SBC doubles down on its mission to uplift women in sports betting, iGaming, and related fields with the launch of the Women Empowerment Initiative (WE).

WE aims to connect, educate, and empower women, fostering a community of strong, inspired leaders ready to make an impact.

Starting this September, SBC will roll out a special program at the SBC Summit, held at Feira Internacional de Lisboa on 24-26 September.

Groups such as All-In Diversity Project, Brazil-focused Association of Women in the Gaming Industry (AMIG), LATAM-facing Asociación Femenina de Gaming (ASFEG), Global Gaming Women (GGW), SheEOs, Malta-based Women in Gaming Group, and Women in Gaming – African Chapter are already backing this effort to unite and empower women.

Lucía Mouriño, VP Relationships LatAm, SBC: “Drawing 25,000 delegates from around the world, this flagship event is the perfect opportunity for us at SBC to partner up with leading organisations, associations, and groups dedicated to empowering women.

“As an event organiser, we are committed to providing a space for women in our male-dominated industry to discuss what matters to them. We are very pleased with the overwhelming support from our allies worldwide.”

SBC has a history of actively raising awareness about the challenges women in the industry face by hosting networking breakfasts at all its events and curating conferences specifically designed to unite women through mentorship, tailored content, and special features.

Notably, the latest edition of CasinoBeats Summit in May dedicated an entire day to women in gaming, starting with a relaxing yoga session and ending with a poker tournament, providing a holistic, empowering, and fun experience.

With the Lisbon conference less than two months away, SBC is now expanding its mission. Formalising this initiative by giving it a name and purpose marks the first step in showcasing the company’s commitment to creating a year-round support network that extends beyond SBC Summit and other events.

The SBC Summit 2024 itinerary will feature a robust program designed to foster connections among women. Highlights include a dînatoire, a dedicated meet-up on the expo floor with curated ice-breakers, the beloved GGW breakfast tradition, and conference content addressing the most relevant issues facing women in our industry.

Furthermore, SBC will hold a small special recognition ceremony for two outstanding women in the industry who have not only excelled professionally but have also dedicated themselves to mentoring and advocating for women in sports betting and iGaming.

Mouriño added: “As we embark on this initiative, it’s important to honour and celebrate both an established legacy and an emerging star committed to empowering her peers, without waiting for everything to be perfectly in place.”

22Bet Partners Introduces The Winner’s League — An Affiliate Competition Built for Football Season

Published

on

As the football world prepares for its biggest stage, 22Bet Partners is warming up with a competition of its own.

In anticipation of the upcoming World Cup, the affiliate program has announced “The Winner’s League”, a limited-time campaign designed to reward new partners who bring winning traffic during the most exciting period of the football calendar.

Being a brand deeply rooted in the global sports scene, 22Bet has long aligned its identity with the energy, competition, and global passion surrounding football. The new campaign reflects that same spirit — turning affiliate performance into a league of its own.

Running from April 15 to June 15, The Winner’s League invites new affiliates to step onto the field, compete for performance-based rewards, and secure boosted revenue share conditions ahead of the football season’s peak traffic period.

For traffic owners focused on Tier-1, Tier-2 markets, the campaign offers a straightforward challenge: bring players, reach milestones, and climb the reward ladder.

How The Winner’s League Works

The promotion is available exclusively to new partners who register and meet the campaign requirements during the promotional period.

To participate, affiliates must:

  • Register in the 22Bet Partners affiliate program
  • Drive traffic from eligible Tier-1, Tier-2 regions
    (For detailed GEO information, partners are encouraged to contact their affiliate managers.)
  • Generate verified First Time Deposits (FTDs) during the campaign period

Only traffic that complies with the program’s official rules and conditions will be considered eligible.

Bonus Levels & Rewards

The Winner’s League operates with a clear milestone structure. As partners increase their performance, their rewards grow accordingly.

20 FTDs

  • 5% RevShare boost for 1 month

50 FTDs

  • 10% RevShare boost for 2 months

100 FTDs

  • 5% RevShare boost for 3 months
  • Exclusive Secret Football Box

The Secret Football Box will be awarded to the first 10 partners who reach the 100 FTD milestone.

Additional Campaign Rules

  • Bonuses are credited after FTD confirmation.
  • Each partner receives only the highest reward tier achieved.
  • The promotion applies to the following brands within the program:
    • 22Bet
    • Betlabel
  • All traffic must comply with the official affiliate program rules outlined in the Terms & Conditions

Playing the Long Game

For affiliates who treat performance marketing like a competitive sport, the timing of the campaign is no coincidence.

Major football tournaments historically bring some of the highest engagement levels in sports betting, and 22Bet Partners is positioning its affiliate network to capture that momentum early.

With The Winner’s League, the message is simple: the football season is approaching, the audience is warming up, and the field is open for new players.

For affiliates ready to compete, the league has already begun.

KSA Completes Its Investigation Into How Minors Could Still Gamble Online Despite Age Restrictions

Published

ksa-completes-its-investigation-into-how-minors-could-still-gamble-online-despite-age-restrictions

 

The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has completed its investigation into how minors could still gamble online despite age restrictions. The investigation shows that it is virtually impossible for minors to gamble with legal gambling providers.

Minors are not allowed to gamble in the Netherlands. When age verification is circumvented, it is primarily done via accounts belonging to adult family members and friends. However, the KSA received reports that it was possible for minors to create accounts with legal online gambling providers and launched an investigation in 2025 as a result.

The study examined the registration process at online gambling providers, with a specific focus on identity verification and bank account verification. Transaction data requested from banks allowed for a more in-depth investigation into potential shortcomings.

The investigation shows that there are virtually no serious irregularities. However, in a very limited number of cases, players were able to use another person’s bank accounts or link their own bank account to another player’s account. This could occur almost exclusively in situations where people have exactly the same initials.

Discussions with online gambling providers revealed that they did not have an immediate solution for this. The KSA notes that such a solution is now available and will engage in a technical session with the online providers to discuss what the KSA expects from the sector in this regard. The KSA will also share its recommendations with the online gambling providers at a later date, and these guidelines will be incorporated into the Wwft guidance.

Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the Board of the Dutch Gaming Authority, said: “The KSA is deeply concerned about minors gambling. Fortunately, it appears that this hardly ever occurs among licensed providers, but we do have clear indications that it is happening nonetheless. This is likely on the illegal market. Illegal providers often apply no or low standards for age verification and advertise specifically targeting this young demographic, for example via TikTok. This is extremely harmful, and the KSA is therefore working hard to combat the illegal supply. We are also placing a stronger focus on educating minors to make them aware of the risks of gambling.”
