SBC has signed a long-term agreement to keep its flagship Summit event in Lisbon through 2030, securing the Portuguese capital as the consistent host city for the next several years.
The agreement involves Turismo de Portugal, the Municipality of Lisbon, and Lisboa FCE, formalising Lisbon’s role as the home of the SBC Summit until at least 2030. This commitment offers stability for attendees, including players, bettors, and industry professionals, by ensuring the event remains in a familiar location. Consistency in venue can simplify travel planning and budgeting for those attending annually.
The SBC Summit is a major event where the latest gambling products, technologies, and responsible gambling initiatives are showcased and discussed. Keeping the Summit anchored in Lisbon means innovations introduced there will continue to reflect the regulatory environment and player protection standards prevalent in the region. This benefits players by promoting safer gambling practices and encouraging development of tools aimed at reducing gambling-related harm.
Lisbon’s ongoing role as host city also supports collaboration between event organisers and local authorities. This partnership helps reinforce consumer safeguards and highlights responsible gambling measures, including emerging risks and new player protection technologies. Attendees can expect the Summit to maintain a strong focus on these areas in the coming years.
While the agreement primarily secures the event’s location, players and bettors may see indirect benefits from the Summit’s presence in Lisbon. The event draws significant industry attention to the European market and often serves as a launchpad for new player-focused products and services. For example, recent editions have showcased innovations like BETBY’s SlotBets, a product blending sports betting and casino gaming designed to engage younger, digitally native consumers.
The Summit also provides a platform for discussions on tackling illegal gambling and enhancing regulatory frameworks, which can influence player protection policies across Europe. Initiatives such as the pilot project between Paf and Facebook to target black market ads, announced at the Summit, demonstrate the event’s role in promoting safer gambling environments.
