SBC Summit Latinoamérica: Exploring Traditional Verticals

As digital platforms increasingly dominate industry discussions, it’s important not to overlook the major transformations taking place in traditional sectors such as lotteries and land-based casinos.

The specialized track is scheduled for Thursday, October 31st, the final day of Latin America’s leading iGaming and sports betting event, hosted at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Miami.

Attendees can look forward to a series of discussions, including key takeaways from the recent Copa America soccer tournament and their potential to enhance customer engagement, strategies for lottery operators to attract younger audiences, an exploration of the rapidly growing Brazilian lottery market, and much more.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC said: “Lotteries and land-based casinos have long been the foundation of our industry. While it’s natural that much of the focus is now on new digital products and services, we shouldn’t overlook the huge potential for innovation in these well-established sectors.

The upcoming ‘Lotteries, Casinos & iGaming’ track will shine a light on the impressive success these verticals continue to enjoy, helping attendees discover new ways to unlock their potential, drive growth and boost engagement..”
