SBC Summit Americas is reinforcing its commitment to promoting safer gambling by integrating the previously standalone Player Protection Symposium into the event’s core conference agenda.
This strategic move ensures that all registered delegates will have access to discussions, insights, and best practices around player protection, cementing the topic as a central pillar of the 2025 summit.
The Player Protection Symposium will be held on May 14 in the Palm Room (Level 2) at the Broward County Convention Center. Featuring a focused conference agenda and networking opportunities, the symposium will offer a dedicated space for operators, regulators, compliance experts and technology providers to share strategies for player protection.
“I think it’s clear to everyone that player safety is no longer a side conversation. It should be a central focus for every company operating in our industry,” said SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark.
“That’s why we’ve integrated the Player Protection Symposium into the main SBC Summit Americas agenda, ensuring it is front and center and fully accessible to all attendees without the need for a separate ticket or early arrival. By embedding it into the core program, we’re opening up these crucial discussions to a much wider audience, creating greater opportunities for learning, collaboration, and progress.”
With SBC Summit Americas now bringing together North and Latin America, the new dedicated track offers Latin American stakeholders a unique opportunity to access deeper conversations around player protection. Although SBC Summit Latinoamérica touched on the topic through individual panels, it never hosted a full track on the subject. This new format also paves the way for greater knowledge sharing between the two regions.
The Player Protection Symposium will feature seven panels in total, tackling a wide range of issues related to player safety. Sessions will cover topics such as analyzing affordability and risk checks, the role of technology in early harm detection, how operators can work with regulators and the overall development of safer gambling tools and strategies.
The symposium will open with a look at the North American market and the effect of financial risk checks on player behaviors. Financial Risk Checks: An Essential Tool for Player Safety or the Black Market’s New Best Friend? will feature Craig Cornforth (Senior Business Development Director, EPIC Global Solutions), Rebekah Jackson (Director of Gaming, GBG), Martin Lycka (SVP for American Regulatory Affairs and Responsible Gambling, Entain) and Declan Raines (Senior Director – US Gaming, TransUnion) exploring how affordability checks shape player behavior and how the industry can meet compliance demands while reducing the risk of driving players toward unregulated markets.
The panel titled From Obligation to Opportunity: Driving Success Through Responsible Gambling will focus on both the LATAM and North American markets, discussing how proactive responsible gambling strategies can drive long-term commercial success across both regions. Featuring player protection experts Sarah Brennan (Senior Director, Compliance, BetMGM), Paul Buck (CEO, EPIC Global Solutions), Dr. Mary Donohue (CEO & Founder, The Digital Wellness Center), Charmaine Hogan (Head of Regulatory Affairs, Playtech), Martin Lycka (Regulation & Responsible Gambling Expert) and Dr. Jennifer Shatley (Executive Director, Responsible Online Gaming Association.
Safeguarding the Next Generation: Addressing Underage Gambling Risks will examine the need for companies to prevent underage gambling across Latin America. The panel features Samer Atassi (VP of Latin America, Jumio), Ezequiel Dominguez (Director de Loterias, Loteria de Buenos Aires (LOTBA), Dr. Agustin Li Gambi (Director General, IJAN), Ida Lopez (President, ALEA), Iliana Pineda(Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Wplay),and Tatiana Vazquez (Socia – Directora, V&I Consultores Legales)as they explore technology-focused solutions to protect vulnerable youth and ensure responsible gaming practice across the region.
Away from the Player Protection Symposium, attendees will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of both the LATAM and North American markets through tracks such as the Payment Expert Summit, Leaders, Affiliates and Masterclasses on new and upcoming regulations.
