It will serve as the ideal platform for CFOs, Payments Directors, Heads of Payments, Payments Managers, Heads of AML/Fraud, KYC Managers, and payment and service providers to discuss the latest issues and strategies impacting the payment sector.

The summit will feature a dedicated conference program, networking facilities, and a show floor, providing a comprehensive environment for professionals to gain insights and forge valuable connections.

The exhibition floor will provide 25,000 delegates with the opportunity to explore the latest industry technologies and innovative payment solutions and services from 70 leading global brands.

On the evening of Wednesday, September 25th, SBC will also host a dedicated ‘Payment Expert VIP Dinner & Networking Party’. This invite-only event will be held at the award-winning Trindade bar, offering operators and payment brands a three-course dinner and complimentary drinks.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: “Reflecting on last year’s SBC Summit Barcelona, it was clear that delegates responded extremely positively to our ‘Payments & Compliance Zone.’ This enthusiasm, along with the tremendous work of our media brand ‘Payment Expert,’ made it an easy decision to establish a dedicated summit.

“By offering delegates a focused educational program, showcasing the latest services and products, and providing ample networking opportunities, we aim to spur innovation and collaboration to drive the industry forward.”

Payment professionals looking to enhance their knowledge can anticipate three days of educational content addressing crucial topics impacting the payment sector. Sessions will explore the impact of open banking on financial access for gamblers by 2025, the transformative effects of unified payments on the gambling industry, navigating global complexities in gambling AML, and the influence of global economic trends on payment departments. Additionally, discussions will delve into the relationship between evolving fraud attempts and payment systems, and whether cryptocurrency can redefine the future of betting and gaming.

Industry experts set to feature as part of the Payment Expert Summit conference include Gabriele Griesbacher (Global Director of Payments and Compliance, DAZN), Isabelle Delisle (Global Head of Group Payments, Pinnacle), Christian Reinheimer (Group Director of Payments Product, LeoVegas Group), Liron Warhaftig (VP Product, BetMGM), Agata Smilgin (Head of Fraud and Payments, The Luck Factory), Rahul Das (Director of Payments, LiveScore Group), Sandhya Singh (Chief Customer Experience Officer, Casumo), Shirelle Zammit (CFO, Hit Gaming), Andrea McGeachin (CEO, Neosurf) and more.

Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from 30 June to 1 July to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, Australia and the US traveled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.

In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.

“The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes,” said Ludwig Beckmann, Chief Compliance Officer of the Merkur Group.

The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable the international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.

GRAI Launches New Campaign Helping Parents to Spot the Signs of Underage Gambling

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is encouraging parents and guardians to be alert to the signs of gambling among young people and to intervene early to prevent gambling harm.

The signs of gambling aren’t always visible, the GRAI in partnership with the Health Service Executive Addiction Services have developed dedicated advice on www.grai.ie to equip families with the knowledge to recognise the signs, advice on how to start the conversation with their children about gambling, and where to seek help if required.

To support the guidance, the GRAI has launched a national public awareness campaign across video on demand, radio, digital audio, and social media platforms, bringing this message directly to families across Ireland.

With the lines between entertainment and gambling increasingly blurred, especially online, what may look like harmless fun can still involve risk, money and chance in ways that affect young developing brains. Research commissioned by the GRAI and conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) found that children who gamble are twice as likely to develop a gambling problem as adults.

Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI said: “We have launched this campaign to help parents start an important conversation about the risks of underage gambling. Children and young people are among the most at-risk members of Irish society when it comes to gambling exposure and harm. Children’s brains are still developing the judgement and impulse-control systems used to weigh up risk, which makes gambling appealing to them.

“With online gambling available at any time of the day, it is easy for the warning signs to be hidden. The guidance the GRAI developed with the HSE Addiction Services sets out some of the key behavioural signs to look out for in your child.”
