N1 Partners once again proved its strength in the industry at the SBC Summit 2025 in Lisbon, held from September 16 to 18. With its Surf on the Wave to Success concept, the company brought a surf-inspired atmosphere to the event and returned home with a prestigious recognition.

• Hundreds of Surf on the Wave to Success merch packs delivered to partners
• Strategic discussions on ongoing campaigns, including the year-long N1 Puzzle Promo running until the end of 2025

“Lisbon gave us the chance to meet with our top partners, strengthen relationships, and exchange insights on offers and analytics that drive efficiency. We also focused on strategies for the N1 Puzzle Promo — a campaign that continues until the end of the year and culminates with the grand prize of a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter. These conversations are exactly what keeps our partnerships growing stronger,” — added Alexa Bond.

Surf Trip Dreams Come True

At the booth, the company organized a raffle for an all-inclusive surf camp trip, which included flights, villa accommodation, professional coaching, and a custom surfboard. More than 100 guests of the N1 Partners booth participated, and one lucky winner received the prize.

“I love winning. And when I saw the giveaway, I knew I had to be there. The idea of ‘Surfing On the Waves to Success’ really resonates with me. I believe that success is not just luck, but alignment — the inner and outer work that underpins true achievement.” — shared the winner.

Making Waves in Media and Community

The N1 Partners booth remained vibrant throughout the summit. The company speakers  joined over 10 interviews and live media sessions with leading affiliate outlets and iGaming brands. The N1 Partners team also attended/visited the SBC Legends Charity Game, supporting the initiative that aligns with the brand’s values and sharing in the positive spirit of the event.

Today, Video Games Europe is proud to launch the ‘Pixels to Policy’ campaign – a comprehensive showcase of the economy, the jobs, the games, and the vast consumer choices provided by Europe’s creative and digital trailblazing video game sector.

The campaign strives to explain the industry to people who aren’t familiar with video games – and to ensure that policymakers around Europe are well-informed about an industry that creates a pastime enjoyed by 54% of Europe’s population, employs 116,419 skilled workers and has a revenue of 26.8 bn Euros.

Video Games Europe’s CEO, Simon Little, said: “It can be difficult to explain the multi-faceted nature of video games and the sector as a whole – especially to people who may not have picked up a pad, or turned on a PC or console to experience the many joys and benefits of video game play.  We hope that this campaign will enlighten, inform and inspire.”

The campaign will explain:

1. the industry makeup and how games are made.
2. what PEGI is and how it strives to protect those who play online.
3. the many business models and why they have been created.
4. the huge consumer choice available, may it be genres of games, platforms to play them on, free or paid games, games for an older audience or for all ages, in-game activities, single or multi-player games, and much more.

The UK Gambling Commission has announced that the Advisory Board for Safer Gambling (ABSG) will close following the completion of its original remit.

ABSG was established to provide oversight and challenge in relation to the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms. With the conclusion of that strategy and the delivery of key milestones, the Commission has determined that the time is right to bring ABSG’s work to a close and to focus on new arrangements better aligned to the next phase of research and regulation.

Over the course of its work, ABSG has contributed to several important developments in gambling regulation, including:

• recognition of gambling harms as a public health issue
• ensuring the voices of those with lived experience are included in policy and regulation through the creation of the Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP)
• supporting the introduction of the statutory levy to fund independent research, education and treatment.

The Commission will now begin work to establish a new research-focused expert group to support the expanded role of research made possible through levy funding.

Andrew Rhodes, Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission, said: “ABSG has played an important role in shaping how we think about gambling harms, and embedding lived experience perspectives into regulation. I want to thank all current and former members for their contribution and commitment.

“As we move into a new phase with the implementation of research programmes funded by the statutory levy, our priority is to ensure we have the right expert input to help inform our work. This is the right time to close ABSG and establish new arrangements that reflect the future needs of our gambling regulation and research.”

Helen Child, Head of Governance said: “ABSG have made a huge contribution to gambling regulation and the Commission. I am grateful for the insight, engagement and challenge each and every member has provided.”
