Europe’s iGaming Hub to Host 6,000 Strong at SBC Summit Malta

Malta’s gaming scene is about to come alive as 6,000 professionals gather for the first-ever SBC Summit Malta—a next-level evolution of the beloved CasinoBeats Summit.

Taking place at the InterContinental in St Julian’s from 10–12 June, the event will serve as Europe’s strategic iGaming hub—uniting 2,000 betting and iGaming operators, 750 affiliates, and thousands more from game studios, sportsbooks, payment providers, regulatory bodies, and marketing professionals for three intense days of dealmaking, complimented by numerous learning opportunities.

On the educational front, delegates will gain access to expert insights from 250 industry leaders across a three-stage agenda. Alongside dedicated tracks for casino, affiliation and marketing, the expanded programme will now cover key verticals including sports betting, European regulation & compliance and payments.

The agenda will also include 17 expert-led workshops, designed to provide an intimate and interactive learning experience. Topics will range from personal development and brand expansion to audience behaviour insights and the future of iGaming SEO. 

Across the conference programme, delegates will have the chance to hear from a distinguished lineup of industry experts, such as Nils Andén (CEO, Kindred Group), Andreas Bardun (CEO, KTO Group), Francesco Postiglione (CEO, Casumo Holdings Ltd), Axel Hefer (CEO, Tipico), Jovana Popović Čanaki (CEO, iGP), Charles Mizzi (CEO, Malta Gaming Authority), Elen Barber (CMO, SuperGroup), Kristina Murgovska (CPO, Rhino Entertainment), amongst many others. 

Commenting on the upcoming event, Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: “Last year’s CasinoBeats Summit was a great success, but we recognised the growing need for an event that caters specifically to the entire gambling industry ecosystem. SBC Summit Malta is our answer to that demand.

“For iGaming and casino specialists, the event continues to provide the targeted focus you've come to expect. But with the addition of new educational tracks and strategic discussions on payments, sports betting, and regulation, it’s now an essential event for all professionals looking to make an impact in Europe.”

The summit’s exhibition floor will host leading regional and global brands, giving delegates the opportunity to take a closer look at the latest technological innovations, advanced platforms and services, and exciting new game releases. Notable exhibitors include 1X2 Network, Alea, BetConstruct, BluOrBank, BridgerPay, ELA Games, GamingMalta, Impressario Casino, Lambda Gaming, Paynovate, Smartico, Z-Gaming, among others.

The showfloor will also feature a variety of dedicated facilities and meet-ups across the two days. On the morning of Thursday, 12 June, industry professionals are invited to attend the Women Empowerment Breakfast Meet-Up. Meanwhile, the ‘Craps Lounge’ and ‘Roulette Lounge’, sponsored by JohnnyBet, will offer relaxed environments for casual networking across the two days. 

Concluding each day will be a number of evening networking events, available to all those with a ‘Full Event Pass’. The event will kick off on Tuesday, 10 June, with the SBC Summit Malta ‘Opening Party’ at Infinity by Hugos. On Wednesday, 11 June, the spotlight turns to the debut edition of the INFINITY Malta at the Aria Complex— a festival-inspired industry party headlined by EDM superstar Galantis. The final day, Thursday, 12 June, will wrap up with the Official Closing Party at Open Waters, alongside the prestigious SBC Awards Europe 2025 at the Hilton Malta (separate ticket required).
