for as organisers. A massive thank you to each and every individual who made this event, in its new shape and form, a success this year.”   Malta-based leaders were especially vocal about the event’s value for the local ecosystem. Charles Mizzi , CEO of the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) , underlined the event’s broader significance: “These events help to confirm the importance of the gaming industry to the local economy.”   “I was quite impressed with the setup and the number of participants. If we remain behind our desks and do not participate in events such as this, we wouldn’t have the feel of the industry,” the MGA CEO added.   Andén remarked, “I’m based here in Malta, so this is a good opportunity for me to catch up with people from all across the industry; not only the ones that are based here, but those who travel here too. It’s also good that SBC makes a concerted effort to actually get people who represent the companies that work here in Malta. That is an important kind of differentiation point.”   Jovana Popovic Canaki , CEO of iGP , a Platinum Headline sponsor of the event, said: “One of our offices is here in Malta, and for us it’s home. We walk to the venue. We want to support local events, so the sponsorship was a no-brainer and a great honour.”   Bremec further highlighted the benefit of local hosting: “Everybody is here. The product people are here, the HR people are here. Everybody loves attending these events, so we encourage that.”   Notably, while the event featured strong local representation, with 47% of the audience based in Malta, it also demonstrated its international appeal, with 53% of attendees flying in from abroad. “This shows that the event is not just for locals, but a key opportunity to connect with European, and to some extent, international stakeholders who travel to Malta specifically to attend the event,” Sojmark said.   Beyond the vibrant expo floor, the conference segment was a highlight in its own right. Hosted across three main conference rooms and two dedicated workshop spaces, the agenda featured 17 hands-on workshops and a speaker lineup of 250 experts.   Andén commented, “I really liked the particularly dedicated track on some of the regulation challenges that affect not only me as an operator, but also affect suppliers and everyone else in the industry.” Popovic Canaki added, “Sometimes we speak too loudly and don’t let our ears work. This was a fantastic opportunity to sit down and listen to what the rest of the industry has to say.”   Andre Machado , CCO of Clever Advertising, praised the programming: “The way you are building the conference and the topics are also a mixture of what the audience is looking for. There’s real sensibility in how the programme aligns with broader industry trends.”   Turbatu reinforced the value of the educational content: “Those who didn’t attend would be missing out on high-quality workshops, which I don’t think many other conferences focus on.”   Adding a cultural edge to the event, SBC hosted the Malta debut of its signature EDM experience: the INFINITY party. Held at the island’s iconic Aria Complex and headlined by international star Galantis , the evening delivered a high-energy celebration that brought the entire industry together in style. The Malta edition joins past INFINITY showcases at SBC Summit, SBC Summit Rio, and SBC Summit Americas, which featured major acts such as Afrojack and Steve Aoki.   Apart from INFINITY Malta, SBC treated attendees to multiple evening networking events. The week began with an opening party at Infinity by Hugo’s, a beloved spot for those who had previously attended SBC’s Malta events. The organiser also hosted two invite-only dinners on Wednesday, one for C-level operators at Caviar & Bull and another for affiliates at Sole by Tarragon. On Thursday, the spotlight shifted to SBC Awards Europe, a ceremony that celebrated the achievements of the industry’s brightest companies and individuals. The week concluded with a relaxed closing party at Open Waters.   The overwhelmingly positive response from attendees highlighted not only the strength of the new format but also the growing trust in SBC’s ability to deliver high-quality, high-impact industry events. As Dr . Eyal Loz of RubyPlay summed it up: “I've attended almost all the SBC events over the last year, and I'm going to keep on coming back for sure. It’s nice to see the evolution of SBC. The pace at which SBC is improving, becoming more relevant, more engaging, and more dynamic truly blows my mind.” Read related article: SBC Summit 2025 Introduces Latin America & Brazil Track

Celebrate National Bingo Week 2025—exploring bingo’s rich history, modern revival, and how today’s events bring fun, flair, and community across the UK. Bingo has gone through myriad changes in the past hundred years, and is now seeing a huge renaissance with younger crowds. Elizabeth Varley solicitor at gambling licensing firm Poppleston Allen gives us the history – and the rules, should you be looking to host your own wacky bingo event! The average age of bingo participants in the UK has dropped drastically since its UK heyday of the 1960s, with both the traditional bingo hall and the neon lights of the bottomless brunches and club nights home to bingo-based events. In fact, it’s so popular that there’s actually a National Bingo Week in the UK! Now in its fifth year, the 2025 campaign starts this coming Monday, June 23, running through the week. The week aims to celebrate bingo businesses in the country for the social value it provides to so many, including the fun, camaraderie and a safe place to enjoy leisure. But where did bingo start, and more importantly, why has it become such a booming business in the past few years? Bingo Italiano: from Italy to the UK High Street Bingo originates from the 16th century Italian game Lo Giuoco del Lotto d’Italia , which literally means “the clearance of the lot of Italy”.  The game spread through Europe and gameplay evolved as it travelled. By the 1700s, the game had spread to France, where it took form as Le   Lotto  in France, and from there, became popular in 19th century Britain. The 1960s are widely perceived as the ‘golden age’ of Bingo in Great Britain. On 2 January 1961, new legislation allowed bingo to be played in clubs and by the mid-60s, more than six million people belonged to a ‘bingo club’. There has been an unprecedented closure of bingo halls since 2007, a move which is widely attributed to the ban on indoor smoking, hiking tax rises and the boom of online gambling Bingo in 2025 The closure of premises during the COVID-19 pandemic sparked an unprecedented challenge for bingo halls up and down the country. But like many things after the pandemic, it was an evolution rather than a proper ending, and the industry remained as resilient as ever. The rise in popularity of bingo bottomless brunches and themed bingo nights have only increased since then, with many pubs, bars and event spaces hosting themed bingo events. With the modern spin on bingo appealing to a younger demographic, and so many fun, brightly coloured options out there, how do licensees stay compliant, making sure they’re not appealing to under-18s? Modern Day Bingo: Staying Compliant  Pubs and clubs have long been the home of social gatherings where friends and strangers come together to enjoy good company, great drinks and now, a thrilling game of bingo. The renaissance of bingo in alcohol licensed venues can be attributed to the game’s adaptability and ability to cater to a wide audience.  Our beloved bingo halls provide facilities for bingo under Bingo Premises Licences and continue to evolve their offerings to a modern audience. Bingo in other alcohol licensed venues is largely permitted under exempt gaming provisions and there are strict rules which must be followed. Bingo games can only be played by over-18s, and there are limits on stakes and prizes which must be adhered to. Participation fees also can not be charged.  Bingo in pubs and clubs must be non-commercial, no profit can be made from the bingo. For those reading who may be looking to exceed the statutory limits, an Operating Licence would need to be obtained from the Gambling Commission. The full set of limits on exempt gaming can be read in the Act itself and the Gambling Commission provides further guidance. The Gambling Commission has issued a Code of Practice for bingo in alcohol licensed premises. Exempt gaming is expected to be low level, and should be ancillary to the main purpose of the premises. It is for the Designated Premises Supervisor under the alcohol premises licence to ensure that the Code is adhered to and most importantly, to ensure a pleasant atmosphere for customers! One thing is for sure …bingo is here to stay! Read related article: Gaming Realms Partners with Mecca Bingo on Slingo Game

Altenar sponsors Gran Fondo Isle of Man, backing the iconic cycling event and showcasing its commitment to sport, community, and the island’s cycling legacy. Altenar, a leading sports betting and iGaming software provider, has signed a three-year deal to become the title sponsor of the Gran Fondo Isle of Man cycling event.   This strategic partnership marks a major commitment by Altenar to support cycling on the Isle of Man, a place with a deep-rooted cycling heritage. The island is famously the birthplace of Mark Cavendish, the most successful Tour de France stage winner of all time, who himself has taken part in the Gran Fondo in both 2019 and 2022.   Set against the stunning backdrop of the Manx countryside, over two action-packed days on 19th to 20th July, more than 1,000 riders from around the world will compete across four challenges - the Gran Fondo (85 miles), the Medio Fondo (39 miles), the Piccolo Fondo (20 miles), and the family-friendly Minisculo Fondo, held in the heart of Ramsey’s Mooragh Park which doubles as the race village.   Since its inception, Gran Fondo Isle of Man has attracted over 8,000 riders from as far afield as Japan, Australia, South Africa and the USA. It has earned major accolades - named one of Cycling Weekly’s “Top Ten Must-Do” events for three consecutive years - and been a qualifying round of the prestigious UCI Gran Fondo World Series from 2021-2024.    2025 will mark the final Gran Fondo Isle of Man in the current format, with organisers set to announce exciting plans for their future events shortly, alongside new partner Altenar.   This agreement reaffirms Altenar’s passion for supporting community sports in the Isle of Man and builds on its successful sponsorship of the Isle of Man Marathon and Half Marathon, which will take place in August.   John Quaye, Chief Financial Officer at Altenar, said: “The Isle of Man has cycling woven into its identity, and Altenar is proud to be part of a new chapter for this incredible event.   “With our headquarters at Cycle 360 House, and our existing sponsorship of the Isle of Man Marathon and Half Marathon, this sponsorship is a natural fit - uniting endurance and community, highlighting the beauty of the Isle of Man and showing why it has Unesco World Biosphere status.”   Paul Phillips, Director, Gran Fondo Isle of Man, said: “Having Altenar on board as our title sponsor is a huge vote of confidence in the event’s direction and our long-term vision.  We’re incredibly excited about what we can build together - not just for 2025, but for the evolution of mass participation cycling for all ages and abilities within the context of our own event.   “Our event is well established both within the local community and with international cyclists and we will continue to adapt to deliver memorable and enjoyable cycling experiences that capitalise on the Island’s rich environment and terrain.” Read related article: Altenar goes live in the Netherlands with Starcasino
