Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC said: “This is an excellent chance for our attendees to make the most of their time at the show.

The following three Masterclasses have already been confirmed:
Masterclass with Sportsbook Training Services
The masterclass will feature Jonathan Smith, the founder of Sportsbook Training Services, who has over 25 years of experience in the betting industry. Smith has held various odds-compiling roles for major fixed odds and spread betting firms in the UK.

During this session, they will learn the core principles, including the mathematical theories and statistical models behind odds compiling. The session will explore where prices originate, both in theory and practice, how data suppliers create odds, and what exactly you are purchasing from them. Additionally, attendees will learn strategies to predict sports outcomes with greater accuracy.
On Wednesday, a Practical Demonstration centred on an English Premier League Match will guide attendees through pricing a football match, creating core markets, and developing bookings and corner markets, while also understanding how these markets integrate into BetBuilders.
Understanding Electronic Gaming Management
Led by Lucien (Lucas) Wijsman, renowned for his role at The Slot Academy (now the Electronic Gaming Academy). Wijsman has extensive experience advising land-based casino operators across Europe and other regions worldwide.
On Tuesday, the Electronic Gaming Player Expectations and Motivations session will focus on identifying and categorising casino visitor profiles to inform effective marketing strategies, as understanding their varied expectations and motivations is key to defining product mix and pricing.
Wednesday’s session, Product and Price Considerations, will examine how minimum and maximum bet settings on slot machines affect earning potential.
The final session on Thursday, Bet Based Promotions on Electronic Gaming Machines, will explore game configurations and concepts, analysing what makes games appealing to specific player categories, with a focus on RTP, game duration, and volatility.
Counterterrorism, Crisis Response & Cybersecurity Masterclass
Conducted by Noel G. Whelan, who has a 30-year career spanning military and counter-terrorism environments. Whelan holds a Master of Arts Degree in Counter-Terrorism and Security from Leeds University.
On Tuesday, the Surviving the Corporate Red 10 session will offer a simulated crisis experience, enhancing leadership and problem-solving abilities in high-pressure situations. Key takeaways include strategy creation, crisis response methods, leadership techniques, advanced public speaking, and establishing an emergency chain of command.
Wednesday’s session, Deterrence Against Terrorism & Money Laundering, will focus on understanding the risks non-state actors pose to the digital economy and developing strategies to safeguard against exploitation.
On Thursday, the Avoiding the Victim State session will address defending against cyber attacks, highlighting risk identification, and internal vulnerabilities, and creating tailored strategies to protect company assets and reputation.
“We’ve made sure that participants will walk away with certification, and by including subjects like sports betting, casino management, and cybersecurity, we’re truly addressing a wide range of interests,” Sojmark added.

TRUEiGTECH Unveils Enterprise-Grade Prediction Market Platform for Operators
TRUEiGTECH has announced the development of an enterprise-grade prediction market platform designed to help operators, platform owners, and institutions launch outcome-based or event-driven trading markets at scale.
As traditional sports betting, media monetization, and trading platforms face increasing competition and regulatory complexity, prediction markets are emerging as an adjacent category with significant growth potential. By converting collective expectations into tradable probability signals, these markets provide operators with a differentiated product without requiring entirely new user acquisition channels.
TRUEiGTECH built prediction markets are already used by operators across the USA and Europe with additional deployments underway. Prediction markets have transitioned from experimental niche platforms to primary offerings by iGaming operators.
Analysts forecast leading prediction platforms will handle roughly $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030, up from about $10 billion today. Revenue, meanwhile, could rise to $10 billion+ by 2030.
TRUEiGTECH’s decision to build prediction market software and platforms at this juncture will certainly prove useful for business owners and operators looking to enter the industry with the right product.
Operators are increasingly drawn to this segment because it offers:
- A “bet-on-anything” model, enabling markets across business, finance, entertainment, politics, and emerging trends.
- Faster entry compared to traditional sportsbooks, especially for existing iGaming operators with established infrastructure.
- Early-mover advantage in a category that is still taking shape globally.
- Strong momentum in the U.S. market & across the globe, where demand for event-driven participation continues to accelerate.
TRUEiGTECH Offers Prediction Market Platforms in Multiple Ways
TRUEiGTECH’s co-founder, Prish Kumar, shares the multiple models and solutions available as a part of the company’s prediction market offerings.
“We provide turnkey and bespoke prediction market platform development solutions. Plus, we also offer prediction market clone development and prediction market API integration solutions.”
With TRUEiGTECH, operators can launch prediction markets or extend existing business offerings. By focusing on flexibility and scalability, TRUEiGTECH aims to position prediction markets as an accessible expansion path rather than a complex standalone venture.
With this launch, TRUEiGTECH enters the prediction market space as an infrastructure provider focused on enabling operators to build and launch regulation-ready prediction platforms in the USA, Europe and other regulated markets.

58% of respondents like the“warmy” archetype. Rocket Match by RocketPlay became “ Valentine’s Tinder in Gaming”.
This Valentine’s, RocketPlay tested a playful idea: players who seek thrills in gaming don’t necessarily want intensity in everything — including relationships. Instead of asking users to pick a “perfect partner,” RocketPlay launched Rocket Match, a fast, flirty quiz that matches players with a vibe: Bold, Sunny, Dreamy, or Adventurous.
Early Results Flip the Stereotype
Around 58% of participants matched with the Sunny archetype — defined by warmth, charm, and easy-going fun. The experiment suggests that when it comes to Valentine’s, RocketPlay’s community prefers light-hearted connection over drama or high stakes.
What Rocket Match Is
Rocket Match is a Valentine’s matchmaking quiz built inside the RocketPlay Universe. Players answer five simple, no-wrong-answer questions and instantly discover their match vibe.
The goal: move away from typical Valentine’s content that swings between overly serious romance or clichéd tropes. Rocket Match keeps it flirty, playful, and moment-focused, letting players discover a vibe rather than a label.
The four vibes include:
-
Bold – confident, high-energy, loves bigger sparks
-
Sunny – easy-going, playful, social, effortlessly charming
-
Dreamy – soft, romantic, focused on atmosphere and emotion
-
Adventurous – playful risk-taker, spontaneous, curious
Community Insights from Rocket Match
The quiz quickly gained traction, with 7,000+ completions, revealing a strong preference: Sunny, the archetype defined by warmth, lightness, and charm.

Alex Martin, PR Lead at RocketPlay, said:
“What we liked most about Rocket Match is how clearly it captured the mood people actually want on Valentine’s. It wasn’t about labels or big statements — it was about light energy, easy chemistry, and a feel-good kind of connection. That’s the vibe we try to build across the brand: simple to join, fun in the moment, and positive without the drama.”
Why It Matters
Rocket Match was more than a Valentine’s gimmick. It offered a snapshot of what RocketPlay’s community enjoys most: light energy, playful interaction, and feel-good connections. By turning a pop-culture moment into a small experiment, RocketPlay gained insight into player preferences, informing how the brand continues to design engaging, fun, and positive experiences.
