Major casinos respond to AMLC investigation into junket operators' alleged involvement in kidnapping and murder. Two of the Philippines' largest casinos, Okada Manila and Solaire Resort & Casino, have terminated their partnerships with VIP junket operators 9 Dynasty Group and White Horse Club. This decision follows allegations linking these junkets to the kidnapping and murder of businessman Anson Que and his driver, Armanie Pabillo.  Que and Pabillo were last seen on March 29, 2025, in Valenzuela City. Their bodies were discovered on April 8 in Rizal province. Investigations revealed that ransom payments totaling approximately $3.7 million were funneled through accounts associated with the aforementioned junket operators. The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has launched a probe into the financial transactions of these junket operators, suspecting their involvement in laundering ransom funds. The AMLC's investigation extends beyond the immediate perpetrators to include casino players within the junket operations who may have received portions of the ransom through electronic wallets.  In response to these developments, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has reiterated its commitment to maintaining the integrity of the gaming industry. PAGCOR emphasized the importance of stringent compliance measures and has pledged to enhance oversight of junket operations to prevent similar incidents in the future. This incident underscores the need for robust regulatory frameworks and vigilant enforcement to safeguard the reputation of the Philippine gaming sector. As investigations continue, industry stakeholders are urged to review and strengthen their compliance protocols to ensure alignment with international anti-money laundering standards.

Discover the new Affiliate Leaders Awards at SBC Summit —celebrating the top affiliates, operators & innovators shaping the future of iGaming partnerships. This year’s SBC Summit will see the premiere of the Affiliate Leaders Awards – a bold new addition spotlighting standout contributions in the affiliate marketing industry. The Affiliate Leaders Awards will take place on Wednesday, 17 September 2025 , from 19:00 to 24:00 at the MEO Arena , marking the first time SBC is hosting a standalone ceremony dedicated entirely to celebrating the achievements of affiliates, their operator partners, and the suppliers driving the affiliate ecosystem. The new ceremony builds on the incredible momentum generated by the Affiliate Leaders Summit , which was first introduced during last year’s SBC Summit and has since been rolled out at SBC Summit Rio and SBC Summit Americas. This event has quickly become a flagship feature within the broader SBC Events portfolio, offering a highly focused environment for affiliates and their partners to connect, learn, and do business. According to SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark , the creation of the Affiliate Leaders Awards is a natural next step in SBC’s ongoing efforts to elevate and support the affiliate community within the iGaming and sports betting industries. “Over the last year, we’ve doubled down on providing dedicated spaces and meaningful content for the affiliate community,” said Sojmark . “We’ve listened closely to what this community needs and the Affiliate Leaders Awards is the next phase – not just recognising their contributions, but celebrating them in the way they deserve.” The Affiliate Leaders initiative – which includes the summit, community, magazine, news portal, and now the awards – has always been about empowering the affiliate sector and making business easier for its members. Whether it’s curated expo zones for affiliates and their partners, deep-dive content on SEO, AI, and acquisition strategies, or networking formats built for deal-making, SBC continues to create spaces where affiliates thrive. Historically, affiliate-focused awards were limited to just a handful of categories within the broader SBC Awards. The introduction of a standalone ceremony enables SBC to significantly expand the recognition offered to this important segment of the industry. This year’s Affiliate Leaders Awards will feature multiple categories, covering three key stakeholder groups: Affiliates – Featuring categories that showcase the full spectrum of affiliate excellence, from top networks and niche verticals to standout campaigns, content leaders, and rising stars. Operators – Celebrating operator teams and strategies that actively support, engage, and collaborate with affiliates. Suppliers – Honouring the platforms, tools, and service providers that drive affiliate performance and innovation. Award categories include Affiliate Network of the Year , Affiliate Content Manager of the Year , Affiliate Campaign of the Year , Social Media Campaign of the Year , and Affiliate Technology of the Year — all designed to spotlight the creativity, strategy, and innovation fueling affiliate success. “With the launch of the Affiliate Leaders Awards, SBC adds a new layer of visibility and recognition. We want to highlight the innovation happening across the affiliate world – not just from the biggest names, but from rising stars, emerging content formats, and the tech providers enabling it all,” added Sojmark . “And we want to do that in a setting that brings everyone together – affiliates, operators, and suppliers – in a night of celebration, inspiration, and connection.” Applications Now Open Entries for the Affiliate Leaders Awards are now officially open and will be accepted until Friday, 4 July . Entrants are invited to submit their applications via the Affiliate Leaders Awards website , where they can also review the full list of categories and entry criteria.

Timmy Trumpet brings explosive energy to SBC Summit INFINITY Lisbon’s closing party—get ready for an unforgettable night at MEO Arena this September! Blending classical training, jazz roots, and EDM firepower, Timmy Trumpet will take the stage at the INFINITY Lisbon closing party with a high-energy set that promises to close SBC Summit with a bang. Taking place on Thursday, September 18th at the MEO Arena —which serves as the Super Stage during the day—the venue will transform into the ultimate party setting for the Australian DJ and producer, widely regarded as one of the most explosive live performers in EDM.  Known for his trumpet solos and crowd-hyping energy, his headline set will be open to VIP attendees and complimentary operator and affiliate pass holders. “The Greatest Show in Gaming couldn’t happen without the greatest showman in EDM! Jokes aside, no one brings the fire quite like Timmy Trumpet,” said Rasmus Sojmark , CEO & Founder of SBC. “He’s that rare artist who can blend high-energy drops with live instrumentation and still keep the crowd bouncing from start to finish.” Timmy Trumpet’s musical journey began at just four years old when he picked up the trumpet. By thirteen, he was named Young Musician of the Year and earned a full scholarship to the Conservatorium of Music, studying under the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Anthony Heinrich. Within two years, he became the lead soloist for the Australian All-Star Stage Band, touring Europe and performing at some of the world’s top jazz festivals. His evolution into the electronic music scene came naturally, blending live trumpet with high-energy EDM—culminating in his breakout hit Freaks in 2014, which has since surpassed a billion streams across all platforms and contributed to a discography that has amassed over 5 billion streams worldwide. Trumpet’s Tomorrowland debut in 2017 remains the most-streamed set in the festival’s history. In 2024, he reached a new career high, ranking 5th on DJ Mag’s Top 100. That same year, he closed the main stage at Tomorrowland in both Belgium and Brazil—his Belgium set becoming the most-viewed performance of the year and further cementing his legacy as one of the festival’s most iconic acts. The DJ’s genre-blending style and electrifying energy have also led to collaborations with some of the biggest names in electronic music. His discography includes powerhouse tracks with global stars like Steve Aoki , Armin van Buuren , Afrojack , Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike , Hardwell , KSHMR , R3HAB , W&W , and ALOK , among others. “We already announced Alok last month as part of the INFINITY Lisbon lineup, and now confirming Timmy Trumpet means we’ll have two powerhouse DJs headlining the closing party—an experience I’m sure our attendees will truly appreciate,” said Sojmark . This won’t be the first time SBC event attendees are treated to electrifying DJ performances. The tradition began last September during the debut edition of SBC’s flagship show in Lisbon, with headline acts including Darude , Miss Monique , and Don Diablo . It continued earlier this year at SBC Summit Rio , where Afrojack and Brazilian duo Dubdogz brought the energy behind the decks. Next, the tradition heads to SBC Summit Americas , where Steve Aoki will headline the INFINITY Florida closing party in Fort Lauderdale. “It’s becoming a tradition—and one that both we at SBC and our delegates absolutely love,” Sojmark added. “Industry events are fantastic in so many ways. But they’re also demanding. Closing them with world-class acts creates an experience that’s both celebratory and memorable, which is exactly what SBC Summit is all about.” SBC Summit will return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena on 16–18 September. Set to welcome 30,000 industry professionals from around the world, the event will offer three days of in-depth educational content, a comprehensive exhibition floor, and networking opportunities.
