SBC is gearing up to launch its debut Earnings & More:Capital Markets Forum event at the iconic New York Stock Exchange on May 6, offering 200 attendees a blend of learning and networking opportunities with leading experts.

This exclusive event, organized in collaboration with Earnings+More, aims to unite top minds from investment banks, M&A, and strategic advisory firms, alongside financial analysts and senior decision-makers from the gambling industry. Together, through a series of conference sessions, they will discuss pivotal trends shaping the betting and iGaming space in the United States and globally.

Conference Sessions

As the era of readily available capital wanes, private equity finds itself under pressure to validate its value proposition. Experts Adam Rosenberg (Senior Advisor | Gaming & Leisure, Blackstone), Joel H. Simkins (Managing Director, Houlihan Lokey), Nanette Heide (Global Chair, Private Equity Group, Duane Morris), and John Decree (Analyst, Global Commercial Real Estate Services) will dissect the specific contributions private equity can make to the gaming industry by evaluating its industry-related historical performance. Among other topics, the ‘Private Equity and Gaming’ panelists will elaborate on which companies they identify as promising targets for private equity involvement, both in the public market and among privately owned enterprises.

The ‘Billion-dollar Babies: The Swing to Profitability’ panel will explore the implications of the shift towards profitability and the rise of billion-dollar EBITDA giants for the rest of the United States’ online sports betting and online casino industry. The panelists will answer questions such as the repercussions the substantial profits amassed by sector frontrunners will have on others in the field, as well as how those earnings are going to be utilized. Andrew Fabian (Investment Banking – Global Technology Group, Citi), Barry Jonas (Managing Director, Truist Securities), Cassandra Lee (Senior Associate, Bettor Capital), and Chad Beynon (Senior Equity Analyst, Macquarie) will also discuss whether the industry will witness increased merger and acquisition activities, among other key discussion points.

As the trend of European companies struggling to penetrate the North American market prompts questions about their ongoing aspirations, the ‘Safe European Home: What do Withdrawals from North America Say about Future Ambitions?’ panel will delve into the associated challenges of the companies retracting their presence from North America. With concerns over wasted capital and failed ventures looming large, Ramy Ibrahim (Managing Director, Moelis & Company), Matt Sodl (Founding Partner & President, Innovation Capital), and Robin Chhabra (CEO, Tekkorp) will discuss strategies for assuaging investor apprehensions and articulating future plans. Scott Longley (CEO, Clear Concise Media) will moderate the session.

As the trend of continuously expanding portfolios with bolt-on deals becomes more challenging, the ‘No More Worlds to Conquer: What Happens When the Bolt-On Deals Dry Up?’ panel shifts the discussion to the future of M&A activity. Sandford Loudon (Partner, Oakvale Capital), Thomas Nicholls (Managing Director, Strategic Advisory Group, PJT Partners), Adam Berger (Partner, Duane Morris), and James Brodie (Head of Interactive, International, MGM Interactive) will zoom in on the quest for value-enhancing deals in Europe and beyond and analyze whether the era of the bolt-on juggernaut is nearing its end, with such opportunities dwindling and shareholders growing increasingly wary of costly expansions.

While the spotlight has largely been on the expansion of sports betting in the United States, the slower progress of online casino legalization at the state level has received less attention. Panelists Davis Catlin (Managing Partner, Discerning Capital), Josh Swissman (Consultant, GMA), Lauren Seiler (Founder, Global Gaming Advisors), and Eric Hession (President, Caesars Digital) will discuss the opportunities in the online casino field and the potential rewards that operators can capitalize on during the ‘Short-term memory: Have investors forgotten about iCasino?’ panel. Caroline Ponsetti (Communications Strategist, Invariant) will moderate the session where one main question will be answered: are investors tuned in to this long-term potential?

Once the conference session concludes, attendees will be invited to join Networking Drinks directly on the Trading Floor at 6 pm.

Secure your spot at the Capital Markets Forum with a pass priced at $300. Availability is limited.

Conveniently timed, the event precedes the SBC Summit North America, the foremost iGaming & Sports Betting Event in North America, scheduled for May 7-9 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey. This ensures convenience for those interested in attending both events.

Tom Horn Gaming has unveiled Sweet Gold 3000, a new online slot due for general release on 16 June. The company positions the game as a high-volatility title with multipliers up to 3,000x and maximum exposure of 13,900x.

Sweet Gold 3000 runs a 6×5 scatter-pays setup and introduces Tom Horn Gaming’s BlastX™ feature alongside its cascade-style Shatter Wins mechanic, where consecutive wins continue through chain reactions. Random Gold Chocolate multiplier symbols can appear during spins with values from 2x to 3,000x, the company said.

The free spins feature is triggered by landing four or more scatter symbols and uses increasing multipliers. During the bonus round, players can unlock an additional five free spins by landing three extra scatters. A Free Spins Booster is also available for 1.5x the total bet, which Tom Horn Gaming says triples the chance of triggering free spins in the base game.

For players seeking direct access to bonus gameplay, the game includes Bonus Buy entry into Free Spins or Super Free Spins modes.

Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, said: “Sweet Gold 3000 is unlike anything else in our portfolio. We wanted to create a game that feels rebellious, energetic and visually striking while still delivering the high-intensity gameplay players are looking for today. The combination of urban graffiti culture, candy symbolism and huge multiplier potential gives the game a very distinctive personality that stands out instantly in casino lobbies.”

Genius Sports Limited has delivered another season of strong results across its football trading services ahead of the World Cup, with Edge driving a 16.6% increase in football margins for sportsbook operators during the 2025/26 domestic season.

Edge, Genius Sports’ automated margin optimisation software, continued to deliver meaningful margin uplift for sportsbooks throughout the campaign. By adjusting each operator’s odds based on liabilities across all market-types on a fixture-level, Edge margins across major competitions saw substantial growth, including the Champions League (+34%), Premier League (+22%), La Liga (+21%), Italy’s Serie A (+17%) and Ligue 1 (+16%).

Official data partnerships continued to underpin market-leading uptime across elite football competitions. The Premier League delivered 98% overall uptime with 158 matches exceeding 99% uptime, providing an average of five minutes and 19 seconds of additional availability per match compared to alternative suppliers. Italy’s Serie A achieved 97% uptime, representing a 3% improvement on the previous season. Ligue 1 also recorded uptime levels above 95%.

Throughout the 2025/26 season, Genius Sports continued to invest heavily in football trading innovation. This included migrating all 89,000 in-play football events to new Monte Carlo simulation models, enhancing Match State data with player-level information and expanding its player proposition market offering.

Genius Sports has further expanded its football offering, delivering player proposition markets including shots, shots on target, score or assist, fouls and goalkeeper saves across pre-match, in-play and betbuilder, with additional markets such as tackles and offsides set to launch before the 2026/27 season. The company also introduced a new stoppage-time predictor designed to deliver sharper pricing during the closing stages of matches, following a season that saw a record 139 injury-time goals scored.

BetVision, Genius Sports’ interactive live streaming solution, continued to demonstrate strong engagement throughout the season. Across key football competitions, BetVision delivered a 22% increase in customer retention compared to standard streaming experiences, including a 53% increase across Brazil’s Serie A, a 35% increase across the Turkish Super Lig and a 20% increase across Italy’s Serie A. Ligue 1 viewers also spent 22% longer watching content through the platform.

As operators prepare for the biggest football betting event in the world, the results highlight how Genius Sports’ football trading service continues to drive profitability, improve market availability and enhance customer engagement.

James McKiernan, Commercial Director at Genius Sports, said: “The 2025/26 season was another year of growth and investment across our football trading and engagement products. Edge delivered significant margin improvements across football, while the expansion of BetVision, official data coverage and advanced modelling helped operators maximise uptime and deepen customer engagement.”
