SBC Summit Tbilisi Conference Agenda Maps Path to Growth in Eastern Europe & Central Asia
This October, SBC Summit Tbilisi 2025 returns to Georgia with an enhanced conference agenda that connects the industry to the expertise and insights of local Eastern European and Central Asian leaders, helping delegates succeed in these markets.
Co-hosted with SMH Global, a Georgia-based company at the crossroads of sports, media, and iGaming, the summit will once again take place at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace on 15–16 October.
With over 50 speakers, the two-day agenda will cover local marketing, regulatory hurdles, and talent development, offering delegates the expertise needed to build stronger operations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Commenting on this year’s conference agenda, Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, said: “We’ve worked closely with SMH and a group of local experts who really understand the region to shape this agenda. They know how to connect with Eastern European players, why crypto has taken off in gaming here, and how sports icons influence the way fans engage. It’s their stories and expertise that make the program in Tbilisi so valuable.”
Day One will dig into the realities of entering and growing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Panels will explore what it really takes to win over players from a marketing perspective, while others will examine how operators can navigate multi-jurisdictional compliance, balancing taxation, GDPR, and responsible gambling rules without losing efficiency.
Beyond regulation, discussions will look at how traditional casinos are reinventing themselves, from integrating digital products to keeping pace with changing player expectations. The day will conclude with a candid discussion on the rise of cryptocurrency in iGaming, asking whether it is truly a game-changer for payments and trust or a risk that requires careful management.
Day Two will turn the spotlight to sports and player engagement. Panels will unpack how athletes and sports icons influence fan communities, shape responsible play, and build brand trust, with case studies of successful collaborations between gaming brands and top stars. Discussions will then move into the rise of esports and fantasy sports, asking whether these interactive formats are the key to winning over younger, more skill-driven audiences.
Experts will also dig into gamification, from leaderboards and missions to loyalty programmes, and debate which mechanics truly keep players engaged long term. Later in the day, attention will shift to the region’s growing reputation as a talent hub, with speakers sharing how companies are recruiting and retaining top tech and product talent from Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, and beyond. The program will close on the power of sport itself, exploring how major events like the World Cup and Olympics fuel massive betting activity, and how sponsorships are reshaping the global sports economy.
Looking ahead to this year’s summit, Sojmark added: “For me, the real value of this agenda is its practicality. Delegates will leave with ideas they can put into practice across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Just as importantly, it’s about looking ahead, thinking about the region’s future role in the industry and how businesses can start preparing for it today.”

Scaling In-App Traffic in iGaming: A Performance-Driven Approach
Traffy, a performance marketing agency specializing in in-app traffic, has seen a clear shift in how iGaming campaigns scale today.
The era of “launch and forget” in iGaming is over. The market has become more competitive, and users are more demanding than ever. Scaling campaigns is no longer just about volume — success now depends on the depth of analytics, the speed of response to user behavior, and traffic quality.
Market Transformation
In the past, scaling followed a simple logic: more traffic meant more conversions. Today, that approach no longer works. Users have become more selective, and both CPA and ROI are directly tied to post-deposit behavior.
If advertisers fail to track key performance indicators within the first 72 hours — including user activity, repeat deposits, and conversion to FTD — budgets are spent without control, and scaling turns into guesswork.
New Requirements for Scaling
Scaling campaigns today requires a much more structured approach:
- Funnel analysis within the first 72 hours to quickly identify effective setups
- Traffic segmentation and strict quality control
- Continuous monitoring of user activity, repeat deposits, and FTD conversion rates
If there is no positive performance trend within the first three days, the setup is stopped immediately. This allows teams to minimize losses and reallocate budgets toward high-performing campaigns.
Common Pitfalls of Legacy Approaches
Many operators and affiliates still rely on outdated strategies that limit their ability to scale effectively:
- Focusing solely on CPA without considering unit economics and profitability
- Scaling broadly without proper traffic segmentation
- Lack of predictive analytics in the early stages of campaigns
- Underestimating traffic quality and fraud risks
These issues lead to unstable performance, rising CPI, and a loss of control over ROI.
The Traffy Approach
At Traffy, we build scalable infrastructure designed to manage in-app traffic with a performance-first mindset.
- Traffic quality control: black and white lists, ongoing audits, and integrated fraud analytics
- AI-driven optimization: algorithms that predict campaign performance and dynamically reallocate budgets toward the most efficient setups
- Performance focus: real-time analysis of the first 72 hours, deep segmentation, and continuous monitoring of key metrics and ROI
This approach allows us to scale only the traffic that is proven to be profitable, reducing risks and improving predictability at scale.
Conclusion
A performance-driven approach has become essential for scaling In-App campaigns in iGaming. The key to success lies in deep analytics, traffic segmentation, predictive modeling, and strict control within the first 72 hours.
The market has changed — and those who succeed are not the ones who scale volume, but those who scale quality traffic.
At Traffy, this approach is at the core of how we build and scale campaigns, ensuring sustainable growth and measurable performance for our partners.
