Atlas-IAC unveils its automated tools & next generation “no-risk” sportsbook at SBC Summit Barcelona
Atlas-IAC, the leading sportsbook and PAM software developer, will make its debut at SBC Summit Barcelona, Europe’s premier sports betting and igaming summit, next week at the Catalan capital’s renowned Fira de Barcelona Montjuïc exhibition centre (20-22 September), where Atlas delegates will be on hand to unpack its latest plans and innovative product suite at Stand E1.
Atlas-IAC will take this timely opportunity to showcase its diverse, cutting-edge automated trading tools and fully automated CRM solution, which allows the complete management of customer marketing and communication activities in one place. Customers can be grouped into profiled segments based on site activity, betting behaviour, deposit regularity and a host of additional personal traits.
Get in touch to book a meeting to discuss the full platform; consider its “no-risk” sportsbook option; evaluate its in-built CRM and trading tools, built by some of the finest trading minds in the business. Or simply stop by Stand E1, where a host of team delegates will be waiting to greet you or arrange an easy-to-follow demonstration.
Atlas-IAC’s next-generation sportsbook can also now be integrated as an iFrame on a no-risk structure, running off unique pricing models – allowing users to enjoy sophisticated and reactive in-play odds up to the last second of a game, with competitive pricing on all sports. This service arrives in perfect time for this autumn’s relentless sporting schedule, including the forthcoming football World Cup.
Atlas-IAC’s modern technology helps to overcome local regulatory challenges with a light physical deployment backed up by centralised control systems. The company has always placed a strong premium on social responsibility and its solution offers full workflow management across AML and customer interactions as well as flexible tools for self-exclusion, time-outs and self-imposed limits.
Among Atlas’ assorted tailored solutions for European operators are localized sports betting products, coupled with data feed solutions and a full suite of casino and skill-based games.
Richard Thorp, Strategic Advisor to Atlas-IAC and RPM Gaming Director, said: “After a stunning summer of sport, SBC Summit Barcelona brings together many of the sector’s heavy hitters for a timely think tank. At Atlas and RPM, we’re solving for how the industry can best provide operators and bettors with engaging, innovative betting experiences across some tent-pole, revenue-driving events this autumn – dominated, as ever, by the football World Cup (invariably a defining moment for revenue and new-account growth) but not forgetting many other sports, of course, like the T20 World Cup cricket, and the recently renewed NFL campaign stateside.
“Thanks to our progressive partnership with Atlas-IAC, we now provide unrivalled customised platform solutions, industry-leading automation and world-class support. To learn more about Atlas-IAC’s automated technology and the benefits of our platform, just drop us a line, or pop by Stand E1 where my team and I look forward to welcoming you.
“Furthermore, should any operator or casino be looking to mitigate the potential risk of integrating a new sportsbook, our sportsbook solution can now uniquely underwrite all the trading downside for running its services as a statement of intent and the ability of its underlying platform to deliver in any global market.
“The idea behind it is mainly aimed at casino operators or other single product operators, especially ones that aren’t used to a sportsbook solution itself. For example, those who wouldn’t want to have a trading team; they might ostensibly baulk at the typical risks involved in running a sportsbook. Sportsbooks used to be seen by some as a high-risk offering, or a volatile area in which to operate. But our simple concept is, if you are a casino operator, we will integrate as an iframe into your platform – and we will underwrite all the risk. You literally don’t have to burn any fuel managing it, nor worrying about it. We’ll take care of everything. And if there is any downside, as I say, we’ll underwrite that.”
Sergei Efimenko, CEO of Atlas-IAC, added: “SBC Summit Barcelona is a must-attend event, and there’s a real momentum behind this year’s renewal at the revered Fira de Barcelona Montjuïc, particularly when all the challenges of the pandemic have created such a pent-up demand to reconnect in the real world. It’s fantastic to be back together. I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality, quantity and diversity of the delegates on site, so we can’t wait to catch up with old and new friends alike.
“As for our leading sportsbook platform, we’re supremely confident in the automation. Plus, we know how to manage diverse customer bases, premised on their history and the patterns of behaviour. So, whatever previous concerns may’ve been around operating a sportsbook (e.g. betting just before an event starts, betting at a time where there’s potentially an unreliable feed) we have the tools to spot that and correct for it. As a result, for us, underwriting wasn’t a big challenge, and we are willing to offer that on a competitive revenue-share model for new partners.
“The Atlas-IAC team will be on Stand E1 throughout the week. Please contact our friendly staff to organise a demonstration of the most modern and thorough platform in the betting and gaming industry. Nos vemos en Barcelona!”

Shaping the Future of Esports: ICE Esports Arena provides essential insights
The ICE Esports Arena at ICE Barcelona 2025 plays a key role in educating people about esports and how to access, integrate and regulate this growing vertical, says Clarion Gaming’s leader in Emerging Technology and Esports.
“Part of the role of the Esports Arena and The Esports and Games Conference is explaining exactly what esports is,” said Will Harding. “There is still work to be done in helping regulators to better understand esports. That’s why showcasing esports here at ICE is so important – we’re empowering people who are at the forefront of shaping regulatory policy.”
The ICE Esports Arena continues to grow year-on-year, with four world-ranked professional Counter-Strike 2 teams competing live at ICE 2025 for a US$25,000 prize pool. This year’s winners were 500 (Bulgaria: World ranking: 47).
“In terms of attendees, we have a whole spectrum of people here, from those that are still shocked that computer games have anything to do with sports betting to those that have built incredible businesses around esports,” Harding continued.
“There are also a number of visitors who realise that esports is significant for their business in terms of revenue but don’t necessarily know how to access this vertical, and we’re here to guide them toward unlocking its full potential.
“But the one thing which is absolutely certain is that esports betting is here to stay and it’s going to continue to grow”
He also praised headline partners, esports betting experts Oddin.gg, for their contribution in helping explain why esports is such a commercially important vertical for operators.
“Oddin.gg has been an excellent partner in realising the Esports Arena. Holding a professional esports tournament is a big endeavour. As our headline sponsor, Oddin.gg has played a key role in showcasing how the data and the odds work. They have helped complete the education journey,” he affirmed.
Commenting on ICE’s move to Barcelona, Harding highlighted that both the city and the show’s new venue Fira Barcelona Gran Via have extensive experience with esports, providing a perfect location for the ICE Esports Arena’s continuing expansion.
“It’s very established here. You can walk around Barcelona and see large-scale internet cafes catering for esports fans,” he added. “This represents an ideal foundation for the continued growth of the Esports Arena and The Esports and Games Conference in the years ahead.”
