Focusing on Player Safety at SBC Summit's Player Protection Segment
The SBC Summit, taking place at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa from September 16-18, is set to bring together some of the most influential voices in player safety and player protection. The event will provide a platform for discussions on key issues in player protection and responsible gaming, with a particular focus on the Player Protection stage.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, has expressed his enthusiasm for the Player Protection stage, emphasising its continued commitment to delivering on its core mission. This year, the stage will address three distinct topics: regulation, technology, and research.
On Tuesday, September 16, the discussions at the Player Protection stage will focus on regulation and unintended consequences, strict compliance measures, and whether they drive players offshore. Among the attendees appearing on the stage on this day are Richard Hayler (Managing Director, IBAS), David Foster (Head of Regulatory Affairs, Entain), and Dr Maris Catania (Director of Player Sustainability, LeoVegas).
On Thursday, September 17, the discussions at the Player Protection stage will shift to how research can impact player protection. On this day, Dr Alexandra Koerner (Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Grand Casino Baden AG) and Katie Reynolds-Jones (Chief Marketing Officer, GamStop) are among the confirmed speakers.
Thursday, September 18, will see the Player Protection stage fully dedicated to technology and how new and emerging tech can help keep players safe. Savo Bakmaz (CEO, Maxbet) and Monica Shafaq (CEO, Gordon Moody) are some of the speakers expected to attend. Global approaches to affordability and risk management will be a part of the discussions on this day.
Moreover, the discussions on Thursday will specifically focus on AI's impact on player behavior and the reasons unlicensed websites continue to attract new players despite the implied risks.
The Player Protection stage is accessible to 30,000 delegates, ensuring a wide range of perspectives and ideas are shared and considered. For those interested in specific speakers from 2022, the SBC Summit's official website or a direct contact with them would be the best sources of information.
Rasmus Sojmark believes that operators that succeed long term will be those that genuinely embed safety into their model. The SBC Summit 2022, with its focus on player protection, is a testament to this belief and a significant step towards creating a safer and more responsible gaming environment.
