Learn How to Optimise the Payment Journey and Navigate Compliance Standards in Online Gambling

As the industry works toward creating a frictionless payment experience that prioritises player safety, SBC Summit Barcelona attendees will gather in the dedicated 'Payments & Compliance Zone' to explore the next generation of payment products and discuss the challenges behind the toughening of compliance standards.

The zone is the perfect space to engage with operator Heads of Payments, Responsible Gambling Managers and Compliance Directors, connect with financial institutions and meet safer-gambling specialists. The exhibition floor will be bustling with leading companies such as Adyen, Aurum Solutions, Damex, FinXP, GBG, HooYu, IDnow, Truelayer, TruNarrative and Trustly, among others.

Even though the industry is flourishing, sports betting and iGaming professionals still have a lot of opportunities to explore and a lot of challenges to overcome. SBC Summit Barcelona will gather some of the most influential industry figures at the dedicated 'Payments & Compliance Conference stage' to discuss pressing issues ranging from the importance of introducing seamless payment solutions to compliance challenges in various markets.

Thursday, 22 September 2022: 'Payments Innovation'

The conference track will host a keynote speech delivered by Johan Tjärnberg (CEO, Trustly) and several panels focused on new payment technologies and the necessity of creating a positive payment experience.

With the introduction of new payment technologies and the evolution of compliance standards that require time and effort to adapt, we are thrilled to have a dedicated zone and conference stage to give our attendees a platform to learn about the latest developments in the above areas."
