Voxbet appoints Ian Marmion as new Non-Executive Director
Emerging force in sports betting tech installs former Trading & Operations Director at TSG’s Sportsbook to continue the rapid expansion of its global footprint
Voxbet, the creator of innovative software that allows customers to speak or type their bets, has appointed Ian Marmion as a Non-Executive Director with a focus on the growth and strategic direction of the business.
The former Trading & Operations Director for Global Sportsbook at The Stars Group has been a long-time proponent of modernizing the sports betting industry by developing and deploying new technologies. He was one of the first to introduce automated pricing and trading models while Trading Director at BetVictor in the early 2000s and more recently contracted Banach Technology to reimagine the in-play UX at BetStars and FoxBet. He is now a much sought-after consultant within the sports betting sector throughout the world.
Voxbet software allows sports bettors to securely and accurately bet via natural-language voice and text, making it fast and easy to place even the most complex bets. Marmion’s new role follows hard on the heels of Andrew Lee’s appointment as Chairman, highlighting Voxbet’s global vision to capitalize on its transformational technology, improving the user experience for every generation of bettor along the way.
Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, said: “Ian is an experienced operator and supremely well-credentialed in developing and optimizing industry-leading digital products. He is a blisteringly clear communicator, with excellent business relationship management skills. We’re confident his appointment will assist us in achieving our goals, underscored by his sharp strategic focus around the online customer experience, data and innovation. Needless to say, Ian brings significant value to our leadership team, as we look to improve market share across Europe, and prepare ourselves for rapid expansion on both sides of the pond.”
Ian Marmion, Director at Voxbet, added: “I am thrilled to become more involved with the Voxbet team at such an exciting time having been an investor for many years. I am a massive believer in the transformative effect that new technology can have on the sports betting business. Operators have been doing the same thing for too long. Voxbet now allows bettors to engage with sports betting the way they already engage with almost everything else online – and that journey begins with speaking or typing what you want. We let operators broaden their reach and make betting more convenient, simpler and faster – providing an overall richer customer experience.
“Voxbet’s unique tools connect with all types of bettors, from the seasoned expert to the novice. Accordingly, whether on or off-platform, we’ve become an essential tool for operators in today’s messaging-app-centered world. Thanks to the expertise developed from the machine-learning of millions of bets per month, through apps such as Viber and Telegram as well as SMS, Voxbet understands what a customer wants to bet on, via messages both written or spoken, and then securely places the bet on behalf of the customer.
“Today, we’re closer than ever to marrying human senses with machine learning to enable truly personalized virtual shopping. It’s the same with betting. And our artificial intelligence is driven by similar data processing. So the more data we can harvest, the smarter our system becomes.
“It’s fantastic to become more involved with such a strong, experienced management team that is player-focused and eager to tailor our offering to make it work, above all, for the end-user.”

SBC Summit Tbilisi Gears Up for Its Strongest Edition Yet

SBC Summit Tbilisi 2025 will return to Georgia’s capital on 15-16 October, bringing together 2,000 senior industry professionals and 40+ exhibitors to exchange expertise and discover the brands leading the way in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Co-hosted with SMH Global—a Georgia-founded company operating at the intersection of sports, sports media, and iGaming across Eurasia and beyond, and a longtime SBC partner in the region—the event will take place at the 5-star Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace.
By bringing together key stakeholders in a regionally rooted setting, the event will open direct access to high-growth markets including Georgia, Kazakhstan, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Armenia—territories where success is driven by deep local understanding rather than standard European strategies.
An invaluable part of the event, the two-day conference agenda is designed to reflect current market realities, highlight emerging opportunities, and offer forward-looking insights into where the industry is heading.
Topics will range from licensing and taxation to the cultural nuances that shape business in geographically close, yet fundamentally different, markets. Speakers will include some of the most respected names in the industry, regional experts, and global strategists whose experiences offer practical value for decision-makers.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “We created SBC Summit Tbilisi to give serious operators and suppliers a direct route into some of the most promising but underexplored markets in the industry. It’s a focused, high-value event built for businesses looking for real insight, strong local partnerships, and a better understanding of how to succeed in a region poised for huge growth.”
Alongside the conference, the expo will spotlight top suppliers and service providers active in the region. Attendees can engage directly with potential partners and explore solutions tailored to local regulatory, operational, and cultural needs.
Lasha Machavariani, Founder of SMH, commented: “This is the third year of SBC Summit Tbilisi, and it’s been incredible to watch it grow stronger with each edition.
“Georgia has proven to be an ideal host, not just strategically, thanks to its business-friendly environment and location at the heart of Eurasia, but also culturally. There’s a natural sense of hospitality, openness, and energy here that makes the summit a truly unique experience for international delegates and local leaders alike.”
Now in its third year, the event reflects Georgia’s growing role as a natural hub for the industry, both strategically and culturally. The country’s tax-efficient business environment, supportive regulatory outlook, and location at the crossroads of East and West position it as an ideal base for operators exploring outsourcing, regional expansion, or relocation. Combined with a strong tradition of hospitality and openness to innovation, Georgia offers a powerful springboard for companies looking to establish and scale their presence across Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Beyond its geographical focus, SBC Summit Tbilisi is designed to ensure the right people are in the room. By leveraging the networks of both SBC and SMH, the event guarantees a high-level audience that includes key decision-makers from major regional operators, hyper-local affiliates, and top-tier suppliers. The attendee profile is further enriched by the presence of government representatives, regulators, and local media, ensuring discussions go beyond networking and drive real regional impact.
True to SBC’s event style and Georgia’s spirit of hospitality, both days will wrap up with evening networking events, offering attendees valuable time to continue conversations and strengthen connections in a more casual atmosphere.
For companies looking to scale in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, SBC Summit Tbilisi offers the insight, access, and connections that matter. Registration is now open.
SBC Summit Tbilisi stands apart from broader expos, offering a more focused and regionally relevant experience. It forms part of SBC’s global conference series, alongside SBC Summit Rio, SBC Summit Americas, SBC Summit Malta, and the global-focused SBC Summit in Lisbon.
