SBC Summit North America to Discuss the Uncharted Path of iGaming in the United States

Published

The 2024 edition of SBC Summit North America will spotlight iGaming, a vertical with immense revenue potential which is, however, often overshadowed in the United States by the successes in the sports betting field.

The ‘iGaming’ conference track, scheduled for Wednesday, May 8th, will bring together senior iGaming professionals to share their invaluable insights on key topics within the sector. Attendees, numbering 5,000, can anticipate in-depth discussions on the reinvention of land-based experiences through digital integration, debates on whether iGaming is cannibalizing land-based operations, and strategies for developing profitable iGaming applications, among other compelling subjects.

The panel titled ‘Why Online Casino Legislation Hasn’t Kept Pace With Sports Betting’ will explore the lack of regulatory attention iGaming has received in North America. Industry experts Adam Glass (Director of B2B Services, Rush Street Interactive), Elizabeth Suever (Vice President, Government Relations, Bally’s), Brandt Iden (VP Government Affairs, Fanatics Betting & Gaming), Cesar Fernandez, (Senior Director Head of State Government Relations, FanDuel), and moderator Shawn Fluharty (President-Elect, National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS)) will aim to explain the disparity between sports betting and iGaming, explore the regulatory and revenue models for the two sectors, and discuss new approaches from lobbyists and legislators.

The panel ‘Omnichannel Effectiveness: From Land-Based to Digital and Back’, will discuss the necessity for land-based operations to prioritize the creation of omnichannel experiences. Industry experts Bobby Soper (CEO, Sun Gaming), Matt Reback (President & CEO, Galaxy Gaming), Oliver Bartlett (Vice President of Gaming – Product & Content, BetMGM), Nick Patrick (Co-Founder and CEO, Radar), Stacey Rowland (Vice President and General Counsel, Genting Americas) and panel moderator Zoe Ebling (VP Interactive, AGS), will underscore the importance of seamless navigation between land-based and digital platforms for players, the requisite infrastructure for optimal player retention, and how land-based establishments can reinvent themselves to be accessible to all.

The panel titled ‘Blurred Lines: When is a Game of Skill Really a Game of Chance?’ will delve into the subtle differences between games that rely on skill and those that rely on luck. Industry experts CJ Fisher (Partner, Co-Chair, Gaming Department, Fox Rothschild), Jeff Hakala (Special Investigator, Connecticut Consumer Protection), Rafael DiCarlo (General Manager, Gaming NA Bancard) and panel moderator Matt Para (Principal, 10MB, LLC), will analyze instances of ambiguous iCasino and sports betting practices and explore the distinction between skill and luck in the eyes of regulators.

The conference session titled ‘Game Design 101: Launching a Profitable Product’ will bring together a host of professionals to discuss key strategies for launching a successful iGaming application. Industry luminaries Ricardo Cornejo (VP of Online Gaming, Caesars Entertainment), Alex Ursa (Head of Gaming, Betr), Doug Fallon (Group Director of Content, Bragg Gaming), Rich Criado (VP, Product & Fanatics Game Studios, Fanatics Betting and Gaming) alongside panel moderator Tony Plaskow (Commercial Director, Pixiu Gaming), will explore the essential tools companies require to effectively promote their products, foster loyalty, and achieve high player retention rates. Additionally, it will provide valuable insights and advice for game studios aiming to successfully launch their latest games.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to bolster their knowledge of the North American landscape through dedicated conference tracks covering leadership, sports betting, affiliates & marketing, industry & growth, compliance & regulation, and payments & tech. Additionally, the conference will include a dedicated tribal symposium, as well as two pre-day conferences; the Capital Market Forum and the Player Protection Symposium (entry to the pre-day conferences will require a separate ticket).

Extendy – Premier platform for affiliate teams looking to create online casinos.

An innovative platform for creating turnkey online casinos is entering the market, developed over more than four years by a team of 150 engineers in collaboration with top arbitration experts. The platform’s main advantages are its exceptionally quick return on investment, a fully autonomous turnkey operating system, and a focus on mobile traffic.

Owning a casino brand offers arbitration teams several benefits. The primary advantage is that investing in paid traffic can build free, high-quality organic traffic from social media, SEO, external sites, etc., over the long term. When traffic is directed to a partner, the team receives immediate financial returns but loses out on the long-term bonuses of owning their brand.

Return on Investment in 6 Months

Close partnerships with top arbitration teams over several years have allowed thousands of hypotheses to be tested, resulting in an ideal product tailored for these teams. This product maximizes player lifetime value (LTV) and reduces traffic payback time to just six months.

This effect is achieved through numerous technical solutions that enable real-time analysis of advertising campaigns and predictive determination of which to halt and which to scale up. One such solution is the “Traffic Light” technology, which quickly predicts whether the traffic will be profitable. Each partner is marked with a colour: green for excellent traffic that should continue, yellow for questionable traffic that requires caution, and red for bad traffic that should be stopped immediately. Arbitration teams that have used the “Traffic Light” technology for some time report that quick traffic analysis makes it almost impossible to incur losses.

Best ROI for Mobile Traffic with AppAI Technology

One of Extendy’s standout features is its unique AppAI technology, which unlocks new possibilities for attracting mobile traffic. A specially developed neural network analyzes the user’s profile and the ad they came from, creating a unique onboarding flow that significantly increases conversion rates. This drastically reduces the return on investment time for this type of traffic.


“AppAI is a perfect demonstration that Extendy is created by professionals for professionals. During the development process, our arbitration partners repeatedly emphasized the importance of working with mobile traffic. We dedicated a significant amount of time to optimizing the product for mobile players,” said Aivar, CBDO of Extendy.com.

Autonomous Operating System and Turnkey Brand

Another key advantage of Extendy is its fully autonomous operating system, which meets the highest industry standards.

The entire infrastructure is designed so that arbitration teams receive a fully functional casino for long-term development and profit without the need to manage any operational processes.


The CRM, Support, VIP, Content, Payment, Legal, and other operational components of the product are fully automated and self-sufficient. Ready-made, tested, and unique retention funnels, email sequences, gamification systems, 24/7 support, and VIP support in all languages, along with many other solutions, allow casino owners to fully focus on marketing and player acquisition.

In a closed beta phase, dozens of successful casinos were launched on the platform, including BetOnRed, CryptoLeo, BDMBet, and many others. Millions of players are attracted and an average traffic payback period of six months proves that the platform is effective and ready for public launch and further growth.

All you need to create your online casino on the Extendy platform is to submit an application on the Extendy website. Within 2 months of signing the contract, you will receive a license, necessary payment gateways and game providers will be connected to the brand, and final adjustments will be made.

To celebrate the platform launch, a promotion has been launched. Write in the comments of your application that you are from EuropeanGaming and receive special setup conditions.

Notifications to the Money Laundering Secretariat is one the most important sources of information on money laundering and financing of terrorism. A notification is information about a potentially criminal act, and it cannot be replaced by a report to the police.

Gambling operators are obligated to notify in accordance with section 26 of the AML Act. The obligation to notify means that gambling operators must immediately notify the Money Laundering Secretariat if they know of, suspect, or have reason to believe that a transaction, funds or an activity is or has been linked to money laundering or financing of terrorism.

Notifications are essential for the role of the Money Laundering Secretariat, as notifications can in themselves constitute a case. In addition, a notification about a suspicion can be part of a larger case of other suspicious matters.

Police reports cannot replace notifications

There are no exceptions to the obligation to notify even if you have reported the matter to the police. In case a gambling operator has reported a customer to the police, the gambling operator must also notify the Money Laundering Secretariat which is an authority independent from the police.
