Leading provider scoops landmark award at prestigious ceremony with pioneering platform
Leading platform provider FSB has been crowned Sportsbook Supplier of the Year at the SBC Awards 2018.
The judging panel, featuring key industry stakeholders, was uniquely impressed by FSB’s sportsbook platform and trading tools which are tailor-made for the demands of live sports betting and have been readily pressed into service with operators worldwide.
The award follows a particularly productive year for FSB, which has seen it expand its global footprint across four continents with the industry’s most flexible, scalable and efficient sports betting platform.
Sportsbooks that run off FSB’s proprietary platform and unique pricing models enable customers to enjoy the most sophisticated and reactive in-play odds, with competitive pricing on all sports. Services are provided either as a white-label service (where FSB manages the entire sportsbook) or as an enterprise software licence (where clients control the trading and risk management functions).
FSB covers the entire sports betting value chain, including but not limited to managing live data feeds from multiple suppliers, trading and risk management and marketing support.
Richard Thorp, FSB’s Business Development Director, said: “We’re thrilled. It’s a great endorsement of our sportsbook solution and all the hard work behind the scenes from our wonderfully capable and committed team. Receiving this industry recognition at one of the cornerstone awards shows on the calendar is the icing on the cake on a fantastic year.
“We’re in a new sports betting era where the ‘one size fits all’ approach has run out of road. Sportsbook Supplier is always one of the most exacting categories since it demands the highest levels of technical expertise to produce a comprehensive but light-to-deploy platform. FSB now takes away the pain of purchasing and installing cumbersome legacy platforms with a breakthrough offering that enables swift and fully-compliant deployment into multiple jurisdictions.
“FSB are looking forward to 2019. Africa has represented a very large growth area for us over the past two years, Asia is now following suit, while the U.S. is clearly becoming very interesting as it opens up state-by-state. We’ve recently launched a sports betting area into a large casino in Manila in the Philippines, and I think there’s a lot more opportunity in that same territory. It’s very exciting.”
ABOUT FSB
London-based FSB has created the industry’s most scalable, flexible, and efficient sports betting and gaming platform. Utilised by operators on four continents, the modern technology is designed for the demands of live betting and a fragmented regulatory landscape, providing light physical deployments worldwide backed by centralised control systems. Available as a fully-managed service or an enterprise solution, the system allows partners to use FSB’s software platform to run their own business the way they want. The platform is integrated with the industry’s best casino games suppliers. FSB provides brands with everything needed to run a responsible sports betting and gaming business, complete with full reporting, social responsibility tools, bonusing tools, segmentation, payments and data analytics.

Play’n GO’ electrifies iGaming with Lab of Madness It’s a Wild!
Play’n GO throws the switch on Lab of Madness It’s a Wild!, a gothic comic-inspired slot that surges with strange science and surprise. Players join the unconventional Dr Frankenstein as she attempts to jolt her patchwork Monster to life in a lab where every pull of the lever sparks new possibilities.
Inside her shadowy castle laboratory, the eccentric doctor – equal parts brilliant and bizarre – is moments away from success. Lightning dances across Tesla coils, strange bulbs flicker with colour, and each spin builds towards a shocking breakthrough.
At the centre of the chaos is the Monster Wild. It’s not just a symbol – it’s a scene-stealer, shifting positions, stretching across reels, and multiplying wins with raw energy. These Wilds can even combine their powers, filling the screen with movement and mayhem. Add to that a Power Up feature that delivers sudden prizes, and a Free Spins mode where stacked effects can keep the game alive with electricity – and the result is a slot packed with spark.
The visual style draws inspiration from retro horror comics, fusing dramatic shadows and hand-drawn details with neon bursts. The monochrome lab, oversized coils, and lively symbols create a world that’s both eerie and entertaining.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Lab of Madness It’s a Wild! gave us a chance to mix sharp design with surprising features. It’s got humour, heart, and just enough madness to keep players coming back for more.”
Between quirky characters, energetic gameplay, and a fresh twist on a classic tale, this is one experiment you’ll want to see through to the end.

Esports Charts becomes the official viewership analytics partner of the StarLadder StarSeries Season 19
Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, is pleased to announce a new partnership with StarLadder, a veteran tournament organizer.
The companies will partner for the new season of StarLadder StarSeries Season 19 — the legendary tournament series returns to the professional Counter-Strike scene after a six-year break.
As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder StarSeries Season 19, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event for a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.
“We’re proud to provide real-time viewership analytics for StarLadder StarSeries Season 19,” said Artyom Odintsov, co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts. “We welcome the return of StarLadder to the Tier‑1 Counter-Strike stage, adding healthy competition among tournament organizers. This season marks an exciting new chapter for a historic series, and our data will help capture audience engagement throughout the event, giving organizers, teams, and sponsors valuable insights into global viewership trends.”
StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 25 years, since hosting its first tournaments in 2001. The company has organized some of the industry’s most iconic events, including the StarLadder Berlin Major and The DOTA 2 Chongqing Major in 2019. Later this year, StarLadder will also host the Budapest Major 2025 — where it was earlier announced that Esports Charts will serve as the official viewership analytics partner.
The StarSeries tournament series, a key part of StarLadder’s brand, has helped launch the careers of numerous Counter-Strike stars. The last StarSeries event, StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 8, took place in October 2019 in Turkey. After a six-year hiatus, the series is finally set to make its return this fall with a brand-new season in Europe.
“StarLadder’s decision to partner with Esports Charts once again reflects our confidence in their leadership in esports viewership analytics. Their methodology sets the benchmark for accuracy and transparency — from tracking impressions with a true 30-second viewing window to providing insights that go far beyond raw numbers. Together, we are committed to giving brands and fans a deeper statistics of competitive Counter-Strike, powered by metrics that truly matter,” shared Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Head of Sales & Partnerships at StarLadder.
The StarLadder StarSeries Season 19 will run from September 18 to 21 in Budapest, Hungary, featuring a $500,000 prize pool. Eight teams will battle for the title: Natus Vincere, B8 Esports, Passion UA, 9INE, PARIVISION, OG, and Gentle Mates.
