SBC Summit 2025: New Technology Stage Takes the Spotlight in Lisbon

With more than 30,000 delegates set to attend, the summit’s new Technology Stage will explore the pivotal role of tech innovation in modern iGaming. Expert-led panels will examine the digital evolution of the sector, offering real-world strategies for improving user experience, optimising operations, and ensuring regulatory readiness.

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Growth, efficiency, and compliance now rely on smart innovation. The new Technology Stage is our answer to that shift.  No matter your vertical, if you’re not paying attention to the next wave of tech, you’re already behind. From payments to product, it’s a must-attend for anyone looking to build smarter, faster, and stronger."

Day One - Payments: The opening day will provide delegates with an in-depth look at payment technology, examining how AI and blockchain are reshaping transaction processes. Speakers will discuss the rise of open banking, the push toward decentralised finance, and how to deliver seamless payment experiences for users.

Day Two - Technology: The second day will assess player experience and how brands can create seamless interactions for users. Panels will explore whether subscription models could take hold in gaming, analyse how AI is powering personalised betting tools, and ask how improved UX and UI design can drive retention without alienating traditional players.

Day Three - Compliance: The final day will look at compliance in the digital age. Sessions will cover AI-powered fraud detection, advanced KYC processes, and tools for monitoring player behaviour in real time. Speakers will also examine how cryptocurrency is reshaping regulatory risk and what operators need to do to stay ahead.

Top voices in betting and iGaming tech, bringing hands-on experience with the technologies shaping the future of the industry, will share their knowledge on the Technology Stage. Speakers include: Aidan Barry (Group Head of Sportsbook, FEG), Olena Demchenko (Head of AML, FDJ United), Mike Goode (CFO, Kwiff), Enrico Giancaterina (Executive Managing Director, Funtech Games), Anders Karlsen (Co-Founder & CEO, SISU Group), Nikola Lero (Head of Casino and Sport, Gentoo Media), Constanza Muñoz Torres (Chief Compliance Officer/Chief Legal, Estelar Bet), and Christian Reinheimer (Group Director Payments Product, LeoVegas Group).

The Technology stage, located in the green zone (Payment Expert Summit), is one of six core content stages at SBC Summit 2025, alongside the Global Markets, Emerging Markets, Affiliate Leaders, Player Protection and Super Stage.
