iGaming Licensing at SBC Summit 2026 in Lisbon

SBC Summit returns to Lisbon from 29 September to 1 October 2026, taking over FIL – Lisbon Exhibition & Congress Centre and the MEO Arena at Parque das Nações. It is the biggest date in the betting and gaming calendar, and the iGaming Licensing team will be there for all three days.

Why we go

Lisbon is where the whole supply chain ends up in one place — operators planning their next market, platform and content suppliers, payment providers, banks and the regulators themselves. For a licensing consultancy that is three days of conversations that would otherwise take three months of calls.

What we will be talking about

• Choosing a jurisdiction. Where Malta, the Isle of Man, Alderney, Curaçao, Anjouan and Tobique each make sense, and what they really cost once fees, duty and compliance are counted.
• The Curaçao transition. What the move to direct licensing under the Curaçao Gaming Authority means for operators still holding legacy sub-licences.
• New and changing markets. Ireland's incoming regime under the Gambling Regulatory Authority, the UAE's commercial gaming framework, and what market access in Ontario actually involves.
• Banking and payments. Why so many applications stall at the bank rather than the regulator, and how to prepare an onboarding pack that gets through.

Arrange a meeting

Diaries at SBC fill up quickly. If you are attending and want an hour with us — whether you are applying for a first licence, adding a market, or restructuring an existing group — get in touch and we will lock in a time before the show.

If you are not making it to Lisbon this year, we are happy to set up a call instead.
