SBC Summit Americas will spotlight regulatory challenges shaping the North American gaming industry, with a dedicated compliance track aimed at helping stakeholders navigate evolving rules and enforcement trends.
The North American Regulation and Compliance track, scheduled for June 11, will bring together operators, regulators, and legal experts to examine growing pressures tied to regulation, including the rise of unregulated gaming formats and the impact of new state-level rules.
Sessions will explore how companies are balancing innovation with compliance, particularly as emerging segments such as prediction markets and new betting formats gain traction.
“For too long, the industry has looked at regulation and compliance from the wrong angle,” said Rasmus Sojmark, founder and CEO of SBC. “It shouldn’t be seen as an afterthought or a restriction, but as the first consideration for any meaningful growth, whether that’s market expansion or product integration. These sessions will show stakeholders how to actually use regulation and compliance to their advantage.”
One panel, titled ‘Regulators Rising: How Oversight Is Shaping North American Gaming,’ will feature Will Griffiths, chief executive of Level Media; Lee Terfloth, chief interactive officer (gaming) at Delaware North; and Dawn H. Himel, director at the Louisiana Department of Justice.
The speakers will discuss how operators are adapting to evolving state regulations and iGaming frameworks, as well as the implications of emerging formats such as prediction markets for product strategy and risk management.
Another session, ‘Innovation vs Regulation: Finding Common Ground in Prediction Markets and Emerging Formats,’ will include Martin Lycka, vice president for institutional affairs at Oddin.gg; Matt Kane, head of legal at Betr; Joe Brennan, co-founder of Prime Sports; and Evan Davis, managing director and head of gaming investment banking at Jefferies LLC.
The panel will examine legal and ethical uncertainties around new betting formats and how companies can balance innovation with compliance.
A third panel, ‘Crackdown on Unregulated Gaming: Where States Draw the Line,’ will bring together Jon Ford, former senator in Indiana; Carl Herold, director of law enforcement at the Florida Gaming Control Commission; and George Rover, managing partner at Princeton Global Strategies.
The discussion will focus on enforcement actions against offshore betting sites and sweepstakes casinos, and how states are defining illegal gaming and coordinating regulatory responses.
Beyond the dedicated track, regulation is expected to remain a central theme across the broader conference agenda, influencing discussions on payments, cryptocurrency frameworks, and event-based wagering.
The summit will take place at the Broward County Convention Center, bringing together around 10,000 industry participants as companies assess how to operate and expand in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
