The SBC Summit 2025 is set to welcome 30,000 global stakeholders this September in Lisbon with a three-day, six-stage conference covering all facets of the betting and gaming industry. However, industry professionals may be surprised to see no dedicated iGaming & Casino track listed.

Rather than an oversight, SBC organizers reveal the decision is strategic. With attendees representing over 130 countries, the agenda has been carefully curated to integrate iGaming and casino discussions across multiple sessions. This approach reflects the complex, region-specific dynamics of the global online gambling sector, projected to hit $117.5 billion by 2025.
