September is upon us, which means one of the biggest dates in the iGaming calendar is rapidly approaching. From 29 September to 1 October, the SBC Summit returns to Lisbon, bringing the international betting and gaming industry together at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena.
The Gaming International Online team will be there once again, catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones and reporting on the technology, ideas and conversations attracting attention across the show fl oor. With developers, operators, suppliers, affi liates and industry leaders arriving from around the world, it promises to provide a useful snapshot of where the sector is heading as we move towards 2027.
That forward-looking theme runs throughout this issue.
Player protection is increasingly central to discussions about the sustainable development of iGaming, and we take an in-depth look at 1xCare, the new responsible gambling initiative established by 1xBet. Bringing together research, education, technology and player support, the organisation aims to encourage greater collaboration around responsible gambling and harm prevention.
Elsewhere, our Industry Insider, Mark McGuinness examines the evolution of the sportsbook. It’s a sector that continues to change rapidly as new technology, data, personalisation and shifting player expectations infl uence how operators build and differentiate their products.
Affi liates also remain a vital part of the iGaming ecosystem, so this issue’s Affi liate Showcase turns the spotlight on Big Betty Partners, RavenTrack and Makeberry Affi liates, looking at different approaches to acquisition, tracking and performance marketing.
It all makes for a packed issue – and an equally busy few days ahead in Lisbon. If you’re heading to SBC Summit too, we’ll see you there.
