Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

SBC Summit will make a powerful return to Lisbon this September, bringing together 30,000 industry professionals for its biggest edition yet.

The 2025 edition will focus on fine-tuning every aspect of the attendee journey and strategically balancing buyers and sellers, aiming to deliver the industry’s most results-driven event.

The flagship event, which drew attendees from 134 countries in 2024, will once again transform the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) and MEO Arena into the global epicentre of the betting and gaming industry from 16-18 September 2025, spanning three full days.

At 135,000+ square meters, the 2025 SBC Summit show floor will be its largest ever, featuring 700+ exhibitors. Enhanced signage will streamline navigation, while the zone format will return alongside an expanded Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payment Expert Summit, ensuring attendees can still count on a more targeted approach and efficient lead generation.

Last year’s Lisbon show cemented the event’s reputation as the industry’s fastest-growing business gathering. With soaring momentum and a significant economic contribution to Lisbon, estimated at €100 million in indirect benefits in 2024 alone, the event has earned the backing of Lisbon Mayor Carlos Moedas, Minister of Economy Pedro Reis, and Secretary of State for Tourism Pedro Machado.

With SBC Summit scaling fast, SBC CEO & Founder Rasmus Sojmark has made operational excellence the key focus for 2025. “Last year was our first experience at FIL, and we learned a great deal. We made sure to gather and act on attendee feedback, fine-tuning everything from venue conditions to transport logistics while working closely with Lisbon officials to enhance the overall experience. As we grow, every operational detail becomes even more crucial,” he commented.

With 8,000+ operator representatives set to attend, SBC Summit 2025 will also double down on delivering a premium, 360-degree experience for the industry’s most in-demand audience. Last year’s survey showed high satisfaction, with operators awarding the event a 60 NPS score. This year, SBC will raise the bar even further, ensuring it remains a must-attend event for every operator team member.

To elevate the operator experience, SBC is introducing the Operator Academy—an exclusive training initiative led by top industry experts and global trainers. With six specialised academies, it delivers practical, hands-on learning in odds-making, gamification, AI, marketing, compliance, and crypto, ensuring attendees gain immediately actionable skills to enhance performance.

The Operator Academy will elevate an already dynamic agenda, making SBC Summit 2025 the most comprehensive edition yet. With five vertical-specific stages and the Super Stage at MEO Arena featuring its strongest speaker lineup to date, attendees can expect game-changing content delivered by industry icons and global pioneers alike.

Sojmark said: “I was going to keep this under wraps a little longer, but we’re all too excited. Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerMedia, is confirmed as one of the keynotes for SBC Summit! If you’ve ever seen a viral marketing video that made you rethink everything, chances are, he was behind it. 

“Gary Vee is one of the most influential voices in digital strategy today. His viral content has taken over the internet, and now we’re bringing him—and his infectious personality—to our Super Stage. This is huge!” the CEO added.

The industry’s biggest party,  The INFINITY Lisbon, will also return to MEO Arena on Thursday night, closing SBC Summit with a spectacular DJ set—headlined by none other than Alok.

SBC’s Event Director Paul Mills commented: “Alok was originally set to headline SBC Summit Rio in his native Brazil, but scheduling conflicts meant we had to shift plans to Lisbon. We’re thrilled he’ll still get to meet the SBC crowd that was so eager to see him. Also, one of the biggest DJs on the planet—currently in the top 10 worldwide—will be part of this. We’ll be announcing his name soon.”

The INFINITY Lisbon won’t be the only SBC evening event featuring superstar DJs. This year’s opening party, held in partnership with Pin-Up on Tuesday, September 16, will bring Joel Corry and Imanbek to the stage, delivering high-energy for an unforgettable night of music and networking.

Among this year’s exciting upgrades, the Affiliate Leaders Summit will return even stronger after a standout 2024 debut. Now running for three full days, the side event will feature an expanded show floor, dedicated content, and a major new highlight—the Affiliate Leaders Awards—set to complement the prestigious SBC Awards 2025 by celebrating excellence in the affiliate space.

Sojmark added: “It’s impossible to highlight everything that goes into this event, so I’ll just say this: this year, we’re building an event that’s not just bigger, but smarter. Yes, once again, we’re growing the event—and that’s great, a testament to the success it witnessed last year. 

“But when organising events of this scale, you have to take a step back and focus on the fundamentals. Are we creating an event that is both productive and hassle-free for attendees? Because that’s the only way forward for the Greatest Show in Gaming.”

  • BLAST Dota Slam Singapore to take place this November at Singapore Indoor Stadium in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia

  • The world’s best Dota teams will meet in Singapore from 4th – 9th November 2025 to compete for a prize pool of $1,000,000 at the first ever BLAST Slam arena event 

Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced the return of its world-class events to Singapore with the BLAST Dota Slam Singapore, set to take place in November 2025 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).

This announcement follows the sellout success of the BLAST Premier World Final 2024, which marked BLAST’s Southeast Asia debut and saw more than ten-thousand fans pack out the Resorts World Convention Centre to witness the world’s top Counter-Strike teams compete for the $1 million prize pool.

Building on that momentum, Singapore will now host the BLAST Dota Slam arena event, teaming up with AEG Presents Asia again to bring together the world’s best Dota teams to battle it out for $1,000,000 in front of a live audience and millions of fans tuning in globally across 50+ territories and in 12 languages.

The BLAST Dota Slam Singapore is the latest milestone in BLAST’s global expansion into Dota 2, and reinforces Singapore’s growing reputation as a premier destination for sports and live entertainment. It marks the second consecutive year the city-state has hosted a BLAST arena tournament, following the successful Counter-Strike event in 2024.

James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “Singapore delivered one of the most passionate esports crowds we’ve ever seen during last year’s BLAST Premier World Final. We’re thrilled to be returning with our next major arena show – this time for Dota 2 – and to once again partner with the Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia to help to further grow Southeast Asia’s esports ecosystem. The response to our events in Singapore has been incredible, and this November’s Dota Slam promises to be another landmark moment for fans and for the region. Singapore has an impressive history and pedigree for the biggest international sporting events, supported by STB, and BLAST is proud to be building on this with the biggest esports events.”

Ms Lilian Chee, Director, Sports, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are delighted to welcome BLAST back to Singapore, this time with the Dota Slam. Building on the success of the BLAST Premier World Final, this event further reinforces Singapore’s reputation as a world-class destination for sports and live entertainment. We look forward to welcoming the passionate fans, players and partners once again to our vibrant city.”

BLAST’s return to Singapore is set to shine a global spotlight on the city while delivering significant economic benefits and meaningful destination marketing. With an estimated economic impact in the tens of millions, the tournament further demonstrates how esports events are evolving into major cultural and economic drivers for host cities – on par with large-scale traditional international sporting events.

With Singapore, Rio, London, Austin, and Lyon among the major destinations on BLAST’s global calendar this year, it is evident that governments, cities and tourism bodies are recognising the power of esports to attract young and engaged visitors, create jobs, and drive international visibility.

Casino operator’s greenscreen-powered Live Blackjack experience to deliver immersive, custom gameplay and deeper brand engagement

LuckyStreak, the Riga-based live games provider, has launched its fully customisable SmartStudio greenscreen technology with online casino operator WinSpirit, delivering a high-spec branded Live Blackjack experience.

The integration gives WinSpirit the ability to completely customise every visual element of the blackjack environment, from the set, walls and floor, to the dealer’s backdrop, with the brand’s logo and colours. This creates a high-impact, bespoke experience that drives stronger engagement between brand and player.

LuckyStreak’s green screen solution lets operators like WinSpirit create fully customised, branded live casino environments without needing physical set builds. It’s flexible, fast, and cost-effective. Operators can choose different backgrounds, themes, branding elements – even switch between them dynamically if needed.

Designed with flexibility and fast deployment in mind, LuckyStreak’s highly advanced SmartStudio system offers chroma system keys in full HD with low latency, to promise razor sharp streams. The technology offers studio-grade production, multi-camera greenscreen and a semi-dedicated table layout that enables precise drop logos, video and stills layering and vibrant colour matching. The result is a deeply immersive and visually distinct blackjack game that perfectly aligns with WinSpirit’s brand identity.

This launch reinforces LuckyStreak’s commitment to delivering versatile and custom solutions for operators looking for more tailored and brand-led experiences across their live casino offering.

Ido Kamiel, COO at LuckyStreak, said: “We’re delighted that WinSpirit has chosen to enhance their players’ blackjack experiences with our greenscreen technology. It is designed to be highly flexible to meet our customers’ diverse and individual branding needs, and simple to deploy, to really enable us to forge closer relationships between player and brand, and to ensure that those meaningful moments are unforgettable.

“We are pleased to say that this is being reflected in longer and more involved player sessions compared to their generic table KPIs.”

Oleksandr Kotsenko, Business Development Lead at WinSpirit, said: “At WinSpirit, we’re always focused on offering players more choices and enhancing their gaming experience.

“Our partnership with LuckyStreak has been a perfect step in bringing this vision to life. We’re excited about this partnership and confident that LuckyStreak will delight our players while making a fantastic addition to our library.”
