The exhibition will also feature the SBC Awards ceremony honoring industry leaders. 1xBet has been nominated in two categories – Marketing Campaign and Sponsorship of the Year. Recognition from industry experts highlights the brand’s global leadership and strengthens its position in Europe.

1xBet will also actively participate in organizing industry discussions. The company’s Strategic Advisor, Simon Westbury, will speak on the panel Profit vs Protection: Who Is Building the Industry We Deserve? Drawing on his 18 years of experience in the iGaming sector, he will discuss ESG frameworks, the role of AI in monitoring behavioral risks, and the importance of balancing profit with player protection in light of evolving expectations from Generation Z.
”Following a successful series of shows in Latin America, we are looking forward to returning to Europe and demonstrating how 1xBet is leading the way in terms of player protection and understanding that a successful player protection strategy does not hinder profitability. We are committed to ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and entertaining experience for our players. As always with SBC shows, we are sure the conversations will be many and the show exuding the normal SBC vibrancy”.
