The Future of White-Label Solutions and How to Choose the Right Partner
A White-Label solution holds various benefits for brand owners. From a time-to-market point of view, it allows a quick penetration to the online gambling market, in some cases a white-label brand can be launched within a few weeks. Acquiring a B2C iGaming license requires resources like time, money and effort. Without the right know-how, it can take months for the brand owner to obtain it. With a White-label solution, the new brand is run on the supplier B2C license and the process in front of the regulator is much simpler. This advantage is greater in cases where the brand owner would like to start with multiple jurisdictions. Some brand owners do not have the know-how to start an iGaming operation, don’t want to gain it or would rather not deal with the day-to-day operation.
Holding hands-on experience, the white-label supplier brings all the required knowledge per jurisdiction. The brand owner does not need to learn which are the required payment methods and what should be their configuration. Regarding content, the supplier knows which sports, leagues, betting offering, casino and live casino games works best for the target audience. In a White-label solution the supplier brings to the table not only its technology but an umbrella of full managed services.
The relationships between the brand owner and the white-label supplier are usually more engaging than in the case of a turnkey solution. Both parties act as partners and both have the incentive to run a cost-effective and successful operation. This relationship is built on trust. The brand owner trusts the white-label supplier to manage his players in the best way possible, to keep the operation complaint, to configure bonuses in a way that removes the option for bonus abusing, to configure and enforce anti-fraud and AML processes.
In some cases, brand owners chose a white-label solution because they want to get away from the liability of running an iGaming solution. Until a decade ago, the white-label supplier mainly dealt with the player management liability. The emergence of regulated markets added a new liability to maintain the license and meet with everchanging regulation requirements. In recent years some white-label providers have pulled away from most or all regulated markets to remove the burden of the regulation liability and the financial risks that come with it.
As a result, some brand owners turned to acquire an iGaming license and move to a turnkey solution and some even turned to develop their own platform. It was not too long before some of these businesses realized that running their own operation is very costly and quite a difficult task. They now moved to have full liability on the entire operation, and some started to miss the old days when they were just handled the marketing traffic. Those who went to build their own technology realized that it takes many years and a lot of manpower to build a successful platform.
While the advantages are clear, fast time to market and the ability for the brand owner to focus on online marketing alone, the road to success is partnering up with an experienced provider with an excellent reputation. The brand owner needs to choose a white-label partner that he can trust in the running of his operation. One that delivers. Some white-label providers only offer a casino product and are coupled with a 3rd party Sport solution or they simply lack Sport altogether. It is important to partner up with a white-label provider that has a Sport product of their own. There are several advantages for doing this, the brand owner has a homogenous one-stop-shop solution for casino and Sport, cross-vertical retention capabilities, cross-sale tools from Sports to Casino, full traffic tracking per source. It is important to pick a supplier that really has the right payment solutions for each market. Brand owners need to look for a trustworthy partner that can support their current needs. They need to assess whether this partner will value their business and continue to support them throughout their partnership. For example, when entering additional markets or in developing specific functionalities for their operation. The right white-label supplier will bring the right technology that can quickly enter a newly regulated market as well as to adapt to the changes of existing ones, and managed services that allow brands to distinguish themselves in the competitive environment. For instance player retention tools and their correct configuration, tournaments, gamification and more.
The future of the iGaming white-label solution depends more on the suppliers than the brand owners themselves. The business case for suppliers needs to accommodate the additional regulation liability and effort. Brand owners will need to be willing to pay the extra fees for regulation services like automated KYC, additional personnel etc. In some markets like the US tribal gaming it will be required for a technology supplier to provide fully managed services due to lack of knowledge. In cases like that the white-label supplier will provide a full white-label solution except for owning the skin. We will see more affiliates deciding to own their brand and send the traffic to it rather than to 3rd party brands. This, in turn, will allow them not only to do what they do best i.e. acquiring quality traffic but also to be able to have involvement in content, bonus schemes etc. The level of this involvement depends on each affiliate.

The SBC Summit 2025 took place from 16–18 September at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) and the MEO Arena in Lisbon, and the numbers and atmosphere confirm why SBC describes it as “the greatest show in iGaming.” Speaking at a dedicated press conference, SBC Events’ Managing Director Andrew McCarron and Senior Marketing Director Dennis Algreen shared the story behind this year’s record-breaking edition, its wider impact, and what comes next.
A Global Gathering for the iGaming Industry
The Lisbon event attracted over 30,000 attendees – a 20% increase on 2024 – representing 150 countries. Growth was visible across all audience segments, with operator attendance rising by 31% and affiliates by 38%. Importantly, the summit hosted nearly 6,000 C-level decision-makers, a concentration of senior leadership rarely seen at any industry event.
The show spanned 135,000m² across five expo halls and networking areas, supported by 700 sponsors and exhibitors – including 235 new partners. Regional participation also surged, particularly from Africa (+78%), Asia (+69%), and Latin America (+40%).
Exhibitors included iGaming suppliers, Online Casino and Sports Betting operators, Affiliates, Payment Providers, and more.
Beyond the numbers, Dennis Algreen emphasised that Lisbon has now firmly become “our global event” – expanded, and elevated after the success of its debut in Lisbon.
Content for Every Gaming Market
SBC placed special focus on tailoring content for a global audience. The new Global & Emerging Markets Stages highlighted different regions each day, giving attendees a direct window into growth areas like Africa, Asia, and Latin America, while for the rest of the agenda, the Summit revisited developments in more established territories. This dual approach ensured the event spoke to both established operators and those planning their expansion into emerging jurisdictions.
The introduction of Tech Academies was a new addition, offering hands-on learning about AI, blockchain, Web3, and other transformative technologies.
Headliners and Highlights
The Super Stage brought star power and inspiration, with headline speakers such as Gary Vaynerchuk, Randi Zuckerberg, Rubens Barrichello, and Oleksandr Usyk. The agenda was bolstered by more than 550 speakers across themed tracks, including the Affiliate Leaders Summit and Payments Expert Summit.
New additions in 2025 expanded SBC’s cultural and community footprint. A Food Festival enlivened networking areas, while the Affiliate Leaders Awards debuted as a standalone celebration of affiliate excellence.
Meanwhile, the Legends Charity Game became one of the most memorable features. Football icons including Roberto Carlos, Alessandro Del Piero, Marek Hamšík, and Giorgos Karagounis took to the pitch, raising significant donations for charity. The match was broadcast in more than 90 jurisdictions, with half a million online viewers in Spain alone.
Wider Impact on Lisbon’s Economy
The summit’s footprint was felt well beyond the venue. With more than 72,000 room nights booked, SBC Summit 2025 brought a measurable boost to Lisbon’s tourism and hospitality sector. Collaboration with local authorities was crucial, from traffic and zoning adjustments to logistical support, underlining how the city has embraced the summit as a flagship annual event.
McCarron noted: “This has a significance for the local community now. Lisbon knows us, works with us, and the impact is tangible.”
Networking, Community, and Culture
Networking remained a cornerstone. Dedicated areas linked directly to the conference stages, making it easier for delegates to connect around specific topics. The organisers also highlighted initiatives like SBC First Pitch, giving startups a chance to present their innovations, and Women in Gaming events, which included networking gatherings and super stage discussions on women in tech, sports, and gaming.
Entertainment, too, played a role. The Infinity closing party showcased world-class DJs Alok and Timmy Trumpet, giving attendees the chance to celebrate and unwind after an intense week of business.
European Gaming Media in the Room
European Gaming Media was present at SBC’s press conference, raising two questions to the organisers:
- Why choose Lisbon for SBC’s “global event”?
Algreen explained that while multiple factors played a role, venue capacity and accessibility were decisive:
“When you put on an event of this scale, suitable options in Europe are limited. Lisbon offers one of the biggest indoor arenas in Europe, which allows us to deliver everything from the Super Stage to Infinity. Combined with the city’s beauty, weather, hospitality, and its strategic connection to Brazil – the next major growth market – it became the perfect choice.”
- What’s next after breaking all these highs in 2025?
McCarron underlined that the immediate focus is on consolidating feedback and data, but pointed towards one clear direction:
“Emerging technologies will be a priority. From AI to blockchain and Web3, our goal is to make sure the industry is not just aware, but educated, so they can take their businesses forward. This year proved we can keep raising the bar, but we won’t rest – the summit is meant to be the greatest show in gaming, and that vision continues.”
SBC Summit in the Future: Looking Ahead
With its mix of scale, global reach, and innovative additions, SBC Summit 2025 laid the foundations for its organisers’ vision of a global event in the gaming industry calendar. The organisers confirmed that Lisbon will continue to host the summit, with next year’s edition already scheduled slightly later in September.
For attendees, exhibitors, and the city itself, SBC Summit 2025 was more than just an industry showcase – it was a statement of ambition and impact.
